Not Psi, Psy, Ski, Si or Sigh. I am not a unit of pressure, the prefix of a mental condition, winter sports equipment, short for "Simon" or an expression of impatience.
Though at least four of the five get the pronounciation right.
Sci as in "Science", "Sci-Fi" or "Scientist". Sci, the general scienific prefix.

   Most websites have a little personal bio section, so you can get an idea of the person or people behind it. Frankly, I'd prefer if you judge me by the content than just this one page, but I'll still try and give you a bit of a background.
I was born in early 1981, and I currently live in the upper east corner of London, the capital of England and the UK.
I'm generally a cheerfull optomist. I try and tell myself I'm a masochistic pesimist, who likes being proven wrong though. I strongly stand behind something my mother once told me.

   I'm trying not to let them, and it seems to me that the best way to is to encourage personal strength through personal growth. On that end, I try and be realistic about my own skills, without being overly derogatory. On this line of though, you make things like yours own Character Sheet, to better analysise your strengths and weaknesses objectively.
I like to tinker. I enjoy conceptual design, and improving the design of things around me, even if they will never be used. I enjoy cooking and trying new meals when I get the chance.
And I feel like I'm creating a very bold image of myself.
On the line between good and bad traits, I'm very introspective. Allways wondering on my own psychological and instinctual motivations. And those of others. I like to recycle and reuse, but also to hoard. Something I'm trying to cull.

   I enjoy writing and drawing when I'm able, and more recently have gotten into multimedia. I'm hoping my skills will improve as I work with it all more.
I try to be a good friend to others, but also aware of the larger picture, seeing both sides and trying to resolve conflicts. I'm not the one to say how good or not I may be at this.

   I'm alergic to biological washing powders, and hate the taste of glacé cherrys, liquorice, marizipan other almond flavoured items. I quite like real almonds though.

   I have a deep fascination and lust for outer space. One day we'll get there, hopefully as a united planet. The concepts of civil engineering and planned societys also fascinates me. I'm still working on it, but I like to think I've figured out the definitive way some parts of a persistant society should be.

   I first came online way back when I college doing Advanced Engineering GNVQ, in 1997. Soon I will have been online for a decade (aprox. August 2007), an will be most officially Old School, though not as much at the Really Old School who must have had to carve 1s and 0s in solid slabs of silicon, and throw them as hard as they could to each-other.

   When I first came online, I fell in with the Animal Lifestyler crowd, the more intelectual/spiritual end of the Furry Fandom, which well suited both my introspective nature, imagination and desire to carry on enjoying some of the sillier things I'd loved in my childhood.
I went through a breif period being known as 'Surreal Pete', which serves as a warning on self deprication and bad spelling. About a fortnight later, I redubbed myself 'SciFox', being as how I liked foxes and I liked sci-fi and science. Over the years of mostly meeting and socialising with people through and from the internet, it's both been shortened to simply “Sci” and become more used than my given name. I rather like that.
Sci is me, but is also my Avatar. The skin I speak through online.
As you'll know if you do much online other than shop or browse sites, there is a huge amount of background-level roleplay that goes on on the internet. On forums, mailing lists, chat systems and messengers. If you refer to yourself in third person just once, you're doing it. You begin to write for yourself as if you're in a story. Some people do this more than others. Some write for themselves, some will embelish their real self some, some will even come up with an idealised version of themselves. In my case, it's closest to the latter. I really like the look I have with Sci, but the main point was that his personality is allways much closer to what I want to be than that I am. It wasn't intentional, but Sci has given me a way to change my real self by adapting into new manerisms and such. The fact that alterations to Sci as a character and how I am in person have become less and less seperate, makes me happy. I'm happier with myself.

   Isn't the internet wonderfull?

   With the more intense background roleplay in the fantasy end of the internet, Sci has a well defined physical setup. Some people are vague and flexible with their character descriptions, and to a degree I am as well. But I've been talking through Sci and writing him in his own and collaborative fictions for over 9 years now. He has a face, an animal mirror of my own. Steadily more 'realisic' as the years go by. Sci Starborne (yes, he even picked up his own surname after a while, thanks to a very long-running writing group), age changes as mine does. About the same height as me, if you don't count the ears, and a tounge he can stick out at you a clear 4 inches further than I can. A standard red-fox, with a cross-phase patternation. That means all what would be white fur, is black.
He's still perhaps a bit more outspoken than I am, but he's teaching me well, as are others now too. It pays to hang around the right people. He's certainly more flirtacious, but we're working on that one too.

   It's probably not a bad thing to slip into a character sometimes. At least they say it's good for your health.

   Innuendo asside, I'm a creative, generaly straight male, with an eye for detail and beautey in all things. I also suspect I ramble on more than I should. If you want to know more about Sci as my avatar character, go look at his own profile page. I may also be slightly dyslexic, but I'm generally good at catching my wurst mistakes.

   I may not have achieved balance in my life yet, but I'm not totally unbalanced. Not yet.
