do you just start with a backstory? a concept? (adpet, mage, mundane, gunner, face) min/max? just sit down and starting buying things and make a character to go with it later?
I usually start with a concept, get the very basics done, make a back story and then LIGHT min.max (within RP reasons ofc, never had a GM smack me with books... well once but I kinda knew he would that time). and sorry if I post a lot. I just notice a lack of normal SR topics, I mean a good rule debate can be fun. I just to have some fun posts to carry on with others on. :3
