Fanshaw & Connolly

My good friend Mr Cornelius Fanshaw and I decided to start another little adventure series in Second Life.

You may consider it... a sort-of...hmmm, well it's a Victorian version of The Avengers. Like our TimeForce 10 Adventure Series, Fanshaw and Connolly is a mashup of several different television shows such as The Avengers and Wild Wild West with a healthy dollop of Sherlock Holmes.

Cornelius put together a great set for a few of our SL Group Photos. As you can see from my examples, the major influence is The Avengers. I've included two YouTube Videos for reference.

Fanshaw and Connolly is a New Babbage firm established to conduct unusual inquiries and investigations for a variety of clients. I'm sure there will be many crossover adventures with TimeForce 10 and the Royal Caledon Air Force.

The Fictional Influences for the character of Zoe Connolly (Part 1)

Zoe Connolly is primarily an "immersive" character within Second Life with several Real Life and Fictional influences. Here are two fictional examples as portrayed by English actress Diana Rigg....

Diana Rigg as Miss Sonya Winter in The Assassination Bureau (1969). A movie full of zeppelins, bombs, bordellos, and burials.



The Assassination Bureau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





Diana Rigg as Emma Peel in The Avengers.





These are just a few characters who have influenced the look and actions of Zoe Connolly. What are your influences and how do they manifest in the virtual world of Second Life?

Look for Part 2 tomorrow.
