Shadow will show up early. He has had dealings with vampires(using the info
from the post talking about the possibility she might be infected with
HMHVV). He has a scarred face, though you might be able to notice the
plastic surgery that was used to reduce the actual scarring. He is 5' 8"
tall, reddish-brown hair and brown eyes, he moves smoothly and gracefully.
He is very knowledgable and meticulous. He'll want to know as much about
the target and objective as possible. He'll, also, say something about
trying to recover data or other things to get a better idea about what goes
on, in case the group is set up. He'll also ask for any available info on
the employer.

Imp is 5'10", close-cropped black hair. He'll be wearing a Vashon
Island suit and a Mortimer of London Greatcloak. Contrary to his
appearance, he's quite easy-going (no pun intended) but becomes
very focused when talk moves toward planning for the run. His
movements are very casual, none of the usual jumpiness that usually
accompanies wired samurai, but he's too confident not to have some
type of enhancements.

Easy's a little over six feet tall and very slim - thin, really. She's
almost deathly pale, with long platinum-blonde hair and blue cybereyes,
and wears black leather jeans, a motorcycle jacket over a white silk
shirt, and very good quality (if rather worn) black leather gloves: when
she comes in, she's also wearing sunglasses and a scarf around her head,
but once she's in shade she removes them.

Her movements and mannerisms show the care of someone with wires and no
reflex trigger. Her accent is a mix of Tarislar and Southern.

What she knows about the target is that they are a small lab called
Oxton Radiological Services, specialising in analysing radioactive ores
and various radiation-based forms of non-destructive testing. "They're
breaking ground for a new lab. I guess someone wants to take out some
competition."

She likes Shadow's idea about insurance. "My employer is not a nice
person. Neither am I, so it doesn't disturb me, but that business with
the Mercer family was too slick. I have a feeling he knew more about it
than he let on: he told me a subordinate got out of hand, which is
plausible, but I the 'rogue junior' is overplayed. I have been, and
intend to continue, being very careful in my dealings with the guy."

Shadow (and anyone else) can draw what he likes from her pallor,
apparent terror of sunlight, and the fact she doesn't touch a drop of
anything alcoholic during the meal. When she takes her gloves off to
eat, you notice white bracelets of old scar tissue surround both wrists.

Is Easy psychotic? Shadow is one of the blood-brothers of the best known
psychotic on the list, THE Nexus. Plus, he was the one who brought Nex
(short for THE Nexus, for those who don't know who Nex is .) out of his
shell. If she is, he'd, probably, know exactly how to deal with her.

She's a homicidal psychopath. I'm backtracking my way through the
digests (it's slow work - busy as hell at the moment) and yes, I've run
into THE Nexus. Foxey Roxey's ex and Arial's father?

That would be correct. And part of the reason that Roxey's not around
much these days is because I can figure how to play Roxey without Nex
ever being in the picture(a la my RL campaign) and how to play her with
Nex around, but I've still not figured out how to play her now, with Nex
as an Ex-, except as a mother.

Of course, having other characters taking the forefront doesn't help my
well established characters one bit either.
