I didn't really like Harlequin's Back [spoilers!], The plot wagon came from Mad Max: The Road Warrior Options

My old write-up of H was similar, but his strength was 5ish. I figured someone who had been around that long would be stronger than the average guy at the end of the bar, very easily. He likely would have taken SOME time to at least get a 4 or something. It's a minor nitpick, and it doesn't even change too much except for a couple points of DV which would rarely get used, but it stands out to me as that H would not have any stat that is of an average human, if anything, due to some arrogance. He would make sure to be above average. Especially someone who kept their body in that extreme of shape that he IS in, he would likely be above average through just basic workout. (I think mine had a Body of 5 as well.)

Otherwise it was very close.

Agreed in all fluff aspects. I would suppose that over time, H's muscles would have refined to the point that the muscles are incredibly dense. But I still saw him as having a reasonably slim build and I decided to peg that as someone who was lean but extremely good power to weight ratio at 4. Any higher and I felt I'd have to start visualising him as bulkier than I wanted to. I do remember thinking over whether I have him at 5 or settle for 4. We were clearly thinking out the same concepts though.

Aye, definitely same conceptual idea. The way I pictured H physically was like one of those gymnasts you see; very good strength/body to size ratio, I guess you could say. I had a friend who was a gymnast some years back(nothing Olympic even-simply good at he did)-he wasn't the largest guy on the block, but he was incredibly well toned and strong as an ox for his size, and he seemed to have an endurance that wouldn't quit. It was pretty impressive watching him. I'd have pegged him easily as a 4/4 in Shadowrun terms. Going by the Shadowrun rather aenmic lifting rules, he probably would have pulled a 4 Body, 5 Strength, given the way he could hold up his own 75ish kilo frame for unlimited amounts of time.

I think we checked him for implants once, but he was essence 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Perhaps he was an adept? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)
