Hey everyone,

In a few days I am going to reenter my shadowrun group and I am juggling ideas on who to play. From constellation of our group we need someone who can fight, hack, rig and has a certain degree of professionalism to help the group grow into the dark sides of running the shadows. Our GM reads into all rules necessary and allows me full freedom on what to play and which rules to apply. We are playing beginning of 2070 in Rhein Ruhr Mega Sprawl.
I want to play someone who is good at what he does, but kinda flawed in a lot of senses. My idea is an ex-military man, having been part of the early Cyborg experiments by MCT. Do you have any good idea on how that could have happened? The character will be friends with a MET2000 arms dealer and has ties to the Humanis. It would fit the character having an addiction, question is the substance. From service time Jazz would fit, but that might be far away and other substances fit the Cyborg story better? Jazz would be an interesting way to design a combat monster, who is flawed by drug abuse.
In my imagination this man has 4 cyberlimbs holding all the other gear: nanite bruter (don't know the English term), commlink, and so on. Also the limbs have better stats than our man himself. Can I install a rigging module into an arm?
Regarding hacking I think about him being a formidable aggressor, but someone who is not used to long term probing. Also he lacks skills in programming and data search, thereby not taking that area from our detective type character. The character could fear using VR as it brings up bad memories about his Cyborg time, using AR only and having enough reflexboosters to make up for it. I think about him sitting in the van, backing up the team and when shit hits the fan taking a dose of jazz inhalation and running rampage, rescuing his friends asses but never getting clean... further he has a lot of toys, but making him use them requires a lot of arguing.
Does this makes sense to you guys? I have a lot of stuff in my head but bringing it to virtual paper feels difficult. Any questions I am more than glad to answer and looking forward to your ideas.
