Description
Voodoo looks nothing like a traditional runner. She is a short, slightly dumpy, pale skinned, freckly, plain-looking Elf. Her bright ginger dread-locks are usually tied back in a crude pony-tail, she wears a pastel-green jumpsuit with bold flower patterns stencilled on it in contrasting pastel browns. She travels almost everywhere on roller-blades and usually wears a dented pastel blue crash helmet. Her hi-tech shades are styled like old fashioned circular wire-frame spectacles and she humps a backpack full of enchanting paraphernalia with her almost everywhere.

She carries a hunting knife, a pistol and a rifle with her in the wilderness but she tries not to wander around cities without stashing the rifle somewhere safe. She is a little gun-shy and usually only packs stick'n'shock.

Alexander 'Magus', doesn't have a drop of magical blood in him. He's 26 years old, and around 6'3'' tall; his hair is about a shade from white, and his skin really pale; he has an allergy to the sun.(he's not quite albino though). His cybereyes look like his originals, icy pale blue. He dresses in easy to move combat clothing; loose cargos tucked into heavy boots and a loose sleeveless shirt(dark blue shirt, black pants i guess); his armored jacket is made of leather, sorta heavy-metal style. (if you want to draw him without the jacket, you will see the bit of an autopsy looking scar coming up out of the low neck of the shirt. Long story. Old bulletwound on his right elbow as well, scars here and there on his arms and a thin one going behind his ear toward his neck.) His hair is medium length, about between his nose/mouth area, straight but a bit wild, like always windblown or something. He wears fingerless gloves(for shooting) with some metal on the knuckles; his boots have steel around the outer parts(front, back, other parts where hes most likely to use to kick someone), he's a Savate master and uses his legs alot. Build is strong but agile kind of look. He's generally a good natured guy who believes in doing something as best you can while looking good doing it(before he got stuck running he wanted to be an action movie star) so his facial expression, have fun with that, ill leave that up to you )

He's quite a handsome guy, looking around his age, clean-shaven. He aschews jewlery except for a couple of silver rings.

Besides his savate, his weapons of choice are a fairly large(but realistic for one hand) monosword(customized red, black, and silver), and an Ares Predator(same colors in a side holster under the arm), and has a survival knife on his boot.) He uses other weapons too but those are the ones that are probably on him. He's left-handed if that's any concern.

Portia Aoki a.k.a. "The Porcelain Doll"

Image: Perfect, ivory-white limbs of smooth ceramic armour, soft, black mesh within. Even her face is an immaculate mask with marble eyes. When she speaks, it is in a gently modulated Southern CAS accent and her painted lips don't move at all. She is almost more deeply cybered than seems possible, with the highest quality visible in the grace with which she walks and the poise with which she holds her pistol. Only her right arm, remains human, wrapped in a sleeve of dark material - the only clothing she wears - as if to conceal it from onlookers. She is petite and slender and her footfalls on the asphalt, are barely audible clips. If she had chosen to sneak up on you, you would already be dead, now.

Notes: Portia has a heavily customised body (Case Mod options from Augmentation) and is all Betaware. The face mask of her cyber-skull is interchangeable and she has an alternate one for combat which is an almost blank visage with only eyes and the barest 'O' of a mouth. She typically rides a customised Suzuki which she rigs. It's not mentioned in the above, but I do picture her with hair, though I've not quite worked out how it fits with her obvious cyberskull. Probably the fibre-optic hair mod from Augmentation, though.

Quote: "DON'T LOOK AT THAT ARM! It's not mine. It's not me. It's going to be replaced. I'm not finished yet.

The Porcelain Doll came out of my attempt to make a viable starting 400BP character with full cyberlimb replacement. When I found that I couldn't quite do the final arm, but I'd already given her a augmentation compulsion, the character just left off the page at me. She is now a deadly NPC shadowrunner with a tragic backstory of abuse and self-loathing. I don't know what will ultimately happen to her, but I think she's going to self-destruct at some point and probably take a city block with her. I don't know how you want to approach drawing her. If you can work in her "combat mask" as well that would be great, but obviously up to you. She sometimes wields a katana as well as her pistol. I've tried drawing her myself and I'd love to see someone else's take on her.

Nathan Sharpe, also known as Claymore, appears to be in his early 20’s, and is quite good looking, at least partially due to a number of extensive cosmetic surgeries. Despite the surgery however, some parts of his body still bear quite a few scars that tell the tale of his violent life. Nate has a wiry build, though he is slightly below the elven norm in height, measuring only 1.85 meters, and weighing in at 77 kg. His dirty-blond hair is neatly cut in a short yet shaggy style, with a small braided ponytail hanging down the back of his neck. The emerald pupils of his cybereyes are faceted in such a way that they seem at times to emit a gem-like green sparkle all on their own, even when they're not catching the ambient light. His only other visible cyberware is a datajack in his left temple, although other implants are definitely present.

Nate sports a tattoo on his left bicep of a pair of crossed swords with the Ancients symbol emblazoned over the top of them in neon green, with the word 'Ebonvert' ornately written in matching green on a black banner beneath. Another vibrantly-colored tattoo depicting a feathered serpent twisting around his right arm all the way from his wrist to peek over his shoulder, and in yet another, this one on Nate's chest right over his heart, a black cat reclines on top of the words 'Front Toward Enemy' written in small, neon green military script, its tail loving curled in and around the 'F'.

Nathan normally dresses in street-style clothing, his preferred colors being the Ancients' own black and green, with the occasional splash of purple or lavender. Conspicuously absent though, are the multiple zippers, chains and studs that generally accompany this type of fashion. A matched pair of Ares Predators typically hang in twin shoulder holsters, with an assortment of other pistols usually hidden on his body as well. He keeps a pair of Ingram Smartguns stowed in his bike for emergencies, and has been known to occasionally wear a full combat rig, with an additional Predator strapped to each thigh.

Leela Groznek (Serbian SSID codename Queen of Diamonds)

Human - female
Age 19 (when she was a runner)
Small physique: A shade over 5 ft tall, underdeveloped (looks like a 12 - 13 year old).
Unkempt shoulder length fairly straight red hair
Sparkling blue eyes
Fair complexion though no freckles

Clothing (usually worn on runs)
Bib styled overalls with tube top

FN-AAL Gyrojet (similar to below)
Gyrojet pistol
...and her father's Ceska vz/120

Leela's also an expert demolitionist, I'll leave this to the imagination.

Personalty
Again she has the outlook and mannerisms of a young girl even though she is extremely intelligent and extremely cunning & resourceful (honed during her years with the Croatian Resistance). She is fairly mischievous, but can appear very shy & innocent (one of her acts).

Notes:

Basically she lost her family when Zagreb was attacked by Serbian forces which heralded a nearly decade long occupation of Croatia. Her father was a renowned pyrotechnician (fireworks) hence her love of things that go *boom*. For a good portion of her life all she knew was war and destruction and after being extracted and taken to Seattle, she still thought of herself as being at war, this time with the Corps she feels profit from the oppression of her people.

Leela is also a virtuoso classical pianist who at the age of 8 - 9 was beginning to turn heads in the music world. The war interrupted her young musical career, which she got back on track with just before I retired the character. As her part of her bowing out from the shadows, she performed Novastar quality recital at New Royal Festival Hall in London (we used the Shadowbeat performance impact rules to determine the outcome). One of the few times a character actually had a nice retirement.
