My picture is not photoshopped in any way.

And now, I'm keeping one of those "eyes" open for Girlco!

I could make a picture look like that without altering it on the computer

Were you brought here by your species as pod/seed and hidden until the day you were intended to rise to wreak havoc on our unsuspecting planet?!?!?!  Are you here to foil the FDO's plans for world domination?!?!?!?!?  OR are you part of the plan????

Thanks...   Just what I needed to get my day going right....

Let's think this through...

Your skeletal structure would have developed to be heardened to take the constant strain of Heavy G.  Your muscles likewise would be stronger and most likely enlarged, to handle it as well.  If anything, your height might be a little bit shorter.  You would have shrunk a bit as your body adusted and your skeletal structure changed.   So, a hot Heavy G lady would look a little like a certain Awesome Junkie Lady we know.  And to paraphrase Ismael Wang, She is Magnificient.

Is that the picture is a picture of me, and the picture is completely unaltered in anyway.

I don't think of fat FBI agents.

Wait...what were we talking about?

OH yeah - when I think of Heavy G Men, I think of Marvel Comics' Charlie-27, who was born on Jupiter. Here's a link which includes a picture:

So his girlfriend, I imagine, would have longer hair and rounder pects.

After seeing this picture, I get Jayguana's point...that the increased gravity wouldn't necessarily cause the arms to grow disproportionately to the result of the skeletal structure...I think I might have to agree!

Do heavy G women have heavy G spots? ;p  I couldnt help myself, I just came out......

I would think, based on the physiological phenotype we're given in the illustration, that there had to be some genetic tinkering going on when humans first started colonizing heavy-G planets. That's the only thing I can think of to explain the height and the long arms that seem like they should be as stong as or perhaps a bit stronger than their legs. If left strictly to nature, people on heavy-G planets would have developed into short, stocky folk.

I was also thinking, there has to be some variation in mass of the various planets that the GFL teams visit, so there would be variations in gravity as well. For example, a dumbell that weighs 45 pounds on Ionath may feel somewhat heavier or lighter to Quinten on another planet. This would be one more element that players would have to deal with and compensate for, which is just another testament to the elite athleticism that players would have to posess. I wonder how a game would go if it were played on a heavy-G planet?

I can't get on board with the picture largely (no pun intended) because it no longer looks human.  Plus, the posture and long arms completely give me the wig! 

Though our brilliant FDO did say Heavy Gs look like shaved gorillas, I wonder if it was meant as a simile to give us a general size gague rather than a literal description.

Either way, I'd be more willing to work with with the illustration if they showed a woman as well. We are a sexually dimorphic species, after all!

ho doesn't love epic violence, aliens, and brilliant profanity?

I always think of"Old Captans" from the Neal Asher books

and if you dont like it turn it off now PUSSSIEES!!

I got shut down really quick when I first brought this up. Its all up to Scott what they look like but there really is no reason for the long arms. And there has never been anything said about the uniforms or clothes being different because of there arms, there sheer size yes but not the arms.

When I first read your post I was thinking we knew exactly what they looked like because of the fan made illustration.  But then I realized I hadn't read the logic you were proposing...which made a lot of sense when I re-read your post.  I suppose that's what's awesome about science fiction, though...one can totally ignore the known laws of physics and science in general :)

And you would think that the longer arms would really come in handy as a running back. They could use a hand to pivot on sharp turns and not loose there balance, not to mention ball security!

P.S. what in the hell is a smorker??

funny you should ask. It was the result of a joke in another thread (can't remember which one) and now I forget what the joke was!! d'oh  I think it had to do with me snorting something but I can't remember.  I guess it's time for a new signature, isn't it

Snorting *something* ?? That sound even stranger then I thought!

so what do you think the mortality rate is on something like that?

SynapticJam (MC) says: "Your skeletal structure would have developed to be heardened to take the constant strain of Heavy G.  Your muscles likewise would be stronger and most likely enlarged, to handle it as well.  If anything, your height might be a little bit shorter."

Sounds a lot like J.R.R.Tolkien dwarves ;)

A bit longer perhaps and no beards for ladies.
