After years of waiting and gradual bodily degridation, my malfunctioning liver finally gave up the ghost right after Christmas Day, 2007. The fact that I am here, now, updating this page is a pretty clear indication that the liver transplant that happened at the end of the year 2007 was a success.
However, I still have a long way to go. Adjustments need to be made. And where we go from here, not even I can say...

Long: A Rennfaire Strength Tester isn't where one would expect to find a member of the Valkyrior... unless said Valkyrie is Gudrun Truemace. Here, she's taking some time off while still mostly in her uniform, ready to give the strength tester a piece of her mind. (Here's hoping she doesn't total it...)

Long: Herlod may be short by Valkyrie standards, but she's no pushover, and what she lacks in height she makes up in tenacity and explosive potential. Which, considering that she's the Valkyrior combat engineer/demolitionist, is perfectly understandable. After all, there's no problem in life that can be remedied with a suitable application of High Explosives...

Long: Not many people would think that a CPA would also have an interest in heavy weaponry and massive explosions. However, in the Decepticon HISS squad (represented by Balustrade), this is not a contradiction in terms.

Long: She isn't officially a part of the HISS Squad, but she hangs out with them often enough that she's usually listed among them. A rarity - a female Decepticon, who likes her job as a fast attack helicopter.

Long: Leading a semi-legal mercenary force is hard work, which is why Maia and Miranda Sterling always take advantage of opportunities to relax on the beach. Hey, just because they were born, raised, and went to work onboard a starship doesn't mean they don't appreciate the sun, sand, and surf... especially if they have reading material to tide them over.

Long:During the tail end of the Forth the Nine Riders campaign, there was an increasing tendency for the main characters (and their relatives) to be stuck with a sudden onset of god(dess)-hood. This never happened to Shiori, but if it had happened, she would've done her damnedest to make sure it happened on her terms, and nobody else's. Here, then, is an expression of Shiori's full potential, reflecting her heritages and choices, as a Goddess of Light and Shadow. (look here for a clearer non-framed version.)

Long: As two of the founders of Mars Division, Maia and her twin sister Miranda Sterling often have to serve as the public face of the organization. To this end, they have arranged for the Dress uniforms for officers to provide the maximum visual impact and impressiveness -- while not reducing their functionality or range of movement.
