New player perspective, Game log of a newb party, supposed to be fun. Options

Hoy, chummers.
Sorry for bad English in advance, I didn't put enough points in it yet and 2014 lingsoft sucks.

I'm new to all the sixth world stuff, but I like it so far.
So, I decided to learn about shadow world alongside with my character -- probably getting his body (and my feelings) smashed in the process.
//Btw, I've been to offical forums and people in "character generation" are discussing "optimal builds" and shit. Do not like. Its a roleplay game (yes?), not "Hey, I've made a freakin badass pile of numbers." Plus, if you make stronger character at start, GM will just have to provide you with stronger enemies.//

The idea of this post is to tell as a story about my first run, analyzing mistakes and ideas. Caution: might cause random facepalms /oh god these newbs/.

We started as a group of three players, and we were warned that we really should still somehow cover dealing with problems in all three "worlds" (Real, Matrix and Astral), as well as walk-talk part.

After some discussions we were set with our runners (names were added later, but I included them in this list for the reference):

Zorg, human. Roles: close combat, driving, recon /that'd be me/
Martin, human. Roles: magic combat, magic recon, negotiation /friendship is magic!/
Zhenya, human. Roles: decker, long-ranged combat, negotiation with mr. Jonson and other guys we might not have chance to charm.

So, guess its boring full-human team. We've got some excuses though -- in our starting region (Russia) people aren't friendly to most metahumans.
//not sure here, Shadowrun view on Russia is really weird. No bear cavalry though :( //.

To be continued with character generation process.
