Hi Everyone,

I am currently playing high power scenarios with a friend of mine. In most cases, there are only 2 of playing (the GM and the player; we alternate roles).

For character creation we use:
up to 485 BP (400 BP + 50 extra free BP of cash + an extra 35 BP of advantage if we want to)
then we have 200 karma points to spend
We can get any gear we want (as long as we have the cash).

Since we there are only the two of us, each character will need to very independent and polyvalent. What would you suggest?
I am currently playing a Han Solo concept but I am thinking of developing a new character concept. So far I haven't found something that excites me.
Please feel free to dump any idea for a character concept and i'll see what I can make of it!
Thanks in advance

What do you want to have?
Dakka: (an Idea I played with, you can pull it off in 400 BP but your rules will utilise it much better)
6 armed possession mage (voodoo) --> you can lay down Dakka to the max, you can summon a spirit to posses yourself and therefore get like any physical skill you ever need and immunity to normal weapons makes you a tank...
(with high velocity smgs you can do 12 medium bursts each round with normal smgs 6 medium and 6 short... dakka to the max)

Versatility:
technomancer with the biowire equivalent power... -> you can thread any skill you need and use it
initiate as often as you can with those 200karma and add all the initiative boosters
(you got every skill you want but need an action to thread it first, buy passive skills like perception with real BP though)

The best of all Worlds:
mystic adept they are a sinkhole for karma but you have enough and if you plan wisely you can get in a point of ware get a decent mage and use adept powers and adept channeling
(maybe a unnarmed troll mystic adept with distance strike which still makes a more then capable caster)
if you go this route buy all your adept powers only with the optional rule of 1pp for initiating and buy all metamagics with the optional rule of buying meta magic directly for karma
Speech - Thought - Matrix
Characters: Andy - Andys rolls
