Most of the introductions posts are about the character only but since I'm joining Crack Den for first time I would like to start by why I am here. I will try to make it short but it's a lot to resume so anyone who wants to know more feel free to IM me or post questions here. Also I want to remark than this and all in this post is a personal opinion.
Who am I?
A player that not very long after joining SL found out that RPlaying a kid was a way more fun than been a sexy lady been hit by guys all the time. I have tried the adult life, but as and adult alt, actually most of the RPlays I been at had to be as an adult character. But most of my time in SL has been spent as a SL kid.
How did I end up in CD?
After this summer, in which I been most of the time in RL away from SL, decided to get back and look around SL for interesting areas for SL kids. Over time things have changed a lot, kids don't look as creepy as they used to look (>.< some still do), different types of business and environments were created oriented specifically for SL family. But yet a lot of the SL kids and parents aren't into RP... basically with this I mean that they hang together and do family life but RP is mixed with ooc, RP and probably most of them don't even know what ooc means. I don't mean that is bad, sure they have fun and I been there, but I really enjoy RP, inmersive RP. So, looking around I happen to visit CD again, I been here years ago exploring but at that time this RP didn't seem attractive to me, it seem dark. Lucky for me experience let me see it with other eyes now.
What do I look for in CD?
Fun. I play to have fun, that doesn't mean been the most popular character around, or win at everything. Fun means having good Rplays. I hope to find here a good RP environment, with my RPlay I try to be as realistic as I can, some really like little drops of fantasy and humor in their RPlays, I do too but in the right amount. I build a character for a long run, everything that happens to my character affects the way I will react, think, become,.. in a future. Actions and consequences are there.
How did I pick my character?
The day I was visiting the sim OOCly, was observing a RP happening in the street between a few characters, when another one walked in after checking her profile and thinking for myself that one can be a good player, based on what I read on the profile, decide to IM her and ask her a few questions about CD and how the RP is around. That character happens to be Lauren Russo. She told me that she might be looking for a daughter. Though about it, visited CD also with my adult avatar to try the RP and a few days later decided to join.
How did I build up my character?
It was over a week of digging out information through IMs. Shocking for me was that Lauren's daughter was only 5 and I had tough to join CD as 11 year old. For those that doesn't know it there are different rules for kids under 9, under 13 and under 18. The rule that matters most in my case is 'Kids should be accompanied by an adult or guardian (can be older teens).'. That means been more restricted than if I was on jail almost. That rule makes sense since it's to enforce a more realistic experience. Gave a thought about it and well who doesn't love challenges. The youngest age I played in SL had been 6 year old but that was five years ago, and my rp skills weren't developed at all. I even had to look on youtube for a couple 5 year old videos to get a better idea of how I should be. If you go on SL kids environments and check how the kids are, you will find some teens that act almost as toddlers, some young kids that you would think they are in their late teens. Anyway my reference to build this character comes from out of SL, since I think that behaviors and also the look of the characters in SL are not very accurate to reality. And the character story came from all the information I could collect from those players that are my character family and close friends.
What's in my mind right now?
Well, strange question but this is something that I want to share. I think that my character isn't a easy one to be with (I'm talking ICly), after all Madison is a 5 year old, and at that age you are very dependent on others. Plus you have to add that some players love to archive objectives and get more power or become more popular, RPlaying with me is not the fastest way to get to that. Having two players as parents even ICly they don't live together, is good, the less NPCs around the better. Tho I still have a NPC nanny that I guess I will be expending a lot of time with. In resume, I'm here to RP, feel that my RP environment is very limited right now and in the following years, lol, but I will try my best to make it good RP.
And after this... finally introducing my character, Maddie.

Due the stress of John leaving, her sister and the medical studies, her mom decided to sent Maddie away with some relatives. Four years later, Lauren decides it's time for the little one to get back at home as her life seems to be more steady now. When Maddie gets home she finds out about, Ethan, a half-brother that her mom had just a year ago.
