one of my local groups (I have a group of relative n00bs, and a group of more experienced players) has gotten together, and found an unsuspecting GM from outside the circle who's willing to run sr4.

I GET TO PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've decided to handle the decking/rigging sector of the game.  I've always enjoyed it, and I've also decided to do it without the technomancer stuff.  I'll be posting a character up here pretty soon (within the next day or so), looking for opinions.  I haven't met this GM yet, and I have no idea what length of back-story he wants/prefers, but i'm in a mood to "write a book."  So that'll probably be going up soon as well.

I mainly want to be sure I haven't missed anything mechanically that I just totally need.  I'm looking for entry-level proficiency here, in both decking and rigging skillsets.

I will appreciate any comments and opinions.

I feel your pain omae!  I almost never get to play SR either

[Ingo Monk]

Actually now I want to play, or even GM.  I haven't been involved in a SR game in like 3 years... !!!

ouch, that's a long spell. Character's coming, I just haven't gotten the chance to sit down with my books yet.

okay, so I procrastinated way too long on the hacker, and built something I didn't like at the last minute.  Therefore, I decided to go for something a little strange.  Here it is, tell me what you guys think.

Greg Thoreau--Lucky Lefty
   Always a lucky one, Greg was once a Shiawase employee, deviable assets division.  The crash left his public identity intact, but Shiawase "lost" him.  They're also not too keen about him running around with keys to a closet full of skeletons.  Not that he'd tell, they treated him about as well as could be expected, given his department.  They haven't pissed him off that much...yet.  Now he's stuck in a crappy little apartment on level 30, taking milk runs to support it and the repair bills on his "Lucky" arm.  He's a left now, wasn't alsays the case.  He lost that arm on a particularly bad job, and got it replaced with street flash.  The new arm's just hands down better, so he used it in preference to his native born flesh.  He works through Sammie, a local fixer, who draws the occasional big job.  Lefty's still waiting for one.  He made a point of befriending Louie, the doc who put his arm in, and occasionally does "Repo" work for him.  Once of Twice, he's been "Lucky" enough to be in for repairs when a disgruntled customer came back, looking for blood.  Doc Louie isn't one for fighting himself, but Lucky took care of that. 
   Another reason for Lucky's success is his friend "The Wolf."  He's a shamanic cleaner who Lucky knows from his days in Shiawase.  They've had a long, mutually profitable relationship, and Wolf can clean up almost anything Lucky and his pal's get themselves into.

Things are progressing here, Hunny went and bought himself all the SR supplements (second hand, good boy, plus now his Christmas present is pretty much done, yea!)  if this results in a game only time will tell.
