:D
My girlfriend is awesome. She played Shadowrun this past weekend, and loved it. I'll post about that run later, but I wanted to do something (because she loves pictures) she found me a woman that looked like what she pictured her character as (elven covert ops/weapons specalist/face), and I added ears to it, and she liked it.
Mostly I wanted to brag, but I thought you guys might enjoy the picture too. Elena (the character) is hot. Which was funny in the last run, because everyone else had a charisma of 3, and she had a charisma of 7. So wow.
Anyway, here is the pic, approved by my girlfriend.

Elena V. Ex-Paladin Covert Operative, now hiding somewhere in Seattle.

There I am!
Or, rather, there she is. I don't quite look like that. :)
Yay for covert/facey/weapons specializing characters, though. And for first characters at that. I'm a total newb to Shadowrun - I've been on one real run - but it's a blast. I love it. And I've joined here at the behest of my boyfriend (Kid_Vid). I don't know how often I'll post and stuff, but here I am nevertheless!
Soo... See y'all around!

A hearty welcome!
May your days be full of happy hobbying!
The world always needs new runners. . .
Nice thing about SR is that it just keeps getting better, so enjoy the ride!
-
Welcome E.
Hoping to see more of you.
I'm assuming K_V has given you a short run-down of some of the 'faces' in here?
Otherwise, the (outdated) cast is here (http://houmann.funky.dk/cast/).
-
No, I haven't really told her much about the peeps here.
I mean, it's not like she would have any idea who I'm talking about, anyway. I just made this pic for her (adding elf ears on an already gorgeous model), and I thought I would share it.

Well be sure to tell her she's welcome anytime.
-
Will do. You guys are pretty awesome, and she's starting to love Shadowrun, so I think she'll be fueling her online questions here once her computer gets back up and running.

Hmm... you'd think that a covert-ops gal would wear more body armor...
*shrug* perhaps it's form-fitting.

She sent me the picture, and I doctored the ears without noticing that she was wearing next to nothing. ;D
She laughed when I asked if she wanted me to change it.
-kv
-
Oh, you liar. You found that picture ALL on your own. ;D
-
... and the truth will be heard... ?
-
Okay, so maybe she sent me the name, I and I picked the first Google Image Search entry with a high enough resolution to be fun to mess with. I promise, I didn't even notice how she was dressed until I finished and sent it off to her.
-kv
-
Right.
We believe you.
But remember K_V, a guy who doesn't play with the idea of his gf without too much clothes on... does he really have a gf? Should he maybe get an appointment with a head-doctor?
-
Ooh... that'd be twisted. Naming one of your Multiple Personality Disorder personalities as your 'girlfriend' to your online community?
No, I promise she's real.
This is even what she (and I) look like.

Ahh. Such a flattering picture of both of us. Figures, you use the sexy pictureof the model, but the Full-Mouthed, Red-Eyed picture of me. ;D
Oh, actually. You fixed the red eye. Go honey.
-
Welcome to the Pub, Elena. Hope you post in some of the other threads once you get more comfortable. You may want to start looking at the Magic Secttion since Kid_Vid says you are thinking about going shaman.

Uhhh... actually she has Elena, the covert-ops style girl, and a decker/tech wiz character.
The other people I'm teaching to play, one is a gator shaman, and the other is an aspected mage spellcaster.
-kv
-
I thought you said in the magic thread that it was Elena that was going to be playing a mage/shaman and wanted a decker for her next PC. I was kind of wondering where the covert ops specialist came in. Ok, that explains that. ;)
Gabriel
-
Perhaps that idea came from the same dimension as KV's google search for the model.
I believe you get the same results if you search for
"Hot chixor with almost-no clothes on!"
a coincidence? ... I think not!
-RuskiFace the Pirate
-
Or maybe Kid_Vid's just a bit confusing???
Gabriel
-
but the real question is... is he confusing because he's trying to be sneekey... or is he just confused?
-Ruski

Hey, chummer, he's YOUR brother, you tell me. ;)

In my defense, I didn't know that the woman my girlfriend had picked as who she thought her character looked like is primarily famous in the US for being a lingerie model with Victoria's Secret.
I'm not exposed to that stuff very often, so I had no idea.
-kv

He's telling the truth. I busted his chops earlier, so I have to stick up for him now. :D
Originally, when I was looking over the character archetypes, KV thought I would enjoy playing an adept and/or mage. Some type of magic user. I, however, was intrigued by the Covert Ops Specialist, The Face, and the Weapons Specialist. So with his help, we put together a combination thereof.
As for the picture. I used the same model for another role playing group, and transferred that character's personality and history to my Shadowrun gal. He asked me who I had in mind, in terms of my character's physical appearance (he was thinking Jennifer Garner from Alias), and I told him Gisele Bundchen, aka Ms. Victoria Secret - and girlfriend to Leonardo DiCaprio, I believe. But I'm wandering waaay off topic here. To sum it up: he found the picture, and honestly didn't realize the visibility her so-called top provided until he sent it to me. And I didn't think it warranted any changing.
I like playing attractive characters, what can I say? :D

There. I changed it.
-
Nah, first version was probably better. ;)
Oh, and K_V: make sure to hold onto what you have there...
-
Well, what you need to Kid_Vid, is convice Elena here to actually dress the part of the person whe is supposed to loolk like. That way, you BOTH win. ;)
