A character illustration for the Shadowrun role-playing game setting. “Bullrog” is a massive (7 ft, 300 lbs) giant who would manage just find in any conflict without any magic whatsoever, but with magical abilities he ascends from being just “formidable” to downright “killer” as an opponent.

An illustration of a runner character for the Shadowrun role-playing game setting (and similar science fiction settings).
Mia Miles is a techno-savvy street samurai able to run solo missions for rich clients. She has shown a remarkable calmness and control under heavy pressure and some even say that she is in fact a cyborg and not just an augmented human being. While her professional self as a combat-oriented runner has earned her a solid reputation, her personal life is a complete and utter mess with both ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends popping up at the most unfortunate times. Her ability to keep and nurture relationships is at the level of a prepubescent and her most vengeful ex-lovers/ex-companions consider her pretty much just another sociopath with little or no regard for the feelings or well-being of anyone else other than Mia Miles herself.
Work on this particular illustration was begun in 2005, then forgotten, revisited and altered in 2013 and 2016 and finally decided it’s now ready to be published.

Ethereal dragons are spirit-manifestations bending the fabrics of reality. Mostly these things are the results of powerful magics, but sometimes malevolent spirits push through on their own volition in locations where the fabric of reality is weakened for some reason.
Creatures summoned into the corporeal realm of existence may be in an incomplete, shape alternating form with additional limbs, malformations and unusual sized parts. The corporeality enhances while time elapses and in some rare cases the creature can eventually become totally corporeal. The nature of these spirits is extremely volatile, they are essentially hostile to everyone and their behavior is erratic at best and catastrophically unexpected at worst. While the summoning might prove to be a risky business, one summoned to a strategically important location can be just what the doctor ordered.

A character illustration for Shadowrun role-playing game setting. Gabriel is a potent street mage with a special interest in cyber hacking. He epitomizes the “quiet observer” kind of person who – when called to action – performs his task with precision, accuracy, dedication and fervor. Gabriel does not want to bask in the lime lights, but instead prefers to stay quiet in the shadows. He rarely speaks and never engages in social chit chat or small talk that would serve only to enhance social standing. He really does not like people that much and especially loathes hedonistic and brash know-it-all types that can not walk the walk when need be.

A valuable street contact. Yvain is a male prostitute who is very closely attached to the often criminal undercurrents of night life in the streets. He is an invaluable source of street info.

A character illustration for the Shadowrun role-playing game system.
Abor is an ogre mercenary with an attitude! He is a classic brawler, street fighter, bully and generally rather prone to violence as a means to solving problems – whatever the problem is. He is also a prominent member of the White Scorpion movement that is a digital rights movement focusing on data privacy of private citizens. Not a man of many oratory skills, his talents lies in the field of information gathering … by brute force.

Milla is a female elven street samurai – by no means a unique combination, but rather rare nevertheless. Despite being one tough chick, Milla is exceptionally athletic and she has the reflexes of a hummingbird. Milla never complains about anything and her life philosophy borders that of pre-defined fatalism. She can take care of herself just fine, but prefers working in a team towards a common goal. She just loves it when a plan comes together and when all the comrades played their roles to their full ability!

Marek Marticek negotiates deals, offers advice on contractual details, acts as a united frontsman and manages financial affairs. A valuable companion or contact to any group, Marek is also an ideal player character. He manages just fine in hand-to-hand combat although he most certainly shows his value doing damage control after missions or getting the mission for the group in the first place! Street savvy, somewhat hedonistic and egoistic, highly intelligent and merciless shark in social situations. Marek has the oratory skills matching corporate PR directors trying to white wash that one defective product that caused injury and dismemberment to unsuspecting users or shrewd corrupt politicians wiggling their way out of a embarrassing interview. Combined with a lightning fast mathematical thinking (in fact augmented by mathematics chip), Marek more often than not makes oh-so-sweet deals talking clients into paying all sorts of side costs and unrelated expenditures.
