just wondering what country are you from / what is your natural language?  I was stationed in Italy with the US Army.

@mwiland
Im from Czech republic
Character needs some work to be done yet, Ive got some objections and some ideas:
1) Ressonance difference is not accepted, but i lik the part that listed options could be used as the echoes.
2) Also the house rule for free contacts is not accepted.

There is little consistence between skills, knowledges, qualities and the background story. How long was his previous career as a cab driver? Maybe Home ground quality for Seattle streets would be in place, also navigation skill.

Daedalus is a Paragon of inventors.
1. you didn choose what advantage Daedalus will provide to you.
2. Drone B/R is not a knowledge, Technical skills are active skills. And even a machine sprite possess no Mechanic skill, just Hardware. Mechanic skills cannot be even defaulted. So, if you really want to walk the path of inventor, learn some.


That old man is deffinitely Daedaluses favourite , I als cannot help myself thinking that he has Jurryriger quality

If you like to be a dronomaster, you dont need the cracking skill group so high, electronic warfare can do most of the job. That should give you some more points to spend wisely on other skills needed.

Also..se p. 247, SRA. If you want to do any offensive actions using your drones, you better have a gunnery skill or some programs for this purpose.

i swapped out the skill 'pilot anthroform' with 'gunnary', swapped out 'more than metahuman' with 'sense of direction'.  i am also dropping Black Market Pipeline and reducing the CF stealth from 4 to 3,  reducing electronics skill group from 3 to 2, and reduced Jimmy's connection rating from 4 to 3, to recover the 5 points difference from the now disalowed free contacts house rule (3 of the 8 points were paid for origionaly) and adding Navigation at skill level 4.

I adjusted his knowledge skills to better represent his past history as a taxi driver as some of his customers were business people and some were people that like to go to clubs.

as for the mechanic skill thats what machine and tutor sprites are for due to their ability to have any autosoft (to include any technical skill, unwired pg 114.) remember i get one optional CF for every 3 raiting points.

end result please revisit my char sheet.

Edit:  i also added Juryrigger and reduced cracking skill group from 3 to 2

I had an idea a while back for a Sangre y Acero (trans.  "Blood and Steel", fighting style) pit fighting metahuman tank.   I've got some background for him but havn't quite figured out his personality yet.  I'l see if I can post his character sheet sometime later.

@Mwilland: looks better. Now. For Knowledge skills you got (int+log)x3 for free...but you didnt noticed that knowledge costs only 2BP, so you spent only half of your free pool enjoy the rest.
I see that with your knowledge you would be able to design plans for drones and your spirits are able to do the rest, perfect, but...you will need more than just a toolkit. Maybe you should get more Design and engineering knowledges with those knowledge points I mentioned. Also...thus your intuition and logic is 5 I dont think you should have any knowledge above 5.

An emergency is quite new phenomena (2-3 years, in fact), and if  were able to design vehicles or drones before emergency , maybe it should be part of your bio (your design knowledge is pretty high, so it wont just appear out of nowhere. You had studied it somewhere, or you learn those skills from some street mentor, I dont know. Well it is not much intuitive knowledge).

Jurryriger quality adss some advantages for using Mechanic skills. If you dont have any, it doesnt make sense to have this quality.

Also...I insist on using those Advanced lifestyle rules.

Try to rewrite the story and integrate your character to Auburn community. It is heavy industrial area, with most of people working as a labor force in factories, many of them manual workers and having some active technical skills. I think it is quite good comunity for your type of character.

Im sorry for all of this. I just want that characters are alive from the beginning till the possible end. The better background story, the better bonuses (free contacts, qualities, special gear etc...)

I hoped that someone would use the Martial arts rules. Go for it.
I also know Sangre y acero, one of my players is carribean pirate who fought his way to the top.  (actualy defeating concurent captain in the cage using this style

[Codac]

Sorry it's going to take me a bit more time than i thought because i need to reaquante myself with the matrix rules so I know what programs I'm taking.

Also the biodrone isn't going to be a guard dog cause there is just no way i can get a decent one at chargen so I'm going to have one (possible two) of the House Cat Mk. 2. Her parents bought it to watch her...and then she hacked it.

[Sichr]

@Codac: If you use the character editor I linked in my initial post (that .xls link, you will be able to work out any biodrone you want. just look at the sheet Pets, buy a pet and then buy any wares you want...besides....that generator also allows you to configure your lifestyle completely, like I wanted. It is amazing tool )

[Codac]

Ok cool I'll check it out. Though even if I get a dog I might still get one of the cats if I have the money it seems really useful.

[Sichr]

Ok your call. And please, when creating your bio, try to figure out if you are somehow integrated to the Auburn comunity or it is just a hideaway and you are trying to stay anonymmous, it means, how many and how good relationships do you have in your neighborhood...

@Sichr: small question, In Augmentation there is a cybersuite for lonestar officers, it exists of plastic bone lacing, wired reflexes I, smartlink, flare comp and thermovision
As a Troll I already have thermovision, and I would like cybereyes (the image recorder comes in handy with undercover work) can I still fit that in a cybersuite or do I have to take them seperatly?

[Xzylvador]

Just a reminder: you lose racial thermal vision if you get cybereyes, so make sure you buy it as cybereye mod.

[Sichr]

Xzylv is right, Cyber replacement destroys your original eye incl. natural TG.
I would prefere that you take this suite customized - Natural TG remains and it is replaced by recording unit in the suite.
If you realy think cyber eyes are better, you should have them implanted later, with -0,18 essence (hole when removing eye augmenatations that were part of cybersuite, considering that stadard, not alpha.).
Or you could upgrade the suite with more eye augmentations with 0,9 essence/cost multiplier, but no cyber eyes, and that would be part of original suite....

[mdp]

I'll Take the suite as follows: bone lacing plastic, wired reflexes I, smartlink, flare comp and rec unit eye augmentations and if possible an image link augmentation (can install it seperatly if needed)
BTW I was aware that the cybereyes would destroy the natural thermo vision

Ok take that Image link with 0,9 multiplier as a part of customized LS suite.
