Short answer. I'm sure someone will be willing to fill in the details.
VIIOR is 'Virtue Is Its Own Reward', a sort of meta-story angle conceived by Foxboy. Various people have chipped in to write bits pertaining to their
own characters. The gist of it is, at such-and-such a date (I forget, somewhen in January 2007 I think), everyone logged into Virtue server at a particular
hour...
...got merged with the character they were playing at the time. In the real world, I mean. With unpredictable results; some folks have ended up essentially
as themselves, just in a new spandex-clad body (which would include every player who doesn't RP). Others have been completely buried by their RP persona,
as CrimsonKMR did with Corrupted Flame. I will note, in particular, Foxboy wrote a piece establishing that Ghost Widow made the transition as well -
initially this was cast as a particular fictional GM, though we later amended that when it became known Ghost Widow is played on the servers by the actual
developer that bears her name.
So it's at once a way of taking a CoH character into the real world, talking about how a confused real world analogue needs to deal with all these crazy
supers suddenly popping up from nowhere, and perhaps a little of crisis trauma and how you are relating to the situation. There's sort of a
quasi-insert dynamic there, of course.
Here is the link to the thread.
Having that Wiki would be really nice... might actually make me learn wiki programming -_- If we get that up, we should show it to Ex Libris and Lighthouse.
They seem to like that thing
There is no coincidence, only necessity....
