Hey, I've been watching Cowboy Beebop recently, and I was wondering how we would go about duplicating the character Spike in SR?
I dont think cyberware would be appropriate, so Adept is probably our best bet.
To start with there would have to be:

Massive Kung-Fu skill

Rather large Gambling skill

Something to reflect how fast his eyes perceive things (for those who havn't seen it, think being able to tell exactly what symbol is going past at any given time on a slot machine)

A phenominal dodging ability

What else?


Anyone have any ideas?
