Not a Trideo Pirate.. a Proper Pirate!
I've been playing around with some ideas on making a Rigger, and have kept on getting stuck on making characters that are TOO specialized into a narrow niche. You don't want a character who only uses a hammer, because not every shadowrun is a nail!
The schitck that carried me through to completion through chargen was a twist on the "wheelman" niche to be primarily nautical. This character still doesn't have a TON to offer outside of being the getaway driver, but if the run happens to be on or near the water he's got some unusual abilities to bring to the table.

Thoughts? Comments?
Does he seem too one dimensional?
Edit: I see the formatting didn't quite put EVERYTHING up there. For example, the Steel Lynx has a MMG and a Netgun, whereas the vehicles are (for now) unarmed... the battletruck has gun ports... those have far more offensive potential until after chargen when the 14F heavy weapon mount mods come available
and the most fun idea I had was for the Steel Lynx.. it's smoke generators are armed with NeuroStun gas
The Sammie won't appreciate me triggering that while he's around... but it'd be great for covering the team's escape if the balloon went up!
