Holy Crap! This thread got looooong. 
Thank you all for the input. I have been really busy for a while and, alas I haven't been able to visit the forums until today.

[Ancient History]

For what it's worth, I was there when what became the Dawn of the Artifacts was being drafted, and I ended up writing the blueprint for the (now dropped) sequel, Harlequin's Gambit. I was signed up to write half the book, and we were in first drafts when I left. You can read the drafts online here:

• Ch. 2 London Calling
• Ch. 4 End of Journey
• Cast of Shadows

Craaaaap, AH is here...now I can't pretend to be the know-it-all when it comes to Shadowrun metaplot

[trea5on]

i think there's a billion storylines involving harlequin that could be put to ink, and most, if not all, be pretty damn entertaining.

[dodger]

I agree that there could be MANY stories/ adventures about H, and they would b
E a good read. I hope that he gets some love in Artifacts unbound as even though I got started in Shadowrun before ED was around and loved it, it's the far-reaching metaplot that keeps me addicted to the game.

There's a billion stores in the naked city, and none of them even remotely interesting as the multiple untold stories of the naked immortal elf.   

[Bull]

A billion stores?  Hrmm...  That'd be cool.  You could buy ANYTHING if you found the right store then.  Unless they're all Wal-Mart or something.

[CanRay]

Everything you could want...  Except clothes.  It's the naked city after all.

Lots of options for shoes and boots, however.

Shadowrun the Fourth Age -

Where your characters are outcasts, living iand working in the pseudo-medieval Emerald City. Through no fault of their own they are on the outside of society and are forced to take illegal jobs from various merchant princes, dragons and elven lords competing for scarce resources with no concern for the damage they are doing to the manasphere or the harm they may cause the common man. An entire subcaste of outcasts merchants known as Fixers set up the meetings between these Runners (so called because they are on the run from the law) with repsresentatives of the merchants known as Sir Johnson (because Johnson is still a generic name in the Fourth Age). Runners accept payment only in the anonymous currency of gold while constantly trying to stay off the radar of various surveillance magics and the Knights Errant.

Im going to create temporarily Alchera over Seattle with this setting. I just love the idea.

Also, a character can elect to "push" their abilities by sacrificing some strain (small amount of damage) to get a +3 bonus to any kind of test.  If they really need something to work they can take a blood wound, physically harming themselves and getting a Wound (a longer term penalty that they suffer after the test), in order to get a +7 bonus to a single test.

I see where this is comming from: Kurt Cobain putting a bullet through his head to became legend...

(appology to fans)

OK, Jack, so aside from the fact that IE's never age, is there any difference between them and normal elves? And how can they tell, anyway? Do they all get the "spot other immortal" skill?

I think they've all officially got Immunity (Aging) and Immunity (Disease), as far as game stats go. 

Well Chuck Norris not only posess both qualities, but  in addition his tears even heal cancer, too bad he never cried...does it mean he is ...oh god...he is herrrrrargh

Yeah, since I posted that link, it's been taken down.

But, do not worry, my boy Sherman! We have the Wayback Machine:  Time Travel to 2009!
