Interacting with our Community Virsonas opens up a world of possibility - you can actually talk directly to one of your heroes, conduct research or simply have FUN! You can also create Virsonas of departed loved ones, your pet(s), as well as for commonly shared experiences, for example; "The First Kiss."
