Like it wasn't beforehand. And oh, by the way, do you actually mean "history?"

Like there are no other characters on Shadowtk that don't have lots of history.
I can think of several characters on the list that had a lot of history that
didn't need to incorporate stuff that wasn't in Shadowrun.

Sorry Mr. Skirvin, I do not agree with this logic. *grin* As you proved so
elegantly earlier, there is no such thing as too late for something. I do not
even attempt to deny that you created a history for him. But unless there is
strong motivation for the contrary, I do not particularly feel there is a need
for the Enemy, or the Horrors more than what has already been incorporated.
We aren't creating stories for Earthdawn here. But again I will repeat what I
said earlier, "This whole discussion is very amusing."

I will stay with my earlier comment, you don't need what FASA has created in
Earthdawn to be creative in Shadowrun. Period.
