Bio:
Aran is a college student for Magic Theory, some years ago he started to work for a company as a consultant, his expertise into different magical traditions was interesting to estimate the different approaches magical invaders could use, he is proud to work with those.
When one of the company members offered him a job into this task team he thrilled, having  a chance to use some of those spells he only knew in theory, he joined them right away, he is into the Random Encounters Inc. for only almost an year and had few missions.

He is quite naive also, he really can't see which kinda danger he is stepping into, thinking to be some sorta company super spy.

Ympulse: looks ok, but how are you getting that much armor?  ??? could you break that down. Also Erased is a no-go your employed so how can they pay you if you don't have a name on file? And gear from the main rule book?(some is not)
Everything is from the core book, I double-checked. What pieces in specific are you looking at?

Erased is "removing undesirable data" more than it is a slate-wipe. But if you want it gone, I can re-tweak.

And as for armor/soak, here's the breakdown:
Ceramic Bone Lacing - 2
Body - 9
Toll Armor - 1
Orthoskin - 3
Camo Suit - 8
Ballistic Mask - 2
Toughness - 1

Total: 26 for Ballistic Soak, 25 for Impact soak

missed that part but also it's not from the main book. And a bit powerful in the long run.

As for how you get your background, figure you've been approached and hired to work for this small corporation. You've been employed for 2 years working small jobs. 
Nothing is set in stone yet. So anyone wishing to join make a character.

From SR4A under the Qualities list:
Quote
Erased
Cost: 5BP or10BP
Better than SINless—the character with this quality officially
doesn’t exist and never did; someone or something actively works to
remove her traces from the system. Maybe it’s an elite hacker who owes
her a favor or an AI she befriended, but the end result is that her data
trail and records vanish from all but the most secure systems shortly
after being entered. For 5 BP, criminal SINs and unwanted data disappear
within a week. For 10 BP, any SIN, undesirable credit history, or
personal information on the Matrix that she wishes is burnt after 24
hours. Obviously, the eraser will preserve any data the character wishes
preserved and that is vital for her to function in society. Note that vanishing
data may prove an unwanted complication if the character is
in custody or doing prison time (the Man may “forget” she is there).

Just making sure you're aware that it's in the base book. If you still want it gone for other reasons, no worries. Just let me know.

background
Sylvia was born in Washington DC, UCAS, as daughter of a wage mage and an adept officer in the UCAS army.  As both her parents were awakened, she and later her two younger brothers were tested as well.  As it turned out only she was awakened, which meant even more tests to see how exactly.  This was not exactly the kind of thing an inquisitive 6 year old wanted to do and it became an almost continuous battle between Sylvia and the mages of both her mother’s company and the army.  She was placed in a special school program for awakened in order to improve on their talents and she did very well there.

When she hit puberty, she started to think she was ugly and it was at this point she discovered she could change some of her facial features, hair and skin colour and even her voice.  With some of her girlfriends she started using these powers to play tricks on boys.  Halfway through an evening, she would switch with her friend and try to keep the conversation going, even though she didn’t know what was said before.  It was mostly harmless fun, but she got caught a couple of times and due to this a new player entered: the Central Intelligence Agency.  People who could change their appearance were not all that common but very useful, so they wanted to recruit her.

At first she resisted as she wanted to go to the army like her father, but it became quickly clear that she wasn’t a soldier.  After an accident where she drove a tank against a bunker, wrecking the tank, they made it clear to her that she wouldn’t graduate and maybe to accept the intelligence offer.  This she did and she has never regretted it.  With the intelligence service she blossomed and started to develop her powers in a more structured way.  She also learned unarmed combat to be able to defend herself in a spot where she couldn’t take weapons.  It quickly became clear she was better unarmed than with guns.  She still had some issues with technology from time to time.  But the Agency also let her implant some bioware to make her stronger and faster.

In 2063, the now 19-year old Sylvia went on her first mission, getting into the offices of a smaller Japanese corporation to get a couple of chips.  After a stake-out of the corporation, she was able to impersonate one of the employees and get in that way.  One year later, in 2064, she was in the Carribian league for her first operation on foreign soil, when the crash hit.  She lost her SIN data, like so many.  Having no other options at that moment, she struck out on her own (taking with her all the equipment they had given her for this mission), using her skills to operate in the shadows all over North America and from time to time abroad.

This was a tough time and at one point she was tempted to try a BTL (with trodes of course, as she never had a DNI implant).  She didn’t know how it was programmed or if there was something with her brain that reacted with the chip, but luckily she had her docwagen contract (under one of her fake names) as she spent the following two weeks in hospital.  When she got out, her first order of business was to track the gang that had sold her the thing and make them pay.  Also also made a pact with herself to never try drugs or BTLs anymore.  She did continue to enjoy a drink now and again (and often more than one) although she didn’t drink (much) before a run. 

Although she did manage to get a new SIN under the amnesty rules that were brought into being after the crash, she continued running the shadows and in 2066 she did her first AA-corp job.  To get in using her impersonation trick, she needed good documents which could withstand any scrutiny.  One of the team members knew someone who could do document forgeries and indeed, the run went without a problem.  Since that time Sylvia always went to her for any document forgery she needed and while she always paid, they got to know each other a bit better.   And if she managed to get her hands on some types of documents (like ID badges and such) she provided her with the real ones or a copy so she could make her forgeries better.

In 2069, Cari Banks brought her into contact with a mafia lieutenant who had lost some of the mob’s property to a Yakuza raid.  Not wanting to alert his superiors, he hired her to get the property back, a small but valuable case.  She managed to get the case and the only guard she had to take out she did with a blow on the head and a shot of Lael.  The lieutenant was glad he got the valuables back discreetly and hired her a couple of times, while she managed to get some hard to get items like replacements for the gear she had taken from the CIA.

Recently she had gotten some surgery to place a pouch under her skin to transport small items.  This should have been a routine operation but something went wrong anyway and her immune system went haywire.  While medication managed to keep most of it under control, she still has a light allergy to soy.  Nothing more than a rash, but it could be annoying at times.

I'll post my face as well, since he's currently unemployed.

Name: Shin Nakata
Alias: Wolf
Race: Elf
Sex: Male
Nationality: Japanese
Lifestyle: High
Nuyen: ¥7,500 4d6+4=15
Karma Spent: 0
Armour: 11B/7I
Physical Description: Tall, sophisticated, classy but unmistakably not a Johnson, carries himself with the confidence only money can raise. Dark, medium-length hair.
Personality/background Shin Nakata was born in Osaka from a Japanese father and an elf mother. Fortunately for the family, Shin could pass for a Japanese human, which helped him get through his childhood and mid twenties without any problems. However, talking about his elvish heritage was strictly forbidden at home. As a result, Shin despises his elvish roots and does not talk about them.

Shin's father, Muneo, was the head of a company dealing in logistics. Shiawase, as part of their massive shakeup, acquired Akakaze corp. Shin, having been groomed to head Akakaze after his father, was assimilated and immersed in Shiawase culture. After a while, factions started to see the Akakaze branch as a threat to their power and decided to dig for as much dirt as they could find. Shin's mother and his heritage was used against him to push him out of the company. As a result, his father was forced to perform harakiri (ritual suicide) in order to spare Shin's life. He was exiled to HK, where he learned to fend for himself out of the meeting rooms.

The factions responsible for Shin's exile grew stronger within Shiawase and wanted to finish what they intended to do in the first place: silence Shin in order to rid the company of the shame of having employed a "tainted" employee. Shin found the strength to once again leave everything behind and go to uncharted territories.

Shin has been living in Seattle for a few years now and is starting to get accustomed to his new environment.  Some habits are hard to kick though, and Shin enjoys living the “in-crowd” life: going out, spending, staying in nice hotels, etc. He has a habit of leaving a business card on his runs as a “signature”. On the cards is his former Shiawase employee code, something only a limited number of people know, and even less care about.

I modified my character to make him a wheelman as well as a shaman.

Being in a corp, I imagine vehicles will be company provided. If not, I'll move some stuff around to buy some sort of vehicle.
