The basic premise is second son of a megacorp exec. Always getting into trouble to gain attention for himself. Left home to run. Part of family connection is the trust fund and hacker that dad has on retainer to clean up his messes.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
-
You don't have any contacts. At the least you should have a hacker contact to represent the guy your dad has hired.
-
Also needs a ranged weapon - a bounty hunter that always has to close the distance is an unemployed (or dead) bounty hunter. Either Narcojet Pistol / Rifle, Taser, or even a Squirt.
Modular Cyberfeet? Sounds like there is a story there.
I know it isn't the direction your build is aimed, but a Bounty hunter could also be quite the charismatic one. following the metahuman trail everyone leaves.

A Human with an Edge of 2 is a crime against humanity.

Middling Attributes and skills, with dice pools in the 6-8 range. This is acceptable for a lot of skills, but is barely a smidge above grunt level in combat, which is bad for a bounty hunter's dangerous work. There are also some glaring omissions for a bounty hunter - no shadowing or data search skill, no social skills at all, no ranged skills at all, and his augmentations don't really do much of anything for him in combat.
You don't really need dodge when the athletics skill gives you gymnastics already, and climbing is already part of the athletics group (you have athletics at 3 and climbing at 4). I can tell you envision this guy as an outdoorsman type, but ask yourself how much that skill set will actually be useful for your group. If they do a lot of work in tribal lands, deep in the wilderness, then this guy could be valuable to a team. If they mainly stick around the sprawls such as Seattle, then you will have a lot of points tied up in stuff you never get to use.

Unless your hacker contact died after he put the erased virus in your dads corp, I am guessing that is what happened, he will still be a contact, even if it was a one time deal, they were blackmailed into it, or it was your ex-girlfriend who now hates your guts. If your team has a hacker then you can say that was your hacker friend the erased is how you started up together. Its good to start up as team than have to date thru a few runs. Swap the athletics out for a Swim and either shadowing or gun/or bow skill since you seem to be a Mountain Man bounty hunter. Might like pilot/horse fit in there if its a NAN area based campaign.

I'm away from books right now so I can't add it up, but are you sure you used all your buildpoints? Also you can put your radar sensor and orientation system in one of your feet to asve some essence.
For a real bounty hunter watch Larenzo Lamas as Renegade ;D
