Thank you everyone for your feedback.  The below update incorporates some of the feedback, but not all.  I almost didn't take Astral Hazing as I didn't want my guy to be a changling... but then I figure it actually made sense in a way.  His already a bit of a freak with his magic resistance, what if its all connected? 

The magic resistence, high willpower, adrenaline pump, daredrenaline and astral haze are a good combination.  The mix of astral haze, nasty vibe and intimidation.. his a bit creepy actually...

Added Judas because its a fun quality for the GM to play with.  Combined with the 'Enemy' and the plot thickens...

The bike was expensive... but so worth it...  maybe :)  Given its speed and the character's weak bike skills and the daredrenaline's thrill seeking effects and the adrenaline pump going off when he gets too excited and it could be the death of him :)

You are not that bad at driving. Reaction 9 is a good basis for manual driving your bike and a dicepool at 12 is above norm average.

I would drop Strength 1 and raise body to 5. That would give you even more armor capacity and an extra condition track.
Strength 5 is the same damage base as 6 so you wouldn't loose anything there.

Cybereyes are kind of expensive and they cost essence. You could get the same benefits from contact lenses and glasses for much less nuyen.

You could save 8 BP and drop your specializations and buy then for karma after your first run.

Very nice concept and looks extremely effective!

I would recommend a spoof chip and morphing license plate for the Mirage, its another 1500 NuYen, but those pay off quickly, when you speed right through downtown...

Thanks Rasmus,

Made the Body/Strength change, though his unaugmented strength is now 1.  His was a bit of a weak chummer prior to his augmentation..  Maybe he was vat grown...

He has rating 4 glasses which come with Ultrasound and smartlink. They are fully at capacity.  I don't feel comfortable mixing contacts and glasses together.  I might instead splash out for some goggles.  The only issue I have with goggles is that they seem so obvious and indiscrete.

I've ended up with 1bp left and I have no idea how to spend it.  I am at max gear (250,000 nuyen).  Everything else cost more then 1 pt...

Increase the rating of one of your contacts.

Thanks Char and Rasmun.  I made those changes you noted and his all finished and ready to go. 

I did all the work in Herolab and can provide in either PDF or herolab file for anyone who would like a copy?

Thanks All!
