[QUOTE="TillForPie, post: 6847061, member: 6762758"] Since people are jumping into the nitty gritty of character creation I'll provide the notes I'd mentioned in the OP. - Everyone gets one bonus contact (Mac - Fixer - Connection 6 - Loyalty 1) and one bonus Rating 1 Fake SIN to start things off. The contact is how you guys meet and the bonus SIN is just to help out. This SIN might be for an 8-year old Ethiopian troll who died six months ago but you'll at least be able to go through a drive-thru. - Everyone needs a commlink with a SIN (fake or not) loaded into it if they want to be able to interact with the modern world in any meaningful way. A convenient way to perceive AR would be helpful (through cybereyes, glasses, contact lenses, trodes, an implanted commlink, whatever - obviously Shayuri won't need to worry about this). - Unless your character is homeless and begging for change you're going to need to purchase a Lifestyle. And unless you're living in a slum (which is possible) you're going to need to have a SIN (fake or not) attached to that Lifestyle. If the SIN attached to that Lifestyle gets burned you lose whatever investment you made in it. This means it's a good idea to not broadcast your Lifestyle SIN when you're doing work for runs. NYS has eight boroughs and some of them have Lifestyle cost modifiers but that's not too important to worry about right now. There are plenty of places with no modifier so as long as you don't want to live in an exclusive part of the city you'll be able to pay the amounts listed in the book. -Skills (like Perception and Etiquette) will matter, so try to have your bases covered. Also important is the ability to travel through a busy city without immediately drawing heavy police attention. By all means take the obviously weaponized cyberparts but just make sure you have something to cover them with. [/QUOTE]
