Jasmine

A.K.A.

The Gothic Metalhead Empress of Mermaids

..........

Jasmine created Lyraka.com using Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash.

Jasmine drempt up and is the total inspiration behind the entire Lyraka concept, including but not limited to the Lyraka screenplay, music and artwork.

This page reveals what inspires Jasmine and how she came to be the way that she is.

When she was four years old she went to the theater for the first time in her life and saw, "The Little Mermaid". Ever since then she's had an obsession with mermaids. She spent her childhood daydreaming and singing along with Ariel.

When Jasmine was seventeen she met a man that changed her life forever. Andy wrote a song for her, "Coronation" which inspired her to no end. Much to her delight, many more songs were to come and many years of being in LOVE.

Andy has enriched her life in many ways. His philosophical musings aroused in her a desire to ponder the relationship between the subconcious and conscious aspects of the mind, as well as the significance of symbolism and the oh-so-mysterious archetype. Simply by being Andy's other half, she's learned via osmosis the hypotheses of the greatest thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, Georg Hegel, Carl Jung and of course Richard Wagner.

When she saw "Beowulf" in theaters, she was blown away by the state-of-the-art 3D CGI animation. Jasmine's decided that Motion Capture is the technology she's going to use to present her movie.

Jasmine has an interest in starting other screenplays. One is for a zombie flick and the other would be a libretto for an Italian vampire opera called, "L'idolo Vendicato" (The Avenged Idol).

She loves most of the same albums that Andy loves. She also loves certain albums by Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Marilyn Manson, Orgy and Cradle of Filth.

There are exceptions but she is generally not a fan of rap, R&B, Raggae, Blues, Hip-Hop, Jazz or Country. Jasmine is known to enjoy industrial, opera, techno, gothic, black metal, but above all, HEAVY METAL. She finds death metal, punk and thrash to be tolerable in small doses and if there's a mosh pit, she'll likely stick around.

Photographers: Jasmine is available for your mermaid or gothic fashion photo shoot. You may contact her directly for booking.

Who says video games are for fat, depressed people? The impressive attributes of the ultimate femme fatale, Lara Croft, and many characters in the Resident Evil series have inspired me to pursue martial arts and weightlifting. When I sprint, I pretend I'm Wesker doing his mad dash.

I also use videos games and World of Warcraft as a sort of subterfuge. During gameplay, my subconscious is able to relax enough to incubate on my own fantasy.

If I were a Sim, my traits would be Artistic, Athletic, Computer Whiz, Loner and Lucky.
