Now this is a new one: roleplaying as early 20th century plutocrats. Reallife Orca is a 15 year old member of Teen Second Life, and says he was inspired to create his avatar by "my friends, who always roleplay as ole chaps." He created the gray skin (the better to blend into black and white photographs of the era), "and created a tophat, monocle, and bubble pipe. I had a friend make a cane for me to crack at young whippersnappers."
Despite his evident wealth, Mr. Orca continues, "He's a modest guy who likes to get into quivils. He loves politics and his lady back home, Betty.
"I took this pick with a few of my ole' gaffers in Mecca. I like the avatar, because it's fun to wear. People often 'Lol' or '?'." He was also inspired, he adds, "by a story I wrote in English class called 'The Eventful Tea Party'."
