Bio: Within Korr Avana in Odyssey of Fantasy, she is an seemingly ordinary six year old looking girl in the Sovereign Union of Yerkoskei. Who exactly is her player and what is her story? Ah, that is but one of many great mysterious tales to weave in this virtual world...a mystery to untangle whose truth is so grand...it could shake the very foundations of virtual and reality...

Bio:

Sofie graduated university with a degree in Computer Sciences, but the competition for jobs in her field after graduation was immense and she often found herself missing out on roles she was desperate to work in. In order to remain financially stable, She took a job at her local town hall as an administrator, with a view of only being in this job a short time as she continued to pursue her dream career, but alas, she is still in this job 7 years later, being told her skills are now apparently "out of date" and no longer able to apply to graduate programs due to her age. She continues to work hard to serve the people of her town, happy to at least have a job and financial stability.

Outside of her office and her work she still has great passion for computers, video games and technology. She has an online blog in which she creates video essays/reviews on video games and their hardware, from Retro (One of her most prized possessions is a near mint in box Super Nintendo Entertainment System from 1992) to the modern day. She uses games as a way to decompress, relax, and allow her imagination to run free, as well as as a way to escape the humdrum of her daily life, at least for a few hours a day

When news of the release of the Hermes System and Odyssey of Fantasy became public, she didn't hesitate to sign up for one, looking forward to experiencing this new cutting edge gaming system. She couldn't quite believe it when a courier knocked on her door with the Hermes System, and she is very much looking forward to jumping into Odyssey of Fantasy for both fun, and for research for fresh content for her Blog.

State of the World in 2047



~From the Beginning Post~

"Corporate greed and utter lack of morals has continued to descend to levels thought impossible. Think I’m joking? The United States Senate actually debated on a law a couple years ago that would allow families in financial distress to sell their children to companies, something the morally bankrupt institutions lobbied heavily for.

It only failed by a 53-47 vote.

In the United Kingdom, the same thing was debated on about seven months later and narrowly lost within the House of Commons 41-59.

For whomever is listening, let that sink in for a moment.

Adolescents all the way up to those in their forties have been flocking to video games at an increasingly alarming rate. While fun, the trends have reached an unhealthy level globally, not just in certain areas. It is projected now that from the ages of 13 to 48, the average individual spends 42% of their time on gaming. A drastically plummeting percentage has interest in social entanglements. This was spurred on by the Coronavirus Pandemic of the early 2020s.

Unemployment, as a global average, was at 9.12% An almost full 4% increase from just twenty-seven years ago.

Countries and nations across the world that have suffered great injustices and terrible afflictions only seem to continue doing so. The more affluent superpowers barely pay any lip service to aiding them anymore.

The climate crisis has raged with the world finally coming to focus on that one issue at last…but it seems none of the leading people currently have any idea what to do about it. Many have despaired that humanity has finally waited too long and the point of no return has been crossed.

The media tries not to talk it about much.

Sports and Acting industries continue as popular as they ever are, but from the reports that social media and elusive reporters like to still leak out at every possibility…are far more cutthroat than ever before. Cheating in sports is at an all time high. The mainstream news state it is at an all time low.

I’ll let you decide who is lying.

E-Sports is now completely at the same level as any popular team or individual sport all over the world, by the way. Winning local GC (Gaming Community) tournaments is a sure way to start getting noticed. But like the rest of the sports…it’s a rough road for those souls who have no idea what lies ahead.

University attendance seems to be dipping noticeably now as well. Nothing too bad yet, but the signs are worrisome. It’s a common occurrence for students to attempt to become online streaming personalities to help their stress and fund their tuitions. Yeah, that’s only become even more common. Most fail at it miserably and are left with stress so great, they flame out way before they should.

Divorce rates also seem to be in constant flux, though not trending in the right direction, because of all of the ever-present stress in the world. Experts predict marriages will start dipping into a steady decline if things keep going the way they are.

The ever expected and fantasized World War 3? Thankfully hasn’t happened yet. But trust me, that doesn’t stop humanity from finding smaller wars to make up for it. Conflicts are raging out of control at sporadic moments in all corners of the globe. The various new Mobile Armor branches of national militaries was only adding to the intensity of combat rather than pacifying them. A big war is never far out of the realm of possibility at this stage.

Civil unrest has reached unprecedented levels in the UK, the USA, even Canada. You don’t even want to see what Greece is like. Let’s not even talk about the Middle East. Yeah, that hasn’t exactly resolved either.

And poor Mexico. …Wait. What Mexico? That was cut up into three new nations after all of the cartel fighting finally spiraled into true civil war that essentially destroyed the country. All three now sit on thrones of ash if you ask the majority of the world’s population. The northernmost part of what once was proud Mexico is considering ceding itself to the United States out of desperation. The American Congress is split on what to do about it.

Oh yeah. There was that catastrophic nuclear incident in India too.

Mars and Moon colonization efforts? Do me a favor, let us not go there. You really don’t want to know."
