Lauren Gladstone
Second Life Name: Lauren Gladstone
Aliases: Psycho-bitch, Lala, Ami, or Ms. Gladstone if you’re nasty.
Age: Old enough to know better, too young to care.
Location: Middle of Nowhere - a.k.a. Indiana
Faction Affiliates: AVALANCHE Faction Leader, ShinRa Department of Legal Affairs
Character(s) Played: Dr. Kimi Starr, Tempest, “Tes” (last name pending), various RE NPCs, and nearly the entire Discordian civilization.
Real Life: Clinical Psychologist with a specialization in anger management and gender identity disorders. Received my undergraduate and graduate level degrees from Purdue University (the only school cool enough to have a drink named after it’s mascot…or vice versa!) I have a penchant for vodka, sake, and anything cherry flavored, as well as the anime series Macross, Evangelion and certain obscure titles that no one has ever heard of.
Aside from that, I’ve been roleplaying since I was 7 when I picked up my first set of dice and D&D book wondering just what the hell I had gotten my group of friends and I into. Of course, the hobby wasn’t approved of by my parents at the time given their strict baptist upbringing… needless to say, it became more of a closet hobby than anything. After graduating high-school, I joined the Camarilla (White-Wolf’s international, sanctioned roleplaying association) and ascended to the level of Domain Coordinator and Venue Assistant Storyteller for the Vampire the Masquerade and Vampire the Requiem venues. I met my soul-mate, Azzy Watanabe during college, and we have been together ever since. (Yes, that means I’m a lesbian/bi-sexual… no big deal.)
The Character I’m most similar too: Dr. Kimi Starr… too abrupt and brainy for her own good.
