Argh, my obscurity! :) I've put it up on watchmen_slash now, and will see how the sex works out next chapter to decide where best to spam it. Seriously, I've been promising bizarre cyborg sex since the first page and haven't come through...I owe it to readers :)
I'd say Dan's like Donal Logue in Tao of Steve, heavier than in the GN without the muscle tone, but not in need of an anti-gravity belt to get around. They'd both be fairly indifferent to their looks, and Dan's somewhat self-conscious about it, but his self-image is more centred in his real abilities. You're right about the other two being more defined, but I think that's because they're threatened/drawn to each other (and thus over-analysing their chaacteristics), while Dan's the solid rock they're fighting over, and thus not defined. I should have Adrian do a bit more Dan-mulling :)
I'm always annoyed in scifi where people who live by their mental abilities also happen to have gym-toned physiques that look great in leather and rivets, for some reason. So these three are based more on me and my gamer friends, where the guys neglect themselves to one extreme or other, and the chicas are into marathons and martial arts.
