No chrome, no bio, no magic. Just a burned-out street doc with a penchant for anything that can possibly involve a needle:

Currently playing him in a Chicago campaign.

I wouldn't call him the worst character.  He may have a narrowly focused support role (medic), but at least he has one thing he does well.  My only concern would be that it could get boring, being nothing but the guy who patches up the other runners.  He is well-rounded, but his other skills are pretty basic ones (run, dodge, talk, shoot, etc.), and are only enough dice to get by at a lot of things, mostly.  His penchant for needles and illicit substances, with the chemistry and artisan (tattooing) skills, are the main things that, to me, make him less bland.  If you are playing him, and the character seems to work in the game, and you are having fun, then it is actually a good character.

I wouldn't say worst, you saved the dying yakuza boss and shocked the snooty French maitre'd to a bladder emptying unconsciousness. That being said, now that were in Chicago (and I've had a chance to take a read through b&b) things should get even more exciting!
