Howdy folks.

I'm looking to build a character for a tabletop game I play in, in the aftermath of my Hacker finally dying (hurray for surviving longer then anyone else).

Leaving the world of the Matrix, I wanted to branch out into the Astral. I am holey unfamiliar with the Awakened Rules (I know the basics, and have piece-mailed some ideas together), and require a bit of your assistance.

I am using the Karma-Generator System from RC, and I have 621 Karma to play with in my character creation (Basically coming in at half of my old characters power, blegh).

I want to create a Magic Character (Preferably a Charisma Caster like Shaman), that can operate as both the Magic Support for the group, and a Face Character.

Now, here is where things get tricky. I really want to play with the Possession Rules. I want to basically create a character that calls in spirits to possess him, so he becomes better, and adaptable to different situations. Unfortunately, the only thing I know about Possession is what is outlined in Street Magic and Digital Grimoire. I keep seeing references to Greater Form Spirits, Homunculus, and other neat things... but I have no idea where to find them, or how to implement them into the character.

So, now I come to you. If you were building a character with the above thought process... knowing the rules (like I know all you folks here on Dumpshock normally do), how would you do it? Where would you allocate points? What skills would you take? What initiate metamagics would you get? What spirits would you use? How would you use them? Reference pages for things, and get back to me.

Just want to go ahead and say thanks to anyone who can help me out with this!
