I am in a group with 7 others and we have decided it would be a great idea to say that we have all met in liverpool but obviously are all from different backgrounds. Some Avatars in my group are a Frenchman, a Hippy and a glamour girl.
My Avatar is a geeky guy. I personally have a love for space, well, an obsession I guess, so therefore my group thought it fitting that this would be an ideal profile for me. I agreed because I guess now my own 'geeky' side can come out!
So far I am really enjoying this module, and its crazy to see how they evolve being a fictional character. It also shows that you really could be talking to anyone via the internet and just how easy it is to create a fake online profile. We have decided to do this via Facebook as we can all chat and comment to each other, and it also states that we have met through coming to Liverpool and all attend Liverpool University.
I wanted my Avatar to be a geeky lecturer at a University in California however, as I had to live in Liverpool I decided to make this a lot more interesting and say I was once an astronaut and NASA in Texas USA (which is where I originate from) however, an accident occurred whilst on a training programme and a gas can hit the side of my head causing me to loose all memory, therefore I have had to go back to Liverpool where I once was and enrol onto an Astrophysics course to re gain my memory!
I thought this was hilarious when I was writing it as its fictional but you do really begin to get into it! Especially when your peers and the other fictional characters begin to comment on your links and photographs.
I will keep on building my Avatar over the coming weeks!
Here's a link for it, defiantly worth a look trust me!
His name is Sheldon 'Galactic' Taylor.
