The hardy, tough pioneers go out and bring back a fortune in gold, only to gamble and whore it away until all the money is firmly in the hands of the entrepreneurs that follow along more sedately."James Carter, head host of 'Inside Second,' the news and advice show dedicated to the players of the Second World VR game, is a well-known icon in modern society.  Between billboard space, ad-spots, and the show itself, it's hard to be a part of popular culture and not have at least heard of him somehow.Carter started off as the host of a one-hour segment on a generic gaming-news channel, called 'Mr. Wizard's advice hour,' where he took calls from people seeking advice on how to get ahead in the competitive world of gaming.  While he was never the best gamer, James knew that the technical skills were only a small part of making it big in this life, and so while others spent their hours working out how to squeeze that extra 0.1% dodge chance out of an old build, he socialized, meeting the corporate bigwigs who ran the games themselves.His big chance came when he was contacted by the corporation that created the new VR game that was sweeping the richest segment of the market.  They explained that they were looking to start a new show covering news only about their game, 24-7.  Carter jumped at the opportunity and took off from his old job, bringing along a few other forwards-thinking hosts who saw this as a place to strike it rich.The new show took off in mere weeks, backed by the substantial marketing power of the company and fueled by the popularity of Carter's old show.  Withing a month it was topping ratings charts, and now Carter lives the life of a celebrity.  He knows his good luck can't last forever, but he's got enough stashed away to stay comfortable even if Second World folds, and so he's determined to enjoy life while it's good.To keep his hand in and stay current, James plays regularly, and does a pretty good job of it.  After all, he does do this sort of thing for a living.[/sblock][sblock=XxXDethbringrXxX, Orcish Powergamer]Male Orc Wolf Barbarian 2/Fighter 1Alignment: CNStr: 22 (+6) [13 points, +1 from level, +4 racial] Dex:
