I've actually been fond of Made Men. The setting is about as far from SR as metahumanly possible, but Jim Belushi is one HELL of a Face.
Can't fight worth a damn, can't seem to hold onto a gun for more than three seconds, and gets screwed by practically everyone..But obviously maxed out his Con skill.

Has anyone mentioned the Dresden Files yet? Harry Dresden is a total SR mage. Bob is a F8 (or higher) free guardian spirit inhabiting a skull.. I could go on.
Great to illustrate how traditions flavor magic, how fetishes and foci are used, and how summoning works.
And drain. Lots and lots of drain.

OK, I'm just dragging this topic back from the dead....
I second Ghost Dog. A lone guy obviously living a squatter life style living by his own code doing what it takes to repay a debt (or in this case, a percieved debt). Sounds like a good character concept to me...
