Hello...I am Satra Rhode, Sovereign of Maeve. That sounds very important yes?
I initially came to Second Life in July 2007...as I explored all the beautiful wonders, I realized that all of this was created by the people here just like me. I thought "how wonderful" to create something here in Second Life that is in my head!...So...I set out to learn as much as I could...I rented my first house...it was a cave home in a beautiful sim that is not there anymore...:(...but I have many pictures. Then I found what is called a Sandbox where budding builders could go to make things...houses, cars, castles (that was my interest)....I learned prim by prim how to build castles and it was so much fun I cannot express it fully. When I learned that you could own land here, I set out to buy my first sim (an island) later in 2007. I was estatic and overwhelmed at same time...by that time, I had developed some friends who are still very dear to me today who helped to pull me out of the clouds and discuss all the possibilities for this land...The first thing I built in my sim was the Firepit...hihihi....and there will always be the Firepit in Maeve...This is where my friends and I gathered to celebrate Maeve. I gave myself the title of Sovereign and some of my closest friends who help me with Maeve have titles also. I set up some of my castles that I had built for rent and tenants came...I set a Market in the sky where I could sell my castles and customers came. And today I still build and have grown so much but still learn every day something new. In my real life, I enjoy creating things...but you do not have to be creative with things to enjoy Second Life...You could simply be an explorer...or if you have a good imagination, you could be a role player. There are many roles in Second Life and special sims you can play these roles in. You could own a sim and set it up specifically for role playing....like medevil, elfin, scifi, bondage, vampire...I would run out of room here if I went on...I chose to create the castles for people to role play in...and essentially, I am a role player also...as I am Sovereign of Maeve....smiles...
There are many skills you can learn here in Second Life and classes you can take....you could be a sculptor, a scripter (scripts make things happen!!)...You could be an avatar creator...a clothing creator....we love our beautiful clothing in Second Life!!!...OOO you could be a weapons creator...There are special sims where you can do battle with others....hahah I am best as a target I learned...but still it is fun!!!
