just list some of the craziest and or coolest character concepts you have made in shadowrun chargen. like Ive made several different races from warhammer (confused metaraces, but hey they get close enough lol :3).

Ok. Recently I modified the concept of "London Below" from Neverwhere. Most of the characters were 'normal' and the region is technically a metaplane. I had one character... Miss Sinister, ruler of a hell like region that 'coincidentally' existed below Hell's Kitchen in the Puyallup. She had red skin, horns, tail and is an Class III Surge Elf.

== Description ==
At over 2 meters tall, she is a statuesque example of womanhood. She has a fire red skin, black hair, horns, glowing eyes (red irises and black 'whites'), and a long balance tail. She likes to dress in dominatrix style leathers.either black or red. She usually carries a leather whip. But sometimes uses a riding crop. She plays up the devil routine as much as possible, talking about sin, gluttony, pride, and lust. She will strive to make others uncomfortable during conversation. She can be quick to rage if confronted.

== Background ==
Born in '34, Natasha Fillmore was abandoned by her human parents during the Night of Rage. At 10 she tried to run from the state 'orphange' to Tarislar. She was accepted into Tarislar, but struggled with her 'street' past. In '61, she succumbed to SURGE, becoming one of the extreme cases (Surge III). Her transformation changed her from a relatively normal elven girl into a devilish looking woman. Her new appearance disturbed her neighbors and the community leaders began asking for her removal. The Tarislar 'Princes' officially banished her from Tarislar saying, "No devil woman is going to keep us from returning to the Land of Promise." She then tried to move to Coronado, but they 'ran her out of town', she ended up in the lava fields of hells kitchen. She soon found herself in Seattle Below, in a relatively uninhabited area of the lava fields. She quickly took advantage of her looks and her new found home to set herself up as the Devil Incarnate.

I just rolled this character just a few hours ago. My friends don't want to play Shadowrun right now, but I got the Shadowrun itch...so I think I'm going to try and make a comic. It basically is a reason to role play and GM myself. Also, I need an excuse to practice drawing. And Shadowrun could use more fan art.

Anyway, the character I just made is a street sam dwarf face.

Amy had the (mis?)fortune of being the only dwarf in her predominantly human school/neighborhood. She was often teased and made fun of for being so short. She turned to acting and comedy to cope with her alienation. In college she met a talent scout that saw her talents but realized she wasn't pretty enough to be a trideo star. So he offered to pay for some very expensive augmentations to pretty her up and make her tall. She quickly found out he wanted her to become a simsense/trideo porno star. Not wanting to be known as a sex worker, and having her identity erased in Crash 2.0 she turned to Shadowrunning under the alias Glamour to pay off her heavy debt. She also developed an addiction to augmentation believing she's not good enough, no doubt stemming from years of low self esteem.

I blew almost all of her money and essence on getting cyber limbs and a torso. I should have probably just gave her type-O system to get her more essence...but I didn't. I gave her ambidextrous, so she can dual wield 'cause it sounded really cool in my head; human-looking since the heavy augmentation doesn't make her look very dwarf like anymore; restricted gear, so I could get the cyber torso at character gen; max trustworthy to get more social dice; and for negative qualities: augmentation addiction and 25000¥ in debt.

There are a lot of downsides, like how she doesn't have any wired reflexes, or social modifying cyberware or bioware...yet... but I think she sounds pretty cool and believable.

I plan on rounding out the team with a male paranoid conspiracy theory elf hacker, a female thrill seeking racecar human technomancer rigger, a young male karate shinto oni shaman, and ... I don't know what niche to fit the troll in to yet. Maybe stealthy covert ops character, or some kind of mage...or both at the same time...or maybe I'll switch the troll and human's role, because I don't know how stealthy a troll can be...

Been trying to flush out a "Grey Knight" by mixing qualities from Way Of The Samurai with Way Of The Adept as a Mystic Adept. Close combat weapon of choice is a Victorinox SmartStaff.

I don't know if I've ever played a Human, in Shadowrun...

I love the metatypes and meta-variants. Love the changelings. Maybe I'm just a freak at heart.

I've played a Troll (Formori) Street Sam. He SURGEd and had green skin. Prefered swordwork and his Ares Predator.

Played a Orc (Satyr) Rigger. he was loads of fun. Street name "Lead-hoof"

Played a Elf (Night One, dark dark green 'fur' that looked black with a green sheen.) Phys Adept. She had a thing for knives.

Played a Dwarf (Koborokuru) He was an albino, wore his extreme (White) Body hair and facial hair long, and went by the street name "Yeti" (( Yes it was Ironic.)) He was a Decker.

Played a Orc (Ogre), who had also surged and had green skin, sharpened tusks, street sam with a preference for a combat war hammer.

Played a Hobgoblin, who was 'white' (He had green skin) was born to a 'white' family in spite of the "Middle Eastern Meta-variant" Thing. Came to find out his mother had cheated on his father with the middle eastern guy. Hated people from the middle east. So, half of himself. He was a very angry young man. very conflicted. Became a Merc to 'get back' against people of the middle east. Eventually came to see the hate that he had was towards his mother, not the poor people he blamed for her digression.
