As a new player to Second Life, it can be hard to know where to get started. You start with a chosen default avatar. I chose the Goth type:
But it didn't really reflect my personality, so I went on a freebie shopping spree.
Freebies are items in Second Life that are, well, free. There are dedicated stores which house freebies, and many commercial stores will offer a freebie as a promotion. I typed freebie into the search window and went shopping. The result I ended up with was:
Much better. I cherry picked items from the different freebies available, a shape from one freebie, a skin from another, until I ended up with an avatar I was happy with. All without spending any Linden Dollars (which is in world currency)
I guess over time my avatar will evolve, but its not bad for a first attempt.
