I'm thinking of giving several of you guys, or at least your namesakes, a cameo or walk-on in an upcoming campaign. Anyone got a request for how they're represented? (And no, I don't wanna see your 180 pt character record. You're gonna be a cameo, and probably won't need stats. Also, I'm not talking about your character; rather, some version of you as a character.)
No one's gonna get killed in effigy, unless you ask nicely.

I think i'd be more interesting if you portray the lucky few as you envision them, and then let us know how it turned out.

I'm told I make a lovely elven assassin.

I demand photographic evidence.

I'll second fortunes comment.

Well when I think of Dog, I picture this light brown retriever-pit mix

when i think of Dog, i think of the Dog totem from the old video game

You do look Elven AH, though lovely is too feminine a term to suit you. Your picture has a vintage quality to it...I feel like I'm looking at a recolorized picture from a WWII scrapbook. Were you trying for that, or was it a quirk of fate?


On another random note...didn't Ryan Mercury have red hair...

Deleted because it wasn't what Dog meant, before he made it more clear.

I would also be honored to make a cameo in your game.

Wow, that would be awesome! Shanshu is a blonde elf guy who wears purple tinted eye glasses, and specialises in pistols. He's a sucker for the underdog, and has been known to take in strays on occasion. (people, not dogs) He's a True Believer in any cause promoted by Dunklezahn. He uses humor to disguise nerves, but usually plays it cool in most situations.

tech wizard or deck master. go figure.

my 2
I actually never developed my persona as a character, but if I were to do so, it would be something of a mix between the Silicon Mage, and a blood mage character. Black Magic and Matrix savvy, combined with a bit of know-it-all. Not so say that I know it all. Hahnsoo and AH are good about setting that straight (thanks guys ), just the character. Be more of an info broker or magical contact type. Definitely a black hat type.

I agree with Fortune. Pick some notable people and create them as you see them, then get back to us. More interesting that way.

I have a feeling the only usable bit of info is in bold. But here goes anyway. Here is a character that I have been playing for about 4 years (real time)

Chi-Sao. Drake (though always appears in human form), Male, 22yrs, Chinese-Mandarin. Long tied black hair with under cut. Brown eyes. Grade 12 Initiate. Masked, no Cyberware...

Chi-Sao is a well toned with a slim build. He wears only the best quality taylored armour. Currently he is fitted out with a Great Coat and suit, all from the latest range of fashion that you might have seen on recent trid. Cunningly however, the suit is made from a material that has 6 pre-programmed colours/patterns: Black, White, Urban Camo Day/Night, Woodland Day/Night. (Power packs & switches inside clothing) (Conceal: 10)

"You notice a young chinese man glance your way from under a Black chinese peasant hat. He is smartly dressed in suit and coat with no distinguisable markings. You notice from his posture that he he must have had good dicipline in his life but otherwise he appears calm and relaxed and is most likely just another bystander"

His weapon of choice is Pien'Chi, his custom made R:6 Weapon Focus Dikote Katana. This is yet concealed within his Great Coat in a custom sheath (Conceal 10). He follows the way of the Shadow and his aura is always masked (being a Drake after all!). He fights normally with a R:6 Anchored Armour Focus & a R:4 Anchored Improved Invisibility Focus (He has Magical Power Lvl 2 so takes Physical Drain from said spells:-( ). His hat is also a balanced throwing weapon. It shape allows it to be thrown much like a chakram (without returning).

Troll Grande Zombie / professional masked luchador / superhero (sometimes supervillain)

Usually a technico, except when is essence is running low, then definitely a rudo.

My namesake is usually either a meatshield or damage output. Usually Human, sometimes Elven. Rarely Awakened (if he ever is, an Adept. Silent path using mostly unarmed combat).

However, if you felt like portraying him differently, feel free. I agree with Fortune that it'd be interesting to see how it turns out.

You sure they aren't busy writing up some Shakesperean play?

You can always use the old Dumpshock Members Gallery for inspiration.

I don't know.

Ironically FrostyNSO, I do have light brown hair and the tendancy to chase after things just 'cause they run. Go figure.

So far, here's what I got:
AH is gonna be like that cigarette/smoking man from X-Files. All back-alley meets and cryptic clues.
Frosty's gonna be the grizzled, no bullshit merc at the end of the bar sippin' Jack and telling Desert Wars stories.
Caramel Frap, as much as it sounds like the name of an Italian Stripper, I think I'll just make you the favourite beverage of the team's fixer.
Talia's an uber-sociologist orator, probably from something like the People's University in Orkland.
Velocity: I know four Montrealers, and they're all very cultured, very smart, very perverse people. And with a name like that, you gotta be a rigger.

Is it me or does Fortune sound like a Prophet, one that is interested in Profit.

Did I misunderstand what you asked? Feel free to ignore what I posted and do whatever you think my name would suggest.

Perhaps Fortune the tridevangelist, then.

Trax, I'm mostly shooting for what I can glean about your OOC personality from the forum, then extrapolating that into a sixth world character.

My mistake, although at least i'm not the only one to have made it.

Have I made enough of an impression to be noticed, or no?

Sadly, your PCs will probely never 'see' Lindt... they might see the carnage left (if they live though it). Assassin, with a very messy public MO. Usually he plays with them a little first (missing with the first 3 sinper rounds, before the car he dives into blows up.) I was having a bad month when I wrote him up.
"Bystanders are for the weak."

Umm... sure Lindt. You run on ahead now, the rest of us'll catch up. Promise.

ShadowDragon8685: You're kind of a generalized pop-culture nut, aren'tcha? I haven't figured out if your handle is one of the lamest, or cleverest ones on the forum. Maybe a media promotions guy, somewhere between a "Cops in Trouble" producer and Dennis Miller.

I think it's time for Lindt to go back into the comfortable padded room.

Well, Kyoto's Human, Age 18 (last time I checked), Anglo (transplant from the UK via the TT), 4' 11", steely grey eyes, White hair (natural), attractive, athletic build, full facial bio tattoo resembling Kabuki makeup, Full bio tattoo on back of an Asian dragon.

Always looks to make a "street wear" fashion statement.

Likes: Skateboarding, Rollerblading, Baseball, Gymnastics ("I coulda been an Olympic gold medalist"), slicing & dicing Spirits with her Weapon Focus, Nukin Slam, Kabuki theatre, slicing & dicing Corp goons with her Weapon Focus, Sake (in moderation of course), Nukit Burgers, slicing & dicing Yaks with her Weapon Focus, Niel the Orc Barbarian, Sushi, oh, and slicing and dicing just about any kind opponent (well...maybe not a dragon) with her Weapon Focus

Dislikes: the "Tir Tangerine", Toxic shamans, Harlequin ("that's 2 times you messed with me Harley"), Dad (bloody stuck up elf), Bugs, wearing stuffy formal clothes, elitists, sexist bores, & all those other stuck up elves.

Motto: (see below).

Actually, my SN has a convolouted evoloution.

Waaaay back in the mists of time, in the earlier incarnation of the internet known as '98, there was an Internet Relay Chat. Unlike other IRCs, this was the IRC I resided on. Lo, it's name was Stratics, and it was Good.

I used the handle Shadow, for quite some time. I choose this handle after Shadow, the mercenary assassin from Final Fantasy III. Until the original owner, who long ago yet unbeknownst to me, whom had registered his name, choseth to plug the hole into which his name had fallen. Apparently, he didn't like me using his name.

And so it came that I was cast down from the name of Shadow. Forwith, and not to be daunted, I promptly dubbed myself ShadowDragon, and finding that name unregistered on the Stratics network, staked my claim and zealously defended it with fired exhalations.

Until such a time came as Stratics was no longer Good. And spreading my wings, I leapt unto the 'trix, as it was then, in the year of '99. And found a problem; everybody and his fragging cousin was known as ShadowDragon on some forum or another. I couldst not secure the name. I needed a name unique to myself, one that would not be registered on all other forums I could choose, so that I could universalize. From Y!IM to AIM to MSN, to forums far and wide and close to home, I would need to be known as myself.

And so, it came to pass that I added the date of my birth to my moniker. For, you see, I was born on August 6th, 1985. Which shortens to 08/06/85. Which further shortens to 8/6/85. Which, when you remove the slashes and put my name in front, becomes ShadowDragon8685.

Would have or was?

Is it just me, or should AH be a Tir-Nan-Og assasin?

Jrayjoker is a pedestrian. I have used him in some fiction as a fresh off the bus in the big town wide eyed inexperienced but very lucky dude. The kind of guy who walks up to a building only to have it explode while he bends over behind a concrete planter to tie his shoe. Then he stands there unscathed, blinking, and thinking, " Damn, that was a nice appartment. Why did it have to blow up like that?"

Didja ever notice how some people will jump at any chance to tell you all you never wanted to know about their characters?

Guys! Read to the bottom of the page!
