I totally goofed on the qualities BP and forgot restricted gear. My bad.

IPA Body is better than Mystic Armor. 1 more body is 1 more resistance and 2 more armor, and it costs less than 2 armor.

You are going to be very meh at Strength skills and at Logic skills, at best. I would drop a point off both, and use it to be better at doing magical things. Magic is very versatile and can contribute to solving a whole variety of problems.

I would also shave some of the skills. Specifically, I suggest cutting the following:

-1 Logic, -1 Strength
-2 Shadowing (reason: spirits are really, really, obscenely good at following people due to being astral and having Search).
-1 Computer (you aren't going to be good with computers. Buying off Uneducated is good enough that you can do basic things without rolling).
-1 Influence (skill boosters are more efficient)

That will free you up 42 desperately needed points. Even if you do want to have 1 rank in some skills I still recommend doing this, because they are 4 karma to get later, and a power focus is much, much harder to get later. Right now you can't actually cast spells well enough for it to help you, and you have to fix this.

I count 30 qualities. I would swap Erased out, and get Restricted Gear and Mentor: Raven (-5 points), get that badly-needed power focus so you can actually do magical things (-24 points to buy and bind it), raise Spellcasting to 4 (-8 points), and buy Summoning 1 (-4). I don't know what you do with the last 1 point.

If you really really REALLY want erased, you should probably drop Raven for it. I don't think it's worth losing Raven for.

Powers: Mystic Armor is always worse than Combat Sense, but both are rather pricey. I would drop the Mystic Armor for +2 Critical Strike, +1 IA Unarmed, and +1 Combat Sense. Living Focus is actually not that bad if your GM is going to let you "roll it in" with Sustaining and use Heightened Concentration, assuming that you do have a mage in your group who has a spell you want cast on you all the time.

At that point, I think you are set. Mystic Adepts always start out really, really tight on points and have to expand, but this will let you start out being able to fight very well, face well, and do some useful magical stuff.

[rasmusnicolaj]

I agree with Umaro on his points.
Maybe you should take Powerbolt or similar as one of your spells. You will not be very good at it, but at least you have a ranged attack.

Use the last BP on either boosting a contact rating or get a little more gear (maybe Summoning materials) or an extra month of rent paid up front.

Movement+Pixie=Ranged Attack

Also, I think your street name is suboptimal. I suggest changing it to "Tinkerballa."

You took Savate as your martial arts.  That is French KICKboxing.  It is performed with shoes on (as opposed to most other similar arts which are barefoot).  It is also part of the roots of Urban Brawl.  There are four strikes (jab, cross, hook, uppercut) and four kicks (roundhouse, reverse hook, side kick and sweep).  If you're wearing that jacket, you'll be grounded so consider how the fights go, particularly against larger people when you're on the ground.  On the plus side, they probably can't reach you with their hands.  That's probably the only time you'd use a sweep kick.   If you're facing off against similar sized opponents, maybe as big as dwarfs, you could pull out the whole pallet of attacks.  In the air, you lose the benefit of good footing, so spinning attacks would still be effective but not so much the direct strikes.

In any case, your power strikes are going to be kicks.  So you might want to put your hardliners and shock gloves into the boots.  Which is basically a steel toed boot and maybe one of those slide out knives.  And if you're going to be "in your face" about stuff, I don't see the point of spending extra on hardliners when a pair of brass knuckles (which go well with steampunky theme) work just as well.

[CitizenJoe]

Ultimately, you want to replicate shoryuken

[UmaroVI]

I'm pretty sure Savate+Sonic Aura = Pixie Guile.

[CitizenJoe]

Actually, there is an Australian Savate style too.  And everything goes with Guile's theme

[CitizenJoe]

wait... why did I always get the impression that Guile was Australian?

[Ajax]

Okay, here we have Isabelle Créer, Mk. 3. I'm just posing the raw text from Chummer as it is proving a pain to pretty it up everytime I post it. I've incorporated most of Umaro's new round of suggestions, cut down on the geas on my Adept Powers (I had failed to notice that SR4 has two seperate geas systems  )  I've picked up a Power Foci R.4, a forensics toolkit,  lodge materials, a microskimmer drone, and, just for fun a "Pet License - Sapient Critter, Pseduoavian, Imported." so that my pixie can be the "legally" owned pet of the non-existant Elf that the fake SIN is connected too.

And, sorry Umaro, I know that the 6/2 protection from Form-Fitting Armor would be better... but I just cannot bring myself to give up my beloved Vashon Island Steampunk ensemble. A girl has to have her haute couture, just because I'm invisible doesn't mean I can't look good.

== Description ==
An attractive female pixie, approximately 18" tall, dressed in stlyish steampunk fashions: goggles, aviator's slacks, and a lace-and-leather corset. Transluscent dragon-fly wings sprout from between her shoulder blades, just above the corset... in bad weath, she throws a light-weight pleather "bomber jacket" overtop (but this restricts her wings).

When in public, she almost always uses her natural Concealment power and will often engage the ruthenium polymers on her clothing as well. She does not like drawing undue attention to herself if she can avoid it.

== Background ==
Subject Isabelle Créer du Paix (#72CP88) has a very clear data trail for her childhood and teenage years. Subject was born 1 April, 2046, to a suburban enclave of pixies near Portland. Exact parentage is unknown as the Créer du Paix Enclave practice line marriage and raise children communally. Unlike many non-metahuman sapients around the globe the Créer du Paix Enclave appears to be intergrationist and techologically progressive. Isabelle has Tir citizenship, was educated in public schools, and even attended Portland Community College for two semesters in her late teens. No reliable data trail has been round for Subject between 2063-67, likly as a result of dataloss during Crash 2.0. Itis known subject dropped out of college during this time, relocated to the Seattle metroplex, and began to associate with Claude Sinjin, an elvish private detective (see file #72CP88/Contact_01). Subject appears to have spent several years as Det. Sinjin's apprentice/assistant, it is unknown how the pair met or why they seperated.

@CitizenJoe: I'm very aware that savate has a strong emphasis on kicks, but boxe française just seems to be perfect for a pixie for story reasons (the largest population of them lives in France, I gave  Isabelle Créer du Paix a French ancestry, etc.) and it works great mechanically as it is one of the Martial Arts that grants +1DV as an Advantage. Also, so far as I know, in Shadowrun unarmed strikes can come from fists, feet, knees, headbutts, or whatever you want unless a particular weapon or technique is being used... Like Kick Attack, which I plan to pick up tout suite. My GM would probably approve of a pair of Hardliner boots, and we all know what faeries wear.

My soul weeps at your armor. I understand the desire to play My Pretty Pixie Shadowrun Dressup, so let me suggest some alternatives that are less likely to result in Pixie Swiss Cheese. Attitude is the book for all your princess-fantasy related needs, and has an entire section on steampunk fashion.

My suggestion, which is optimized for maximum fanciness:

FFBA (6/2, counts as 3/1)
Carbon-Boron Threading Clockwork Vest (2/3)
Softweave Quizzel Dragon Wings (1/1, counts as 0/1)
PPP Shin Guards (discrete version) (0/1)

Optional: Vashon Island (Shiawase Fashion) clothing (500Y, it is 0/0 armor that you wear because it looks cool); see Attitude 174.
Women's Faraday Fan (not particularly useful, but hey).

This setup gets you proper armor, you look cool (and I personally find the idea of a pixie with steampunk dragon wings hilarious), and the clockwork vest's special ability is actually reasonably useful; you can carry stuff like your commlink in it.

[CitizenJoe]

[Ajax]

Huh, I own a PDF copy of Attitude, I guess I need to read more than the music chapter... 

[Ajax]

Apologies for the double post, but this is unrelated to the above, and it has been a while since I posted it.  The player we were counting on as our hacker has dropped out.  Looks like I won't be playing my Tinkerbrawl character afterall... 

Hmm... Pixie Combat-Hacker. I wonder.

[UmaroVI]

Just make a troll, but wear Quizzel Fairy Wings.
