Looking over the characters:

@Raiderjoseph
Titanium bones only give you resistance dice against direct damage, they don't add to body (otherwise they'd help you fight infections and poisons)
All in all you don't really need Prototype Transhuman (Unless you plan to get more ware in the future)

@Stuttrboy
Your character will be dead within six months.
Paying back your debt  of 75k Nuyen is nearly impossible. You have to pay back at least 10% interest per month, so 7500 without reducing your debt.
If you don't manage that you take 1 P damage for every 20.000 you owe, so 3 damage that you can't heal until you pay.
(Believe me: Kynos had the devil of a time to just get rid of his 20.000 debt and for that he had to follow a super yakuza around half the globe, breaking his neck so hard his head exploded)

Also, In debt replaces the ability to exchange karma for nuyen, so the 8000 aren't possible either

The Ultimax Rainforest has been nerved:

since otherwise this weapon would be insane.

Your Ini seems off: With your ki-focus you should get +2 Reaction +2W6 Ini

Mystic armor 1 will be unusuable with the pervasive 1 point background count.

@jack_spade Thanks for the input about the money I'm making some changes that will hopefully reduce some of the cost but if gilga wants to kill my character I guess he is allowed since he's the game master.  Hopefully there will be opportunities to make some money in the game so I can keep paying on my debts. 

The qi focus brings my level 2 enhanced reflexes to level 3 thus the +3 +3d6.

When I asked gilga about magic background count and dicepools he said it only effected skill checks associated with the magic, Armor and damage resistance shouldn't be affected should it?  If I could get "word of god" on this I would appreciate it so I can make any necessary changes. Also it's mystic armor 2, the 1 is the magic points spent.

[Mercy Merchant]

You did not say Axe Medic with a shotgun.  Being out and among the criminal society has taught her that she needs to be prepared.  She takes her rolling street clinic from place to place.  Hmmmm, speaking of that I might need to to shift money about to put a shop (medical) in the van to give me the proper equipment to do that.  Otherwise it is just a van with a doctor and a medkit.  OK, I can adapt the character a bit. 

Also, I hope that it is not a problem to have two medics on the team?

[Jack_Spade]

Ah I see, that wasn't clear to me from your write up.

In the case of In Debt its not the GM wanting to kill you, it's the quality
"Never take on more debt than you can take care of comfortably" is a lesson everyone needs to learn (IP as OP) 

But again: This advice is based on past experiences - this time around it might play out quite differently (But seeing that no one in your ranks has thought to invest into negotiation skills I predict that the payout of our missions won't increase too much)

@Mercy
A Valkyrie Module is a steal for 2000: R6 Medkit+Autodoc

[Ennui]

When I saw Imladir's awesome Face and My decentish negotiations I figured we were set on that.  I've been able to knock down about 10k off my total expenditures so far  so I should be able to knock down the amount a little if you have other ideas I'm open to suggestion.

[Imladir]

Maybe 15d is not enough to qualify as an investment in negotiation in Jack's book ^^

[Jack_Spade]

Ah sorry, totally overlooked your character - ignore my last statement accordingly 

[Imladir]

Maybe because I put it in spoiler to keep things tidy, don't worry.

[Mercy Merchant]

@Jack  Yeah, love that Valkyrie module.  The van has one installed.

And I agree about the In Debt quality.  I know that Gilga likes it, but it takes a game with a lot of income to make that work and so far this one isn't that sort of campaign.  He says he will work with you, but that sort of violates the spirit of the negative quality.  I mean, if everyone could borrow 50000 and not have to worry about it, we all would do it.  The quality is supposed to be a negative for a reason and finding that sort of cash every month just to pay the interest is not guaranteed.  All of the other monthly cots need to be considered as well, such as lifestyle costs and repair/replacement of equipment and munitions expended.  Lots of costs inherent to this game and I just think the In Debt is a hard one to add on.  Personal opinion.

[Kuirem]

I admit I'm a bit worried about having two medics, especially since they are both oriented fighting and medic is really a secondary job anyway (with all the medkit and autodoc out there). This team is really lacking in Hacking and Magic I hope it won't be a problem. I am thinking about switching if Mercy Merchant wants to keep his/her Medic.

[Imladir]

There's no true hacker (even if Ennui's character is not bad there), but there is a Mage, it's Mulcarn (and he's even the reason I didn't go full mage ^^)

[gilga]

About the debit. I like to couple it with trust fund as it gives you some money and a roof over your head. also take into consideration that BGC effect KI foci and reduce their force. So you might want to think about it.
Also recall that you owe 50 percent more than you borrow interest rate are 10 percent monthly. The rewards are similar to before perhaps higher now that you can negotiate.

[Mulcarn]

You can play a full mage if you want.  You don't have to be Mundane if you think that being magical would be more fun.  Just keep in mind that magical PCs wilk have a hard time in this campaign.  You will literally be blamed for the current state of affairs.  Also keep in mind that your Magic rating probably wont increase beyond 6.  My character has 7 due to the exceptional attribute quality and its not going any higher than that.  Mainly to keep the "Magic is rare" aspect of the campaign in order.  And if it goes any higher his shadowrunning career will probably end.

[Kuirem]

I haven't run a Decker yet but it could be a first experience, missed that we already had a Mage. I'm also building some half hacker character that could fit, especially if  Ennui has some skill. I'm working on a Rigger/Hacker that should fit well.
