"[color=orchid][i][b]Twll dy din di! Twll ti![/b][/i][/color]" Alys widened her eyes and her jaw dropped wide open as the perspective change swept her up with a case of vertigo. Her knees began to shake, chills ran down her spine- and then the sudden realization that none of this was real brought them back to reality.

It wasn't but moments ago that she was sitting in her comfortable [[i]Elite MadLabX[/i]] gaming chair before initializing the game and full-diving her consciousness into the device willingly. The interface was swift- the comfort was second to none- and this startup experience was nothing like Alys had ever seen before. Her heart began to race so much that she began to think that maybe this would be the moment that her high-sodium diet finally caught up to her, and even if it did she twisted that thought into some strange delusion about her consciousness being permanently stuck in this new world. And her feet hadn't even touched the ground yet.

But that didn't matter right now. In this moment, she was away from the world and its infinite problems- Alys traded them all away for the challenges that awaited her here in Cacophony Concord. Why not fully immerse herself?

“[i][b]Quite a sight, no?[/b][/i]” A midnight owl donning some fancy-shmancy glasses asked, his question caught the girl completely by surprise- his appearance probably should have given her some form of fright.

"[color=orchid][i][b]Fuck all, you're an interesting 'un.[/b][/i][/color]" Alys accent was truly here in all of its flowery glory, the grown woman glanced the creature over with the utmost fascination. 

The large spectacle of an avian creature calmly maintained his composure in response to the woman's comment. The creature leaned in for a moment- its plumage rustling as the monstrous head grew closer to Alys to take a closer look. The bright eyes of the owl widened, Alys widened her own as well- it was as if two beings of pure curiosity had just crossed paths. But the guide character would soon break the silence as its voice boomed in the void they stood in once again. “[i][b]Welcome to Cacophony Concord, I am the 4th Administrative Function, Minerva, in charge of welcoming new players and assisting them through the character creation process.[/b][/i]”

A screen manifested out of thin air right in front of Alys, equipped with countless sliders and customization options galore- all of which stood next to a stark naked model of her fully scanned self. Alys let out an incomprehensible noise, something like a grunt or perhaps a screech- the sound came from the back of her throat and it seemed to escape without her knowing. Her face loomed closer to the screen as she carefully examined every single detail. It's safe to say that this was an overwhelming amount of options to Alys, but that state of being overwhelmed was fully and happily welcomes.

“[i][b]You may alter your current form however you wish, or we may approximate a model for you based off an image you can upload here. Changes made can be experienced via the ‘Trial’ button, but as a precaution, note that grossly warping your physical form for the purposes of ‘living a meme dream’ may cause intense psychological discomfort afterwards.[/b][/i]”

The woman's eyes briefly peeled from the customization screen multiple times. The first was at the mention of uploading an image, the second was when the trial button was mentioned, and the last was when the meme dream comment was made. An unladylike chuckle escaped her lungs as her glance returned to the menu, shaking her head at the enjoyable personality this [Administrator] had. Alys slowly guided her hand to the image uploader- and thanked all god she had recently paid an artist she found on Instragram to draw a few renditions of her MMO character. [color=orchid][CalaceFull.jpeg][/color] was selected and quickly the sliders began to adjust themselves to formfit her naked body into the pasty, lavender-haired midget that now appeared.

“[i][b]User Experience options can be altered in-game, but note that once you have selected your appearance and allotted your starting attributes, those are permanently set in place, and can only be altered in…a realistic fashion.[/b][/i]” This bit of information greatly peaked the curiosity of Alys. There was also these gameplay related options like pain realism, the style of the action combat, nudity- this game was really hardcore. She bit her lip and felt the slightest bit of pressure. Her arm extended with a hand open to select her options, realism was important for everything, maybe not the graphics- she nonchalantly selected the anime option and moved on to the important stuff. Gore was selected to be turned [on], Pain was set to [100%], Clothing Damage was set to be [on], Nudity Censor was turned [off], Combat Action & Spell Incantations were both set to be [on].

[hider=Appearance][table][row][/row][row][cell]  There was no shortage of whimsically designed characters spawned from the cerebral cortex of lonely, bored, players who sought the sweet release from their normal monotonous lives here in Cacophony Concord. Towering well-endowed elf girls in skimpy armor, edgy thieves duel wielding swords in black coats, it wasn't a new idea to create one's ideal silhouette to project upon but Cacophony Concord sure did have quite a selection of options. Alys was no different than the rest with that power when she birthed the newest iteration of her coveted character, Calace.     
The player's avatar stood at the converted height of approximately four feet and five inches. Her skin was deathly pale as if she had never allowed herself to meet the sun, the irises within her big bright baubles hued an unnatural purple shade that seemed to stare longingly at every creature that dared enter her vision. Her hair seemed to have once been purple or maybe a shade of pink- but had long dulled and muted to a white with very trace amounts of lavender weaved in between each lock of hair.    
Her hair also seemed to be both messy in some aspects, while being neat in others? It was brushed and maintained with no split ends- but all the while the length of her bangs and along her back was uneven as if it hadn't been cut in a long-long time. But the most distinguishing thing about her hair would be the four long braids, two along the sides of her head and the other pair hanging behind them.

“[i][b]That is all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Otherwise, enjoy your character creation.[/b][/i]” Minerva's concluding words were almost dismissive.

Alys widened her eyes and canted her head left and right as she looked at the administrative bird of dark and edginess. She felt that they were kindred spirits- even if he was some programmed NPC, or if he wasn't. Both of her fingers snapped together before aiming finger guns at the enormous owl and winked a single eye, playfully. "[color=orchid][i][b]Can ya' alter ma' speech so m'not sounding absolutely bollocks? I'd like Calace ta' sound prim and proper if ya' could.[/b][/i][/color]" Alys brazenly stared straight at the admin owl, gesturing at the character in a number of ways- some bumps into the air with her elbow, more finger guns, all before placing her hands on her hips awaiting the all-mighty-being's response.
