Allow Me To Introduce Myselves This an explanation of my fictional selves, but I think to be a good explanation I need to tell you a bit about my real self. When I first got online I hadn't written anything in sometime and I had never heard the term fanfic before, though I had written a few pieces of it. I was reluctant to get back into writing. Even more reluctant to get into writing fanfic. A friend had an idea how to get me over my reluctance. She started the first fictional version of me in a sort of round robin role playing game. The game was on the now closed Rysher board for Highlander: The Series.
The first fictional version of me, when she was first born, was Marcus Constantine's archangel, and a guardian angel of Methos. That's why all the pictures of her have feathered wings instead of leathery ones. Though I'll let you in on a little secret: those wings may be feathered but they are goddess wings. They're from the anime series Oh My Goddess. That version of me has evolved from her "simple" beginning. Now she is Rebecca Arwen Drake The Dragon Goddess. She's the character I'm talking about on my front page. Everything there is true of her, and much more.
The second fictional version of me wasn't created by me either. Oh, I am more responsible for her existence than I was for the Dragon Goddess's. I asked K'Immielvr to give me Phileas Fogg for my birthday. I'd been trying to write him, and having no luck. K'Immielvr did just what I asked her to. She wrote a little piece of fanfic for me placing Phileas on my front doorstep. That was the birth of Rebecca Elizabeth Drake. I could have kept her perfectly human I suppose. I didn't make her much more than human. She's a mage. A mere mortal woman that can do magic.
The third fictional version of me I created. Well, perhaps with some help from what I ate before I went to bed that night. I had a very vivid dream of myself as a dragon who could change her shape from human to weredragon/gargoyle to full fire breathing dragon. She is Rebecca Belinda Drake. I couldn't just leave her behind when I woke from the dream because the story, and the other characters in it were too good to let go. That, and I had more dreams of being Belinda with John Grant. The dragon is a magical creature, but she can't do all of the magic the mage can, and she isn't indestructible.
