Okay, everyone knows the usual character types people play in shadowrun. Hacker, Face, Adept fighter, Mage, Cybernut-with-a-cannon, Rigger, Ect.

But what about the ones that don't quite fit?

For instance, in my current SR4 game, there is a runner who doesn't quite fit any of the stereotypes. He's a little bit face, Intimidation in a can, a little bit of an accountant, a little bit artist, a little bit of a pugilist, and a little bit mafia. It's all in the way he's played.

I've since named him "Mr. Wolf", simply because that's the way he's played (by someone who has yet to see Pulp Fiction, I might add.) But there are more I can think of off the top of my head.

I just want to hear what non-typical player archtypes have you seen running in the shadows.
