I had a vision of a technomancer biker-ganger type, that could grow into rigging if desired.
I am not super thrilled about how it turned out... just being a van rigger would be simpler, but I was feeling a suped up bike type.
Concept:
Uses Drugs/machine sprites to get driving/gunnery pools/initiative on suped up bike. Capable enough non-rigger driver, but can grow into rigging with rigging echoes. Suped up cyberarm with Diagnostics used for pistol/clubbing while on bike, as well as filled with fun extras. High skills allows for character to not be drag to team when being on a bike isn't an option.

Major Red Flags:
Skills A - other ways of building just didn't turn out right, at least in priority. Sumtoten and Karma may work different. Karma is probably the best way to build this character. My spread could be more efficient too, and would love some advice!
Multiple Combat Options - goes against my general advice in this regard to keep combat options to one or two skills. I just had a vision of a biker who can use hand held weapons and their bike weapon (and a throwing option) while on a bike.
Lucky Diagnostics Dependent - Registering Lvl 4 sprites for this character is not easy (Low Res, Lowish Edge), let alone getting a Diagnostics role of 4+. But the character is optimized for a cyberarm sprite and a bike sprite (max herd is two with Logic 2).
Low Reaction/Agi/Logic: While I tend to rule jumped in rigging uses physical stats and not mental, key driving/rigger stats are not high. Judicious drug use, diagnostics, and an eventual control rig echo help, but dicepools are kind of cobbled from more sources than usually seen.
Advice requested! This is prob going to be moved into the NPC bin, but I would like the concept to better work as a PC. I did just make a last minute skills switch (from Electronics group 4 and Auto Mechanic 4 to Outdoors group and Software 4) to give the character a likely more unique outdoors niche (and let a decker handle hardware/computer stuff).
