"BP Totals:  750 = 30 + 195 + 30 + 35 - 35 + 78 + 50 + 6 (weapon focus) + 11"
Should be 400.

Some GM's would have a problem with taking so many skill(groups) (and knowledges, but you fixed that in the new build) at 1; personally I'd think it's OK, provided you can come up with a reason for it. Always being on the run and needing to hide in a new role (Pretender) or something the like?
Hm, then again, Eidetic Sense Memory could be an excuse, just stuff you picked up by watching it and understanding it, but never having practiced it yourself. Yeah, makes sense.

Are you certain you got the attributes right? I see 195+30 on att's, so that's 195 on stats and 30 to make the magic 4, right? But with the essence you lost, you don't have 4 Magic but only have 2 left... Didn't redo the math though, so I might be missing something.

Thank you.  And I goofed up on that, I thought Essence Loss only dropped your Maximum Magic.  So I've got Magic 2.  Eidetic Sense Memory and Mind Over Matter, probably.
Have to get the other stuff upon Initiation.  And Divining, so I'd probably get Astral Sight with it.  This character is totally a Diviner, Arcana+Logic?  If I had more points, I'd put a point into Arcana and Assensing, but oh well.  I don't want to drop Cracking.

EDIT: I need to juggle some Gear around and get a Synergist Long Coat.  And maybe get a cheaper, and less hillbilly-styled vehicle.  Maybe the Thundercloud Morgan, cheap, fast, handles well, but there's not a lot of room.
EDITEDIT: Drop the Oxygenated Fluorocarbons for a Synergist set; the Flurocarbons give +1 Agility, which I don't think would stack with the Mind Over Matter.

agree, Divining would be awesome. He could just brag about and state his intellect can reach beyond the space-time barrier for a more metaphysical approach. More down-to-earth would be "by connecting all the dots and evaluating all possible outcomes, I predict...."

I think this character might just about be Ready for the Black Book.
I kinda want to get climbing gloves and a little survival equipment, oh, and bullets, but that's mostly nitpicking.  Anyone think of anything I missed?

Need to decide on the Contacts, but I might just go with "11 points of Contacts" and define them before a campaign starts.

I think this is Missions legal.
It's a shame, I'd really, really like to get in on the official campaign, but I think the nearest GM is about 160km away.

You know who this character makes me think of?  Zhuge Liang.
Lived a simple life in the countryside, but his reputation as a scholar and a strategist was such that Liu Bei visited him and begged for his advice.

I could see her as a Wuxia heroine.

Also, for some reason, I really like the line "Dear, it's not that we don't love you, we really do.  We just love our successful children more." or "And we have to ration our love accordingly."
It just seems...well, you've got servants, and drones, and money, and excellent genetics...why not have dozens of children?

Huh, apparently I get 4 more points to play with; binding the weapon focus is 2 BP, not 6.  Not really sure what other skills I want to take...can't really take Assensing until I initiate and get Astral Perception.

I'm kinda drawing a blank on contacts.  Maybe a talismonger, the Atlantean Foundation, a Street Doc.  A fixer, I guess.  ShadowSEA seems like a really expensive cop-out.

I like multitasking better, but Eidetic Sense Memory makes for a better fit.  And it feels cheap, but I might take the Extravagant Eyes Negative; totally blue within blue. ;D

More importantly, upon further review, I'm a glass cannon in a fight; killer attack, but since all defence is tied to Reaction, I've got a much lower defence.  Full defence 1Gymnastics+3Reaction means 4 dice.  Melee parry adds two more for the foci.
Would forgetting about dodging and just stacking on extra armor work?  I can probably live with losing some dice from my attack; maybe throw on an armor jacket or something?

I'm going to guess it's the Watchers from Green Lantern.
