Well, you asked for it...


Name-- Orion Antilles

Appearance-- Varies with cover. Current (and actual, no-cover appearance),
professionally casual. Often turtleneck and dark jeans (or BDU style pant)
and v.often full-length trench coat, leather, v.worn but in excellent condition
though. Short (but not mil.spec. short) dark hair (v.dark brown/black), the
kind of face that you might remember but at the same tine is kindof generic,
forgettable in a crowd. A touch of the rugged look. Fairly decent build, all
depends on how he carries himself, can easily blend in anywhere but can also be
imposing if needs be. Actually more fit than he looks.

Combat info, etc.-- V.highly skilled Martial Artist. Trained under Stephen
Hayes in Japan late 90's (ninjutsu), Grandmaster Steven L. Sun before that
(tiger kung fu), along with several others. Has developed his own martial
arts system, the Wolfdragonne system. Extremely proficient with sword and
firearms. Carries a Masume original katana (highest qual.) v.often, if not
always, and a .50 Desert Eagle, modified, with a smart-gun link (kindof out-
dated, yes, but still powerful as all drek and so heavily modified that an
antique gun buff would have trouble recognizing it. Other than that, his
weapondry assortment is mission-variable.

archetype: Tough to pin down, street samauri would be the closest.

other info-- proficient decker, ususally has a moderate to good quality deck
on him at all times. Was able to crash the Annapolis systems back when he was
a student there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
name-- Megann McKinney

Appearance-- Not really the type to blend into the crowds at all. Slim, built,
attactive red-head, @ 5'11". Never has a "regular" assortment of clothing,
but is often in formal wear (evening gowns and such), as her missions often
require it, but is comfortable in mil. uniforms (one of those few women that
can make a BDU look sexy [battle dress uniform]). Fond of the color black,
often seen wearing it. On missions, usually wears black or subdued urban camo
fatigues (mission-depending).

combat info-- High skilled martial artist, learned many different systems in
the past, most proficient in the Wolfdragonne system as she helped Orion An-
tilles develop it. Rated best in her class in marksmanship, usually carries
a modified Predator Two on full combat missions, smaller and more concealable
firearms on cover missions. Has a extremely high qual. Tanto knife which was a
gift from Orion Antilles. It is extremely valuable to her and one of the few
possessions she holds dear, for it symbolized alot for them in the past. She
does not hesitate to use it, however, for it IS one of the finest knives she's
ever used. She often carries 3-4 throwing daggers on her at a time as well.
She has that unique ability to make almost ANYTHING into a bomb, as well.


Archtype: See note for Orion, same situation.


other info-- Very proficient pilot, former test pilot.

So what race is he?

from the looks of it, he is ANOTHER spike baby Elf, otherwise he is atleast
70-80 years old (figure he was born in the 70's - 80's)


just what is it about REALLY old characters anymore? People seem to be going
back to the MY character is REALLY old type thing and REALLY good at what he
does because he is so old.

I can understand wanting to have someone who would have grown up in the same
time as you do know, but does it seem to be appearing more now than earlier year
nad semester. We seemed to have the same occurance last spring with a rash of
spike babies and vampires, but it got toned down some.

Nothing against this type character really, many of them have a lot of character
and seem to be well thouhgt out, it just seems to get old and focusing on one up
manship (my character is older and better).
