I've done the layout for a picture of the party. I need physical descriptions from each of you as to what you think your character looks like. I know you're all wearing desert gear, but that would make for a boring picture, so I need to know what everyone's armor and weapon of choice is. I have the body language down already, just need your input and we can post it here on our homepage for all to see.

Name: Vulf Sandblazer.
Height: 5'8" Weight: 160lbs
Black Fremen desert garb, loose fitting black cloak with hood, always drawn up to shield his face from the sun. He carries a Heavy Repeating X-Bow. It has a prominent 5 bolt magazine mounted on the top of the frame. Morningstar hangs at his belt. Small Viper Familiar over one shoulder.
Demeanor: Confident and cautious. His cold steel gaze is almost always squinted with suspiscion of outsiders or danger, or perhaps it is the desert daylight glare he protects his Fremen eyes against.

Name: Grummush Eyeslasha
Height: 6'11" Weight: 265lbs (Masculine Build)
Before he was transported to Dune: Breastplate armor, with a great falchion [For picture look in yer Desert Book.] tied to his back in a leather sheath, To his side is a dagger also sheathed in a leather bound belt, and next to his great falchion is a usually wrapped up Ork Battleaxe [Gift from his father, background story to be posted on this subject.], His armor is branded on the chest, two shoulders, and on the left peice of metal attached to his leg (Finishing the breastplate) are all decorated with the Sigil of Harkonnen.
Demeanor: Proud, Foolhearty, Gun-Ho. A broad grin is what usually adorns his face, even if his gaze usually conceals a blood-lust for those that annoy him [Atreides], and he usually has his short gray hair spiked up to help the blood stay out of it, although it might be matted due to the fact he is now in dune, and he needs his hair to keep the dust from it [Yes I know we have the desert suits, but were not waring them in this picture are we?]. The Most common posture he is in is with his arms folded, and his legs together.

Very good. You may both take 25 exp. for putting thought into your characters. As they say, God is in the details. I'll begin adding these details to each of your characters.
Still waiting for the rest of you...I'd like to have this pic ready for the next Dune session on January 20th. I'll also be sending it to Joseph for our page heading.

Name: Gurdh't Loins Height: 3'8" Weight: 40 lbs.
Originally he was equiped with +1 leather armor with very simplistic leather leggings, boots, and gloves. Around his neck lies a small necklace (simple leather strings attached to a square silver piece) with a strange symbol on it. The significance of the markings are known only to the Bene Tleilax, but upon initial inspection the square appears to depicts a hooked hammer with some strange script both above and below it. He currently wields a sinister looking Hooked Hammer. He is bald with no facial hair and has sharpened teeth (think Nosferatu-like).

That works...I had already drawn him that way for the most part. Take 25 exp for the write up and another 25 exp for mentioning Nosferatu...I had already described him that way....lol.

Tai appears very powerful but not herculean. He is an extremely agile fighter and while strength and endurance training were vital parts of his upbringing too much mass would be more of a liability in combat. That said the average man would only need a single look to know this guy could easily break him in half.
His head is shaved bald. In less extreme environments he wears a sleeveless studded brown leather armor with studded leather bracers. His arms are otherwise bare save for two crossed swords burned into his left arm. His pants and boots are your standard adventurer/explorer's stuff.
Demeanor: Highly Focused and determined. Not an angry or generally mean/crass guy. Just has a job to do and until its completed everything else is just noise.

I don't know if it's too late for this or not, but . . .
Orotha is young, but has the appearance of being hardened beyond his years. He has a scar across his right cheek and a burn mark on his left forearm. Though, his skin is rather pale (a result of living in underground caves most of his life), so the scars may be difficult to see. He keeps his hair cropped short. Long hair just gets tangled and can be a vulnerability in combat. He stands average height for a man, but is powerfully built. Mechanics come somewhat naturally for him, and he can fix a few things. However, his strength is his strongest attribute and he's not afraid to get dirty. He's pretty handy in combat, but he won't foolishly charge into it. He knows when to keep his head low, and when to knock out the guy next to him.
Orotha is also devoted to his Ixian lineage. He'll proudly display his house colors and markings, and they are emblazoned on his large shield. His scalemail armor provided him the best protection, while still allowing him to use his dexterous ability as best he can. He favors his sword-and-a-half weapon (bastard sword), which is too long to be carried on the hip like a shorter weapon. Therefore, he straps it to his back.
Orotha does not hide the fact that his lower left leg is mechanical. He sees it as a testament to the intelligence and ingenuity of the Ixian people that he can still walk, more than walk - he can still fight, after losing it.

Yeah gary just told me on the phone that the Harkkonen is wearing a speedo, Tai the Swordsmaster has only bare ass chaps covering hardly anything, my guy is for some bizarre reason wearing a large feather headress and indian garb, Orotha is wearing black biker gear, the suk doctor looks like a construction worker and John's Fremen looks like a cop?

Orotha gets 25 exp for character description. Anyone who has not sent a description by now is too late, and at my mercy for character appearance. I'll have the finished product sent off for posting before Sunday's game.

Awesome. As long as I get it by Saturday I can have it ready for anybody to look at Sunday morning before they leave for AGR.
