my gm vetoed my character saying i should change it, but i wasn't inclined to play him any other way.
so i got the idea to make a completly new one based on mcgyver
i am positivlely sure he needs the jurryrigger quality but im on a los on how to divide his stats, skills, etc....
without going over 400BP
any suggestions and mcgyver trivia are welcome 
Whenever we try to replicate awesome Characters from other areas (Fiction TV, books, comics, movies etc), it's very hard to squeeze the requirements into a starting character, especially if comparing a late season character to a newb shadowrunner.
MacGuyver/RDA/o'Neil demonstrated a massive amount of high-skill abilities over his years of TV, so it would be unreasonable to squash them into a newb runner that could do everything.
I believe there's another thread where a player wants to emulate everyone's favourite comic mercenary, '
Deadpool'. Again, you just can't pack everything Deadpool does into a starting PC...
So, what can you start with?
- The Attitude (
note: MacGuyver was incredibly easygoing and positive, while o'Neil was more of a scoundrel with a sarcastic wit)
- High Key attributes especially the key ones of Logic, Charisma and Intuition
- Qualities that will serve the PC for ever (like Juryrigging, First Impression etc)
- Some of the skills, generally at lower levels. No, I'm sorry, you can't shut down a nuclear reactor with a paperclip, but you can still perform science-based feats beyond the ken of normal men!
Honestly, I'd make MacGuyver a Physad, but focus on things like Increased Skill (technical skill) and Increased Attributes to just get ratings that go through the roof, and a lot of Pain Tolerance and Mystic armour!
That way, you know MacGuyver is more than Mundane, but not a combat junkie
And maybe an Internal High-End commlink with Computer skill, so that while he's not a big hacker, he can get any information he needs on the fly, even when captured by those dastardly villains
