Statting yourself in the Shadowrun world, If you were a character what would you be? Options

I think thats about what I would be if I was a SR character. It would be nice to see people make themselves. If you view stats of 2 as average then subtract 1 from all my stats

Thats crazy that you are a 400 bp character De Badd Ass! I'm probably only around a 235-250 bp character tops. Guess I need to live longer to push those BP's up.

[Cyntax]

A technomancer because I would never be alone if I didn't want to be. I'd have registered sprites to keep me company. I doubt I would be a Shadowrunner, but I would be spoofing a lifestyle for sure.

[masterofm]

I was thinking more if you statted your real life self what you would be.

Honestly, everyone in this thread would be a target in the Shadowrun universe. We have no powers, skills, or gear to be anything other than human shaped speed bumps. Most of us wouldn't even make a good meal for the critters running around in the night.

That's me IRL, I think. I don't think I missed anything.

In the SR world I suspect I might be an ork. People I used to play SR with always said troll, but I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Oh, and with any luck I'd be an adept.

I seem to be a bit of a skill monkey, which doesn't surprise me. There are probably things that I've missed. The part I found difficult to decide on was my Body rating. I'm pretty out of shape at the moment, but I'm still fairly solid. I'd say I'm definitely above average when it comes to being big, but at the same time Body is used for things like endurance running which I'm not sure where I'd pitch now, but probably fairly low. So I put myself down as 2. If I lose a few pounds and get my CV fitness back, I could probably put it up to a 3 in line with my Strength. Reaction is really hard to judge - been a while since I've had to duck a punch - so I put that down at 2 as well.

[knasser]

I'm shocked we're not seeing more 6s across the board.

Assuming you're meaning in SR4 terms, I think people are being fairly honest with themselves here. I know I tried to be. Of course that doesn't mean how we see ourselves is accurate, but I think few of us would put ourselves as "Best of the Best" in any category. I thought about giving myself a Logic 5 - I'm pretty smart in an analytical capacity and I have excellent recall for facts. But I think my capacity to focus isn't as great as it could be and that limits what I actually achieve on what would be Logic tests in Shadowrun. I certainly wouldn't put myself down as a 6. Maybe after a bit more karma. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Did you read the guy who posted right above me saying he wanted to be a technomancer Kyoto Kid? The post was referring to that.

@ knasser: Yeah I put logic 4 down as well. I have an IQ of around 135-140, but IQ tests are biased towards critical thinking. If you know the Myers Brigs at all it favors N's so I don't find that completely fair in terms of intelligence. Plus I'm lazy so I don't think I have truly utilized my full potential.

[It trolls!]

WHAT???

Mooooooooo!

If I ever had to pick a character type for myself (already statted up there) in shadowrun, I would probably be an inattentive security guard, doodling away in the control room. Until the one day when the man with the ungodly mooing skills showed up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Did you read the guy who posted right above me saying he wanted to be a technomancer Kyoto Kid? The post was referring to that.

...yes, and that is why I still think my reply still applies, as stating myself "as is" for the SR world, I wouldn't survive one day/night in the shadows just due to my physical handicaps.

I'd probably make an OK contact, or a NPC wageslave, but definitely not a runner.
