[Liam oConnor]

A character-concept, that has spooked around in my head for some time now, it exists in several variants, but this is the one I like best.
(The other variants are a Fomori and another Elf, quite similar, but using two Knifes/Weapon-Foci)
I generated this one (and all variants) using the Karma-Generation-System (and I still have the feeling that I missed something rather expensive, because it worked so well).

The character is supposed to travel all over the UCAS, with no real home and living from day to day, going after rumors of ghost-sightings, curses and rogue-mages.

What do you think?

You forgot to get a Lifestyle. For someone on the road that would basically define what kind of motels/hotels you're staying at, what kind of food you get when you stop to eat, etc. If you're staying self-contained (backpacking it, etc) and want a bit more realistic, I might suggest picking up "Safehouses" and use the descriptions for most of the Lifestyle Categories since they better equate to a mobile life than the standard descriptions.

Also, your Contacts wouldn't travel with you, so be sure to figure out where each one of them lives.

You're a mystic adept with 0 spellcasting and no spells?

You can't take Sorcerous Parry higher than 2, it can't exceed 1.5*skill.

Elf costs 30, not 35.

I'm not sure you are "missing something" so much as "way too spread out." Like, I don't think you can actually take a force 5-6 spirit in a fight.

For lifestyle you could get a car upgraded with a lifestyle.
That doesn't really cover the part of lifestyle that pays for food and cloth though.

And I have to agree with Umaro that you pay way to much for being a Mystic Adept and then not really use it for much and you are spread way to thin. A dedicated spellslinger with a couple of spirits would whipe the floor with you
