Not a problem, take all the time you need. I'm not sure what level of assistance you'd appreciate. I don't mind doing a full step-by-step walkthrough of creating your character with you, I just didn't want to overstep if you preferred greater autonomy. Like Shayuri mentioned, Riggers are known for controlling swarms of drones. And drones can be anything from flying turrets to insect-sized spies. Positives include the ability to keep your meat body very safe: Your flesh sack can cool off in the van while your drones get work done on the run. There are downsides: Drones cost money. And if you're losing drones each run you might struggle to make a profit. So be good at what you do! Another downside to the cool-off-in-the-van approach is that if the cyber security working for your target discovers your meat location (which is really more a matter of /when/) you'll be vulnerable. It's possible to make a decker-rigger hybrid. You wouldn't be as good a hacker as someone who went pure decker but you'd be more than good enough to work as backup for Death Otter.
I can come up with a list of other possible concepts/builds and provide them to you over PM if you'd like. Otherwise just let it keep percolating and let me know if and when you'd like assistance putting the character together. I know Shayuri and I don't mind at all helping and I'm sure Mosier would be fine with helping as well. What's most important to me is that we find something you can be enthusiastic about playing. The time it takes is a non-issue.

I'd love to have non-players following along and you can feel free to commentate on the game in this thread but I don't think I'll include an NPC designed by a third party. I do appreciate the interest!
As for helpful videos, I've heard great things about the Shadowrun Beginner's Guide series by Boardgame Banter on Youtube.
