Considering the dystopian nature of shadowrun and the fact that most runners are working their way up from the barrens, it is sad that one important character concept is underrepresented in the Shadows, the single mother running to make a better life for her baby.

As a chracter concept it should be far more common than hot young lesbian elves yet it is rare to see compared to the sapphic stereotype.

This concept provides the full breadth of the dependant flaw by forcing the character to take into consideration such things as daycare (and nightcare) at the odd hours a shadowrunner has to work and, perhaps, maintaining a legitimate cover lifestyle to avoid the suspicions of nosey babysitters.

The single mother character concept is sure to provide great longterm roleplaying experiences. However, it does raise on every important childcare question. What would be the nuyen essence and capacity cost of a DNI cyberbreastpump?
