Drake. I've always dreamed of flying. The "first transformation" bit scares me, though. It could happen at such an inoppurtune moment...

Last I checked we're all out of the womb, so we missed our chance on Elves, Dwarves, and their metavariants (and immortal varieties).

Oops.

I'd opt for Drake, Elf, or Immortal Elf.

Besides, who is to say that the Awakening doesn't make current humans change into Elves...

Drake would be interesting though. Immortal Drake would be even more nifty.

I'd go for Ninja. No way that's just learned.

Drop Bear.

That answers fits nearly every time.

I'm going for a human-looking elf! Everybody always says i'm skinny...

Troll . . definitely . . people should not like me for my goody two shoes looks . . i wanna be big and strong enough to be left the hell alone and to convince everybody else that they should not try something stupid with me . . i have the temper and i am pretty much close on orc body, so it would not be that much of a difference . . and it was allways my goal to hit above 2m in height ^^

Do I really need to say?

I see they finally agreed to drop the "t". Congrats!

I've been an ork in spirit for too many years not to expect a fun time during UGE...

Me? Minotaur metavariant. Moo!

Troll. Well, duh!

Human for me, I've grown to like the body I currently inhabit, and I also like not being discriminated against. Good jobs and educational opportunities FTW.

Human. Because I don't like the idea of having tusks.

Human here too.

Mainly because im female, and female trolls are very, very scary.

Ive gotten my height(read; short) picked on enough that a dwarf would be annoying. Orks are alright; id be a wimpy ork, but the ork ladies, as the gun expert proves, don't have to look too scary, but i dont think id want to sprout tusks
and have my life expetancy halved.

Though i wouldn't complain too much of an elf i suppose. Not an immortal elf, though. i'd be first on people's hit lists, apparently. Come on now, there's racism against all metatypes, but orks ain't got nothing on the prejudice against the ol' IEs

wouldn't be half as bad if they were just immortal, and not immoral and allways sticking their pointy ears in things where they don't belong . .

I'd probably be an Ork, but it's not on the list. So I voted Drake.

It is, actually, though misspelt.

I'd want to be an elf. And the UGE happened to folks at all stages of life in the original push, including some rather painful failed attempts. It's one of the reasons for the Night of Rage and the metahuman prejudice. Also, I wouldn't say there is prejudice against IE's, since most folks don't know they exist and likely wouldn't care too much since they view elves as mostly immortal anyway.

Though from what I recall elves supposedly never appeared through UGE, they just sorta showed up and pretended they were humans prior. That could just be a faulty memory and my high school GM's interpretation.

The elves I can buy, they had a decent story line reason for remaining hidden. What's the deal with the stubbies?

i would be an Elf... shadowrun is the only system i have ever played where i like playing an elf.. usually i would they suck. i think its because they are not inherently arrogant and pompous.

UGE was birth-only. Goblinization was what happened at any stage of life, and as the name suggests, people only turned into trogs.

As for the stubbies, aside from (IIRC) some rumors about Immor(t)al Dwarves, they just all got born at or after the Awakening.

~J

there's rumors about immortal dwarfs? O.o
nothing to do with that novel series in the ADL with the subway dwarf kingdom of hwaldos?

No secret underground kingdom, no sir.

Still here?

GO AWAY LONGLEGS!

--
Yes, that one.

I'm assuming I'm immortal until I get proof to the contrary.

Who wants to be a Drake? once you're out of the 'closet' every Elmer Fudd is after you.

Elf variant: Romulan. Or Drowmulan. Pointy ears, psychic powers, supercilious formality.
Ork variant: Klingork. Big, tough, fierce, wielding wacky-shaped blades.

Thank goodness there aren't Ferenkoboldsin SR4 yet.

Elf so I can do Elf Porn Vids with Elf Hotties. The chicas are all hot!

Considering my age, i would have to stay with being human. Sorry but i've grown out of my Elf mania. Though if the life expectancy didn't change i think i could be an Ork.
