FyreGoddess didn’t start out as simply a character concept. She was a snarky joke at first, and somehow evolved into something more, some kind of anonymous extension of myself. I’m still the one with the lighter (though thankfully most others are also carrying fire with them most of the time now), but I’m also a superhero and a sim goddess and all these other things that FyreGoddess has evolved into.
That said, finding the right image to portray has been an interesting game. In TSO, when she first came into her own, it was simple using the creator. Medium skin tone, red hair – the only red hair truly befitting a goddess, IMO, evening gown for that aura of composure, beauty, grace… In City of Heroes, also a simple task. Superhero with fire-based powers, check. Medium/dark skin tone, check. Flaming red hair, gorgeous. Outfit in fire tones with fire accents, perfect. This, my friends, is the superhero identity of the FyreGoddess. Unfortunately, there are certain times when I want my overall online persona to cross platforms. At the core FyreGoddess is still me, still my overall online persona. People know me now, I’m not going to start over.
And herein lies the problem. When I posted primarily for TSO, I used my TSO face. In posting for CoH, I use my CoH face. But what about the other places? My friend made me a beautiful signature that sums up the overall feeling I have about FyreGoddess (see banner above for sig 
), but now I just don’t match.
It’s fascinating really. This persona has a life of her own and a recognized identity, but I’m just not happy crossing platforms with an established, platform-specific face. The time has come to find an overall, encompassing visual that doesn’t clash with the lovely graphic that fits all of that. Now I just have to figure out who I want me to be.
