I've actually been fond of Made Men. The setting is about as far from SR as metahumanly possible, but Jim Belushi is one HELL of a Face.
Can't fight worth a damn, can't seem to hold onto a gun for more than three seconds, and gets screwed by practically everyone..But obviously maxed out his Con skill. |

Has anyone mentioned the Dresden Files yet? Harry Dresden is a total SR mage. Bob is a F8 (or higher) free guardian spirit inhabiting a skull.. I could go on.
Great to illustrate how traditions flavor magic, how fetishes and foci are used, and how summoning works. And drain. Lots and lots of drain. |

OK, I'm just dragging this topic back from the dead.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)
I second Ghost Dog. A lone guy obviously living a squatter life style living by his own code doing what it takes to repay a debt (or in this case, a percieved debt). Sounds like a good character concept to me... |

Cowboy Bebop. For the style, music, characterization, archtypes, and filler type episodes.
