Cyberzombie for a Freaks Campaign, Or, Yeah, my GM's lost it Options

[WhiskeyJohnny]

So in addition to the Go Gangers game I'm playing in, I've been asked to join a 'Freaks' campaign that lost a player. By Freaks I mean Werewolves, Vampires, Ghouls, that sort of thing. I've already got the go ahead to play a CZ (in fact it was recommended by the other players) so I think that's what I'm gonna do. We're using Karmagen, and I have 1000 karma to build with and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 500,000 in addition to the normal starting cash, for 'wares (the procedure is being given to me free).

I'd like to build a multi-threat character, and keep the dice pools around 16-20 (or less) as no one else has them higher than that. All I absolutely need to have, skill wise, are social skills, as I'm replacing their face. I should also have a reliable means of getting my meds.

I'm not familiar with the particulars of Karmagen, so if you'd care to enlighten me, I'll listen. I'm not sure quite what I can do with a CZ, as far as roles go, but I'm interested to learn.

Also, from a fluff perspective - I'm thinking of playing a CZ like the Gavin Fontain character presented (if briefly) in Augmentation, that is, one which has gained some small desire to continue to be. I will, however, necessarily be acting independently from the corp that created me, which brings up some interesting issues: how would a corp try and recover a rogue CZ? Would the necessary recovery expenses be worthwhile to the corp?

Further, what sort of problems will come of my being Dual Natured? And what exactly does it mean to be Dual Natured? Will my Astral Hazing cause problems for other characters (i.e. Vampires and Ghouls) in the party? Is there anything which can be done to attenuate this?
