You'll need to get the rest of the stuff upgraded to put in a Beta camera.

Why, ain't it obvious? it's for the Reaction and Combat Pool. On to the Character. Stats, hmm good if only very slightly high (but thats IMO) Skills, Not bad but i think it's (now) Electronics- Security systems instead of maglocks (i might be wrong tho) and i would drop computer and put the points electronics. And i would go pistols 4, Stealth 6 myself but i know that would cost you an extra point (maybe off computer) I wouls also like a combat skill (clubs) but how to getting with reworking not sure. Bioware/ Cyberware, Why the lacing? and i would get eyelights for the cybereyes. And i really would only go for a lvl one Acceleerator. (see in my eyes lvl can be explained by just being quick, lvl 2 some eyes brows will be raised, 2 Actions per turn can be got by anyone hows quick, that 2nd lvl puts you into the 3 actions per turn catagoery. No basic (meta) human can do that. Just some thoughts) |

Ugh, that'll never happen. One beta camera I could see myself affording down the road, but not a whole new set of eyes with all the toys. I guess I'll abandon the idea of ears for now and just add the alpha camera at chargen. Edited previous post to reflect changes. Edit: This was in response to Kagetenshi, not Shockwave_IIc.
:D
Computer is one of those skills that always seems to come into play. Maybe it's because my GM and I own Target: Matrix or just an excuse to make low-skill PCs regret maxing out Gunnery and Launch Weapons. Pistols needs to stay a little high since I'm gun #2 in the group--that's also why I caved and went with Synaptic Accelerator 2. I figure if I'm moving that fast either I'm shooting or getting shot at, and at that point I don't care too much about the social mods to Etiquette tests. I've always ruled that cyber is how fast your body wants to move and bio is how fast you want to move, so outside of high-tension moments like combat, I should be fairly normal looking. |

Note, also, that your second level with the Synaptic Accelerator will only let you average an Initiative roll of 17.5 whereas with just one you still have 14; both provide only two actions, and anyone with serious boosts will go first anyway. So it's not helping you all that much, and certainly not enough to warrent the obscene cost of it.
But to each their own. :) |

Alright, Dr Funkenstein and Shockwave_IIc have convinced me. I think I was letting the rest of the group goad me into it--I'm now slower and have a lot more close friends.

Funny how that works.
Make sure you have lifestyles up the wazoo. A high or two, some mediums, and a lot of lows to duck into now and again. Good for meeting people on your own terms. |

I don't have the SSG yet, but the GM has ruled that lifestyles can be tweaked post-chargen once someone picks it up.
Squatter (bought, where I hide when things go wrong) Low (2 months, where I meet with shadowy friends and plot illegal things) Middle (6 months, where I actually live) High (2 months, where I entertain and pretend to live) Security is above the norm at all these places, obviously. |

Good good. I'd get a low for five or six months in every district, so you could pull a Boris the Blade (see Snatch) when the shit becomes acquainted with the fan, anywhere in Seattle.
