Hello fellow shadow runners. Can you help me make an AI drone rigger trucker? I am told to do a prime runner with the sum to 12. I want to drive a hellhound from the rigger book. How should I make my character? Can someone help me make most of my character? I know that I need a RCC, an I-doll, and a few rotodrones with some swarmers. Laser guns are awesome for my character! How do we modify me some great rotodrones? I want the piolet origins quality (both ground and aircraft). I want to do some smuggling as well.

First off, I don't normally do riggers, let alone smugglers, but this list should help.
Upgrade the I-doll.
Lasers are forbidden and would draw unwanted attention.
3 or so Fly-Spies for extra eyes.
Some Dragonflies for dealing with small enemy drones.
RPD-X1 Ferrets with a more useful weapon that a Defiance Shocker is a cheap swarm.
Vulcan Liegelord has good stats but 66k might be a little high.
As for smuggling, that would depend on what you plan on smuggling.
The Mack might be a choice for vehicles.
Look at RV's and SUVs for smaller loads.

Try this Sum to 12:
Metatype: AI C (0)
Attributes: B (10)
Depth: E (1)
Skills: B (36/5)
Resource: B (325,000)

Don't AI characters need high depth? The Mack Hellhound is what I want. What mods do I want on my drones and truck? Do I want a modified Roto Drone or 2 as well? How should we build more of my characters skills and qualities?

Does it have to be an AI ?

Even at Sum-2-12 that is just pulling points into areas that aren't normally where Riggers go.

Rigger need Lots of Cash & Lots of Skills,  so going AI really pulls from what a Rigger needs to be.

With Sum-2-12 you could have a Human character that is MAXED in Attributes, Resources, & Skills while still having 3 Edge.
Heck, even 4-5 Edge is very doable by burning some Char-Gen Karma.

Anyway, its just a thought.

How a bout not being lazy and actually make a character yourself.
Then you post it and ask for opinions.
People will dissect it and give you criticism.
You then take the suggestions you like and incorporate it into your character.

What are great professions for an AI character?

I think the Piloting origin only allows for one type of vehicle to be chosen, so this concept may be DOA right there...

[RiggerBob]

... and for using it's depth as pilot on every drone it's loaded to
... and for using autosofts instead of skills (3k ¥ for rating 6 skills alone can make this concept work  )

Metasapients get Codeslinger as a racial too.

It's one class of vehicles (groundcraft, aircraft etc.) btw... even if the vehicle has no rigger adaption

Racial Qualities
Codeslinger

Real World Naivete

Other Qualities
Distinctive style (Anthropomorphic Tiger I-Doll and persona)
Day Job Trucker 20 hours a week 2,500 nuyen

Ninja Vanish
Curiosity killed the cat

I have 1 karma left over. Do I need to change anything?
 

[Pap Renvela]

Looks like you have Metasapient B, Attributes A, Depth C, Skills B, and who knows what resources but it aint E if you have an I-Doll:
that's at least Sum to 13, so this is not even remotely legal.

Distinctive style (Anthropomorphic Tiger I-Doll and persona) but you spend time ot of it- 3 piloting skills otherwise. How is it distinctive if you spend time outside it.
?

Codeslinger requires clarification.

Real World Naivete- but he spends 20 hours a week interacting with the real world.

I used karma to increase Depth. I have used the sum of 12 and prime runner rules. Which is ok with my GM.

C-Metatype
B-Attributes
E-Depth
B-Skills
B-Resources ($325,000)

My character is more of a silent type. Her matrix self is an Anthropomorphic Fox woman. She is able to interact with the world but she is a young AI with a mind of a 20-year-old. A mind of an AI matures faster than a metahuman but their experience is minimal. An AI can become an adult in 3 years according to the game lore. What should I do with code slinger quality? I will remove Real World Naivete after the game starts.

[fseperent]

Hack on the fly would be the ideal choice given Curiosity killed the cat.
I would also suggest taking the karma from depth increases and use some of it to remove naivety so you don't get hit by penalties when driving in meat space, as well as improving influence skill group to 3.

Don't Riggers need Gunnery?

I'd probably put all 5 Group Points into Cracking

When I read your first post for some reason my brain saw sum to 10, not the 12 that you wrote.

Do AI's need the piloting skills?
