New Player Needs a little help, just want to know what is useful Options

[klinktastic]

Hello all! I am going to be joining a Shadowrun campaign soon and I have never played. I spend a few hours reading the 4th ed Player's Guide so I have a good idea of the type of character I want to play. The GM hasn't really released a lot of info about what the setting will be or anything, but I assume it will be fairly typical. He's been GM'ing for a long time, so I bet he knows what he's doing.

What I want to make is a 'Face' character for the group. I want to have solid connections, probably a few decent ones, that are fairly loyal. I'll be wanted to spend a little money on some equipment and upgrades (tailored pheromones, etc). That part is easy, I was just wondering, what other skills are good for a Face character to have? I know it comes down to preference, but I know there are good synergistic attributes and skills that complement the face skills. I was wondering what they would be. I mean, obviously there are a lot of interesting skills and what not, but I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips.

Thanks!
