Thanks for your support!

Maybe if I just used the picture for the signature and not another one each time , then that would not make it so strong!

I like using this "crazy" character as a horror host.

But if it is too objectionablr, then I will tone it down.

Actaully, I would like to get out of the "woman" image and do something else as a character,, but I would need to close down the Maria Zalesky account and start a new one! Or at least rename the account!

How do I go about it?

To be honest I am tired of the Countess Marya character myself! And that image is definitely not me in real life!

How about some help.

I wasn't actually trying to insult you, seems like that's how some people took it. I'd just like to see you out of character.

I agree, the fact that Maraya stays in character is sweet but he's obviously such an interesting guy (with interesting hobbies) and I too would love to get to know him a little better.

Be whoever you want to be online, who cares what other people think? If people don't like it let them ignore you, but they have the right not to find you entertaining. So be a crazy old vampire lady, be a self-important young lady with anger issues, be a young man who's little more than an asshole with nothing nice to say... just enjoy it.

You didn't insult me.

I don't need to show a picture of the granny vampire everytime!

However, I still want to keep the character since I have the account set up that way.

I will have the picture as my signature and let it go at that.

But insert other pictures along the way.

However, I want to still keep the character! I enjoy doing it!

I take the criticism very good.

I still want my site to be about The Countess Marya since I have no idea how to change it.

I will still have my signature as my character wearing a dress and wig.

But you are right, I am a male, and probably need to show other sides of me. Believe me, i am nothing in real life likeThe Countess. It was a Halloween costume! I wore it once and probably won't ever wear it again! I did not enjoy wearing a dress. Believe me!

I do enjoy the forum and enjoy participating.

I will make the necessary changes now. However, my character will still remain as Countess Marya but not shown so much!

At least you didn't win a fight to wear the dress. :p
Just be yourself and you'll develop your own character personality here.
It's not like we all know exactly who you are and everything about you.
You're a type of mystery here, so do you're own thing.
Just don't try to make it cheesy. ^.^
Cheesiness should come naturally!
It's like what Marley says... everyone here is their own character.
But hell, if you prefer to be this granny person, keep on posting valuable opinions, and I'm sure we'll get over it eventually.

I'm sure I just reiterated everyone's opinions into one, but still. ^.^
They have a point.

I'll try to do that!

But I am still going to keep The Countess character for my profile and signature!
