The avatar of yourself is accurate to every last detail - it may not be perfect, but you've never been one of these people desperate to become somebody they're not in VR, always comfortable in your own skin. You speak, "accept" and the option flashes for a second before the command interface appears in your vision, words scrolling down it unbidden.

-forever-
-and ever-
-and ever :) -
