Real Name: Lisa Luksus (never used in War as far as I can recall) Nicknames: Tok Email: tokaara@mindspring.com Origin: Chicago, Illinois Gender: Female Height: 5'6" Weight: never mind that :-) Eyes: blue Hair: long and blonde, most always worn in one long braid Other Distinguishing Features: always wearing my glasses (if I want to see anything, that is). Normally accompanied by one or more cats (either vamp-kitties or the mortal ones). Never -- let me repeat that -- NEVER sing or hum the song "Fly Like An Eagle" in my presence. Lived next to someone in my college dorm freshman year who played that song morning, noon and night for weeks; even after more than 20 years, it still makes me twitch. In War context, it may cause acts of violence or at least get the vamp-kitties sicced on ya. :-) Clothing: casual, whenever possible. Jeans or shorts, depending on weather. T-shirt/sweathshirt with some kind of cat-related design on it. Sneakers are my preferred footwear. If I have to go fancier, I still prefer slacks over skirts when I can get away with it. Lots of black in my wardrobe, both other colors do make an appearance. Resources: Lots of tarot decks & books, office supplies, stitching supplies, and the Cousinly Kitties. Skills: Computer programming, fiction writing, tarot reading, singing, cross-stitching. Used to play AD&D a lot. Tenacity and persistence -- I'll argue with anyone (well, almost) for the right cause. Cousinly Kitties: Vamp-kitties are Gandalf, Merlin, Tirian and Toshi. Gandalf: large (18 pounds) grey male, gold eyes. Personality-wise, think Garfield. Merlin: not quite as large (15 pounds) brown tabby male, green eyes. Pretty laid-back. Tirian: golden tabby, male. Toshi: black, male. All the vamp-kitties are here to memorialize kitties who in RL have passed on. Gandalf and Merlin were mine, Tirian and Toshi belonged to one of the Dark Knighties. Gandalf is the most senior of the vamp-kitties and the leader of the pack. Vamp-kitties are smart and can communicate telepathically with humans when they choose to. Mortal kitties are Willow, Duncan and Zorro. Willow: petite (7.5 pounds) grey female, gold eyes. Five years old. Girl of definite opinions, my Willow. Piss her off and she *will* let you know. Duncan: large (15 or 16 pounds) black male with a small white spot on his chest and larger white spots under his forelegs and on his belly; gold eyes. Fairly laid-back most of the time, but can be mischevious. In War 9 (whenever it was the glowing pink rats first appeared), dear Duncan dropped a glowing pink rat corpse on the General's head and survived. :-) Zorro: medium-sized (10 pounds?) orange tabby male, white chest, white feet. Gold/green eyes. This kid's got a sense of humor -- think typical little brother or class clown type. The Cousinly kitties are likely to turn up anywhere around CERK. The vamp-kitties will probably venture outside if the occasion calls for it, but the others won't. Hurt them or endanger them at your own peril. If you want to use them in a story, ask me. I'll probably say yes unless they happen to be needed elsewhere, but do ask.
