Well, mine isn't street legends.  And I sort of hope they don't require game statistics for every character ...

Depends on what it's for.  Stats are a blessing and a curse.  And something about half the folks want, and half don't want. 

I think stats can help give the character a bit more dimension.  You can't always fit into a write up that Character X likes to doodle comics in his spare time, either due to word count (the dreaded word count!) or because it just doesn't fit thematically.  But you can slip Artisan (Comics) and Knowledge (Comic Art) in their stat block.

It would amuse me to see Puck do a writeup on Pax and Deus.

As a GM I like stat blocks, all it takes is a pencil to change Bull to Ox , a Cutters personal assistant to the VP.

I'd like to know more about...

Puck. What the HELL happened to him? Nevermind that his handle is the name of my favorite character from Shakespearean plays and I pay closer attention to anyone named 'Puck', I genuinely wanna know more.

Clockwork. He's an ass, but every story has one and needs one. What the hell is his deal and what's the bug up his ass?

/dev/grrl. Her write-ups in Attitude make me kinda curious. How did a relative newbie to the shadows get an invite onto Jackpoint, and why? Especially for someone so young...

I hesitate to say it. Ghostwalker and Lofwyr. Great Dragons in general. Or maybe release several transcripts of interviews with Dunkelzahn that cover Great Dragon lives. Very, unbelievably curious about the dragons.

Clockwork (along with Ma'Fan, Sticks, Picador and NetCat) all have write-ups in Runner's Companion, although they are not stat write-ups, but simple profiles.

...Funny how I never noticed that before. I've never gone past page 166 in RC. I feel bad now for not having noticed that.

I want stats for Clockwork.

That way, if I ever play, I can hunt the slot down and punch the clock.  A lot.

I said it there and I'll say it here ... I want to know more about /Dev/Grrl, personally. There's a damn good story there.

I second this.  I think it would be interesting to get background on her motivations not to mention her back story.

I would like to get information on some of the IA's that are running around 2072 just to scare the crap out of my PCs. *Grins Evilly*

Usmondo, Hecate, Lady of the Court, and Jungle Cat would all be interesting to learn about. Looking through the old Aztlan book, I know about Big D, Laughing Man, and Wordsmyth. Who ever hacked and posted that conversation would be interesting too.

I thought that was obvious.  But then, I thought the Arcology situation was obvious, too...

These are the beans.
