[ThoughtBubble]

Name: Daniel

Description: I'm about 5'9" last I checked. Thin frame, with a lean build, small but well defined musculature. I've got good posture while standing, but slouch horrifically when sitting. I have an angular face and high cheekbones over a long neck. My dark brown (almost black) hair is wildly curly. Fortunately it doesn't stick up quite so much anymore, so I don't look like a total mad scientist, but it does have some frizz to it. My hair is at that horrid length now where the moment I step outside, a breeze will lift errant strands of hair up to stay at some odd angle until I can get to a sink to comb it into place. I've got a pair of well defined, sharp eyebrows over a pair of brooding brows, and dark brown (almost black) eyes adorned with ridiculous lashes that always seem to get caught in my eyes. I've got full lips, and a nose with a bump in the center of the bridge. I've always got this ridiculous five-o-clock shadow. I've got tan skin, though the indoor life has been playing havoc with that, and I'm not as dark as I used to be. When I'm not at work or failing to impress the girls, I'm typically dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, and my not-so-lucky hooded half trechcoat. I'm usually wearing a pair of brown leather boots that have gotten just past the point where they should have been cleaned. And I've got this battered, taped up bright red backpack that I seem to take with me everywhere.

Notes: I went with dedicated because I've always had my father's strong intuition and empathy, but more of my mom's practicality. There have always been times when I'd just unwaveringly know I'm right, and times when I knew things I couldn't explain. My other options are likely strong and fast, as I did Kung-Fu, and Gymnastics farily heavily for most of my life, and have always been in some sport. When I look back on my more physical activities, I always find that I did well because of a combination of quick speed, incredible focus, and a weird ability to tell when someone was about to blink (even under a fencing mask). Since I went into computer science, it seems like smart is a good choice, but I found out that I simply don't go about things in the same way that all the smart people do. I'd love to be charismatic, and at times I have a striking personality (oh, and rugged good looks too ) but I have far too much of a tendancy to remain the quiet guy in the back. Oh, I'm very introspective, but I'm sure that's obvious.

[neoweasel]

Name: Andrew Stoner
Age: 26 years
Height: 5'8.5"
Weight: 165 lbs
Occupation: White Collar (Computer Tech - Computer Use and Knowledge(Technology))
Hair: Sandy Brown, to the middle of my back, pulled into a ponytail that has an irritating tendency to curl
Eyes: Blue
General appearance: Bulky frame (not overweight, mind you, rather a college athlete gone a little soft), black fatigue pants, well-polished and -worn combat boots, a black T-shirt and a black leather jacket.

A little like this, only wearing different clothes.

While I recognize that nearly everyone has chosen or will choose Smart hero, I felt that it was the only class that adequately allowed for the incredible breadth (though not NEARLY as incredible depth) of experiences and skills that I have managed to aquire over my life. To tell the truth, none of the other classes made a great deal of sense to me as my SOLE character class to start. I'd also like to explain the reason that both of my chosen feats are Weapon Proficiencies. I've been shooting various small arms since before I turned 10. I've shot bows since I was 7 and have been using other archaic, non-Simple weapons for the last 10 years. I also have assumed that it is going to be a fairly combat-lite game from some of the things you have posted, and don't really think that they'll come in handy all that often.
