Hi all!

Since "age" and "old" are words the search engine does not accept, I apologize if there had already been a thread on this topic.

What I was wondering about: how long a runner could survive running th shadows? We all know it is dangerous and deadly to do, because we all lost some characters.

But there are especially smart and tough ones who could probably make it. Of course, most of them will retire as soon as they have enough money, but lets assume he/she is an adrenaline junkie or some kind of Robin Hood type of character who cannot stop doing runs.

I thought about an elf born in the year 2011 now being around his/her sixties and still running the shadows. He/she will be highly experienced, professional at nearly everything he/she does, since he/she had a lot of time to develop his/her skills. Probably also cybered at the max., living luxury lifestyle, knowing hundreds of people and so on.

Would be a quite good prime runner to throw at a group.
