How to build a viable Adept of the Burnout's Way?

For maximum potential and minimum loss, we want to come out at exactly 2 points of Essence loss, which is the minimum but every bit more looses you another point of magic...
I think this largely depends on the campaign. In a 350 BP street level campaign, Muscle Replacement 2 would do the trick. In a 500BP Highlevel campaign Synpatic Booster and Muscle Augmentation/Toner would be great.

But what to do in an average 400 BP campaign with 5-15k payout per run? That's why I was thinking Muscle Replacement. It's cheap for a start, so we don't loose BP-nuyen, when we replace it. And no matter what we put in, we will have to replace it.

As we know every Adept can use some 'Ware, like Pheromones for the Pornomancer, but the EXACTLY 2 points of Essence strikes me as very difficult. Unless we want to drop another point of magic, but that means 30BP lost at chargen. Feel free to add Biocompatability to your ideas.

As a start, let's assume the character's a shadowrunner, who needs augmentations to keep up and was very exited to hear the doc's news that he's very biocompatible to cyber or bioware. But once you give in to the dark path, there's no return! Maybe some mental qualities from Augmentation, something like depression. Temporal Lobe Epilepsy could be fun, too.
