One of my modeling career highlights was when video game company BioWare created  a video game character after my likeness &  image (Lu from Jade Empire).

 To be eternally immortalized and played by every fanboy around the world was quite flattering. BioWare flew in a photographer from Canada to shoot me for their designers at the Private Apartment at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco. Sporting not much more than a speedo, I was put on a rotating pedastal & photographed from every possible angle.  The final rendition  was indeed quite  life-like & I was pleased. (Actually more like relieved that they didn’t make me into Chun Li from Street Fighter!)

So, when Bioware approached me for another game character for their new game Mass Effect 2, how could I say no?  This time they flew me out to Los Angeles for the shoot. That was a while ago, so I haven’t really thought much of it…until recently when I saw street ads plastered around.

   Apparently, Mass Effects 2 is about to hit the market so w/ much anticipation I log onto the Mass Effect 2 site to see me.  Well, either I ended up on the editing floor or,  by process of elimination, the only character that could even be related/inspired by me is this reptilian bald Thane.  Maybe he has my lips, cheekbones, jawline?  Oh, who am I kidding! They dumped me! On the bright side, at least I know what would happen if I mated with a Martian….
