Binder is ... old ... he doesn't really know his true age anymore. But he's
not immortal, he just lived with a twisted curse for a while. For those who
understand this term, he's something of a "Slider", and isn't even sure where
"Home" really is anymore either. Erik, why do you think he studied Metamagic
so heavily when we did that "bit convo" in the bar? He is looking still ...

Prophet (for those of TK that remember him ;) is a kid, who looks older than
he is (actually 16, but thanks to genetics, he's mid 20's physically).

Shivowtnoeh. Good ol' Shivy. My first SR character. The Siberian Shaper
Tiger Hermetic Magician. Yes, for those lucky TK people, the -BIG CAT- was
me, he just never spoke up. In the original game timeline, he died of "old
age" at about 48 or so. He was started at age 39. He was the one true "Force
of Nature" I ever allowed myself to go animate with in a game. Sometimes I
wish I could -really- play him again. (oh the the one true longing for First
Edition that I have)
