New character creation

You strip bare and lay in the cacoon, you insert the jack but don't drop right into EO as expected. A soft woman's voice plays from behind your head "we are using more than just the jack for this, we also need you to put on the **** feedback equipment, do you know how?" you nod then realize that they may not be able to see "Yea it has been a while though"

You strap on the belt slipping your cock into it then push the button causing a pleasant vacuum grip with a tingle that you recognize as a skin link (not a normal feature for this kind of device) then you put on the mask, biting down on the mouth guard which fills your mouth a bit uncomfortably then gives the same tingle and finally the gloves. A rig like this without the skin link would let you feel sex with a distant partner and a skin link small enough to fit behind your ear would let you do nearly anything but with that much skin covered and the jack they could transmit and receive more data than you thought existed in EO. The voice comes back "This next part is a little scarry but remember it is the mask you are breathing through" you are a bit confused until the cacoon starts filling up with a thick slime with the same tingle as the skin link and you black out.

You wake up in an EO character creation screen. Normally you wouldn't see one of these when you logged in, actually you haven't seen one since the last time you seriously upgraded your character Chloe about 5 years ago. The woman's voice comes back "Hey welcome, so we unlocked pretty much everything so you could upgrade your character. We need you to redo it so we can recalibrate the system." you sigh, it had taken you forever to get her just right last time. you look, the saved shapes are still there so that is at least something, you pull out Chloe's basic shape and check it out. She is set up as a pretty but not intimidatingly pretty, short and cute with a plump face and large breasts (though you resisted doing what most guys that play as girls do and kept them in the realm of possibility) Though ages can be hard to tell for EO player characters as there are very few ageing options unless you really dig, you usually roleplay as 18-23.

basic shape set up you go through and actually use a higher quality skin (both looks better than your old one and comes with upgraded software for the touch which you figure you will need with the new hardware) and a new hair cut, ginger red (and dyed to match) that goes just below your nipples when it hangs forward (you know for options) then start with a pigtail style. You are about to grab some of your old clothes and notice a warning telling you to fill up at least your basic style slots as they may change if you move to a new simulation without warning.
