Hello!
Ok, I am about ready to run my first full SR4. I have already used cut-down versions of the rules including an Eathdawn-style fantasy only version for getting to grips with the magic rules then a modern version for testing firearms and social skills etc. So now me and the fellas (And occasionaly my Fiancé) are going to be getting up to 2071!

The Group (All experienced gamers of dozens of systems):

Human technomancer
Really damaged kid, locked online during the Crash 2.0 and then locked in a mental institute by Mitsuhama until liberated by the other PC's (all backstory). Has problems with the "Real" world and spends about 15 hours per day online in full VR. As a result he has Bod 2 and Str 1. Suffering from Aips he is twitchy and absent in RL.

Elf
Effectively a cyber-gunslinger. Born to very high up parents in Tir Tangrir he survived a hit on his family home but was badly mangled. His parents survived uninjured but his Sister was never found (Lost Loved One). He was almost killed in the bomb that destroyed his house and his folks had him fixed up with TONS of alpha-ware: Eyes, ears, commlink, Lacing and a couple of Bio-bits. His folks hid him away, fearing further reprisals and when he was healed they shipped him off to Seattle and set him up with a place to live (Trust Fund) that "somehow" tracks any ID he is using. He has no idea what happened after the bombing, that his parents are alive or anything, he is totally cut off as his treatment was undertaken in a secret lab somewhere in the Tir.
His genuine Tir SIN has been suspended and he has flashbacks to the night his life was ruined (Flashbacks). He is uncommonly good with his two smartlinked Predators (Ambidex, Pistols 6 and Spec) and he is ultimately severely damaged goods.


Patrick (Name TBC) is a Human Hermetic Mage.
Total sociopath, (Uncouth) that threatens to hurt people if they try to touch him. Is hooked on some drug that grants his strange visions (Even for a mage), where he is getting glimpses of the metaplanes and he is incredibly driven towards initiating. He is born to a rich family who's money has dissapeared (along with the family). Otherwise he is a bit blank ATM.


Haruki Nguyo (Mr White) - Oni
The Oni full of Bioware that wears a white suit all the time that, along with his white dreadlocks, makes him look like a giant smurf (Distinctive Style). He is a part-time bouncer with Yakuza connections. Highly westernised; he avoids all contact with Japan as there is something there (Evil Twin) that scares him. He is loaded with Bio as he hates the idea of anything marring his skin (Bit of a weirdo). He is a mountain of muscle with not much sense that is there when things get messy.



My question to you fine people: Anything not covered? They have a decent array of contacts, all are well sorted with fake SINs and Licenses etc and the Technomancer even has a contact in the form of a Data-haven Admin.

I am throwing us all into it whole-hog with a few ideas in mind for the progression of play. I am either going to get them involved in the (Still)emerging technomancer phenomenon, maybe with some mad AI's in there, dealing with a toxic anti-history group or even some bug spirits.
That said, the group is notoriously unpredictable and always a good challenge. Anything I should look out for?

Again: Anything not covered?


Thanks for your time.
