Virtual Aristasia
A guide to meeting Aristasians in a Virtual Universe.
For a long time it has been argued that there are three Aristasias: Aristasia Pura, Aristasia-in-Telluria and Aristasia-in-Elektraspace. For years there has been an Aristasian presence online, and some pettes have participated in Aristasia solely through the medium of Elektraspace.
There has also been a continuing Aristasian interest in the creation of a virtual world: a world in which girls can talk and move, take tea with each other, play games, attend classes all while being physically separated by perhaps thousands of miles.
Advantages of a Virtual Aristasia - other than the fact that it helps with our geographical scatteredness - are the fact that it can be a mirror of Aristasia Pura. Blondes can really be fair-haired and brunettes really dark-haired (not that that matters a bit in real life, but it is rather cute to have it "proper" in Virtualia). We can look just as we want to look - our appearance can match our personae. It also allows all sorts of fantastical things to happen.
There have been lots of Aristasian speculations about virtual reality - 3D rooms existing "holographically" all around us - perhaps created by a headset. Aristasian friends all about us, taking whatever shape they please - anime princesses, Trentish film stars, Quirrie teens. The days of full virtual reality are undoubtedly a way off, but the first steps are available to us now, and Aristasians are beginning to take them. Your Aristasian Avatar will be a fully-animated 3D model under your in-world control - fair or dark haired according to whether your personality is blonde or brunette.
Our first venture has taken place in a Virtual Universe known as Second Life. A vast world with many territories, properties, modern buildings, castles, casinos, shops - people run whole businesses within Second Life. Aristasians, of course, regard it as a territory for creating Aristasian reality.
At present, in automobile terms, we are at the Tin Lizzie stage of Virtuality. The full-surround worlds we shall eventually be able to inhabit are in the future. But the future begins here. This is the ideal place to meet other Aristasians in a fully visual environment. Becoming a White Rose involves no commitment to Aristasia - you are just expected to fit in with Aristasian ways while you are actually among us. If you want to experience Aristasia, this is the place to be!
