We would like to introduce you to six new acquaintances. Whether or not they're worthy of friendship, well, that's up to you. They are six people like and unlike all of us. The struggle with the images of happiness, of love, of social superiority and inferiority. Some play by the rules and some make a rule of never staying within the lines. The one constant among the six is that they are all about to discover that nothing is forever and sometimes having nothing is better than having everything. Their stories, individually and as a group, have been captured by Depth.

Andrea, James, Ty, Ally, Topper and Hope don't live only within the pages of Depth. Their stories are carried on in personal journals here on Depth Online. Throughout the next several months, their homes, offices, hideouts and more will start to appear around Second Life.

Join us as we visit their present, their past and what's to come in their futures.

art throbs

Second Life is replete with opportunities that one wouldn't be able to experience in "real life" but there's no denying that the crux of its success is human interaction. Be it a coordinated meeting through a business opportunity, an introduction to a friend-of-a-friend or an entirely chance encounter, the opportunities to meet someone whose path you probably would never have the chance to cross otherwise are vast. It was a late-night wandering through a visually mesmerizing art display that offered one of those chance opportunities to meet Strawberry Holiday. A wrong turn in one of her expansive three dimensional art exhibits resulted in her shouting a greeting. Anyone who's had the chance to meet Strawberry knows that her strong, vibrant personality dominates and one just knows he's in the presence of, well, greatness. Meet Strawberry in art throbs.

expanse

Vry Offcourse's endurance in detail work has been her greatest virtue for as long as she can remember. She says that it's the skill of patience combined with artistic talent that results in some of the greatest revered art work. And that skill is something she admires, namely in Soto Zen monks and especially Shunryu Suzuki Roshi.

Wondering where you might find this talented builder? She was born and still resides in San Francisco, CA but unless you have some of that aforementioned patience, it would be easier to track her down in Second Life and we tell you how, and why you should, in expanse.

andrea

One of those women who looks unnaturally perfect all the time. A product of the best family and the best education, she's in her mid 30's now and continuing to live the picture perfect life. She's never wanted for anything - or has she?

james

Precise with his appearance, his business, his wife and his attempts at cutting loose. He's yet to learn that everything in its place isn't always enough. But with his money and his lifestyle, it's hard to believe he'll learn otherwise.

tyler

He'll never tell you what the "X" stands for. He does, however, use its mystery to its full capacity as a signature line on his art. Have you ever met someone that is good at, well, everything? That's Ty. Never had to try hard, and never had a reason.

ally

She came to New York with big dreams, and soon realized that everyone does. She isn't a victim of circumstance, she's a victim of poor choices. Someday, she'll figure out who's making those choices.

topper

Most people get this jaded after seeing the amount of taxes taken out of their first paycheck, but this is different. He didn't grow up poor (by any definition), but for some reason, he's never played on the right side of the line - or the law.

hope

She hates stereotypes and will do anything to avoid being one. The former small town daddy's girl has a keen ability to see things for what they really are - good and bad. The cautious risk taker has an instinct sharper than any weapon could ever be.
