This is a pistol adept/ face build that uses biocompatibility and prototype transhuman to cram in the 'ware at almost no cost to magic and essence to get two jobs done, face and gunslinger adept.
You could easily swap out pistols for automatics if you like but given where he will likely be going with his Facial Sculpt, Melanin Control and Keratin Control it's likely a pistol will be a better weapon.
He has essence room for more 'ware post chargen, most likely all bioware due to his bio-compatibility.
I had originally built this guy with Way of the Burnout but stacking Bio-compatibilty with Prototype Transhuman is a much better option if you only take one or two points of essence for 'ware.
His edge sucks but it's only 10 karma post chargen to raise it.
He has JoaT so post chargen you can easily buy new skills or raise your relatively low social skills easily.
This build primarily works because it optimizes the essence efficiency of 'ware vs. adept magical enhancements where relevant and uses the adept powers for face skills that can't be found elsewhere (no 'ware for that, except tailored pheromones which he has).
This leaves him with about $20k to spend on equipment and Sin.
