The Story of "CX" begins with a Shadowrun that went sideways. 

The mission was easy enough, break in, steal some data, destroy the research, return to Mr J...

However when the "research" turned out to be a dwarf in a glass tube, well a couple felt they should save him, and that is what they did.  After rescuing him demolished the lab.

Hiding the fact they had rescued him (and leaving an unfortunate casualty in the lab).  They returned to Mr J, and got CX (named from the file name) set up with a fixer and a new life

CX has a very childlike outlook on the world, he has not seen much of the world, and while he has been "programed" with knowledge about the world, he has never "seen" it...

While I don't think Hero Lab would make said change, TMs get two more Complex Forms from Priority/Sum. Tis in the errata forum.

An all C techno makes for a rough hacker...  it's tough to be a decker at skills c as is, and a res c/skills c decker is going to have an even harder time getting technomancery skills.  You can't even register sprites, which is the best part of sprites.

That edge 1 is going to be rough... 

If going to be a hacker, I wouldn't worry to much about having/keeping a high resonance. You only need a Resonance 1 to have a living persona. Getting noise reducers, Narco, and other hacking helping 'ware would be worth it than trying to be prototype transhuman and ditching edge. 

I might try an all C techno as a more high agility/shooty character, with Diagnostics to help shooting. Perhaps an Agi 7 elf? Muscle toner 2, Narco and some nephritic screens, implanted smartlink, and some cyberears with antennae? Only cost 1 essence and about 110k (enough nuyen leftover for gear).  At skills C, you can see/sneak/shoot and still have some room for software/compiling/registering.

As a Puerto Rican, I understand that the Spanish I speak is a bit different than what they speak in Mexico or Spain. But in no way is it distinct enough to be considered a separate language. Atzlaner Spanish 5 as its own language makes no sense to me.... it should be, IMHO of course, Spanish (Atzlaner) 4(+2).
