Onyx Plutonian's Page

Before emigrating to this realm I was a Professor in the Almost Certainly True History Department of Transylvania Polygnostic University in Europa Wulfenbach. My field of specialty is Religions and Esoteric Faith Systems. I was fairly well known in academic circles. I had written biographies of 5 of the 7 popes. The remaining two excommunicated me before I could get an audience with them.

In retrospect, I may have been a little too exuberant in my field research. My last great project was to recreate a lost Babylonian rite, an invocation of one of the lesser Anunnaki. Unfortunately, my pronunciation of ancient Chaldean must have been off and I instead summoned a rather nasty asura. I admit that I panicked. Instead of the banishment I had intended I intoned a binding that fused the spirit's essence with my own. Initially the only physical manifestation of this was a set of horns upon my head. This has now progressed to a full therian transformation, giving me the appearance and many characteristics of an anthromorphic white tiger. I rather like the result.

The Dean and Board of Governors took a dim view of the incident. Perhaps it was because I used my research assistants as acolytes and undergrads for sacrifical victims. In any case, they recommended I take my research abroad, an extended sabbatical they called it. So, they arranged for me to be transported to the furthest location they knew, the metaversal grid of Second Life.

Since coming here I have had some adventures, made some friends, established myself in the community and discovered some things about myself. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, my Europan citizenship has been revoked. Thus, my sabbatical has turned into a retirement. I continue my researches nonetheless.
