My wife and I were discussing Japanese street culture last night when I threw it out there that since she loved the stuff, why hasn't she ever played a character inspired by it? And she responded, "sure - but what's my schtick?"

The question stumped me. So Dumpshock, I come to you - take a picture like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lolita-Desert-Pastry-Bakery-Cupcake-Castle-Coach-Dress-/150597189686?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&hash=item23104ac036#ht_20066wt_1344, and make a character out of it. Nothing crazy like pixies or anything - actually try to make it a worthwhile, 400BP character.

My wife thanks you for it.

So when you say Japanese Street Culture, are we talking like Bōsōzoku, and other subcultures?

Hmm, let's see. Each custom bot is worth 3 points ( 15k). Rest of the rigger gear will be also a bit pricey, just so nobody hacks them. But I think I can create the "La Clown" rigger build for a beginner character.
