Well, this actually works out to be a nicely balanced party - two mages differently specialized, two matrix characters differently specialized, two characters with stealth capabilities, a nice spread of combat capability...
Indeed. Looks like a well balanced crew. Oh, and obviously, Chikage doesn't carry all those weapons on any given run. The assault rifle and katana are her primary weapons, but she switches to the battle rifle when there might be a sniping situation (sure, battle rifles don't have as long a range as sniper rifles, but when's the last time you were sniping at extreme range on a run?), and the pistol for more clandestine affairs, where sneaking a weapon in is more important. The LMG and grenade launcher are for when her job is primarily to cause as big a distraction as possible.

It'll be interesting to see how an AI street sammy plays out. And yes, for those who read to the end, one of her contacts is a Desolation Angel. :)

I have no idea what a Desolation Angel is.
Remember, you don't have to kill the vehicle to stop it, just kill the guy driving it.

My contacts are the AB+ at C:5 L:5 Group 14 and the White Resistance at C: 3 L:3 G: 6 That should add up to 36 contact points, and chummer tells me the math is right.

Medium lifestile is on my sheet because Mithlas said we had a free month of medium lifestyle, and that's what it is. I only had 1 karma to spend on money, so I bought some really basic stuff. A functioning commlink, a mic and camera headset (think of the headset from Contact, but with a mild adhesive instead of a band). Some nanopaste trodes, because as far as I know they're reusable, and they'll look neat with the glow in the dark body paint. and the G3 because it's good for you

My character is covered in downy white feathers on the belly and overlapping 18-36 inch feathers on the more so on the ridge, and I have no hands, how exactly am I supposed to comfortably wear clothes?

I took orgasm and orgy as cheap incapacitating spells, they take up far less drain then other spells, and orgasm is easy to sustain at a high rating. Once I get more karma there are more spells I'd like to get, but I was rather satisfied with these.

The Desolation Angels are an all-female go-gang from Chicago, and they were actually around before Bug City. A good percentage of their leadership are actually flesh-form Mantis spirits, and they get their kicks going around and hunting other bug spirits, as Mantis spirits are wont to do. The gang has since spread out across North America. Also, Anne Penchyk(sp?) the lady who was General Yates's running mate before he was revealed as a bug, and then killed by a Mantis, happens to hang with the Desolation Angels now and then. She's also in charge of one of the bequests from the Big D's will.

And somehow you have the good bug spirits as a contact?

1) I figured no one had thought about doing it before.
2) What does an AI really have to worry about with bug spirits?
3) Seemed like fun.

Make sense to me
so if we need to kill other bug spirits or capsize a government or corp we'll have it covered.

That's the spirit! I like your enthusiasm.

Also, given enough time, I can turn people into my own personal thralls/sleeper agents, though I just like referring to them as pets.

Right, you have 36 points of contacts.  You have 40 points for free contacts.  6 Cha + 4 Etiquette) * 4.

There's also the idea of using spirits to boost other members of the group in a jam.

Plausible, but I'm a Psionicist, so I use spirits... less... I believe they're psionic manifestations. Though my character believes in a slightly looser more paranormal version of Psionics.

But yeah, I can bring up spirits of men, though I have little experience doing that, so I'm up for pointers with using spirits.

I figured it would be more in the lines of using those manifestations to augment others.  Though that does raise the question of what the spirits would want to do when possessing someone.

My will essentially, and their eye colour will change, and they'll say "We've Won" to the nearest person.

I've never employed spirits myself, I'm aware of the general rules surrounding them, I just haven't used them. So tips and tricks I'm open to.
