I used to have a small chin beard, but now the fire department makes me
shave it, so the most beard I have is whatever I can grow in a week. (read:
just starting to look good, and off it comes.)

For some reason I always picture all you guys having
beards; are we all the same or is there some variation
between Shadowrun players?

I don't have a beard!!! I only have to shave my legs,
not my face!!! (Female) And yes, the Tom and Tom Juice
Guys have said that Guy can mean either gender in
their commercials...

I used to have a beard, but I had to shave it when I got my current job as a

You know, that might actually be some sort of flaw...

Heh. You know how many of the younger guys on the list are deciding not
to grow a goatee cause you said that? :)

Godammit! I finally find a girl who likes my beard after I'm not allowed to
have it anymore...

There 'aint no justice.

On topic, that could be kind of generalized flaw, the Fetish. A guy can't
bring himself to hurt a sec guard if the guard happens to be an Asian woman,
or something along those lines. I can't think of what the rules would be
though... would probably depend on what the fetish is.

What do you mean NOT to grow one? :)

Missed that one. I have a kind of beard; more a lack of shaving actually.

I migrated to a goatee from a mustache (that I've had since I was 17). A
beard itches too much, but I also shave at most once a week.

I must admit that I did it for looks, but I have also found that it
increases the perceived threat level. I don't know why but people seem to be
more intimidated since I let it grow in. I also go for the chrome gargoyles
look too. To me if you can emit a subtle physical message of "don't mess
with me" things tend to go smoothly when out and about. I guess it is the
same goal of the tailored pheromones in SR, except they are far more
flexible. Of course it should be of no surprise that my favorite character
in SR (Smilin' Jack) has chrome cybereyes, a goatee, and pheromones (the
list goes on).

You could have a chivalrous male runner; one suitably old fashioned that he
would never hit a woman no matter what she pops out of her knuckles and aims
at him. That would be one hell of a flaw.

I am forever clean-shaven, for what it's worth. Never pondered or wanted any
sort of facial hair.

It's a moot point, I seem to recall Raveness mentioning she was taken.

My husband had a beard once--a nice fluffy one, too. But his college buddies
laughed so hard at him he ended up shaving all but his moustache off. Of
course, when your hair is a nice dark brunette and your beard is a lovely
shade of flaming red.................

But seriously, they consider beards to be "unprofessional" looking.
(Unprofessional meaning "not uniform".) Plus some forms of beard cause a bad
seal with the air masks...so, since they can't really specify the "types" of
beard that are not allowed they forbade any and all facial hair except
moustaches.

Ack! Mark, I cannot begin to imagine you with any kind of facial hair.
Granted your face has probably changed since I last saw you some, what, 8
years ago? But still... ack! :)

As for me, it is impossible for me to grow a moustache, beard, sideburns,
goatee, anything... just not in the genes. My last attempt at facial hair,
1 1/2 weeks without shaving after my eye surgery, resulted in a fantastic
approximation of mange. :) One of my co-workers ever-so-tactfully made
this clear by exclaiming, "Oh my God, Dan, what is that on your chin?!
Ewww! EWWWW!!!"

My face seems to be incapable of producing a good beard. It's all patchy and
crap (and the hairs are all thick and wirey).

On the other hand, if I were a superhero, my power would be to grow a goatee
unfeasibly quickly. I regularly go bald faced (the better to lie), and it
takes about four days for it to look like a goatee, nine to look like it's
been there for years. Yes, I timed it.
I suppose that is God's way of making up for giving me a chin that resembles
the prow of a phoenecian warship, instant coverup.

Oh, I know that feeling. My face does a passable

a week or so. I get hairs that could scour a frypan

Mine aren't that bad. Dark brown hair to my shoulder blades, dark brown/red
beard/mo (I'm not strange, just eccentric :). Both got started as a simple
lack of cutting/shaving. I just got attached to them both over time.

But if you think about it, beards usually make men
look older and could possibly give more credance to
what the person is saying rather than a smooth younger
looking man. Most people think age=experience. *shrug*

But then you've also got that wild man factor *GRIN*

Thinking about what someone said about having a beard
making them look tougher, I was watching Hercules the
other day and Ares (who regularly wears a goatee and
looks really bad, he's the god of war is supposed to)
played as the god of love in a paralel universe and
they took his goatee off and it really did make him
look a lot less intimidating.

Oh, kilts! My God! The sexiest thing I've ever seen on
a man is a kilt! (I can't imagine a woman not liking
to see a man in a real kilt) The wondering if he's
wearing it correctly (no undershorts) and the ability
to just reach... mmmmmmmmmmm Higland festival is
coming up soon too I think...
Man I need Chris now...(scottish and has a goatee,
he's already told me he's marrying me for my
roleplaying book collection as it's bigger than his)

"Actually," Eyeguy says, trying desperately for an excuse, "I got tired of
blowing it dry. And it wasn't that bright a red...."

"More like Lucille Ball orange?" Willow replies, giggling. "And yes,
Tobias;
I do like red beards........just not the shade my husband produces."

No Beard, but a two day growth come every weekend. Old habit of being in the
military. God it is so good not to HAVE to shave to go to work.

Well, I know I've spent about $3,000 in under a year
at the local gaming store and Chris knows he shouldn't
buy any gaming books until he's found out if I have
them or not. I have:
2 milk crates of: AD&D,
1 milk crate of: Shadowrun, (Chris has the ones I
don't have)
1 milk crate of assorted: Torg, GURPS, White Wolf,
Earthdawn and misc gaming books.
