An Archive of Adepts - Walking the Ways
Aria:
To my mind adepts are one of the most versatile archetypes in SR, potentially covering a multitude of paths and different roles on a team. The stats presented here aren’t always ‘optimised’ but I’ve tried to go for breadth of archetypes to perhaps inspire other builds and they should all be capable of functioning successfully on a team. Any thoughts or comments are very welcome!
The adepts here don’t necessarily have the ‘Way’ that they have been listed under but I’ve grouped them under the category that seems to best fit their mindset. I started this project in SR4 so some of the adepts have evolved through the editions, and some like Silk have undergone radical transformations as my SR stories have unfolded.

All4BigGuns:
I'd like to suggest that all the augmented ones be moved into the 'Burnouts' list whether they have that Way mechanically chosen or not, as that is where they are headed.

That's a heck of an assumption to make.
Makki:
I always choose my 0.99 essence points wisely and plan ahead.
