You'll also want to buy the PDF for Unwired, and possibly Arsenal.  Unwired has an awful lot of useful info and mechanics for hackers, and is chock full of fun ideas.

None of the supplments (aside from Street Magic) are tightly focused on one type of character concept. I definitely like Augment and Arsenal. (custom guns are fun!)

Ok.. Thank you Muse for the help with the Street Sam. And for all to view, here's Billy.

I will just need someone to explain some of the cyberware to to me. The sim stuff basically.

Name: William "Billy" Bennett
Age: 24
Physical Description:  Billy is the kind of guy that seems to just draw the girls with his crooked, rogueish smile, bright blue eyes and thick, slightly curly dark hair. A well muscled form that stops short of looking like he actually works at it. A fair skinned complexion tells of his European blood while his accent is pure Seattle. Although he appears to be a good natured and easy going guy, there is always an air of contained energy just under the surface; a spring begging to be released with a dangerous, violent eruption.

Bioware Augmentations (.8 Essence Cost/2): 
--Muscle Augmentation II
--Muscle Toner II

Cyberware Augmentations:
  Move-by-Wire System II (3): Move-by-wire-systems are the cutting-edge in motion control and reaction augmentation.  They operate by putting the user's body in a constant state of seizure, so that it wishes to move in all directions simultaneously.  An implanted expert system monitors the seizure and counteracts its effects until the user wishes to act.  At that point, it channels the effects of the seizure along the desired path of motion, enabling the user to act with amazing speed and move with unnatural smoothness.  The move-by-wire-system is based on similar systems used in aircraft, drone, and vehicle control and has proven to be highly effective-if sometimes debilitating to biological subjects.  Move-by-wire users frequently suffer from slight, but uncontrollable, muscle tremors in certain muscle groups when they are at rest, mostly due to errors in the system's seizure compensation. 
The move-by-wire II system confers a bonus of +4 to the character's Reaction attribute, +2 to the character's Dodge skill rating, and +2 Initiative Passes.  It also functions as skillwires IV. 
Move-by-wire cannot be combined with any other form of Initiative enhancement except for reaction enhancers. 

Skillwire Expert System (.1): This modification package boosts the performance of a skillwire system, improving the integration of skillsoft simsense data with the user's own neurotransmitters and neuromuscular junctions.  This implant allows a character with a skillwire system (p. 335, SR4) to use Edge to re-roll a failed test when using skillsofts; Edge may not be used in any other way to boost tests with skillsofts (see?p.?320,?SR4).

Commlink (.4): An implanted version of the commlink (p. 327), popular with hackers and salarymen on the go. A Sim Module (modified for hot sim or not) may be implanted at additional cost. 
   Sim Module: An implanted version of the external sim module (p. 328), popular with sim lovers and BTL users.
Com Link:  Transys Avalon with Novatech Navi
4   Response
4   Signal
3   Firewall
4   System
Common Use Program Suite: Pro User (Analyze, Browse, Edit: 4, Command: 2)

Cybereyes III (.4): This system offers 20/20 vision for both eyes and includes an image link and an eye recording unit (for no extra cost), as well as capacity for various enhancement systems.
Eye Recording Unit: The eye recording unit connects to the user's optical nerves and records all data directly into attached storage (accessible by the user's PAN). To prevent data theft, the user can opt to make this storage only accessible by special means (sim module, datajack, etc.).
Flare Compensation: An implanted version of the flare compensation enhancement (p. 333).
Image Link: An implanted version of the image link enhancement (p. 333).
Low-Light Vision: This accessory allows the user to see normally in light levels as low as starlight. Total darkness still renders the user as blind as an unmodified person.
Protective Covers: These can protect both cyber and normal eyes, and confer both Ballistic and Impact armor bonuses of +2 to the eye area. Available in transparent or one-way reflective versions.
Smartlink: An implanted version of the smartlink enhancement (p. 333).
Thermographic Vision: An implanted version of the thermographic vision enhancement (p. 333).
Vision Enhancement: An implanted version of vision enhancement (p. 333).  +2 Dice. 
Vision Magnification: An implanted version of the vision magnification enhancement (p. 333)

Armor:   
Camouflage Suit: A full body suit with computer-designed environmental-pattern facsimiles. All have reversible day/night patterns. When worn in an appropriate environment, the suit inflicts a -2 Perception Test dice pool modifier to spot the wearer (if worn in an inappropriate environment, it incurs a +2 bonus instead). Also armored for additional protection.  Ballistic 8, Impact 6

Lined Coat: Reminiscent of the long dusters worn in the days of the Wild West, lined coats offer good protection and also provide an additional -2 Concealability modifier to items hidden underneath.  Ballistic 6, Impact 4

Weapons: 
Katana
--Dice Pool 10
--Reach 1
--Damage (Str/2)+3P = 6P   
--AP -1
--Modification: Custom Grip: +1 to skill roles. 

Ceramic Knife X2: This extremely lightweight knife is entirely made of ceramic materials for use in sports like scuba or mountaineering. Because ceramic knives are undetectable by MAD scanners, they are popular with shadowrunners, corporate enforcers, federal agents, and others who prefer hidden weaponry.
--Dice Pool 10
--Reach -   
--Damage (Str/2)+1 P   =4P

Yes, I really am blind.
Being Literate is the ability to read and understand a language. When you ask for literate, what you are looking for is Verbosity, which is the ability to use lots of words without actually saying very much... like politicians. I consider myself both literate and verbose.

Being Literate is the ability to read and understand a language. When you ask for literate, what you are looking for is Verbosity, which is the ability to use lots of words without actually saying very much... like politicians. I consider myself both literate and verbose.

Ummmm something had to give?  ???

And she has Edge its 2, since she's human.

I could drop her physical stats to add to it I suppose she is disabled after all it would fit. Reason she has all the tech in her is to get her to somewhat a normal life.

Vance woke up one day in a decent flat one day and that's when his life started. He doesn't remember his real name or where he came from, he doesn't even remember his birthday. He remembers waking up with a massive headache and walking into the bathroom for some aspirin. Then realized he didn't remember anything. His name, his birthday, nothing. In the closet where most people would have a suit or work coveralls he had a Full Body Suit and a bombers jacket. Most of the drawers were filled with weapons and ammunition. On the desk were a couple of fake SINs and a note. The note simply read "We will be watching Mr. Wyse, We are very interested." He walked out into the garage and found a motorcycle. After the shock of not remembering anything died down he started to think about what he would do. The landlord wouldn't care if his memories were gone afterall. He made it to a local club and managed to worm his way into a local urban brawl team. From there he was able to pay the rent for a couple months and figure out where to go. The urban brawl team managed some wins and through them he made the acquaintance of a corps military supply Sergeant, who has been suplying him with some odds and ends, and then the organization ShadowSEA. About a month ago he was approached about a job running to get some suplies for a low level terrorist organization. He nearly botched the job when he was hit by a flashback speeding to the drop. He was climbing up the side of a building, hanging by a thread over the security compound below. Suddenly a searchlight lit up the stonework next to him and he knew he was in trouble. The guards opened fire and chips of masonry flew from the building. Their aim wasn't all bad as he felt a sharp hot pain in his left calf. He pulled himself up another meter and slammed his way in through the glass pannel of the window. Suddenly he blinked as he heard a horn blaring at him. Swerving just in time to avoid becoming a smear on the pavement.

I have settled on my last contact for Billy.

Contact (2/2): Street Cop(Name up to GM)

Oh, I forgot height in Billy... he's 5'11 (And probably the meat shield that everyone is screaming for. lol

On a note, does the armour for his longcoat (Usually worn when not working) and the armour of his camo's stack (If he's wearing the camo's under the coat)?

Still trying to decide on her commrig set-up she has enough Y left.

Muse

  I was about to check on the cinnematic gaming rules myself. 

  You see, in the standard rules, if you wear both armors the encumbrance value of the second armor stacks. 

  Since the stat that determines encumbrance is twice your body, Ignis is 6 over with his primary armor.

Here's the relevent text from page 150 (Ignis, your going to either be squishy or very slow.): 

Armor and Encumbrance: 
  If a character is wearing more than one piece of armor at a time, only the highest value (for either Ballistic or Impact) applies. Note that some armor items, like helmets and shields, provide a modifier to the worn armor rating and so do not count as stacked armor.
  Too much armor, however, can slow a character down. If either of a character’s armor ratings exceeds his Body x 2, apply a –1 modifier to Agility and Reaction for every 2 points (or fraction thereof) that his Body x 2 is exceeded. Note that this may affect Initiative as well. If a character is wearing multiple armor items, add their ratings together before comparing to Body.

I mis-read the combining armor to make outfits thing. :P
Ill go with squishier over slower but I can always tweak a stat... if I can decide what I dont need enough to justify it...

There are some methods that skirt that rule though. Like Form-fitting Body Armor and portions of the PPP armor set.

Well, that answers my question. I would loose either 3 ajility or 3 reaction for the extra protection and Billy relies on speed a lot... so it's one or the other. Still, either one would be useful in it's particular environment.

On another note, can somene quote me the cost of skill soft chips? (I think they are still called that). Since he has the possibility of using them, I might as well see what I can get for him and how much it'll cost... and if he has the nuyen for it.

Although I asked Muse this as well, can someone quote me the price for a small holdout pistol with a smartlink?

Thanks

Blinkin, who is jazzed about all of this.

A small holdout with smartlink, you could get an Elan for 450 and add a smartlink for the guns cost. The Elan is made of polymers so it cant be detected normally. On the cheap you can get a Streetline Special for 100 (plus 100 for the smartlink). The special has a -2 to be detected and its used by societies bottom rung (so us :P)

I even know a guy that can hook you up.

I ended up going with form fitting body armor with a bomber jacket over it. I still have 2850¥ of starting money to... I could get some upgrades for my XM30. :D

I am reminded of a comic strip I read, specifically this episode.

Can you give me the specs on those holdouts? That will decide which one I go with. I have about 5K available yet, so I'm trying to figure out items that I can pick up that I (or Muse) didn't think about. I'm leaning toward the "saturday night special" elcheapo, but it'll be nice to know what they are.

Bodysuits are nice, but if Billy gets a hard-on, I don't want him to feel too uncomfortable. lol

I think his phylosophy is going to run toward, "If it twitches, shoot it again..." and "There is no such animal as too many weapons."

I'm thinking that he'll carry 1 clip of gel rounds for the Ares and probably 2 of explosive with 1 regular incase he actually only wants to "hurt" someone. lol

As for the ingram... well it may depend on the mission. I played a pulp character who lugged a Tommygun around with him everywhere in a carpetbag... and a box of the best cigars he could find. lol

I highly recomedn the Elan, Blinkin, for the same reason I recommended the ceramic knives. 

Not every shadowruner needs to be 100% subtle all the time, but every shadowruner needs the option of being subtle! 

For 1,000 NY your Elan you can build in the smartgun system and the custom grip for a total of +3 dice pool.  (Why I gave you the Armorer skill.) 

Let's see if I can find you the stats.

Ignis

I got him the stats.

If you are getting something that cant be detected you should probably spend the extra cash on the Hi-C plastic rounds so the bullets dont set off the metal detector.


I could just see us walking through a MAD by the way. I have to empty just about every pocket, pouch, holster, ect just to get the alarm to stop going off. Then I forget the change I had in my front right pocket. :P

Blinkin

The Elan it is then, with the custom grips, smartlink and Hi-C plastic rounds.

All Billy has to do is look at a metal detector and it's going to scream in agony.. As much cyberware as he's carrying, the belt buckle, the loose change, the car keys.. forget getting in without making some noise... unless the cyberware is good enough to not set it off... Muse?

I love airports because I will always forget something and have to get wanded. The last time, it was a rabis tag for my dog that I forgot to put on him that mornng. "Yes ma'am... I've had my shots..."

Now, I just need to see if I can pick up a soft skill chip for heavy weapons, gunnery, some martial art and piloting (Aircraft) and I'll be about done, I think... Oh, and Demolitions. lol (Level 4, thank you very much)

I could just imagine the look on some poor guards face as I pull out a military grade weapon, two SMGs, more ammo than any one person should ever need, the Garrote, and a ceramic knife just to cut down on suspicions a bit. I didnt even think of the cybereyes, but they probably would set it off also. :P

Should be interesting to say the least.
