Hey, Eric, do you mind if Necromancer notices something similar between Karyn
and Lauri? I was thinking of having him think their sisters.

On that same note, I think Chris would pick up on that pretty quick.

(This also applied to GP's comment that Chris / Dark Angel / Durandal
would notice...)

Major point: The only person Karyn has met since she suddenly appeared,
is Vengeance (played by Josh Harrison). Coyote and others saw her and
took pictures, but no one else has actually met her in person or talked
with her. Let's be realistic. The last thing you heard about Laurissa
was she went riding out into the setting sun on the back of a
sub-orbital. The only person who might be looking at strange, new people
is Durandal, and there is a reason for that. But then, how many other
females have probably entered Seattle since Laurissa left. Probably a
lot. Karyn doesn't _really_ _look_ _like_ Laurissa. There was a slip
when I wrote their stats before (I wasn't being a good little engineer
and paying attention to my conversion factors)... It should have read
Lauri was 1.7 m, 60 kg and Karyn is 1.81 m, ~55 kg. Lauri had somewhat
curley neck length red hair and violet eyes. Karyn has straight blonde hair
that ends about ear level and blue eyes. There is some resemblence, but
Lauri was stockier and Karyn has a lot thinner build.

Sisters? Maybe. I think it would be a better guess than Karyn is
Laurissa.

If people actually met Karyn, and talked with her, they would probably
pick up similar traits and mannerisms, but I really doubt unless Durandal
and Necromancer have a severe case of deja vu, they are going to jump out
out of their lounge chairs and say, "It's Laurissa!" is thinner.

If Karyn was being played by a new player (or at least email address),
would you have suspected?

P.S. Player _really_ doesn't want her to give up her identity on open
channels yet.
