The Dalek looks like, well hmmm, he looks like a Dalek. If you know
what a Dalek is, you know what the Dalek looks like (except that
his normal Dalek sidearm has been replaced by a highspeed peanut gun.)

If you don't know what a Dalek is, well, here we go-
The Daleks are a race of cyborgs from the planet Skaro. Originally they
were a humanoid race called the Kaleds, but thanks to a dirty nuclear
war they mutated into a nasty looking crab thing about the size of a cat.
Davros, a mad Kaled scientist, built robotic shells to contain there
creatures, and the results were the Daleks. Davros also genetically
engineered the creatures such to remove all postive emotions.
(The Dalek is of course an exception, having had the positive emotion
part of his brain reactivated be the influence of Callahans place.)

Physically, Daleks are about five feet tall and resemble nothing as 
closely as old fashioned salt shakers. They have three appendages, one  an
eye stalk at the top, the second a manipulator arm that looks kind
of like a plunger, and the third normally an energy weapon.

In RL of course the Dalek (aka David J. Snyder) possesses none of these
traits.  He is nineteen, about 6'4, has usually dishevilled brown hair
(which inevitably needs cutting) and is studying computer science at a
well-known Ivy League University.

Both Daleks were born on 13 April 1973 and both have undetermined
favorite drinks. (The RL one hasn't decided, and the virtual one
is still working on finding a way to get alcohol into his nutrional
intake centers.)

<Magda-wolf introduces herself>

Over by the bar, Magda notices another furry patron. She's about six feet
tall, generally a female human in shape, but she has feline ears, whiskers,
and a tail like a domestic short-haired cat. Her fur is downy,
golden-brown, and covers most of her. The hair on her head is a rather
unlikely shade of cyan blue, with white highlights, is curly and shoulder
length. She's wearing a short dress of black velvet, and a black velvet
choker collar set with a single sapphire.

As Magda moves forward to introduce herself, the feline woman walks up
behind a four-foot-tall, white furred squirrel. Magda shakes her head in
disbelief, because as the cat-woman walks down the length of the bar, she
visibly -shrinks- in height, to just four feet tall. Then she starts
chatting with the squirrel.

A man seated at a table next to Magda chuckles at her reaction. "Hi Magda!
Glad to meet you. My name's Jason. Care to join me for a drink?" Magda
looks at the source of the voice. A male human, in his early 30's or so,
with a dark brown beard and hair tied back in a short pony-tail. He's
wearing a black leather jacket and a black Greek fisherman's cap. She
almost takes him for a normal human, until she notices that the laptop
sized computer on the table in front of him is connected by a 5mm black
cable to some sort of interface jack on the back of his head. The display
of the computer is a holographic cube a foot or so square. The man smiles
at her. "I'm a decker, a cyberspace data jockey from 2070. The woman with
the cyan hair that you were staring at is a friend of mine, named Thyra.
She's a shapeshifter. Does that sort of thing all the time. You'll get used
to it."

He takes a sip of some transparent red liquour. It's so potent Magda can
smell the alcohol from where she is sitting. "So, welcome to Callahans."
Jason says.

Shiner Bock is from somewhere here in Texas, but I can't remember exactly

Ma'am, I really don't know what to say. 

No, that's wrong. If there is ANYTHING that it is in my power to do in your
aid, let me know, and I'll do it. This is not a statement I make lightly...
If a friend is in some sort of problem situation (and I am willing (willing,
hell - proud) to call you a friend), I will back them up in whatever way
possible. If you want to talk, email me and I'll provide contact information. 
If you need solace, just remember that ALL of us (soapboxes materializing)
would walk on water for you.

Ma'am, just say the word, and we'll go to work. 

To help a friend - always.

Loving all.

P.S. - I am probably going to post something later on in this same subject,
       but these are the first thoughts that I could get out. I thought
       they might be of use...
