This is clearly the fault of the 4th ed. Gunslinger Adept art. This is what you get when you have cute Japanese ork chicks.

I think that qualifies for Distinctive Appearance at level 9000.

At least it's a good demonstration on how Orks *CAN* be cute at least. Breaks the stereotype badly.And she can *STILL* kick ass hard enough to draw blood. |

Other than the nearly unnoticable "tusks," which are anything but, I don't see anything about her in the picture that indicates that's supposed to be an ork. Pretty crappy in that regard alone. The blinding colors don't bother me in the least. Just makes her dead.

I have a confession to make. It probably will not shock anyone who has been on the boards for a while.
I actually like the picture. |

The thing I hate most about SR4 is the propagation of the idea that anyone not dressed head to toe in all black is instakilled. In a world of people where low-light and thermo vision are commonplace, you aren't hiding from anybody in a black bodysuit. If anything, a van full of dudes dressed all in black rolling through the hood should be an automatic beacon for the cops. Bright colors and stupid hair? Must be club kids. Grim dudes dressed in all black? Probably up to no good... |

Fiberoptic hair is still a popular modification as well. Skin tinting has gone away, but Nanotats are in!

Dressing up as Strawberry Shortcake with a rainbow colored assault rifle slung across your back is the other end of the scale. Unfortunately for your argument, most people are in the middle. Ms. Shortcake will easily be targeted first in a combat situation. Not only is she more visible even in the worst of conditions, judging solely by the replies in this thread, people will aim for her just out of spite of looking so stupid. Hence, she's as good as dead if she tries to do anything even remotely espionage related. Unless that espionage is breaking into a nightclub or something equally benign. 'Course, then the assault rifle on her back makes her a primary target even then. |

'Course, then the assault rifle on her back makes her a primary target even then. Most people are on the "dressed like an extra in The Matrix" side of the scale, which is pretty far from the middle. The middle would be "dressed like a normal person", which nobody does because if you paid 900 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) for an armor jacket, you're sure as hell going to wear it everywhere. I doubt anyone goes on an espionage run with an assault rifle slung over their shoulder, so it's doubtful that would be a problem. Either she lives in a rough neighborhood, or she's out for a full-out assault mission. Either way, her ability to match colors isn't likely to come into play. I'm not super fond of the outfit, but it's a step in the right direction: Shadowrunners feel more "real" to me when there's something a little off about them. |
