Look of the Hero Plane?

I'm curious how the Hero Plane looks in HQ games.

In particular, do participants see one another as the roles they are playing, do they see the people playing the role, or both? I've heard the term "identity challenge" used -- is this some kind of contest to separate a person from the role he/she is playing?

So, for example, if Dorasa the female Yinkini goes on a heroquest to seduce Velhara, Lady of the Wild, what do Dorasa and the character playing Velhara see?

(I'm reminded a bit of a New Yorker cartoon that showed a dog sitting at a computer, speaking to another dog. The caption: "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.")
