Agreed Martina is a babe, I don't think I've ever seen Kournikova but my
favorite is Monica Seles.

I usually describe my characters as baing fairly bland (sometimes with
the blandness edge as well), it makes it much better when people can't
quite remember your face. There was this one guy I Gm'd (one of the worst
munch's I've ever met) who always played a "Drop Dead Gorgeous Female
Elven Shaman" She always wore black leather that was fairly revealing (no
the player wasn't 15 either he was 32). He came to hate me for having to
almost constantly having to get plastic surgery cause every guy she ever
bumped into remembered every detail about her.

Hmmm... Duke would be closest to Michael Biehn in either _Aliens_ or
_Terminator_. I'm lucky, I haven't needed more than one PC to date (he's
been rewritten several times, but thankfully the GM hasn't gotten to him
with a Corp Strike Team...yet...)

And his girlfriend/team-mate? Think Ms Parker...
