DRAKE BACON is the Second Life version of WolfSkunk "STriker" RedWolf, a known odd fur in anthropomorphic circles. Bacon came to the grid when Second Life released a Linux version, and kept a presence here ever since. Drake hopes to be like Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago SunTimes in a part-time fashion. If she's online, you may find her at her bar in Furnation Vista called Shotgun Shells.

Markos Binder

Don't let his age fool you, 'Markos' has been in SL since beta, and for reasons even he isn't sure of, is still there.

A builder, scripter, roleplayer, and parasitic twin, he makes his way haphazardly through Second Life the same way he does his first:  In fits and starts, and with little planning or skill.
