Cameo

Cameo is an enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a big shiny box covered with sparkly wrapping paper. And a bow. And some of those little squiggly things people like to put on presents.

There are two distinct entities sharing the name of Cameo: Cameo the Author and Cameo the character. They don't look much like each other, have completely different powers, and the latter is significantly more hyperactive than the former, but the line between the two is often blurred due to the fact that Cameo the character is both a character in her own right and Cameo the Author's avatar.

Cameo the Author

Cameo the Author is strawberry-blonde, fair-skinned, the owner of two lovely tannish-brown wings, and, being an Author, semi-omnipotent (fully omnipotent within her own realms). She tends towards dry wit, snarkiness and wordplay, with the occasional bad pun, and is much more interested in art and writing than her avatary counterpart.

Cameo the Author has also been known to complain of an Alien Psycho Sister, a dreaded creature who has, thankfully, thus far not been seen on the forums. This Alien Psycho Sister is reputed to be small, green and incredibly annoying.

Cameo the Character

Cameo the Character, on the other hand, is dark-skinned, white-haired and has unnaturally blue eyes, along with electrokinesis. She enjoys sugar, bouncing around, and shiny things, but has her serious moments as well (the former is much more obvious on the rare occasions when she appears as a character, as opposed to an entity shared between the two Cameos). Her past is significantly more mysterious than the other Cameo's; she has yet to discuss it with anyone, at least as far as we know.

Cameo of Borg

Cameo of Borg, as she has been named (perhaps nicknamed), showed up several months ago in place of Cameo's usual avatar, recently donning a pair of kitty ears for Halloween. She resembles Cameo-the-character, only bald, covered in Borg implants and lacking Cameo's usual smile.

Her origins are unknown, as is her status and eventual fate: has Cameo-the-character been assimilated into the Collective? Is she the third, newest Cameo, having decided to show her face on Mayhem? Did Cameo the Author decide to draw Borg implants onto her character one day and like it so much that she kept the look? Is it something completely different that I haven't mentioned here? Only time will tell.
