Nice concept

Social stress- I think you need to choose a trigger
Buying of uneducated during character generation only cost 8 karma.

You can only have 1 attribute at racial maximum, this means you cant have body or strength higher than 1, without hitting that racial maximum.

your physical limit is likely horrible ( 4 with your current body2, Rea4, str 2) and will likely drop to 3 when reducing Str and/or body. Your sneaking, gymnastics and or some explosive-placement rolls, would likely suffer from this limiting factor.

You should look into mentor spirits, Im pretty sure you can find one that fits your theme.

You lack a weapon skill, if you are going with the monofilament whip, I would suggest you invested some points into the skill, so you dont slice yourself into bite sized fairy powerbars. You could use some of the points saved by buying off uneducated to buy your rating 2 skills with karma, thus freeing up more skillpoints.

Thanks didn't realize it only costs 8.to buy off. Can't really get my body or str higher to make my limit higher my concept for now is pretty much the pixie hides when combat starts.social stress trigger will be discussed with  I was thinking of taking mentor spirit just didn't look into it close enough for this character due to limited karma

Check out the errata for Street Grimoire. The Commanding Voice power is changed from what you have. It's now Authoritative Tone and costs .5 PP per level.

This character is exceptionally MAD. You want to be good at CHA stuff, good at one specific LOG thing, and good in a particular form of melee combat, along with covering the bases all runners want.

Your initiative is 1d6+8 - that's junk for anyone who is going to fight on a regular basis.

Defense pool of 8, no combat sense, no Too Pretty to Hit = you're going to be 1-shot easily. And that WILL happen when you break out the whip.

Biotech group is very low value.

11 dice to hit with the whip isn't exactly impressive.

Just trying to do too much and being "meh" at all of it. When you NEED high CHA and LOG for your concept, two stats that are usually exclusive, maybe rethink things.

Without even touching on the mechanics component all I can say is if this character is a SR face, that has both Social Stress and Combat Paralysis, that is close enough to dead man walking as far as I am concerned. There are so many negative qualities, get an addiction, get distinctive style, get anything but get those off the sheet.

originally he wasn't going to be at all combat oriented. Just a face that can blow things up and sincey logic and charisma are high I don't see how it's mutually exclusive.I can easily take off the one combat oriented skill.which I was dubious with at Best and those two negative qualities are there for reasons but I thank you for the input

Well, combat is going to happen and it's important to have a plan for it. If you never actively participate in combat it may irritate the people you're playing with.

I made a pixie adept myself at one point (he has never seen any actual play time though)
You can use it for inspiration or what to avoid, if you are so inclined :)
