What amused me was that my very first Runequest character, created around 1982 I think, and thus well before all of that appeared, was a Humakti from Pavis called Eldael the Raven Lady, with white skin and very black hair, almost blue. She lived through all our Pavis and Big Rubble adventures and, although I haven't played her in a very long time, she has been a regular NPC of mine...

Ah, the memories...
