format. This is before revisions. I've told the player of a few things I want
revised and am waiting on him to get back to me.
In typing it in I ended up sending him 2 more emails on things that needed revision
(like his spells at force 7, and his contacts... 3 of them were high level initiates.
One moved all the way from europe to be next to him but is only a level 2 contact...)
Here's the sheet:

SInce I've just typed it in I haven't yet disabled the Geocities popup (normally
I use geoguide instead since it puts the popup into the window rather than as
a new window.)
It lacks the text on the contacts.
The player's definately creative. He just has to get over being a mostly D&D
player. But there's potential in this character idea if I can get him to make
the proper revisions (read: tone it down) before we drive each other nuts. :)
Here's the contacts text:
Contacts:
Level 2 - 'Lucifer,' Enchanter/Talismonger. Richard's Guide toward the arts
magical and closest friend Lucifer was the first true ShadowRunner he had ever
met. And he has met few like him. Lucifer is an obvious result of rather creative
cosmetic surgery. His true race is indeterminate. His skin has been changed
to a deep red pigmentation. Horns grow out of his forehead, his chin has been
elongated, and his eyes are red with yellow pupils. He has chosen to portray
himself as the Devil incarnate, just to get his jollies out of scaring christians.
He plays his part remarkably well and has currently shaved his long black hair
to take on a new 'punk' sort of look. He has numerous piercings(not all visible)and
dresses almost universaly in black skin-tight leather, often with studs. He
is a patron of alternate lifestyles and a rather extravegant extrovert. He
takes the greatest pleasure in corrupting innocent young catholic school girls(and
it is rumoured, occasionaly, boys)and attending the worship at numerous devout
temples and churches to witness the reactions of the clergy and parishoners.
Lucifer is also, however, a Grade 4 Initiate of the Horned Man. He likens
his idol to that of Loki and has a strong, personal, Nordic bent. He engages
in no end of mischief whenever possible and likes nothing better than to shock
those around him. He is boisterous, lecherous, and lewd. Often doing his best
to provoke those around him. His deep cockney accent is often used to draw
the most out of the dirty, or disgusting, jokes he favors. He never turns down
a fight and is wont to occasionaly start one himself, his skinny frame is said
to hold lanky muscles of great and beguiling strength, however. He is fiercely
loyal to his true friends, few that they may be(though his sycophantic party-goers
are many). Indeed, Lucifer followed his friends move from Britain as Richard
was banished by his family to become an ex-patriot residing in an underground
dive in Seattle.
Lucifer runs a Tattoo parler in one of the more punkish regions of the city,
and deals with illegal and highly valuable Talismongery from the back. Lucifer
is an exquisite Artist and is nearly worshiped by the various cliques which
respond to that particular art form. Lucifer is a masterful worker of enchanting
and anchoring magics as well, specializing in physical enhancements, and is
sought after as well by those in the know. He takes great pride in his work
and invest significant amounts of power within his creations.
Level 2 - Daniel Son of the Sun, Shaman of the Sun and Politician. A half
breed from the Salish-Shide nation, Daniel never thought himself readily acceptable
by the full blooded Indians who made up the power figures amoung the Native
Americans. His white father, a park ranger, still resides withing the Salish-Shide.
Daniel, however, always wanted more out of his life and seemed a born pubic
figure. Daniel has started small but his charming personality and beaming smile
has readily won him the support of Seattle. Daniel has won a position on the
board of supervisors of Seattle for his area and seeks higher public office.
One day he hopes to run Seattle. His prospects in public office seem bright.
Daniel while appearing to respect the Mjor Corporations, actually shares PenDragon's
opinion of them as a danger to society. He has often secretly aided PenDragon
in his many Quests. Providing bonuses and bankrolling PenDragon when no one
else would in his own personal crusade. Daniel still maintains strong allies
and friendships in the NAN and even more so the Salish-Shidhe and can provide
aid from those nations and access to thier lands. Daniel is also a bit of a
media hound as a public figure and has may friends amoung the media.
Daniel is a tall blond haired, blue eyed, adonis with the naturaly sun darkened
skin of a Native Americn mother.
(This is all assuming that Seattle stil has some form of Government. Otherwise
we'll have to move him elsewhere, or back into the NAN or Salish Shidhe. Or
perhaps a Corporation PR Man who hates lying to conceal the evils of his Corp
and hoping to escape to public office.)
Level 2 - Lady Pandora Winter, Albino Fox Shapeshifter Wu Jen. The beguiling
Lady Winter has kept PenDragon attention for as long as he has known her. Distinctly
infatuated with the women half of his size he keeps her amused with his dashing
and driven ways. Lady Pandora runs an upper echelon techno club(with high ceilings)for
the asian community, 'Pandora's Box.' Rumored to have the ear of both the Yakuza
and the Triads Pandora plays a dangerous balencing game, which she seems to
always come out on top of. She is a Level 2 Initiate with and outstanding ability
with Conjuring, Detection and Tracking, Foretelling and Prediction, and knowledge
of the Planes. She is said to dabble in Talismongery, providing many ingrediants
for the Asian community, as well as others.
Lady Winter occasionaly calls upon he 'great knight' and seems to preen in
his presence. Using him to enforce discipline amoung those in her establishment,
fetch the occasional ingrediant, guard her as she ventures into the planes,
or attempts to summon anything she may not be able to ensure control of, and
generaly look menacing around her.
Lady winter is a tall(6'3")asian woman of smoothly young face, but indeterminate
age. She is impecably groomed and startlingly beautiful. With silver skin
and a cascade of snowy white hair. She may assume the form of a Snow Fox, but
few no of this as she rarely reveals her unique nature.
Level 1 - Phelan, Tavern Owner. Phelan is a massive human magical adept
belonging to the shamanic idol worship of Fenrir. The man is known to dress
in furs and pack a great deal of magicaly enhanced strength behind him. He
has thrown trolls and lifted cars, and id a great man to avoid when upset.
Phelan is know to possess a great Combat Axe, believed to be a weapon foci,
and be quite skilled a combat magics. His favorites seem to be thunderous or
lightning based, however, to suit his Stormy personality. He has been known
to silence rowdy patrons with a great clap of thunder and cloak himself behind
a shroud of electrical might when in combat dealing death with his own electrical
aura. As an Initiate Phelan has been known to deal with fellow mages forcefully,
reflecting thier own spells back upon them while he hewes with his mighty axe.
Phelan runs the drinking hole christened 'Valhalla' in the Ork Underground.
His employees are usually Orks if not Trolls and the entire wood-finished establishment
has a decidedly Nordic appearance. The employees dress as Vikings, as do some
of the clientelle. The establishment features frequent brawls, thick ale, and
usually roast beast poached from the Salish-Shidhe forests surrounding Seattle.
Phelan has a growing respect of his frequent patron Richard Whimsey and
Level 1 - Logos Karameeko, Minotaur Shaman of Bull and Club Owner. Logos
is the smooth and presumptuous owner of the 'Mycene' and club for those of a
romantic and daring nature. A favorite not only of the greek community but
of the hispanics as well, for Logos fancies himself a Matador. He styles himself
as such and dresses appropriately. Even going so far as to have a live bull
and small ring upon the club's premises for those brave enough to try their
luck. The Bull is never killed, however, and is said to be cyberneticaly altered
to allow it to be made tranquil and suggestible when needed. Waivers of course
are signed before entering the ring, and the occasionaly death or maiming has
been known(and happily marked on a wall, filmed, and related later). Simsense
and BTL of the experience has been known to be passed within the club for the
less physicaly inclined.
Logos owns the entire block his club resides on. And while the club is closed
for a good part of the day, he manages a Greek Restaurant and Catering establishment
on the opposite side of the block. A high-class dining establishment, favored
by those with the money to spend on appearances. It is always well-booked come
supper-time by corporate men and the power-brokers or entertainment icons of
the city. Earlier in the day it caters Pastries and such to walk-ins however,
in addition to serving coffee.
Logos is a tall, and for a minotaur, hansome. He dresses creatively and colorfully
to display his muscled physique. He is vain but an excessively friendly and
hospitable host. He has a fine business and has many contacts amoung the Hispanic
and Greek communities, especially in the smuggling and gun running rings. Logos
while not an Initiate is a master of Controling Manipulations in addition to
Physical Enhancements and Illusions, especially of a... 'different' nature.
NightCrawler would love him
