Being an ork can be very distracting when eating things like tortilla chips or nuts, which are likely to compact and get stuck in the crevasses of the molars. As orks have much deeper molar crevasses, but slightly less dextrous tongues, it takes much more time, effort, and concentration to get those food plugs out of their teeth.

That's what I was wondering as well.
I posted. Hopefully what I gave will be enough for one of you boys to feed off of for the moment to get this ball rollin'. I accidentally posted under Teja rather than Bly though. Damn insomniatic episodes. Sorry bout that.

Room by room.
The foyer is six by four feet with a two foot by four foot closet. All ceilings are eight foot drop ceilings unless otherwise noted. A key rack is mounted next the security viewer.
The living room is fifteen feet by twelve feet, and on the north side is Samuel’s work station and desk. No personal photographs adorn the desk, and it appears very well used and neatly kept.
On the west wall is a sword sheath only.
The south end of the room is the entertainment area, with a very new (last six months at least) entertainment system, and a large selection of music and movie chips.
On the east wall is the entry way to the walk out enclosed balcony-you can see a patio set out there, and some plants. The whole room shows signs of obvious search.
The hall is a short affair with a linen closet filled with towels.
The bedroom is a large 21 foot by twelve foot room with an attached master bath suite, has a bed, two dresser’s, a walk in closet, and a Nordic Track style exercise step machine. The room is obviously been searched but beyond that it seems to be pretty trashed, like someone left in a hurry. Clothes are strewn everywhere, as are shoes and other knick knack items.
The extra bedroom is empty.

The music selection is obviously divided into two distinct set of tastes-on the left is classical, jazz, folk and other lighter genres. On the right is heavier stuff: death core, rap core, rap, metal, and rock. Its pretty obvious these are two seperate collections.
Eli not to bust your balls, but what sort of operations do you want to do on the computer? So I can figure out what to tell you.
Everyone: I need new copies of your characters, since my machine crashed and took them with it, please send them to pjensen@cmsinter.net . Thanks.

It is definitely automated, think calling your phone companies menu. You can eventually speak to either a real person or more likely a customer service know bot.
The blurb as you connect is
"DeltaFax! We make the matrix less intimidating!"
Teja: Joo get the I caught Paul offguard cookie!
The medicine cabinet is relatively slim pickings:
A tooth brush, some aspirin, Icyhot bottle, a half empty bottle of fruit flavored tums, a half empty thing of q tips, and a bottle of iodine. Also on the sink is a tube of colgate-minty fresh flavor, and a packet of Gilette Mach 6 razors that is empty.
One thing that does catch your attnetion is that the bathroom is spotless. It is almost surgically clean. Too clean-there isn't even a hair on the toilet. Sterilized is the word that comes to mind.
Behind the bathroom door is a womans bathrobe with Japanese lettering that is superimposed over a black dragon.
I will edit this post and add more in about an hour.

[Edit]
Especially since the old version completely lacks all knowledge skills.

That's a negative.

Simon was standard 425 points under BeCKS v2. In fact, his stats are included in the article.

Some things everyone should keep in mind, that have been rattling through my head while I'm recreating Inuk's stats.
Let's reiterate maybe the most noticeable attribute he possesses: his smell. This guy smells like he just spent twenty years walking around killing stuff and sleeping in its carcasses, without showering. [That's because he's just spent the last twenty years walking around killing stuff, without showering.] He's wearing what appear to be sewn hides - the real kind, not dyed leather, and yeah, it includes fur - and from the look of the pelt, it seems to have been mostly just one animal. Which means it must have been /big./ And very white. And apparently really smelly. Of course, the raw meat hanging out of his pocket might have something to do with it, too. No matter how good anyone's noses are, unless you get /really really close,/ you won't smell a bit of human on him. See, that way, animals don't run off when they smell him. Rotting carcass doesn't bother them as much as manstinky does.
He's probably in his thirties, but it's hard to tell; his face is lined, and his hair is completely white, but he has that sort of Inuit ageless look. His skin is even darker than that of most "eskimos," and his eyes have that perpetual squint that comes from staring into snowlight for months at a time. His hair is an unkempt mat, moreso than any International Geographic inuit picture you've ever seen. Don't most eskimos comb their hair with, you know, ivory combs from whales or something? This one seems to have used the tried-and-true "sleep on it and rub some dried blood in there for good measure" technique.
He looks like he's in a daze half the time, like he's just about to drop off to sleep any second. His pronounced epicanthic folds don't help matters. His eyes are the same ice-blue as Frost's, but these don't look natural; they look like they've been bleached by the sun. He stands /completely/ still when he stops moving, and moves with a slow fluidity when he does.
Really, to bring us back down to earth and not make him sound like some superhumanly screwed-up guy, he looks like any eskimo hermit would, like a mountain man, except from the way-far north. [And what the hell's he doing in Seattle, anyhow? Get tired of the cold, finally?]
As far as anyone can tell, he's not carrying any weapons. It was a close fit in the car, and any one of you would be willing to bet that if he's carrying a weapon, it's in a place you wouldn't want to look for it.
I don't think I've got anything else, although I'll point things out as I remember them or they become relevant. I wouldn't mind hearing more detailed renditions of your characters, either, just to get a more intimate feel for them, as Inuk gets to spend more time with them.

Inuk is re-done-ish. Paul, I've got the NSRCG file for you to take a look at when you come over this week, which you should do, so we can get your modem driver. And don't forget to write down the name Windows gives you for the modem, most specifically including the numbers after Creative Modem Blaster.
