[LostProxy]

So this is my first time playing shadowrun and I'm getting into two 4th ed campaigns. I'm taking up different roles in each campaign but most of the people in both didn't have enough time to do anymore then tell me "these are the roles open pick which ever you want." So I picked and now I'm trying to get it right. If you don't mind I would really appreciate the help in streamlining them both a bit.

The first is my support mage. He is a combat medic who discovered his magical aptitude after a rather stressful mission gave him a particularly bad case of shell shock. Eventually he got over it and was given an honorable discharge for his service. Now without much to do he got into shadowrunning after an old squad mate (my friends cyber heavy jewish orc) came to him with gun shot wounds and an interesting story that made him decide to join his team. For extra cash when a chance presents itself Caeden will chop up bodies for organs, implants, etc. He's somewhat honorable about it, limiting himself to actual enemies they have killed and not every orphan unlucky enough to walk past his doorstep. If anything he would take them in and use some of his blood money to help. His sense of right and wrong are somewhat twisted, sometimes good and other times bad. Because his attention has shifted from being a soldier to more of a support role he has lost some muscle mass and fire arm experience but still knows enough to not shoot himself in the foot. That's the cliff note version but since we have a nuker who can do most of the real spell casting my job is to keep people alive or at least conscious and give some support fire when I can.

The second is a technomancer who I built to be a bit more useful in combat and back up our main hacker who uses mostly technical skills. His father was a 1st generation otaku so when he ended up having these powers as well his father, though at this point completely faded, started training him. He showed a less then stellar affinity for the summoning of sprites but found no problems with other tasks. His mother however thought it unhealthy for him to sit in front of a computer all day, not literally of course since he didn't need one, and when he wasn't with his dad learning how to crack a system he was with his mom or friends getting well needed exercise. Things then took an ugly turn when an old friend of his dads came to visit asking a favor. They needed an unknown face to get some data from one place to another but wanted a physical carrier for security reasons. Akachi Volunteered to test his abilities and while his parents greatly disagreed he snuck out, hooked up with his fathers old running mate, and delivered the data. Needless to say his parents were disappointed. They had taken incredibly dangerous missions in their own days so their son wouldn't have to but it seemed running the shadows ran in the family and Akachi wouldn't take no for an answer. He is now going through live fire training with his dads old team. After all what better way to learn then to face actual combat. Left out most of the stuff of his family being runaways from Aztlan but don't want to bore you with to many details.

Admin VI - Another bit of home brew stuff. Basically its the technomancer equivalent of a mentor spirit. I was wondering if something like this may exist in Unwired? I have yet had a chance to check it out so if this already exists thanks in advance. We changed some stuff and put every complex form under some type since not all of them had one. Also since Complex forms can be anywhere between 1 - 10 the rule is + 1 to complex forms, + 2 to sprites. Would also like some sort of input on this.
Mechanist AI: +1 to Data Stream forms, + 2 to Machine Sprites. I cant remember his weakness at the moment since our GM has the information.
