I knew exactly how I wanted to look as soon as I joined SL. All I have done over the 15 months is make minor adjustments so I get nearer to that look I've always wanted. At the very beginning I selected the 'girl next door' avatar and made small tweaks to get a trimmer, more athletic figure. I used the CS Malibu free skin at first but for a long time now I've had another CS skin with darker, more defined eyebrows. I have always had long, straight brown hair that I wear in one of three ways - loose flexi, ponytail flexi or a tight bun at the back. I did my own hairstyles.
My av is consistent, only changing clothes and hairstyles. The only exception is a green shiny plastic bear costume I wear occasionally. But it's still me inside, dressed in my undies and feeling very hot and stuffy.
There is an alt employed by my RL, just a boring testbot which I think takes the form of a silver ball of about 1 metre diameter.
I have seen other avs that look a bit like me as I'm not unusual looking, but I've never met anyone who looks like a twin of me.
