Yep.
Orks rock too, but this character is planned to have wtinessed the rise of bioware in mid-2055 or so and that's hard to do with an ork when the game is set 15 years later.

Not if he Goblinized instead of actually being born an orc. Goblinized Orcs retain their original human life expectancy.
But Elves are better!

Didn't think of that, but I'll stick with the elf anyway.
Guess you're playing an elf too? If yes, we can build our own elven kingdom. With Blackjack and hookers!
Fortune

We don't need to build one ... there's one with the hard work already done just ripe for the picking located just a few miles south of Seattle.
It's good to see someone playing an older character. My character, Alistair was born all the way back in '39.
Grinder

The fairy kingdom south of Seattle is so fucked up, it's not worth picking up. Besides, it's not really the weather I want for our elven kingdom.
Lemme think, my characters needs to be a little older. Born in '30 or so, so he was in his mid-20 when bioware made the big jump. Yeah, that's cool.

Immortal still sounds like my bet. He´s not exactly a Sammie, but it´s the closest classification. He´s going to be a moderately cybered combat specialist, bent towards dealing out the pain. Background´s got him elven, a former member of the Tir forces, actually a candidate for the Ghosts before his family got offed by a Toxic shaman. Ever since then it´s been the long road to vengence.

Seriously though, don't let us sway you in any direction (if that was indeed the case). You should make the character you yourself want to play.
Having said that ... Elves is good!

I have a distinct feeling that Immortal´s going to be the least social of this group... which is going to be amusing. An often drunk, cigar smoking, foul mouthed elf who doesn´t shy from scratching himself in public is such a fun thing to play.ç
At another cafe, away from my books... need to sit down and make about ten characters tonight...

I'll play an elf too, a heavily cybered (only very minor bioware) ex- Foreign Legion french guy, who's more or less in "exile" now in america. Seems he and Immortal will share the same bad habits.

C'mon, the french culture (if you can call it so) is much older then elven culture and of bigger importance for JP.
Btw, the french also brought us compulsory military service and oral sex.

Immortal's shaping up to be a cybered version of the Punisher, complete with battle-van and drekhole apartment.
