General Bio:
He was born into service of the SK corporation, was found to be magically and physically adept, and was put to use as a shadowrunner.  Something went wrong, he got his memory wiped, and was kicked into the Americas, while his file and everything was erased from the SK database.  Ever since, he's been reassembling his life and relearning everything he lost.

Specialty:
Assassinations and Neural Data Gathering

What I'm looking to you guys for:
I'm completely lost as what to buy what with the Karma->Nuyen Conversion, and where else to put my karma.  I'd also like to make this character at least functional if not optimal, so pointing me in the right direction is something I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Under the HotPatch Errata, and extremely likely the full Errata as well, Power Points cost 5 karma, not 2. That they ever printed as 2 was never intended.

[Nullmancer]

Gotcha.  Thanks for that tidbit.  I have the original book, so that's why I used that much karma for them.

Edited.

Any other tips?

Scorched is a negative quality only intended for deckers or TMs, so even if your GM allows it it is extremely cheesy to take as a magician.

I think you're better off taking Magic B and Race C, you only lose 1 special point but you gain several spells and free skill points.  Kind of a toss-up and I can see why you went the way you did.

[Nullmancer]

The reason why I took scorched is because there is no amnesia and I was able to rework the event in my bio so that an electric overload the the mind caused memory loss.

I think I see your point on the magic and metatype switch.  Edited.  Add Skill Points.  Thank you kindly

Any other suggestions?
