Any thoughts or suggestions on character? I'm not sure what tradition I want. Also how do you like my excel character sheets?
Thanks

Gabriel, former keyboard player to the popular Gothability band Crimson Twilight, now composes music for trid and sims.  For years his band never got the break they needed till Gabriel was approached by a reporter interested in doing a piece on not the band, but him.  After reading the story, Gabriel learned that he was some kind of rare vampire.  The gigs started rolling in after that.  His band was booked solid for weeks.  Gabriel played it up to all it was worth at first, going along with the whole vampire role.  He was the poster on all teenage girls AR walls.  Then the propositions started coming in.  Getting girls was never a problem, but now they begged to be turned into vampires.  At first it was fun, than it started getting crazy.  He had to get extra bodyguards, and now his band mates were starting to resent their star members success.   Things were getting worse.  Gabriel couldn’t even stand being around women, always suspicious of their motives.  The more he started denying he was a vampire, the more the “Evidence” started showing up, pictures of him 20 years earlier that didn’t appear to have aged a day.  After a sold out show in New York, he was kidnapped by a group of Shadowrunners, taken to rich corporate executive’s daughter, to be chained to the wall until he cooperated, and made her a vampire.  Thank god for his manager, who had connections all over the world, got another team of Runners to extract him.  The kidnapping only made his band more popular, but the beefed up security didn’t stop the kidnapping attempts.  A year later, Gabriel left Crimson Twilight, and went into hiding composing music and doing small jobs for his former Manager, finding he had a knack for hacking.

Cool Character. You don't have Electronic Warfare and Cyber Combat though.

Unless I'm misreading, your influence group is at 1(4), and Perception is 2(5). Augmented skills are limited to 150% of their natural rating.

You also have Encrypt twice, and the issue of being stupefyingly findable / identifiable.

thanks, where did you find that rule about limit to augmented skills? Encrypt is suppose to be browse, I must have copied wrong when I was clipping and pasting character sheet.
