Character idea needs input, Melee specialist? Options

[Doctor Rat]

I was trying to come up with a mildly original type of character, and I realized that while there is very high tech melee equipment in Shadowrun, there are probably few who completly specialize it over guns.

I was thinking of playing a character who specializes in close quarters melee combat, with an arsenal in various melee weapons... Perhaps some training (Less than average) in firearms would be useful too, though. Melee combat is likely to be a lot quieter than a firefight, which might be a big bonus.

I wanted to know what you thought of the idea? Be honest, if I were sure the idea wasn't silly at all I wouldent have bothered asking.

Thanks!
