Mk Velinov, my main account now, is technically an alt - or maybe a replacement. I've had this account for 13 years, but I've been on SL for even longer than that. Before this account, (who sadly was made just after they did away with legacy names so the account is just ehmkay.resident) I had another account, with the last name Velinov. It was one of the OG legacy names but in my entire time on SL I've only ever actually encountered ONE other person with the name Velinov. These days they occasionally let you buy a new last name and I'm really hoping that one day the planets will align and I'll be able to make ehmkay resident into Mk Velinov for real.
That account, which I'm still iffy about admitting to full the identity - maybe some day lol - was used primarily for role playing. I'd spent years in a few different forum-based rp games so that's where I naturally gravitated to when I came into SL. I eventually found myself in a little college themed rp that was very sexual at its core but there were almost always people there just hanging out and there was plenty of "normal' rp happening, and I found a balance there that I struggled to find in most other RPs at the time - giving me enough to work with without demanding ridiculously long paragraphs. - Like babe, I don't need 700 words about your character's inner thoughts because my character is not a mind reader. Tell me what you're *doing.*
I made some friends there, one of whom I still chat with when I occasionally log on to the old account that is now my alt. But like almost all things, that RP fell apart and we all scattered to the winds. The closest I could find to the kind of vibe I was looking for after that came in the form of a small town type rp. It was rated M so families could be there, and more adult content could still happen as long as it wasn't in local. It was perfect. And that's where I met Amy. Amy is the first SL friend I crossed the RL line with. And I suppose the only one, now that I'm open about who Mk Velinov is behind the avatar.

Without going into details that would reveal my former identity (as if anyone cares lol) the story I started in that college game continued in that small town game and Amy and that other previously mentioned friend and I continued the story on our own even when that game died too. I joked for years that I was going to turn our silly soap opera into a series of smutty kindle crack, and while I may not do that, I do still entertain the idea of softening it up a bit and turning it into a romance novel or two. Maybe make it part of the universe all my other WIPs exist in... someday...
After closely studying the few pictures I have from that era (I really really wish I'd photographed more of my early years in world) I decided that of the 5 heads I have to choose from, Majer was closest to the average of those looks. I used to tweak my face a lot before mesh heads because I could never make it look *right*
So here she is in the hanger. And while I was decorating, I found this pin board from Status Inc and it has five pictures on it, so I decided to use it to display the most recent photo for each head, and then, just to make sure I don't confuse myself, I used these fridge magnets from Spruce to label each one.
