[Avatar/Personality]Avatars:
Clothing: Talal wears a simple two piece outfit with a white sash hanging from her waist. The top is a pale yellow, made with a v-shaped neck line in the front, ¾ sleeves that cut off at an angle just below the elbow and the base of the top fits firmly around her midsection leaving a three to four inch section of bare skin between the top and the sash. Her pants are black and cut off at an angle similar to the shirt just below the knee. The white sash wraps around her hips along the waist line of the pants, tying in a special knot off to the left side of her hip. The rest of the sash from the knot down hangs loosely down her left leg to about the knee.
Eyes: Dark Brown.
Hair: Talal has long black hair that goes to her waist. She typically wears it pulled back in a single braid when questing for minimal interference during battle.
Height: 5'8"
Personality: Kali is often withdrawn, and appears to most as a bitter individual. She has created a wall to shield her from getting too close to people. This is widely due to allowing herself to be used by past friendships. She thought she was helping them when in fact they were just using what she could do for them and then drop her when she no longer has anything to give. She remains loyal to herself and her family, but resists starting any new close friendships. She has little patience with most people, finding their lack of commitment insipid and contemptible. She is constantly running battle scenes through her mind when someone crosses her path and “virtually” crushes them without remorse. Unfortunately, this only happens in her mind, outwardly she is very non-confrontational and will run away from the situation of possible.
Talal on the other hand originally started off the game much like her real world personality. She came with a sense of cockiness, independence and fully developed walls that above all else shielded her from everything that could be potentially hurtful, but also gave her a wrong sense of security that she could conquer anything. On her very first quest however, she found out that the game had a way of making skeletons burst out of her closet and those walls began to slowly crumble. With each quest and another situation, another wall fell and another new person had come into her life rather unexpectedly, confusing her to no end and unable to figure out how it happened. Experiencing the happening of being "Immersed" into the game for brief intervals during a quest with the Eventide Crescendo, Talal's walls finally broke completely, crumbling into a dusty mess that even the best puzzle maker couldn't put back together. Here she stays, confused, unknowing, frustrated and unable to hold in her emotions and much of what is on her mind inside. She allows people to get close and see the true her. The one that existed before those that abused it had gotten to her. She's taking it personally as a sign of weakness and mentally punishes herself everytime she lets someone new in, but can't seem to stop the connections that are happening. Trust is still an issue and although she will trust the new people with things, she is not yet ready to call them a true friend, still keeping a shred of doubt about each of them in the back of her mind just waiting form them to screw up and take advantage of her.

Wrong Side of the WorldTalal takes her first leap into The World and gets shown the ropes by a Wavemaster named Takua. He takes her to a first level field and tries to show her the basics of the game, all the while letting little tidbits of what the game is truly about slip out. Talal asks a few too many questions and things heat up a little at one point, but in the end they become friends and she gets recruited into the Army of Darkness.

Digging DeepFinding herself unable to sleep, Talal goes for an early morning stroll around Mac Anu hoping that there are not too many players online. Her hunch is correct and enjoys her time in the city until she runs into Takua, not knowing it is him at the time. Conversation leads to going on a quest in her search for a field where she can relax. The field in question was supposed to be inactive and in ruins as well as on the Theta server where she cannot currently access. Takua agrees to take her there to explore it. Curiosity gets the best of her and she picks up the questions where she left off on their first adventure together and finds out a lot more than she bargained for, leaving her with doubts if she truly wants to continue playing.

It was a typical Saturday morning. When I rolled out of bed, it was about 11 am. As usual, there was really nothing to do but stare at the four walls that made up my studio apartment. I walked over to the empty cupboards looking for something to eat. I pulled out a half-empty bag of Doritos and a Sobe. As I sat on my futon, flopping my feet up on a pillow, I reached for the laptop. I logged on to play Neverwinter Nights. The night before, when I logged off, I was getting my ass kicked by a Dracolich. Apparently, I saved in a bad spot as I was again fighting the same stupid Dracolich and still not winning. It was starting to really piss me off.
As I revived my character for the fifth time since logging on, the phone rings. I picked up the phone, practically ripping the handset off of the base. Who could possibly be bothering me in the middle of getting my butt kicked?
“Hello.” “Hey cuz.” A familiar voice came ringing through the phone. It was my cousin Zane. He lived on the other side of town near the train station. I looked up at the clock as he said hello and realized it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
“Do you have any plans today or tonight?” His voice was excited, like a little kid at a candy store jumping up and down while pointing at his favorite candy.
“Other than getting my butt kicked by the Dracolich; not really” I replied. “Why?” I asked as my fingers frantically tapped on the keys, casting spells hoping something would hit. The other NPC’s were doing the same, swinging their swords and casting even more spells.
“My buddies and I are getting a LAN party together for later today, would you like to join in?” His voice still sounding anxious and excited as if he were bouncing off the wall, waiting for my response.
As he was talking, my mind was intently concentrating on the screen in front of me. My necromancer was dying yet again. I was throwing everything I had in my arsenal at this thing and it wasn’t enough!
“Hey, are you still there? Did you here me?” Zane yelled through the phone. “Huh? What? “Sorry” I replied, cringing a little at the shoulders because I wasn’t listening to him at all. “Um, where are you going?” My fingers stopped and I looked up at the ceiling, watching the fan go ‘round and ‘round trying to remember what he said.
“Are you in or not?” He said slightly disgusted, knowing I was paying more attention to a game than him.
“Sure, sounds great. Where and when should I meet you?” At that moment, I realized that the enthusiasm level in my voice was not where he wanted it to be. Oh well, wouldn’t want to be him.
About that time, my necromancer died for the sixth time in one day! Pressing back the urge to throw my laptop across the room, I heard Zane say “be at my place around 4 pm, we will start as soon as everyone gets here.”
At the last minute before hanging up the phone, I blurted out “what game are you planning on playing?” He responded with “The World, have you heard of it?” “Can’t say that I have, I hope it’s good. As long as there are no damn Dracolich’s, I should be fine with it!” It was time to try a different game, so tonight might prove to be interesting. My mind raced with ideas of what this new ‘World’ could be like. Does it have monsters or is it a spy game where you spy on the other players and try to figure out who the double agent is? What could it be? I jumped up and started getting ready; the day just turned a touch exciting at last!
It took about an hour by bus to get over to Zane’s house so I didn’t have time to mess around. After a quick shower, I was ready to go. With my laptop secured in its’ carrying case, I was out the door. I timed it just right; the bus was just coming down the street. Great, I will get to Zane’s a little early. Maybe he will let me preview the game before everyone got there. I hopped on the bus and sat down. My feet were tapping on the floor causing my legs to bounce up and down. I haven’t had an adrenaline rush like this in a while.
The bus ride seemed to take an eternity. Finally, here was my stop. Hopping off at the nearest bus stop to Zane’s house, I found myself practically jogging all the way there. I jumped the two steps to his door and rang the bell.
