For a figthing type I would go for Body 5. That will help you stay alive (and I would probably make an ork as they get good attribute bonuses for cheap). Reaction is half you initiative and worth softcapping at 5. Logic 4 is probably too much

Ambidextrous isn’t that great.
You should get 35 BP worth of negative qualities.

You have way to many skills and skill groups and redundant skills.
You have 7 ways to attack with. Chose 1 or 2 and be good at those. I would suggest blades and Automatics. Get one at 6 the other at 4.
If you are not going to use at least 3 skills from a skill group just get the skills separately. Athletics and Stealth groups are both good. Firearms are not (in my opinion).
You are not good with building grenades and blowing stuff up. Drop those skills and just get a contact that can supply you with explosives.
Drop Unarmed and just use blades.
Drop Dodge. For range dodge use gymnastics and for melee dodge parry with blades.

Why 2 form fitting body armors?

Cybereyes and cyberears are generally not worth it. They cost essence and lots of nuyen. You can get almost exactly the same bonuses from using a set of glasses, contact lenses and ear buds.
I would drop the light pistols from your arms as they are not that great weapons. Instead get cyberarm gyromount in one arm and maximise agility to 9 in both. You could also install a nanohive in one of the arms (the other than the gyromount). I would go for Evo Kali in both arms.
When fighting learn martial arts and then use one spur to attack and the other to defend.
Get Wired Reflexes 2 and reflex recorders so you get 2 IP and maximise your Reaction at 9. I wouldn’t go for Muscle Augmentation 2 – they end up giving you +1 DV on blades and as you probably most of the time will end up shooting people in their face as opposed to slice and dice you are better of with spending your points elsewhere.

Cut down on the number of weapons and get some good ones instead. And by good I mean use Arsenal to modify your weapons so they give increased RC and fill out the rest of the slots with chameleon coating, extended clip and other cool features (High Velocity automatic weapons and 2 long burst in one IP is good and then you need RC 6).

You will probably also want a license for your cyberware/bioware.
I would recommend getting a cheap commlink for everyday use and for broadcasting your fake SIN and the just use the other one for shadowrunning bizz.

I recommend looking on some of Umaro’s archtypes as they are great. For example the Ronin of maybe the Ghost.

Haven’t played Assassins Creed, but I don’t think you can just take a character from a video game and transform him into an effective shadowrunner without making sacrifices – you just can’t be good as everything.

I will now crawl back into somewhere dark as the light is painful for my eyes and head today - and I haven't even been drinking

[emsquared]

ras has given you some good, general optimal build advice, I will second what I think are the most important things...
- drop LOG by 2, give those points to REA and BOD (you're primary role is combatant), and really, you're not a face, never going to be a face, so I'd probably drop CHA by 1 and give that to BOD or REA as well (you can always raise LOG and CHA later if you want, right now, BP efficiency favors boosting one of your combat stats to 5 - BOD or REA ), I assume as it wasn't listed that you have the minimum EDG for a human (2)?
- take advantage of every single extra BP that neg qualities can give you, Etzio has a Lost Loved One, could be Vindictive and various other story hooks that could be translated into Neg Qualities
- since you have blades (cyber-implants), you can get rid of dodge and unarmed and lose very little adaptability (you can't be disarmed, and you can use gymnastics for active defense)
- absolutely drop the cyber-eyes and ears, not worth it - get contacts, glasses and earbuds
- martial arts are a blades guy's best friend

If you really want to have as many "offense" skills as you do, rely on Skillsofts for the majority of them (throwing, demolitions, gunnery, unarmed), going with blades and automatics as your core is good in general, pistols though may be better for situations requiring concealability (as these may be most situations for an "Etzio").

And while you're not a face, Etzio should have some social skills (Con, Negotiate), if nothing else to fair better in those types of social exchanges. Furthermore, Etzio's contacts were central to his ability to operate, you really should have at least a couple.

Thanks for the suggestions.... Will have another crack at hitting the books and making a few changes later tonight... But now off to the salt mine (work to the rest of u lovely ppl)

[Hellion]

Ok here's something i am wondering can i use a reflex recorder for a single skill even if i have purchased the skill as part of a skill group ? (climbing bought as part of the athletics skill group, can i buy the reflex recorder for just climbing or do i have to have it for the whole skill group)

You can do that. I'd personally just get the group one though. Not that much more on price and Essence to affect all the skills. Heck, you can use the group one even if you have only one skill in that group, and you'll get the rest of the effect if you ever do get those skills.

[Novocrane]

Did you remember to calculate your cyber & bio essence costs seperately, then halve the lower cost?

[Hellion]

Whoops  I tracked them seperately but forgot to half the bio
Bio should read 0.65

[user-unknown]

Heh, I was wondering if anyone had done an Ezio recreation a few days ago.  Was thinking of having a go myself

[Hellion]

Heres More to look at and advise on Thanks in advance

(I've probably spent more money than i have but i sort of wanted to add what i thought was cool, i'll chop out what i think is the least need after advice)

[Hellion]

oh and Ras not that i'm having a go at you but if you read either the novels or play the game you can see how its entirely possible to recreate the character, though your statement tends to make sense of most of the video game conversions i have seen..... Had one of the gents i run with dare me to recreate the master chief from halo (i would think thats just gonna be impossible)

[emsquared]

Again, Ezio needs his Leonardo and Vulpe and Bartolomeo and Claudia, not to mention the Brotherhood. To ignore contacts is to ignore an earnest attempt at recreating Ezio. Not saying you need all of those, but it's disingenuous not to have any.

[Hellion]

emsquared that's on the agenda tonight... I want to use the actual names so I'll have to find the books again..
