i was just reading Street Legends, they say Bull is a n orc, i remember him being a troll, i just read the novel again last year. anyone want to explain, maybe it's the BTL acting up , i don't know..
-
Actually Bull is a guy livin....wait, I forgot what last time. Nevermind.
J/K
Which novel are you referring to? If I knew what your source of reference, in this case confusion, was mebbie myself or someone else could help.
-
Long as I've known, Bull's always been an orc, what with the whole 'Best orc decker you've never met!' tagline and all.
-
You know, there's probably a lot of 'Runners out there with the street handle "Bull".
Significantly less with the street handle "Cow", on the other hand.
-
Have you SEEN Bull?
Yeah, he's an Orc and proud of it too.
-
Also, the "first" Bull was a poster in Shadowtech. I don't recall if there were any details on this Bull.
-
Ork. With a "k". :)
Orks with a "c" are green, stupid, and chase hobbits or D&D adventurers around.
Orks with a "K" carry cyberdecks or drive giant Stompas. And carry big fraggin' guns.
And Bull's always been an ork :) But with a name like Bull, I can see how you'd expect horns.
(I don't remember there being a Troll named Bull in any of the novels, but it's been a LONG time since I've read some of them, so it's possible. It's certainly not the most unique handle.)
Bull
-
Orks...are...stupid.
Bull
You heard it here, folks!
-
Now I want to see Bull in an adventure doing a "Big Damned Heroes" scene in a Stompa!
Painted red, of course.Orks...are...stupid.
Bull
You heard it here, folks!
That's right, misquote Bull.
I'm just going to be standing over here. Farther, farther, there we go. Hopefully the splash from his Panther Assault Cannon hitting you won't get on my clothing.
-
Misquote nothin'. I just applied a little delete-key editing, removed a few superfluous words, that sort of thing. For clarity!

Kinda like how movies will "edit" reviews so they get great taglines.
Commercial: "XXXX was ... fantastic ... !" - Roger Ebert
What he actually said: "XXXX was a piece of fantastically bad crap!"
-
Oh right, I remember that. My English instructors called it "Creative Editing", I called it "Lying". She didn't correct me. :P
-
Yes, Bull is an ork. In other news, the sky is blue. : )

And you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup.
Hey, Dunkie himself confirmed it on his third episode. Some fourth grader wrote in and asked.

Well then. This should be fun.

Critias just got Hacked, didn't he?

Heh..I once knew a Decker with some serious Street Cred...the kind where young punks come gunning for you. One day, I am talking to the Decker, and he mentions that one of the aforementioned young punks actually got into one of his systems, and was bragging about it.
Of course, I asked him "What did you do in retaliation?!" - actually dreading to hear the answer, as I could only imagine the terrible and swift vengeance of a Prime Runner would be the stuff of nightmares.
The Decker just smiled, and said "Nothing."
It took me a second, then I realized...it was the cruelest revenge of all.

And that, chillen', is why you don't slot with Deckers. They're smart and sneaky fraggers!

The enemy of my enemy is a great weapon to point in the direction of my enemy.
-
first,...
bull, sorry for the typo..i meant ork, it was late..
second, my mistake, i was thinking of the book changling and the character was Peter Clarris, whose history very closely mirrors Bull's..ass to that, the art on the cover always looked like an ack, not a troll, so i was wondering..
-
Speaking of orks, did anyone else think Slamm-O was an ork? Up until I read that little mini-story about him hitting on Netcat on a college campus, I'd always pictured Slamm-O with tusks.

Nope. ;)

Aw...guess I'm alone there. I wish there was more metavariety in shadowtalkers...seems like it's dominated by humans, orks, and elves. Where are the dwarves and trolls?
-
Goat Foot is a Satyr, 2XL is a troll, Cerberus/Neurosis is the dragon Eliohann, Hannibelle is a ghoul, Baka Dabora is a SURGEd human. Others remain behind the anonymity of the Matrix. ;)
-
Because the majority of the people with major access to the Matrix before Crash 2.0 were Humans and Elves due to their developed nations, and Orks are a high number due to their birth rates. :P
And everyone overlooks Dwarves. It's so easy, them being so short and all.
-
Lyran is a dwarf.
-
I know that there are some, I just think it'd be nice if there were more, that's all. :D
-
Next you'd want a Centaur or a Naga on board, too! :P
-
Don't be ridiculous.
Pixies gotta represent, though. :P
-
Actually, a Centaur would be a good poster, I bet. And getting a Naga's point of view on Bogota! (AKA: War!) would have been interesting.
-
Dwarves and Trolls are such a small part of the population that it's darn hard to be a Runner... You're chasing a masked Dwarf, he ducks into a bar, you walk in with a badge, pull rank ... and see that there are only two Dwarves in the place, one of which is a gal... well, kinda easy to know who to arrest.
That said, there are a few out there, just not memorable enough to be in Street Legends.
Mind you, I have ideas for a Dwarven Mafia plotline.
Then again, I also have somewhere in storage a Troll (Giant) variant who played Sif on a Scandanavian TV show about Thor. After the WInternight thing, the show was closed down and they were left looking for work. She wound up moving to Seattle and opening a REALLY Big and Tall shop that caters to a Troll clientel. Everybody is welcome, of course, with Orks shopping in the "Children" section. :) Good for meets with Johnson, too, if only for the image of the big team muscle people sitting in chairs, swinging their feet and never touching the ground.
