Here's the draught as it sits on my computer screen, pre-overhaul.
[ Spoiler ]
However the "how much for a meta" thread suddenly gave me an idea to put together a fairly twisted character. Special order underage indian male sex slave. He began life as an unfortunately pretty young boy, but when a rich and immoral megacorporate/organised crime/shady figure decided an androgynous Indian child was next on his wish list, Rent-boy's life changed for ever. While a life of demeaning acts and shelter from physical labour left him physically weak, the preternatural quickness and agility he gained through his awakening allowed him to escape to the streets, where he discovered life didn't get much easier.
The ideas are new and ill-formed right now, but basically I want an androgynous, exotic and beautiful elf who is not only potently charismatic, but very violent and damaged. In the shadows he's a wetwork specialist, but he's a strong infiltrator, fighter and face. I also like the idea of him starting poor, living out of coffin hotels or maybe he's even fresh off the boat. I'm even considering the dayjob quality, as maybe he's still working the streets. I don't want a pure adept, however, and while I won't spend much money on his gear, I would like him to have some sex worker gear, as well as some other ware that he bought for himself to give him an edge on the mean streets (The muscle toner is the first that comes to mind).
I'm going to be experimenting, particlarly where his power points will go and finding a good balance of essence between magic and ware. In particular picking Initiative Enhancement is a big headache. However, I'm open to suggestions, comments, brainstorming and even tips for the background, especially from anyone with any helpful knowledge about indian culture and it's position in canon shadowrun as well as the sex trade. Also, what kind of implants do sex workers get hooked up to them?
Another part of the background I'm toying with is him being a SURGEling. Perhaps he SURGEd when he came in contact with the Ganges manaline, and he was worshipped for it, and that was what made him a target for extraction. I like the idea of him having Glamour as a child, but as he was twisted, it changed and manifested as a Nasty Vibe.
