A buddy on another gaming forum recently threw together this random-SR-character generator, inspired by a silly random-D&D-character generator.  It'll give you a street name, a metatype, a basic archetype, and a character quirk.  He's still adding more options into the data pool, so it's changing all the time, but I told him I'd spread the word and get more folks to take a peek.  Enjoy!

Tear, he's an adaptable Human Decker from Tir Tairngire who at times forgets non-critical mission details.

Rat, he's a capable Dwarf ex-Cop from the UK who is a total pro, but would kill his own mother for a real-meat steak.

Razor, she's a morally bankrupt Human Smuggler from China who is hunted by the Triads.

Heh :D

Titan, he's an energetic Ork ex-Bodyguard from Pomoria who gets a slight nervous tic whenenver he enters a Stuffer Shack's food section. 
Guess his last job got taken down near the Nuke'em Dogs.


Nova, he's a haunted Troll Edgerunner from the Pueblo Council who distrusts Trolls.
Must be tough looking in the mirror.


Chrome, he's a modest Human ex-Cop from France who can speak Sperethiel, but dislikes doing so.
Can't decide which is more annoying to listen to, his French or his Sperethiel

I actually like this one.

This is actually really cool.



Grizzly, she's a tactless Human Reporter from Atzlan who is cybered far beyond any reasonable limits.

Tyrant, she's an easy going Ork Gunslinger Adept from the SOX who owns a cat she'll defend with her life.
I don't know why they aren't dead yet.

Grace, he's a hot-headed Dwarf Reporter from Pomoria who lost a secret bet against a dragon.

Rain, she's a joke cracking Dwarf Rocker from the UCAS who is always polite to the elderly.

Grizzly, he's an optimistic Troll Street Samurai from Amazonia who once crashed a Mafia wedding.



I actually really like most of them. The third one is kind of strange, but the other ones are great for quirks. Although, I would change street names so as not to repeat.

Plague, she's an optimistic Human Medic from the Pueblo Council who distrusts Dwarves.

That's just funny. A medic called plague. Must resist creating a toxic shaman medic .... >,<

Anyway, I like this. :)

Be even funnier if it turns out she is a carrier and didn't realize it, like she is taking an experimental broad spectrum antibiotic to help her on her job to be around patients and while it is keeping her alive, it's keeping the bugs as well.
