After discovering the joys of Wikipedias that are dedicated to specific things, and spending tons of time browsing their informative pages, I have come to the realization that I need a Vrichlin Wiki. It would make it super easy to organize EVERYTHING and put it into a format that others could understand. There would be no need to take time explaining certain things because I can shoot off links right and left! I could give good, round descriptions of all these people I have come to spectate and speculate. I wonder how easy it is to start a wiki... I'll start:
World of V. Richlin is a series of stories set in the past, present, and future of creator [Censored still]'s mind, based off events of her life. Most of her stories involving people take place in the immediate present or the future, where stories revolve around the next generation. Stories taking place in the past are usually very far back and explain the beginnings of traditions and creation. Often, dreams and events dictate the direction of character development and is not based on total omniscience. Almost every story connects to at least one other in some way and stories are often progressive in real time. As other stories form, getting inspiration from dreams, events, or by discovering something like a great name or place, Vrichlin always finds a way to connect them together, grafting them in and giving them greater meaning.
Vrichlin has always taken great interest in others and is no stranger to roleplaying and coming up with people and stories behind them. As far back as Kindergarten Vrichlin recalls pretending to be someone else, usually someone disabled in some way, to explore what their life might be like. This led to a lifelong love of creation of people, their personality, and how they came to be. By mid-elementary school, these creations were coming to life and by middle school, with the introduction of Avicile Mohaili, each new person was assigned a family with parents and siblings, a birthday, well-defined looks and personality, and a story. As she progressed through high school this method became very refined and even more complex. Vrichlin describes the stories in her head as "a web of stories, all connected. Anything missing will be discovered in due time."
As long as she has been writing, Vrichlin has been drawing as well. She enjoys sketching the people she sees in her mind and as she has aged her signature drawing style emerged and is easily recognizable. Even unlabeled, she is able to quickly identify the people of her drawings. Her memory and knowledge of so many things is great and even she cannot fully comprehend or explain how she knows and retains so much.
Her blog was created a few years ago for the purpose of explaining the major points of her imagination to friends, relatives, and anyone interested. Over the years it has evolved into a portfolio of short stories, essays, explanations, character studies, and story series often broken up into letters or chapters. She claims that only a fraction of the goings on in her head make it down to paper, due mainly to the size of the task and personal choice. She says that once she starts talking about things and the true complexity of it all comes out, people often tell her to write a book. She confesses that the reason she hasn't is because most of her stories don't have a definitive plot that could be spelled out in a book. This is why she has chosen a blog where she can be as static as she likes and people can follow at her pace. However, some stories do have major plots and these are beginning to be written down as chapters as events shape the details.
V. Richlin is a pseudonym of definite origin. The V stands for Vifiale, a name that [Name censored] took as her own so that she could participate in the stories she wrote throughout middle and early high school. The last name Richlin was the surname of her best friend in late elementary school. However, as time went on, she started hating the name Vifiale and by college she was no longer a character in her stories but an omniscient observer. However, she still signs all of her artwork with V. Richlin and decided to use this name as a full pseudonym. By college she favored Avicile Mohaili as her avatar and has decided on that name as her blogger name, as she runs multiple blogs (notably one about her dealings in the MMORPG, Runescape) and could only choose one which would be used on all of them.
Vrichlin describes herself as just a normal introverted girl marching to her own beat.
