Hello all. This thread contains references to both racist stereotypes and religion, so please be extra-specially considerate of other people's beliefs and opinions.
Some quick background: my friend is joining our shadowrun game, but hasn't played since third edition. back then his character was a redneck from america's deep south (Built around the stereotype, not based on any person living or dead... or that's what he tells me at least), who's had a run in with a bad personafix which left him believing he is The Jesus Christ. Yes, that one. Never short-change your BTL dealer.
as a result we now have "Redneck Jesus", as statted out below.

as you can see, Redneck Jesus still loves his shotguns and his moonshine, and will be using combat drugs to be effective and bliss to be happy. i was wondering if the good folk at dumpshock could give me some ideas on how to improve him or, failing that, he should at least give you a good laugh.
some things not in the readout: He lives in an old church, with a perfect housemate I lifted from another thread here: Larry the Ghoul (i figured it was fitting, as if i heard the story correctly Jesus slept among the lepers
). Larry's loyalty 5, and a fixer to boot. plus he considers unwelcome intruders to be lunch...
