Quando eu era moleque boa parte das pauocs pessoas que eu conhecia nc3a3o vivia alc3a9m de dez ruas, cinco quarteirc3b5es e dois bairros alc3a9m de onde eu morava. A todas eu conhecia pelos nomes e frequentava suas casas. Eram no mc3a1ximo 40, 50 pessoas. Estou falando da c3a9poca do rc3a1dio de pilha, da TV a vc3a1lvulas, dos aparelhos de som hi-fi monaural e das cc3a2meras fotogrc3a1ficas que estavam mais para cc3a2meras do que para fotogrc3a1ficas, tal suas dimensc3b5es e limitados recursos. Coisas que boa parte de vocc3aas jamais viram, sequer em fotos.Pois bem, a maioria dessas pessoas nc3a3o eram escolhidas, iam surgindo na minha vida ocasionalmente, na escola, na rua, no prc3a9dio ou no clube. Formc3a1vamos turmas nas quais alguns tornaram-se e2809camigos para sempree2809d, outros passaram pela vida como os carros e os bondes que trafegavam pela rua defronte de onde nos reunc3adamos, levamndo e trazendo anc3b4nimos de passagem.Passadas algumas boas dc3a9cadas o mundo mudou, evoluiu tc3a3o radicalmente quanto cresceram os horizontes e as possibilidades de conhecermos gente: o modo virtual c3a9 sem dc3bavidas o mais espantoso, e atc3a9 bem pouco tempo, impensc3a1vel. A maioria das pessoas hoje conhece ou jc3a1 ouviu falar de alguc3a9m que conhece e2809calguc3a9m que nc3a3o conhecee2809d pela Internet. A cada dia isso torna-se mais uma realidade do mundo moderno tc3a3o natural quanto era termos um vizinho chato na porta ao lado para tornar-se algo plenamente natural e muito mais distante do que um e2809cdesvio de condutae2809d como querem alguns.Jc3a1 li muita besteira na prc3b3pria Internet acerca de conhecimentos virtuais: e2809cJamais iremos criar uma sociedade de unic3a3o universal como pregam os social-internautas. Somente aumentaremos a intolerc3a2ncia, a falta de compreensc3a3o, compaixc3a3o e humildade local. Aumentaremos tambc3a9m a arrogc3a2ncia, com a auto-alimentac3a7c3a3o de grupos que terminarc3a3o se achando donos da verdade.e2809d (Stephen Kanitz, publicado na Revista Veja, Editora Abril, edic3a7c3a3o 1690, ano 34, no 9 de 7 de marc3a7o de 2001, pc3a1gina 22. )No ano passado tive o privilc3a9gio de conhecer pessoalmente gente c3a0s quais fui apresentado virtualmente atravc3a9s do Blog Viagem na Viagem do Riq: o prc3b3prio Ricardo Freire (com quem provavelmente eu teria assuntos para conversar por 24 horas ininterruptas, mas foram apenas uns trinta, quarenta minutos), o Ernesto e sua esposa, o Jorge Bernardes e suas duas mulheres, o Bruno Vilac3a7a e o Rodrigo Purisch. Ontem tive esse privilc3a9gio renovado e ampliado: conheci a Sylvia e o Mc3a1rio, a Majc3b4, a Flc3a1via Penido, a c382ngela Bruno, a Meilin, a Paula o Fred (com as fofas Gabi e Malu), a Cristina e o Arthur.Para mim, estejam TODOS certos, foi muito mais do que um prazer, um privilc3a9gio: gostei de cada segundo passado com todos vocc3aas e sem dc3bavidas gostaria de vc3aa-los a todos novamente muitas e muitas vezes. Todos, sem excec3a7c3a3o, do Riq c3a0s gatinhas da Paula, estejam certos, quer queiram, quer nc3a3o, arrumaram dois amigos de cc3a1 a quem cativaram e esperamos que mantenham enternamente!Um grande abrac3a7o e um carinhoso beijo a todos!

Character Information
Description
Meilin is tall, athletic, and very slender, in possession of a figure rarely seen outside of professional fashion models. The purity of her blood is obvious for all to see: her skin is pale as ice and her footstep is as soft and light as the fog. Meilin’s hair is long, blue, and very fine, and its long strands crackle with sharp blue sparks almost constantly. When she lived a normal life with her husband on their RPC, she usually wore practical boots, trousers and shirt, if of an unusually tight and flattering cut. Now that her situation has changed, she has collected a wardrobe of some of Meru’s latest fashions that she wears with equally unflappable aplomb. When the mission calls for it, she dons a suit of all-encompassing matte black armor and wields a sharpened chain of midnight jade to devastating effect.
Personality
The Izumi Meilin that most people know is a witty, charming woman- an intelligent but bored overseer and a devoted wife and mother. This is true, but it is not all that she is. When she has no pretenses to make, Meilin truly comes to life as an almost unbearably suave socialite who could steal a torrid kiss or the daiklave from your very hand with equal ease. She is fearless in the face of danger- perhaps too much so, and she sometimes puts herself at unnecessary risk simply for the sake of a marginally higher payoff.
Despite her personal magnetism, Meilin finds it easy to blend into any crowd, whether she is in the company of the greatest politicians or the lowest of dockside scum. On a day-to-day basis, Meilin clearly enjoys the finer things in life- especially martinis - though always in careful moderation. She is also very tender and caring with her loved ones, to her own surprise as much as anyone else’s. Though beautiful lies grace her lips more often than the scarlet lipstick she applies every morning, she is capable of incredible sincerity when necessary.
A character in the PbP game Lady Raiton.
