Rookie asking for character advice Options

[Vermillion]

Greetings all. Long-time reader, first time poster.

I am prepping for a SR4 game in the new year, and I would like a once-over of my character. I played SR4 online once before, like a year ago, but the game didn't last for more than a couple of sessions. So my knowledge of the game is still quite weak.

I had a few character ideas, but decided to try and bring back my old character (a gunslinger adept). But I went on a bit of a movie binge, and got inspired to emulate a certain amnesiac killing machine played by Good Will Hunting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) . So my character morphed into what I think is a "weapon adept": an adept who can go melee, if only to last long enough to grab a gun (one thing I do remember from my previous experience: SR melee isn't the best position to be in).

So let me know if I bit off more than I could chew.

So far, the GM is allowing all the books, but he may change his mind and just do the Core Book (Anniversary Edition) and Seattle, bring the others in later. Also, I was going to go with Total Amnesia and have my character discover his abilities while playing, but I may not be able to get the GM to let me (seeing as how the book says the player shouldn't know this stuff either).
