				Is this about what you were looking for?<br><br><strong>Andi Bestinghouse</strong><br><br>Andi could easily be mistaken for any other Vegas tourist by her dress, though her demeanor tells a different story.&nbsp; She enters the scene in a open-knitted pink buttoned sweater over a simple white blouse, comfortably worn and faded blue jeans, and light gray and blue sneakers with ankle socks.&nbsp; She has a Boston Red Sox cap pulled down over auburn shoulder-length hair.&nbsp; Observant people will notice an unusually shaped ring on her right hand, and knowledgeable people will immediately recognize it as an MIT class ring.<br><br>Andi is about average height for a woman, with a slender build, and appears to be in her mid-twenties.&nbsp; The jeans are snug on her, but not skin-tight, showing a small firm bottom and subtly curving hips that have neither the traditional hourglass shape nor the boyish angles of a skinny model.&nbsp; The combination of the sweater-top and blouse acts to disrupt the shape of her upper torso a bit, visually minimizing her fairly small chest.&nbsp; Her neck is graceful and long, her complexion smooth, her features somewhat angular with a small nose that would be downright cute if she wasn't so serious looking.&nbsp; It appears she wears no makeup.&nbsp; Her lips are somewhat narrow, but some of that appearance may be from the slightly introspective or pursed look she maintains.<br><br>Andi is here to play poker.&nbsp; She fancies herself a semi-pro, earning a small living playing primarily online poker with trips to places like Vegas scattered through the year based on tournament opportunities.&nbsp; She's been bounced out of a tournament going on right now, and hopes to win here and thus gain enough money to rebuy before the deadline tomorrow mid-morning.&nbsp; There are two reasons that Andi won't back down.&nbsp; Firstly, she hates to lose, and is the kind of woman that doesn't like to back down once she's dedicated herself to something.&nbsp; Secondly, her sexuality is a compact, powerful thing - usually bottled up, but when and if the situation gets her going enough to cross some line it may greatly surprise her fellow players when it really comes out.&nbsp; However, if she ever felt that she could not win (game seems rigged, hopelessly far behind) she is not as likely to stick around just for the risque thrill of the game unless she was really hooked in lust with other player(s).

				<strong>Sally Medina</strong>, struggling musician.<br><br>Desperate to break through the roof, Sally's got the look and sound that should have hooked her a record contract the day she graduated from high school... but didn't.&nbsp; She missed the boat, lost her band, had her guitar stolen and wound up stranded in the Nevada desert.&nbsp; She managed to hitch to Vegas, where it seems her number is up... after being fronted the buy-in, how could she say no?&nbsp; And all she has to do is play... win, and she keeps the cash.&nbsp; Lose, she gets a $500 stipend, right?&nbsp; No problem.&nbsp; But she needs to win... she has to get a new guitar and a fast ticket to New York for an audition.&nbsp; It's her last chance at a destiny of stardom.<br>She's also running from her parents, who are attempting to weasel in on her contracts, and she needs money for a good lawyer to protect her future earnings from their greed.<br><br><br>She's 5'8, with short black hair and big, black eyes.&nbsp; At 18, she's still coming to bloom and has the smooth, lean body of youth, with slightly frowning, but full lips and uptilted eyes.&nbsp; She's half Native-American and half-Irish, and her skin is the color of dulche de leche and cream.&nbsp; Her body is compact, still hinting at the skinny, awkward girl she grew out of, but graced with gentle curves at her hips and breasts... though a little skinny, she'd be ogled in a bikini at any beach in the world.&nbsp; As part of a part-time job she used to pay for her guitar during school, she worked at a tatoo and piercing parlor, and managed to weasel a few hours work from one of the artists between customers... as such, she's earned a beautiful green, blue, black and red tiger portrait that spans her shoulder from mid-arm to shoulderblade.<br><br>She carries a fake ID, about $14 in cash, and a pack with a change of clothes and guitar strings. <br><br>2) motivation for playing:&nbsp; Freedom... pursuing her dream as a musician.<br><br>3) player's limits: Nothing barred by the site, nothing illegal.&nbsp; No permanent damage, etc.&nbsp; See my offs/ons.<br><br>Wearing: <br>Tight, faded jeans with worn fringe at the cuffs and waist, black western boots with silver embellishments, a black t-shirt faded almost to gray, the print crackling and peeling from a picture of John Lennon.&nbsp; She also wears a slightly dusty black cowboy hat.

				<strong>Nate Mournings</strong><br><br>Nate Mournings is a 23-year old trust-fund baby.&nbsp; Nate graduated near the top of his class with a BA from Princeton.&nbsp; He's naturally bright, yet he's always lacked the work ethic to actually make it to number 1.&nbsp; Shrewd and mature for his age, Nate loves all women, though he prefers them older.&nbsp; While he maintains a job as a financial broker, Nate's more of a socialite than anything else.&nbsp; Son to a rich and wealthy father, he flirts from flower to flower, making the most out of his youth until he reaches what he sees as the inevitable time to take over the family fortune and actually have to work for a living.<br><br>Nate's in the competition for the chaos and randomness of it all.&nbsp; Oh, he's a player, poker or otherwise, but he's out to enjoy himself and experience new things.&nbsp; Why would Nate stick around if things get risque?&nbsp; The question more appropriate is why is Nate even bother to suffer through the non-risque crap?&nbsp; Nate really has nothing to lose, but has plenty to gain in non-monetary ways.<br><br>He's 6'0" even, about 170 pounds or so, with a swimmer's build.&nbsp; He has dark brown hair cropped short and cool blue eyes.&nbsp; To the game, he shows up dressed like a model, in a red long-sleeve shirt with the front open, revealing his chiseled chest, a pair of black expensive slacks and designer leather shoes.&nbsp; He's got a pair of Ray-Bans that he'll use off and on as he pleases.

				<strong>Cynthia Cole</strong><br><br>She married too young, though at the time she couldn't have been convinced of that.&nbsp; Love was in the air and her catch was Roger White.&nbsp; Nineteen a just starting in college, she'd dropped out so that she could stay home and be the loving wife he'd wanted.&nbsp; Seemed she did alot of staying home while he did not over the next few years.&nbsp; Now she's 22 years old and watching her friends go off to live their wonderful lives while she's at home with her frying pan and plenty of unanswered messages to her husband.&nbsp; The trip to Las Vegas was supposed to be their anniversary reunion, a chance to get back together.&nbsp; A woman had called to say he was going to be late, that Cynthia should just enjoy herself.&nbsp; He didn't even bother to hide it now.&nbsp; So with a wedding ring sitting on the divorce papers at their room, she went out to capture something of her youth.<br><br>Cynthia is a young african-american woman whose skin color hovers just darker than creamy coffee.&nbsp; She has deep green eyes that darken when she gets excited or nervous and full lips that often tug back into a pout or quiver under those conditions.&nbsp; Most would describe her face as being mouse-like in the sense that she seems to show.&nbsp; Curled tendrils of hair fall down to her slender shoulders and cover part of her face, allowing her to keep both a mysterious look in her eyes and to hide away.&nbsp; Her body has been kept in shape through the years, feeling an unseen competition for Roger's affections.&nbsp; She has a thick lower body with tight thighs and a lean stomach.&nbsp; Never one to be overly top heavy, her breasts remain filled with the roundness of youth and the heaviness of being well cared for.<br><br>She doesn't really need the money, but intend to use it for a lawyer to settle the coming divorce.&nbsp; Cynthia is seeking a rush that Las Vegas promised her.&nbsp; At one time she was quite the poker player, learning from her father and making some side money in college against fraternities and sorritories that freshman year.&nbsp; Sometimes strip poker came up, but she normally ducked away.&nbsp; She'll stay in the game if only to get back at him and regain her confidence again.&nbsp; She wants to feel alive again.<br><br>She'll come to the game wearing a pair of capris that ride just high enough to be considered descent for the public view.&nbsp; A long sleeved pink sweeter is worn on top.&nbsp; The material is thin and soft, allowing people to see that a bra is all that sit under the item.&nbsp; She wears a pair of three-inch heeled sandles, open toed with red polish decorating her feet.

				<strong>Andrew "Texas Jim" Bannerman</strong><br><br><br>'Texas Jim' looks, sounds, and acts like the stereotypical urban cowboy--Stetson hat, black vest, embroidered shirt, bolo tie, jeans, boots, belt buckle shaped like Texas, and facial hair that might have been stylish in Wyatt Earp's day.&nbsp; He's in his late '30s, brown hair going just a little grey at the temples, with laughing blue eyes.&nbsp; He hits a bit over one hundred eighty five pounds at five foot eleven.<br><br>He talks a good line of bull, telling tall tales just for the sheer pleasure of witty repartee.&nbsp; Some of those tales are pretty bizarre to begin with, and get stranger with every shot of booze he sucks down.<br><br>He's also as genuine as a three dollar bill.&nbsp; He's not from Texas: the nickname was bestowed on him in reference to his collection of tall tales.&nbsp; His accent is an affectation.&nbsp; And if he gets really drunk, he starts sounding like someone's stockbroker.&nbsp; Go ahead and call him on it, though--he doesn't mind being caught.<br><br>He doesn't seem to care about the money, except that it's a way to keep score.&nbsp; The game seems to be an excuse to shoot the bull and play cards.&nbsp; He tips well and doesn't mind his losses one bit.<br><br>Limits: site.&nbsp; Ask if unsure, please.
