Yeah. Although there are some people who don't look like anything. The
funny thing is that I actually know an amorous dwarf (you know you want
to play that ;). Anybody hear read Terry P.?) a goth dwarf female (a
number of them actually), and a number of elves and trolls (tall/skinny
or those of a similar build to me) although orcs do seem pretty rare.

Not many people are ugly enough to be orcs...

LOL. My archetype is Trollish Decker definitely. I don't know about much
else character wise... Perhaps a coupple of matrix edges. Flaws? I
dunno. I may have the helpful-gremlins _edge_? Things tend to work in my
presence... I could take a CPU out of a system while rubbing a balloon
against my shirt without any threat of damaging it.
