Ok... here's my draft for a human rigger. Sorry the formatting is slightly off. I did have all the prices on there too but it looked really cluttered so I took them out (I still have it all on my word doc though if I need to check it). This is my first rigger so if anyone has suggestions speak up! Note this guy is not supposed to be a hacker or usurping control of enemy drones - he concentrates on shooting and rigging his own machines.

Background and Personality
“Hey baby, ain’t you ‘Burto Keppa? From Combat Biker?”
“Drek yes, chicka. Umberrrto Keh-pah. He is me. I would give autograph, but my eyes are locked on your angelic face. Now enough talk about you. Let’s talk about me.”
Umberto Keppa is a 5’10” spanish male of 48 yrs, with silver-black hair, trimmed goatee, brown eyes and a wiry build. He mostly wears stylish shirts and pants covered with his favourite long coat, a dark purple number with the “Combat Biker” TV logo embroidered on the left shoulder.
Umberto remembers the good times of the 50’s with great fondness. Back then he was a member of Team Soza: North American Combat Biker League, Seattle Division. He spent a good decade playing the game he loved until a horrific accident almost killed him, severing his spine and crushing his right arm beyond repair. Left with an expired contract but large insurance payout, Umberto replaced his damaged nerves and limbs with cyber, and tried to get himself an ordinary job.
Things didn’t work out. He didn’t like taking orders from limo companies or taxi despatches. He had skills fraggit, skills for finesse and danger, for big payoffs - not dropping rich brats to school playgrounds. So after a time Umberto turned his skills to the only market that offered him what he needed: the shadow community.
For the last 10 years Umberto has been employed as a driver, smuggler and “combat rigger” in and around the Seattle ‘plex. Under the alias "Jink", he’s used and abused scores of vehicles in that time, and despite the years a few people still recognise him as “that old biker guy from the fifties”. And Umberto loves it when they do.
Over the years he’s had many relationships, and was even married briefly in the late 50’s, prior to his big accident. He has a son from that marriage, now aged 16. He doesn’t see Vito much, he’s his own man now, but Umberto still loves him.
The last few years have been unkind to the old biker. A number of smuggling runs went south, and he lost a ton of nuyen on damaged vehicles and goods. As a consequence he became heavily indebted to the Seattle Mafia (to the tune of $45,000, with interest accruing a $4,500 a month), and now spends his time trying to pay them back. He has missed a few payments in the past, resulting in a “transient” lifestyle in which he “moves around” a lot, living in his van, or “swagger wagon”, as he likes to call it.
Personality wise Umberto is generally loyal, brave and a little reckless. He’s old school – still using “proper” phrases like drek, frag and chummer. He’s survived near death experiences multiple times and is pretty sure he’s had a good life, despite everything. Sure, he can be a little arrogant, a little delusional (like when he thinks he’s still a “ladies man”), and a little annoying (“I’m just pullin’ over to check that Charger X50 – did you see the rims on that thing - wizza!”), but overall he’s solid. Umberto recognises that his increased use of cyber in recent years has made him a little less sensitive - he’s not adverse to blowing things up (in fact he quite likes explosives) and will shoot a fool in the face if he must - but he’s no stone cold killer. He's just on old driver chasing fast cred.
