If you press Print, you get a new window with the option of choosing between different output formats, most are different sheet layouts, one is text-only.
Take the text-only, select and copypaste.

== Description ==
Diego Silver is a tall (over 6 foot), reasonably handsome man with neat blond hair. His hazel eyes appear almost red and he has three red dots along the lobule of his left ear.

== Background ==
Diego Silver is the son of an Ex-Lonestar Officer and competant but new Shadowrunner. He will do anything necessary to further his goals, whatever his goals may be. If you're the one hiring him, then well done, his goal is currently yours. I hope you continue to be the highest bidder. He is used to living in poverty due to his father having lost his job, long before Lonestar ever lost it's contract, back when he was a child. He despises his father for being fired for stealing from the company to fuel his alcohol addiction but acts as a doting son in his presence.

== Description ==
A usually well-dressed, professional-looking man, Spooky's blue eyes tend to see more than most would find comfortable.

As a drake, midnight blue and black scales cover his powerful form, which easily matches most trolls in size.

== Background ==
As a boy, Jeff always wanted to be a cop. He wanted to bring justice to the sprawl. On his eighteenth birthday, he managed to get into Knight Errant's basic training program, and was identified as an adept, with strong analytical talents. This got him transferred from basic patrol training to detective training. To Jeff's mind, this was even better. Once he completed the detective training, he found himself transferred to Seattle during the changeover from Lone Star. One of the jobs he found himself saddled with was to weed out any criminal element within the remaining Lone Star officers. This assignment was where he met his partner, Jake. Jake was an older beat cop who knew where the bodies were buried in his precinct that had been passed over once too often by his well-connected superior. Jeff requested the man as his partner before his own investigation was even halfway through. For a year or two, the pair made a great team, Jake providing street-smarts, and connections to get the information to close the case, and Jeff putting the pieces of the puzzle together to present the final product to their bosses. Until the Lesker case, that is. The niece of a KE exec had been killed, and Jeff and Jake were assigned the case. Much of the early evidence pointed towards gang violence, but the rest of the evidence pointed towards a paid job. Jake wanted to just bust the gangers, and leave it at that, having seen how much getting to the truth had cost detectives before. Jeff wouldn't let it go, and eventually managed to prove that it was the exec's brother who had paid the gangers to keep his daughter quiet about some things that her father had been into. Jeff jumped the chain to present his evidence, and Phillip Lesker's brother was arrested and tried for paying for the hit. Phillip was demoted for covering up his brother's activities. Jeff, however, ended up on the streets because Phillip's demotion made him the immediate superior of the detective who had cost him so much. Now unable to do much more than get a part-time job at Stuffer Shack, Jeff has taken to turning his talents and skills to private practice, which brushes him against the shadows on a regular basis. His last case brought him into contact with plenty of the strange and weird, and resulted in him undergoing dracomorphosis, as well as the new ability to cast spells. Now, he's looking to dive deeper into the shadows, because it's only a matter of time before somebody finds out, and knowing his luck, it'll be his worst enemy.

Drake detective

[Xzylvador]

Chrona, is it just me or did you start with a Rating 6 skill group? AFB at the moment but I don't think that's allowed. Otherwise seems pretty powerful, but that's okay. One thing I'm still unsure about, though, is the foot anchors. I said I'd allow Blades for them and I'm sticking with that... But I am wondering about defense with them. I'm not sure whether you can really effectively block and parry with foot anchors and you don't have an unarmed skill to defend with... No problem when wielding a blade, but without a blade your only melee defense seems to be full defense with gymnastics.
If I'm right about the skill group and considering you had so many karma you din't know what to spend it on, maybe some points in unarmed might fit?

Silence... Not sure how to say this and don't take this the wrong way -you can build your character however you want as long as it's within the rules- but are you sure that's how you want to build your character?
Your most significant skill investment seems to be in the Influence group, but the group already has two other characters labeled as (semi-)Face. If you were aiming for a detective who can walk into different places and talk to people, just buying Etiquette and maybe a few points in Con would've been enough.
For the rest of your skills... well, you just seem to be lacking focus. You bought the firearm group, melee group, tech group, stealth group, spellcasting group, conjuring group. Shadowrun really isn't that suited for that kind of thing. Specialization is key. As Tolkien so eloquently put it: "Like too little butter scraped over too much bread."
None of your skills really seem good enough to be able to rely on, your dicepools are just too low with not even a single one above ten.
My advice'd be to pick one sort of gun and stick with it, pick one kind of melee style (if you want melee) and stick with that. (If you want to fight as Drake, what skill is that? Unarmed?)Spellcasting group is useless with so little investment, if you want to cast a spell, take the spellcasting skill and forget about ritual casting... Counterspelling'd be nice, I guess.
Same with the summoning group: with that dicepool, attempting to banish or bind might wind up suicidal. If you do want to summon a spirit, why not just get summoning?
I get that understanding technology is useful, but when are you ever going to use the Software skill used for programming?
And for Power points, large part of your Adept powers are spent on a power that's very, very circumstantial, to the point that I've never seen a situation in play where it could be used. Okay, sure, my job as a GM is to build you guys a game fit for your characters, but I honestly can't say I can think of a way to make it worth that kind of expenditure without making it seem forced (or feeling forced myself, for the matter).
I... I don't know. Could be I'm missing something... But remember that your character is a 'runner. Sure, he's a detective, but he's very much a runner, too. That's the game we're playing. And that means often doing dangerous things in even more dangerous places for even more dangerous people. Picking up some clues could be helpful, certainly, but that's not everything he should be doing.
I'd strongly urge you to reconsider this build, maybe get some advice from others...
I'm not going to stop you from roleplaying, you don't need dice for that. But the moment dice need to be rolled, I'm afraid your character's greatly outclassed by the rest of the group on pretty much everything but assensing. And spellcasting, but mathematically, with 2 dice spellcasting, your chances of glitching are much higher than succeeding in a spell.

[Chrona]

Chrona, is it just me or did you start with a Rating 6 skill group? AFB at the moment but I don't think that's allowed. Otherwise seems pretty powerful, but that's okay. One thing I'm still unsure about, though, is the foot anchors. I said I'd allow Blades for them and I'm sticking with that... But I am wondering about defense with them. I'm not sure whether you can really effectively block and parry with foot anchors and you don't have an unarmed skill to defend with... No problem when wielding a blade, but without a blade your only melee defense seems to be full defense with gymnastics.
If I'm right about the skill group and considering you had so many karma you din't know what to spend it on, maybe some points in unarmed might fit?

Yeah the skill group was technically a mistake, Chummer keeps changing what its set too for some reason, trying to keep it at 4 long enough to copy and paste the finished version.. I don't see why I couldn't block with material strong enough to puncture the ground, if people with cyberspurs in their feet can block and parry? I bought Unarmed anyway and no longer have that point left over.

== Description ==
Diego Silver is a tall (over 6 foot), reasonably handsome man with neat blond hair. His hazel eyes appear almost red and he has three red dots along the lobule of his left ear.

== Background ==
Diego Silver is the son of an Ex-Lonestar Officer and competant but new Shadowrunner. He will do anything necessary to further his goals, whatever his goals may be. If you're the one hiring him, then well done, his goal is currently yours. I hope you continue to be the highest bidder. He is used to living in poverty due to his father having lost his job, long before Lonestar ever lost it's contract, back when he was a child. He despises his father for being fired for stealing from the company to fuel his alcohol addiction but acts as a doting son in his presence.

Hopefully that has fixed it.

Name: Mickey Featherstone
Alias: Rat
Race: Ork
Sex: Male
Nationality: UCAS
Lifestyle: Squatter 200¥(Comforts 1, Entertainment 1, Necessities 2, Neighbourhood 1, Security 1, Lax Security, Worse Neighbours (Bunraku Parlour), No Privacy 1(Astral))
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: 6’1”, 110 kg, short, brown hair and black eyes. Has many scars on his back and on his chest and his left tusk is broken.
Personality/background Mickey grew up an orphan in Seattle's rough-end. Abandoned by his parents probably because they were too young to take care of a baby, he was taken in by a local orphanage. As is too common with these things, Mickey had a hard time fitting in and had no respect for authority. He soon found his way out of the orphanage and into the cold, harsh streets. He survived by making a few friends and stealing for a living.

When he was 14, he tried to steal a shipment of novacoke from one of the gangs (the Cogs) with a few friends. The trio would have made it if it wasn’t for their wheelman getting caught while escaping. At the time Mickey couldn’t drive, which proved his downfall. Caught on foot a few blocks away from their getaway vehicle, Mickey was brought in for a severe beating; the beating of his life, actually. His life was spared, however, as someone decided a living rat was more useful than a dead one. He was given another chance at life, but in exchange he would have to win it back through work for the syndicate. He has been working off and on for them, doing whatever they tell him to do, which comes on a weekly basis.

Being caught because he wasn’t able to drive really left a mark on young Mickey and he turned to cybermods to address his shortcomings. In the little time he had for himself, Mickey worked on the side, saving his money to go under the scalpel. Discovering his body had an affinity for cybermodding, he decided to break the bank and fit himself with as much as he could afford. Mickey found a streetdoc that had one piece of exceptionally good chrome considering the neighbourhood, and a loose friendship soon developed between them.

Over the last decade or so, Rat (as he came to be known) did all sorts of jobs, from B&E to tailing people to pickpocketing, either for himself or for the crime syndicate that still owns his life. Shadowrunning is where he wants to eventually end up, but he still has a little ways to go before he can commit himself fulltime to that lifestyle.

Silence... Not sure how to say this and don't take this the wrong way -you can build your character however you want as long as it's within the rules- but are you sure that's how you want to build your character?
Your most significant skill investment seems to be in the Influence group, but the group already has two other characters labeled as (semi-)Face. If you were aiming for a detective who can walk into different places and talk to people, just buying Etiquette and maybe a few points in Con would've been enough.
For the rest of your skills... well, you just seem to be lacking focus. You bought the firearm group, melee group, tech group, stealth group, spellcasting group, conjuring group. Shadowrun really isn't that suited for that kind of thing. Specialization is key. As Tolkien so eloquently put it: "Like too little butter scraped over too much bread."
None of your skills really seem good enough to be able to rely on, your dicepools are just too low with not even a single one above ten.
My advice'd be to pick one sort of gun and stick with it, pick one kind of melee style (if you want melee) and stick with that. (If you want to fight as Drake, what skill is that? Unarmed?)Spellcasting group is useless with so little investment, if you want to cast a spell, take the spellcasting skill and forget about ritual casting... Counterspelling'd be nice, I guess.
Same with the summoning group: with that dicepool, attempting to banish or bind might wind up suicidal. If you do want to summon a spirit, why not just get summoning?
I get that understanding technology is useful, but when are you ever going to use the Software skill used for programming?
And for Power points, large part of your Adept powers are spent on a power that's very, very circumstantial, to the point that I've never seen a situation in play where it could be used. Okay, sure, my job as a GM is to build you guys a game fit for your characters, but I honestly can't say I can think of a way to make it worth that kind of expenditure without making it seem forced (or feeling forced myself, for the matter).
I... I don't know. Could be I'm missing something... But remember that your character is a 'runner. Sure, he's a detective, but he's very much a runner, too. That's the game we're playing. And that means often doing dangerous things in even more dangerous places for even more dangerous people. Picking up some clues could be helpful, certainly, but that's not everything he should be doing.
I'd strongly urge you to reconsider this build, maybe get some advice from others...
I'm not going to stop you from roleplaying, you don't need dice for that. But the moment dice need to be rolled, I'm afraid your character's greatly outclassed by the rest of the group on pretty much everything but assensing. And spellcasting, but mathematically, with 2 dice spellcasting, your chances of glitching are much higher than succeeding in a spell.

As for the low Spellcasting and Conjuring pool, that was deliberate as a part of the background.  He only recently discovered the ability to cast spells.

As to the Influence 4..... Suddenly something that had been bothering me makes more sense.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Analytics is used for:  Evidence analysis (who screwed us), pattern recognition (deciphering coded messages), solving puzzles and logic problem. 

Doing a rework now, but the Drake quality is 75 BP, which translates out to 130 Karma.

[Silence]

Lost most of the Analytics for Enhanced Perception, And juggled the skills like you said, and ended up with this.  And I'm surprised noboby noticed the Operations Cleanup Facility, which ate up a hell of a lot of Karma, in and of itself.  Fixed now.

== Description ==
A usually well-dressed, professional-looking man, Spooky's blue eyes tend to see more than most would find comfortable.

As a drake, midnight blue and black scales cover his powerful form, which easily matches most trolls in size.

== Background ==
As a boy, Jeff always wanted to be a cop. He wanted to bring justice to the sprawl. On his eighteenth birthday, he managed to get into Knight Errant's basic training program, and was identified as an adept, with strong analytical talents. This got him transferred from basic patrol training to detective training. To Jeff's mind, this was even better. Once he completed the detective training, he found himself transferred to Seattle during the changeover from Lone Star. One of the jobs he found himself saddled with was to weed out any criminal element within the remaining Lone Star officers. This assignment was where he met his partner, Jake. Jake was an older beat cop who knew where the bodies were buried in his precinct that had been passed over once too often by his well-connected superior. Jeff requested the man as his partner before his own investigation was even halfway through. For a year or two, the pair made a great team, Jake providing street-smarts, and connections to get the information to close the case, and Jeff putting the pieces of the puzzle together to present the final product to their bosses. Until the Lesker case, that is. The niece of a KE exec had been killed, and Jeff and Jake were assigned the case. Much of the early evidence pointed towards gang violence, but the rest of the evidence pointed towards a paid job. Jake wanted to just bust the gangers, and leave it at that, having seen how much getting to the truth had cost detectives before. Jeff wouldn't let it go, and eventually managed to prove that it was the exec's brother who had paid the gangers to keep his daughter quiet about some things that her father had been into. Jeff jumped the chain to present his evidence, and Phillip Lesker's brother was arrested and tried for paying for the hit. Phillip was demoted for covering up his brother's activities. Jeff, however, ended up on the streets because Phillip's demotion made him the immediate superior of the detective who had cost him so much. Now unable to do much more than get a part-time job at Stuffer Shack, Jeff has taken to turning his talents and skills to private practice, which brushes him against the shadows on a regular basis. His last case brought him into contact with plenty of the strange and weird, and resulted in him undergoing dracomorphosis, as well as the new ability to cast spells. Now, he's looking to dive deeper into the shadows, because it's only a matter of time before somebody finds out, and knowing his luck, it'll be his worst enemy.

Anachronaut -

Nice character.  I noticed that you split up two skill groups that are actually advantageous to purchase as a group instead of separately. You may already know this.  If so just disregard. 

You purchased
Computer 4
Data Search 4
Hardware 1
Software 1

Individually this costs you 52 karma.  If you were to purchase the group at 4 it would cost 55 karma.

You also purchased.
Con 4
Etiquette 1
Leadership1
Negotations 4

This also costs you 52 karma for the skills individually.  If done as a group it would cost 55 karma. 

I know for RP reasons splitting up the group makes sense.  I did it with the Firearms group. 

All you would need to do is free up 6 karma.  You could loose 1 from Electronic warfare and maybe 1 rating off a contact and you would be set. 

The net effect would be -1 rank in a skill, -1 from connection or loyalty on one contact and +3 ranks in 4 skills. 

I like to be efficient with building characters and this was just something that jumped out at me. 


Silence -

I don't know.  130 karma for a metatype sucks ass.  Throw in a MysAd on top of that and you are hurting, like Xzylvador said, to make a viable character that will keep up with the others and not be outclassed.
 
The concept is cool but mechanically its almost impossible to do.  If he were a straight up mage or adept it would be easier but that doesn't fit in with your idea.

[Silence]

Yogi, trust me, I know about the 130 Karma sucking ass.  But it can suck even more when somebody decides you've met the threshold for changing, and you're suddenly 120 Karma in the hole.  Not saying Xzylvador would do that, but I've been burned by that once too often.  So I end up doing guys who are more on the starting curve of running the shadows with drake, rather than more experienced people with Latent Dracomorphosis.  I know, it ends up with a guy that ends up being outclassed a lot, but in the end, it is usually worth it.  And actually, the karmagen ends up being kinder than the BP build.

[Xzylvador]

I would do a lot of things...

What's a "threshold for changing"?
Need to read more books, obviously!

Oh, as for the "I started with low spellcasting because he's new to it", you could just reflect that with your low amount of spells, really. Truth be told, I'd never have the guts to roll anything with only 2 or 3 dice. 2dice means a 33% chance of a glitch, with a 66% chance of that being a critical glitch. That's BAD. 3 dice greatly reduce those odds, but it's still a large risk... larger even than your odds of success, assuming you need to get 2 hits.

[Yogi]

If switching to 2 pp for adept powers and having 3 for magician and upping spellcasting would greatly help you.  having a limited number of spells can account being new to it.  He could still be a natural with the skill.  You also have 8 drain dice.  one of your spells is a high drain.   Recorded room.  (F÷2)+3  cast that above your current magic of 1 and its physical damage (if I remember right as I don't play mages much.)  cast at 2 and you have a 4dv at physical damage. 

Lower agility and str by one add that into WILL and CHA. 

lower perception by 2 or 3 and add them into spellcasting. 

I can think of more but I have to get out of the office.
