Well, now that I found this place and have read a few hundred posts (I didn't sleep last night...), I'm thinking it's about time to make a character.
My first though was a security contractor turned runner. Someone trained in corp security that wanted out of the complex and took the matrix crash as a good chance to disappear. A new story, a new SIN, and a new private security buisness.
So, we're talking about an Adept SINner with a consulting day job. Handy with a pistol, but deadly in close quarters with a police-issue extendable baton. He works for small companies and mom & pop shops that need security systems installed and freelances the occasional protection job. Most of the knowledge skills would be focused on Corp Security and procedures, as well as a few college classes he had under his belt that help him keep the buisness afloat (Finances, mainly).
I haven't read the story books in a long while (like, since they came out), so I'm a bit rusty. Can anyone point out any glaring flaws in the story before I start rolling the dice? (Rolling dice for a character? who *does* that?)
Thank, gents.
