If you happen to follow this tumblr, you're going to see more of this handsome man, because I intend to post more. Meet:

Ram "sw17ch" Premis, ork, Swan totem shaman. Originally from Chicago (he's... not really been back many times since it got the moniker "Bug City"), living in Seattle with his now-husband Daak "Int3gr4l" Quaas, a Tír Tairngíre elf whose family may not be super happy about his choice of partner. Daak is a Hermetic mage, keeping his lodge in their shared apartment, sw17ch has his on top of the apartment building they've... taken over. That roof has a small slice of nature, complete with pond. They're trying to build a community in their building, with everyone living there, while running the shadows together with "Ground Control", their team.

sw17ch is handsome, charming, vain and not the best negotiator. His very distinctive personal style makes him... often the person doing some astral projection during runs. Something something "hey I recognise that man!"

First played when it was ingame year 2058, photo is from year 2062.

...I love ShadowRun. Look at me! I can wear a blue mohawk with green tips that glow in UV lighting! Actually almost everything that isn't black on that costume, glows in UV light. Because I felt like it.

Sw17ch up to shamanic shenanigans. He's just so fun to play! And dress up as. It's hard to mistake him for anything than what he is, honestly, and I love it so much.

Those are real bones from swans, picked up at a beach where there's a lot of dead swans in winter.

Ram "sw17ch" Premis, ork shaman of Swan's totem, fabulously handsome and very good at what he does. Except for negotiating. He's not very good at negotiating, he leaves that to his husband or the group's Face.

I love wearing his looks. There is a lot in that outfit that only shows in direct blacklight, or looks cooler.

And I love ShadowRun so much <3 Cyberpunk with magic in it!

Time for the Tales from the Sprawl larp campaign again! I was a bit off my mojo because of a migraine that made me feel queasy, and other things that cause me to be less able to mask than usual. But it picked up later! As always, a myriad of thanks to the best-looking runner crew one could ask for, Ground Control, and to the player of sw17chs husband, the dashing, formerly Tír elf, hermetic magician Daak "int3gr4l" Quas <3

Best moments included:

Enchanting ammo to be especially effective against insect spirits (sw17ch hates insect spirits) and giving a damn good show with props and chanting and all.

Having a sympathetic talk (!) with an Aztech wage-mage who was frustrated as he just wanted to do good, but everyone was suspicious of him because of his Azzie connections. (Uh, rightly so, sorry, man.)

Quiet moments, brief pauses, calm husband-to-husband affirmations, little words and touches of love... grounding experiences between sw17ch and Daak.

Telling Lugh Surehand (don't ask) to shut the fuck up and never ever suggest anything than that sw17ch is Daaks legal husband, or this ork will burn him to cinders.

Interacting with a porcupine shaman (the player had made quills by felting wool, it looked aaawesome).

Just... seeing everyone, and everything <3 Damn but that larp always has the best looking costumes and irl locations!

(Please note: This is very far from boffer-fighty-larping.)
