Character that I was planning to do for a Shadowrun (a type of Role-playing game that is slightly similar to D&D) campaign... and that never really happened (or at least for me it didn't).

My character was "N" (that is the only name she's known by) and she was a midget dwarf (yes... she was VERY short). She's a street shaman, which is basically like your tribal shaman set in a futuristic dystopia and knows about the urban world (probably a REALLY horrible explanation of what a street shaman is.) BASICALLY SHE KNOWS MAGIC!
Anyway, she's also a big hypochondriac (which makes a little big of sense since she does have a bit of a low immune system) and a bit of a germophobe. This results in her habit of popping pills, though she takes a lot of pills not as an addiction so much as she thinks that she actually needs them... when she really doesn't.
The tubes in her head are connected to a somewhat cumbersome device on her back. This helps an inner-ear problem that she has.
Also... she wears a gas mask... because gas masks are somewhat cool.

The rat thing is her mentor spirit, which is basically a spirit that gives her advice. The individual mentor spirits come in different forms. Most of them come in some animal form, although some of them can come in really random forms... like the form of a mountain. >.O

But... never got to play "N". >:c
