I'd say your character background would be interesting to read. "Due to an
unfortunate encounter with a rodent in his formative years, Alvin decided to
spend the rest of his life as a grey squirrel. Sure it had it's downsides,
but Alvin had a mindlink with Theodore to maintain his sanity and hey, he
gained a LOT in effectiveness". BTW, would your squirrel want to be paid in
nuyen or would he work for peanuts? Terry
