So! I just joined a SR4 game where we play a team of advanced runners. 450BP to start, and slightly higher Availability for starting equipment. These are (essentially) the GM suggested guidelines if your letting one person play a cyborg, so I decided to ask the GM if I could. She took it to the other players, and the answer was yes, so I went ahead and rolled him up. Statwise he's nothing unexpected, but I need some help fleshing him out in the RP details, and I was hoping the forum could help.

He's a Clonal Brain with high Willpower and regular maintenance, so he's yet completely sane other then slight Autophobia. But, as a clonal brain, he has absolutely no experiences about the outside world prior to being stolen by the shadowrunning team he now works for. The players collectively decided (as a justification for him being around) that they originaly planned to sell him (he is an extremely valuable piece of equipment), but were persuaded to keep him by a mixture of his usefulness (they have no rigger), and the fact that he's disturbingly likable.

When I was trying to decide his personality, one of the people I was talking too noticed that he was both likeable and autophobic, and made a comparison to a small, adorable child following someone around. Combined with his ignorance, I decided to make him innocent and almost child-like. Combined with a certain curiosity about the outside world ("What does *that* do?"), I think it's a viable character concept.

Unfortunitly, that's all I have so far, and I know little about RP'ing cyborgs. Any help, suggestions, or corrections would be appreciated.
