Here is one made with Life Modules:
Tir Socialite
"Oh come now. All of this hostility just simply won't do. I'm sure we can come to a working arrangement that everyone will be happy with."
"Of course I can lure her out of Dantes. She went in there to hook up with a pretty young thing like me in the first place, didn't she? Not that I'm judging. Heaven knows I'm a naughty little man-whore myself."
"Listen. You listen to me. You see that sprawl over there? THAT'S where I'm supposed to be. Not down here in the barrens with the devil rats, and the garbage, and the fucking volcanic ash blowing *back* and *forth*. I've had it with them, I've had it with you, I've had it with ALL THIS - *I want ROOM SERVICE*! I want the club sandwich, I want the cold Aztlan beer, I want a 10,000-Nuyen-a-night hooker! I want my shirts laundered... like they do... at the Imperial Hotel... in Portland."
He doesn't look like he belongs in the shadows. A pretty boy born to wealth and privelege, with his wavy perm and that slightly bored, slightly condenscending look on his face. But he can be useful, digging for gossip in upscale venues, representing the team at meets where knowing which fork to use actually matters, soothing ruffled egos, and occasionally leveraging his looks and fame to acquire vital information or assistance.

Designer notes: This is a character built to concept, so it actually turned out fairly well - making background based decisions does not always result in a cohesive character in Life Modules. The idea was an idle rich brat becoming a runner; partly disillusionment with his shallow life, part jaded thrill-seeking, and maybe a bit of idealism or straightforward greed in the mix. The modules practically picked themselves until I got to Real Life, where I finally went with Celebrity to depict someone who coasted along, then found out he could still coast along after university. His "job" basically consists of sharing his partying lifestyle and so-very-important opinions with the masses.
Like the ever-popular ex-stripper, this character made most sense as a face type. I made the assumption that he is not a complete neophyte to the shadows at this point, and gave him a few low-rated basic runner skills. Normally, I wind up buying off the negative qualities from life modules - too often, they fit that stage of a character's life, but not the end character. In this case, I actually kept them. The SIN because of the combination of celebrity, trust fund, and day job; the prejudice because it also makes sense for him to be a bit of a snob. I rounded him out with a few others. The day job, already explained; distinctive style because I see him as the type to stand out; and "Did you just call me dumb?" because he is the type to drop in what he considers witty bon mots.
Possible Changes: He is built with the assumption that life modules characters don't get the free contacts or knowledge skills. If they do in your campaign, then make the following changes: add French: 6 and Salish: 6 languages to knowlege skills; increase the Loyalty of the Club Owner, Fixer, and Meta Rights Activist by one each; for skills, increase artisan and intimidation to 2, increase leadershp to 3, and add a specialization in semi-automatics to his pisols skill.
