Ah, yes; characters.  The fictional entities about whom we're capable of fondly reminiscing for hours at a time, reliving the moments of their daring adventures and narrow escapes.  When a character is well-developed enough, the player can almost become that character with little to no effort, actually believing that he is "Lord (Violent Name)," and there's nothing wrong with that.  Really. Okay, maybe that person has suffered various mental injuries of varying degrees and should be carted away.  But as long as that person had fun doing so, there's nothing wrong with that.      Just as long as he stays the hell away from me.

Theoretically, a character could have enough depth to be role-played, and cared about, to the extent mentioned above.  For one reason or another, be it good or bad, this is unlikely to happen to any of us.  So, join me in my journey (or, dare I say it, likely futile attempt)  to protray the players in the little saga that is our Shadowrun universe.

Characters presented in basically chronological order for either convenience's or confusion's sake; whichever you want.
