Oh, so now we ALL have Wiki pages. Shit, let's see.

A history lesson

A photograph of Ether from Starkadium. Her vacuum arm is obscured by her hair.

Sophie "Ether" Lastnamewithheld used to text roleplay when she was a wee net-rat. (She is still a wee net-rat.) Then she read fanfiction. Then she joined a fan-based forum and text roleplayed a bit there. She first played mafia online when it was introduced to that forum in a messy, messy form. Ether was fascinated by the game and discovered 'Scum on its Wikipedia entry. She lurked without an account for a bit, left for summer camp for three weeks, then joined upon her return on July 24, 2006.

Ether quickly attained fame as a ScumChatter with healthy levels of sanity, maturity and libido. There was this awesome Momir game where she blatantly speedlynched Skruffs twice as a serial killer for the win. Her uPick games take a ridiculously long time to prepare.

On the forum scene, Ether steadily became lurkier and lurkier, and eventually flaked from the site entirely in early May 2007 without a word. She returned on July 26th, and insists that anything earlier than that is not canon. (Except possibly Newbie 259, an ironic origin story. She's never scum anymore, which is good because her town play is noticeably more active and enjoyable for everyone involved.) Upon her return, she played reliably again for about a year. But Ether has by this point become an unstable lurkerspammer whose sweat is probably radioactive. As of February 2009, she claims to be taking another break from the Internet in order to recharge. But that's obviously not true; I mean, she's on AIM like every other day to tease other people about their games, plus she's editing her Wikiscum profile. Right now. So yeah.

In the summer of 2008, Ether attended both Starkadium and Yosarian's Parents' BeachBam. She looks forward to the sequel to the latter in 2009.

Little known facts

Ether does not have a conventional left arm. It was removed in a surgery which replaced it with a vacuum cleaner. (Chainsaw arms, alas, require a license.) This is how she eats so quickly. Her unique appendage can also equip some accessories which human arms can't: most notably, she can equip Glork at will to redirect his deadly glorking abilities.

Ether is not a nun. She is not Angelina Jolie. Her screen name is not obscene and should not require the use of asterisks. She does not live in Middlesex. She is not 26, but she is at an age where she enjoys being told that she gives off 26-vibes.

Ether is a Mith minion. This loyalty has cost her; the Council of ScumChat expelled her from the clique for fear that she was a cultist. She insists that she has a dual win condition, but admits that there are some drawbacks to this. Incidentally--if you're eligible (read: female), you should join Ether, Talitha, Ibby, Bookitty, Mizzy and countless other role models. You should be a Mith Minion.

Once upon a time, Ether was in a two-way tie for "Most times having endgamed Glork." Now she's in a six-way tie. Andycyca is very happy. Ether is not.
