Oh darn are we all using BP? I made mine with 750 karma... Will re-do.

Oh and farothel, no kinesics? I like it, a relic hunter face.

Not enough points.  Maybe if I ever initiate.  Although I'd rather go for those new powers in Spy Games (1000 faces: see, yesterday I was a troll, tomorrow I'll be an elf for a change).

I wish I had spy games for my infiltrator

Most of it may be out of reach for now, you'll probably have an opportunity to upgrade with the SG stuff.

Rebuilt my character with 400 BP... sacrifices had to be made, but he's close to the original concept. Will post later today once I finish tweaking the gear.

So, if I take Imrpoved Reflexes 2 (normal cost: 3 magic points) as a Adept Way, I save 0.75 points but have to pay 5BP?

No there are specific qualities all 10BP
for example Invisible Way (I put the 2 for book-keeping)
Quote
The Invisible Way
Cost: 10 BP
Spies and thieves of the highest order, the adepts who stalk
along the Invisible Way are not to be underestimated. Characters
with this uality may purchase the following powers at a 25 percent
discount (rounding as normal), selecting one power for every two Magic points: Cloak, Enhanced Perception, Facial Sculpt, Improved
Ability (Physical Skills), Freefall, Great Leap, Improved Senses,
Melanin Control, Nimble Fingers, Rush, Traceless Walk. In addition,
they receive a +1 to Initiate grade for purposes of the Masking and
Flexible Signature techniques.

It also gives you access to a way-specific power, In this case:
Quote
Unseen Hands
Cost: 0.5 per level (max 3 levels)
Inisible Way Adepts Only
Adepts with this power are masters of remaining hidden,
whether it be by clinging to shadows or remaining unseen in the midst
of a crowd. Each level applies a +1 bonus when making Disguise,
In ltration, Palming, or Shadowing skill checks.

Here is my character - if there is anything I missed please let me know especially with drone sensors.

Real Name: Adriana Maria Veliz
Street Name: Boosts
Race: Human
Sex: Female
Nationality: Hispanic   
Lifestyle: Middle (Apartment in Redmond, near Touristville) – 1 month prepaid
Starting Nuyen:
Physical Description: 
Hair: Black (long, usually under a baseball cap)
Eyes: Black
Height: 5’3”
Weight: 122
Age: 19
Personality:

There are those people out there who are sometimes hot and sometimes cold, Boosts is always fire. She likes tricked out engines, smoking rims and expensive sound systems.  When she is behind the wheel of a car (hers or someone else’s) she is all business, she is going to get where she needs to go as quickly as possible.  Sure she might run a few lights or pull a hairpin turn, but she knows she has got the skills to make it. She likes auto-shows, cruising the streets – she wants to get noticed.

When not driving, Boosts likes the party.  She was heavy beats, a quick tempo and cheap alcohol.  She will make the rounds in her urban explorer jumpsuit (blue with yellow highlights like her car) or pop out in the latest street fashion (she likes ties).   

Found the inspiration for my character from my buddy's drawing: http://www.julianlytle.com/2007/11/05/hgic/

Background

Augustine “Tools” Veliz was a small time rigger in the early 50’s.  His career ended abruptly when a run in with a malicious spirit left him completely gray haired, suspicious of magic and deathly afraid of clowns. Turning off his engines, Tools opened a small garage in Everett, settled down and hoped that his children (he had five) would stay out of the Running business.  He seemed to get his wish with all of children except for his youngest – Adriana.

Adriana seemed always to be in trouble.  She would regularly sneak out, heading down to Redmond – running with go-gangs, partying all night, etc. She just loved getting the most thrills out of life as possible. Yet her father could never hold much against her because a) she was his youngest, his “Angelita” and b) she was the only one of his kids who had any interest in cars and auto mechanics.  To say that Adriana had an interest is putting things lightly, it was like she was born with a pair of sparkplugs in her mouth.  Adriana could just look at any vehicle and intuitively know how it worked; what it was capable of.  When she wasn’t out getting into trouble, Adriana would spend most of her hours at his shop, learning the tricks of the mechanic trade.  It was this freedom and knowledge that got her in trouble. 

At 15, Adriana got involved with a car thief ring that would steal cars in the North Seattle area.  She learned a little about hacking cars and the like.  At 16 she was arrested, earning herself a criminal SIN, and the disappointment of her family. Her father made her promise to stop stealing cars and, while she has kept that promise, she took up racing them instead.  First it was driving for others and then it was driving her own heavily modified Hydundai – “Faye Valentine” (Adriana is a bit of an Anime junky). Using her winnings, Adriana picked up a used SUV, a scooter and moved out of her parents’ house, although her family (parents, siblings, nephews/nieces) still requires a lot of her time.

Recently, Adriana has decided to follow in her father’s running footsteps, hopefully with more success.  She met Ready Eddy at his bar and he agreed to start setting her up with jobs. She has also formed a “friendship” with Jake Ellis, when he helped her gat a number of fake driver’s licenses. He has also started giving her tips on her Matrix persona, guiding her into an ok novice hacker. Adriana’s newest purchases are few drones, although she is still not completely comfortable using them.  She understands that it makes her more marketable, but not really her forte.  She feels bad about not telling her family about the life she has just started, but that guilt is deafened by a heavily revving engine.

Nobody else needs to pick up a vehicle anymore, we have more then enough (6 in total, although 3 are from the same person).  We can arrive on the scene with a Rover 2068 and two pick-up trucks.  Although I took a Hilux X, it has the stats of the GAZ-P179, but I just wanted to name it something else and I've always been a fan of Toyota (that episode of Top Gear where they try to crash the Hilux is one of their best).

So if we have any trolls, no problem, they can ride in the back of one of the pick-up trucks.

That's good, because my character's broke!

Originally my character had a Revolution monocycle with a sidecar and a Renraku Manservant (steampunked) riding there, but I lacked the funds. Pity, it was rather awesome.

Another bike... we're practically a Go-gang.

How do you end up with 5.52 Essence?  Even with deltaware, Muscle Replacement 1 would leave you at 5.5.  Just curious.

Just waiting on Ethan's character and going over everyone else's to make sure I have good understanding of what each character can and can't do, and what the group as a whole can manage.

Also waiting to so if Xzylvador was wanting to modify Rafa a little and play.

Larz, I still don't get where your essence total is coming from. Muscle Replacement is 1 per rating and skillswires is .2 per rating.

Onion, everyone gets Cha * 2 in free contact points in addition to Ready Eddy, so if I'm doing my calculations right you've got a few extra points.
