Thyra steps forward. She's about six feet tall, generally a female human,
but her skin is covered with a short, downy pelt of golden-brown fur. Her
hair is medium-brown, just a few shades darker than her fur. She has ears
like a housecat's, nestled in her hair, and also feline whiskers and a tail
like a short-haired cat. She's wearing a black velvet minidress, and a
matching inch-wide velvet choker collar, set with a round, faceted, 3/4
inch diameter blue sapphire, which matches the color of her eyes. She is
wearing no other clothing or jewelery, and is barefoot. There are feline
claws on her fingers and toes, usually kept retracted.

"Hi, I'm Thyra, and I share Jason's e-mail address. I'm 22 years old, and
my birthday is the same as Jason's, (August 9th). The most notable thing
about me is that I'm a shapeshifter. What you see now is the closest thing
I have to a 'normal' shape. I can change my appearance and physical shape
at will. From something as simple as this ... " She shakes her head, and
her hair changes to cyan blue with white highlights. "To complete changes
of shape." Her eyes flash bright blue, and she shrinks down in size. There
is now an ocelot sitting where Thyra was a moment ago, wearing a black
collar with a sapphire-blue clasp. It's eyes flash and her shape changes
again, becoming a black kitten with blue eyes, wearing a black collar with
a small blue bow on it. Another flash, and the kitten grows, becoming Thyra
again. "If I want to, I can become shapes that are not feline. I can even
become male or human. But usually there's at least something feline about
me, and some sort of velvet and/or sapphire at my throat."

"I also am a telepath and empath, and can do psychokinesis. I can cause
illusions that make others appear to change shape, like I did for Brumby so
he could be a real sea-horse, for the New Years party here."

The Light of Reality tries to swivel her way, and she dodges it expertly.

"I -live- in cyberspace, and don't make appearances in Realspace."

Purrs,
Thyra

And jelly has the same consistency as Jell-O(tm), the main difference being
that jelly uses pectin while Jell-O uses gelatin.  (Both of which are
gelatinous proteins, BTW.)

Okay, I guess it's my turn. (sound kinda like Eeyore, huh?)

My name is Noah Ramon. I am the Bi-Bulb... 

Oh, you want more, eh? Okay, okay... I stand about 5'10" (I think) - if I were
taller, I could get away with "lanky". As it is, I'm thin. REAL thin. I have 
black hair which is (A) hidden by a hat usually, and (B) receding. Balding
at 20 - I'm proud, really! I do wear glasses, and ALWAYS have my dark blue 
Croakies on, to prevent them from going ballistic. In my primary form (I'll 
explain in a moment), I wear a black T-shirt, black jeans, tennis shoes, a
black baseball cap with a Bi-Peds button on the facing edge, and a light kit.
The kit consists of a backpack, with LOTS of wires leading out. I have a 
strobe slung over my neck, two "accent" lamps (desk lamps), and a
heavy-duty outdoor orange extension cord. The desk lamps are hand held, and 
the orange cord goes into the wall. I tend to put light into people's lives, 
and into their music as well. In the secondary form, I wear ALL black - shirt, 
slacks, fedora, shades, trenchcoat, shoes, vest, pocketwatch, and bow tie.
I look relatively menacing, at least until I open my mouth. From then on, the
best I can manage is not to seem like the caffiene addict I really am. My 
tertiary form is that of the Noah Constrictor. In this form, I have some jeans
of some sort, and a T-shirt from whatever band is playing that night. 

I tend to stay in Bi-Bulb form, although my MIB suit is fun, and my Noah
Constrictor form is enjoyable. As the Constrictor, I dance. That's all there
is to it. I dance, incidently, like a snake with really bad muscular control
problems. Imagine David Byrne and Elvis Costello fusing their motor control 
systems, and you wouldn't be too far off. 

In whatever form I am in, I am a friend. My job, as stated earlier, is to 
bring light into people's lives. I can do this with my physical lights, or 
(much better) emotionally. Not to sound maudlin, but my greatest joy is to
make people happy.

I am a root beer snob, and drink only certain kinds of it. IBC red caps, 
Barq's, and A&W are all acceptable. Fanta's out! My birthday is on 9/16/72,
and I am beginning to celebrate later and later in the year. 

If you have any other questions, just let me know! I'll be glad to help!
