Woohoo! Right, Tattered~Seraphim present. ^_^
Character: Alastor
Description:
Physically, Alastor is someone that both women and men would find attractive. His looks are what fans of Japanese manga and anime would describe as 'Bishounen', with angular features and a slender build typical of his Elven metatype. He appears to be in his early twenties. He stands at 6'2, and carries it to his full height. Streamlined, toned muscles that ripple gently beneath his shirt show a body that is fit and honed, but not overly bulky. His hair is pure, snowy white, cascading thick down his back to just below the small of his back, a section of hair tending to fall down over an eye when worn loose. Hawk-like eyes gaze out, their colour a cold, icy blue that shine with a slightest hint of pale lilac within them. Smooth, flawless milky white skin, which when combined with the hair, can sometimes give the impression of him being an albino in some lights, although this isn't the case really- he is just very fair.
However, despite the good looks, there is something quite unsettling' and 'off' about Alastor, something intimidating about his appearance, added to by the way that his thin lips curl up in a dark grin. The observant will notice then that his upper canines are just that bit too sharp, just that bit too long and pointed. They will also notice, if they pay attention to his finger nails, that they are completely white, and somewhat thicker than normal fingernails. They are also an odd shape, longer and pointier than normal human fingernails... which look like they could be quite sharp. They give the illusion of extending his already slender and tapering hands.
When he speaks, his voice is cold; the accent is very soft, traces of quite upperclass English there for those who look for it.
Dresswise, Alastor is most often decked out in head to toe black- his (leather) trousers, his t-shirt or shirt, his chunky reinforced toe-capped boots with thick buckles running up the side, to his high collared trench-coat, the collar pulled up. The only bit of colour, aside from the metal of the buckles, is the deep, blood red lining of his coat, or maybe a red shirt of some kind occasionally. The clothing looks as though it was originally quite expensive, but is well-worn but well cared for.

Felice is an attractive young woman in her mid-twenties. She is of latin-american origin, clearly visible with her lightly tanned skin, brown eyes and shoulder-long, dark hair, which she usually wears open with a few strands framing her pretty face, or bound back in a pony tail or a single braid. A little below average height (1.68m or 5ft.6in.), Felice has a slender figure and an athletic physique. Her prefered clothing is either black leather or white cloth, depending on the occasion; usually form-flattering and her casual wear is often quite revealing as well.

Shiver would probably be better looking if he kept better care of his appearence. While in terms of bone structue and height, he is symmetrical enough to be pleasing to the eye and tall enough to catch it, he is rarely seen in high rent neighbourhoods.
when he is he carries himself in a stopped and self-conscious pose. His clothing is cheap, and somewhat tatty, though from the way he wears his brown duster, and broadbrimmed hat in a sweltering summer, you guess he must really like them.
He also wears a pollution mask and dark goggles, and would look like something taken from a radioactive future trid flick because of it, except that his duster is unbuttoned, and below it he is wearing a thin white tee shirt, of somewhat suspiciopus bulk, and white trouser-flats. His entire look screams no fashion sence, and his deportment makes the eye move over him, no threat there. Even his commlink show signs that somebody either clueless or paranoid is using it, it broadcasts his SIN upon interrogation, upon no interrogaton, and more or less constantly ignoring any other incoming data. From it's signal it seems to be so low end that you would have a hard time running a trid on it without additional processing power.
One he moves to the rougher neighbourhoods, his posture changes somewhat, he straightens up and looks more alert. His Commlink goes completely dead, and you realise that he is not even generating standard RFID signals. The white tee shirt is removed to reveal an armoured vest, and the white flats are replaced with brown ones. A slight aura of menace begins to eminate from him, and this grows the rougher the neigbourhood, giving you the impression that he is in his element; this is not somebody who will be afraid, this is somebody to be afraid of.

Reggie is tall and well-toned, though not overly strong, the biceps of this 1.7 meter elf are well defined. With short brown hair, roughly 2 inches long, and sharp blue eyes, it's hard to tell if Reggie is female or male under the grease stained overalls the mechanic wears, though the name would typically indicate that Reggie is male. The elf's voice, though slightly high in pitch, is husky and deep, almost sensual. The undertone in Reggie's voice could be attributed to youth, as the elf appears young - perhaps late teens.
The elf can usually be found working on various machines and drones, typically wheeled drones and mostly bikes. When not tinkering on bikes and other machines, Reggie seems to know alot about the Matrix and technology. This knack is most surprising considering that no cyberware appears visible on the elf's body. In fact the elf doesn't even seem to have a commlink, but somehow keeps up with voice and text messages sent to an online account. In fact the speed in which Reggie responds to messages would suggest a constant always-on access to these resources.
To anyone online in the virtual world, the mechanic's icon is a smooth, androgenous silver humanoid with not distinguishing features.
Generally good natured, Reggie seems quite rough around the edges, lacking the refined graces that most elves possess. The mechanic is often seen in the company of Orks, bikers, even gangers, and knows their mannerisms well. In fact the elf seems most comfortable in their company, treating them like family.

Perception for the physical world.
Eury is a slender male elf, who looks taller than his 6 feet of hight due to his slim build. His skin is almost shockingly pale, even in the middle of summer, and his hair, which reaches his mid-shoulder, is split into even red and black stripes. He carries himself in a confident but not challenging manner for the most part, and can be found wherever people meet for discussions, quitely observing the procedings. He dresses to the area he expects to be travelling in, favouring pale natural colours, but not exclusively so. His green eyes are kindly when he is happy or amused, but can quickly seem to pierce through people who annoy him unduly. His skin has clearly seen repeated exposure to the elements, but not the excessive weathering of someone who earns his living outdoors.
His speach is that of a well educated man, with an accent that is hard to place, as though he had spent a long time learning a foreign language that you do not know, and it has effected his patterns of pronunciation.
People local to the former Ute sector may know Eury as a scholar of the more odd sides to magical lore, and that he is generally happy to trade information for hard to find knowledge.

I'll have the description and everything up by tomorrow, promised. My brother just came back from 6 months of backpacking around South America, so I was sorta busy today

At first glance, Sander isn't an impressive man. He has rather european features, very regular brow eyes, and short brown hair in style with the latest corporate fashion. As a matter of fact, Sander looks more like a corporate suit than anything else. Depending on the flavor of the month, he might have a mustache, a beard or a clean shave. Currently, he has a neatly trimmed beard. Concerning his heigh and build, he is once again rather difficult to classify. Average in every aspect. Because he does not posses any striking features, Sander can easily become anyone and anything.
Sander favors business suits and attire to anything else. His shirts are always crisp white, his tie always impecably knotted, his suits never with a wrinkle. Quite simply; he looks like a rather affluent and comfortable person. Someone who would be used to fine drinks, fine food and fine women.

Okay, peeps just a warning you'll get to denim in the order you post arriving and ordering your drink (or whatever else I told you to do). Give people a little to catch up.
People who are there sorry to stop you talking but the barman has a set responce and I want to leave till everyones ready. Just make like Mr J has asked you to sit quietly. Should be tomorrow evenning when everyone is caught up.
In the mean time the music is great, and your not all drinking cranberry juice cocktails.
Oh and for a map of Denver download the commando news letter off CommandoHQ linked via www.srrpg.com, latest issue has the denver map in it.

Most of those are to my mind goggles, you get bulkier size and funny looks, as well as mne not kicking you about all the shit added in. I mostly wish the eyewear had capacity rules... Basically all i ask is either wear goggles or be reasonable about what you put in them (NO ultrasound contacts!!!!). No sweat. You just won't be that anonymous.
Actually yours sound like odd glasses, with a lot of stuff in them. The swimming google effect is far from important to me.

I can live with the odd odd look, people look at the goggles not the face behind it, so taking them off can be quite the change. I just don't see it being the sort of thing that kids would point out to their mums...
To be honest ultrasound contacts are not unfeasable, so long as you do not have the ultrasound emitter in the actual contacts
. Shove the emitter under your bottom lip, or perhaps in a tooth compartment for the front teeth and a mike under a flesh couloured slap patch on your forehead, for the parralax, and there is no reason not to be able to extrapolate a 3d image for the contacts to view from that info.

Border hoipping can be a risk, particularly with weapons. However pick your time right and it goes fairly smooth. I'm allowing people to go thru this time no hassle, but this is yopu last free ride. Usually you need to make a cha+etiquette+fake SIN rating check against a threshold of 3, to get thru smoothly. Failure means you have to bribe your way past, glitching gets some (illegal) gear confiscated and critical glitches are bad. If people cross borders in game when it's relevance light(ie heading to meet rather than a part of the run) just make the test post and say you got thru clean or payed a bribe (about 300 
per sucess you missed).
Yeah move to the evening, as I would like to get things moving.
Denim security will let you in with a pistol, as long as it's hidden. Armed Shadowrunner clientelle really discourages hold ups.

Suppose you are not carrying anything illegal at all? (Well, apart from a fake SIN...)

What if you have permits for your weapons?
Or will the border guards somtimes simply make trouble because they are bored or whatnot?

Its for any border crossing with fake ID.
Yeah the guards will just hassle for shits an giggles.
Permitted equip won't be take, basically the test is for walking thru with out getting a Q+A session with the guards, threshold will be altered depending on timing, you hit rush hour and the threshold is 1 or 2, middle of a quiet rainy night it goes up to 4. If you don't like the risk work out other border crossing tricks...

Eeek, looks like I missed a fairish bit yesterday and earlier today- sorry for holding up prceedings a bit. But I'm back now, with very achey feet from the theatre last night. Phantom rocked, as it always does. ^_^
I reckon that as I walked straight there from me squat soon as the message arrived, I probably arrived first, by about 5 hours, drek up with the timing. 
As such I will be unabashedly chatting up the barmaids and making friends with the barkeep, before getting myself a seat near the bar, and listening for people asking for sea breezes with umbrellas. For fun I try to figure out exactly how many other illicity deals would be going through today,
The 6'10 Ork Cyberbunny ordering a double taboo and coke with extra ice was probably one...
Soon I get bored of that minor diversion and then I settle in to chilling out and minding my own business.
