So, my GM has returned from out of the country, and we'll be starting up our little Go-Ganger game soon. My character, Sebastian Ascari, is supposed to be the team's hacker and prime driver. Originally I was thinking I'd go with an Adept, since it would fit with our characters being educated at Turin's Societá Thaumaturgica, and because chrome wouldn't necessarily be as easy to come by in GeMiTo. But, inspired as I was by pbangarth's Uncle Zola I was thinking I might instead go for a possession mage, that is, someone who specializes in having a spirit possess themselves in order to boost their abilities (at least, this is how I understand it to work). Would this be doable?
As far as the build goes, I was thinking I'd be an Elf, unless there's a superior option (but no Pixies, please). I have 600 karma to spend (we're using Karmagen), 50 of which is already dedicated to gear (namely, my car). My priorities ability wise would have to be Driving>Hacking>Combat>Social>Mechanics, though I don't really need Mechanics, and Social abilities would be nice to have but aren't absolutely necessary. Obviously, I'll need to be skilled with Magic as well, being a Mage, but I'd like to facilitate the other abilities with my Magical skills. Oh, and I cannot have any native dice pools (that is, Stat+Skill dice pools) higher than 15.
I guess I'm trying to go for a versatile build, and without much Karma with which to do it. I hope the whole "Possession Mage" concept will let me consolidate some resources. Any suggestions?
