I got two words for you on the 1 Willpower. Stun Bolt.

[Jackleg Rooster]

With a rating 6 auto picker i don't think you need the lock picking skill at all.  also no combat skills. are you going to default on all that?

[Tsuzua]

I would drop the locksmith like it was a bomb.  You're rolling 12 dice without it with the autopicker which is more than enough.  I would get a weapon skill instead.  My suggestion is automatics since it's most well-rounded of the skills, but I can see the case for just pistols.

As for stun bolt, you're 2 dice down and 1 stun box below the 3 willpower guy.  Thus you'll take "1.66" more boxes of damage on average which is a drawback, but it isn't going to make or break you.  Against a decent or good mage, you're still going down.  That said, you could take points out of charisma and increase your Willpower to 3. 

I'll also suggest dropping Biocompatibility.  You're a mundane so you're soul isn't that important.  I'll cash that in for 50,000Y.  I'll grab muscle toner 2 and PuSHeD for 29,000Y.  After that, you ought to grab an IP booster like Wired Reflexes.  You should also strongly consider a replacement limb for a future nanite hive.

What exactly is your plan for this character?  A hacker who can sneak and fight?  A fighter/hacker/talker?  Or something else? 

[JmOz01]

I am looking at a long run character with large amounts of growth.  Primarily he is a infiltrator, sneaking, destroying, assasinations.

I do have a Karma plan that includes

Skill groups all skill groups 5 unless stated
Close
Ranged
Influence (4)
Athletics (4)
Stealth (6)

Individual skills, 4
Dodge (ranged)
Demolitions

Attributes
Body 4
Agility 6
Str 4
intuit 6
will  6

I also have a BUNCH of Bio/Cyber that I want to get (His final essence will be ~3.0).  However my GM throws to much nuyen at us, so want to wait a bit on that aspect

[JmOz01]

by the way what is Pushed?

[Operator]

Pushed is a hacker's best friend. It is featured in Augmentation (p.90) as a transgenic modification that improves Logic-linked skill tests by 1 die for a very low Essence and nuyen cost.

[JmOz01]

Yup, sounds interesting, for the record my bio/cyber dream list is at 4.25m NuYen (an amount he actualy had multiples of before the rebuild).  It does include a Half Cyberarm with nanohive.  If you want I can post it, it is still rough.

[JmOz01]

because of the backstory, I decided a very high willpower was more important than a high reflex.  However a reflex 1 SCARES me, so some cyberware to help out.  I upgraded his weapons, and droped his lockpicking (not sure how happy I am about this, as it does seem a skill he would need for his specialty).  Some other stuff as well

So I talked to my GM yesterday.  The group consentious is to keep our old characters  He said that he does not mind if I rewrite the character, to keep the karma, and that I can keep as much of his fortune as I need to be competent with the rest of the group.  So I basicaly have an unlimited supply of nuyen for gear.  I ditched almost all my gear, added lockipicking (I know, but I want it).  Put his Karma into his Reflexes (Brought it up to a 3), then decked him out in 5mil worth of Deltaware.  He is ready to play, and I thank everyone who helped out wtih it. 

[JmOz01]

Ran him today, things went really well (other than gremlins Screwing with my line gun)...
