Well crap I was picking up some sneaking and demolitions.
Maybe you should keep Throwing and get the rocket launchers, Though two demo experts on the same team could do a lot of damage.

Trisk, are you still doing a technomancer/face? These recent posts lead me to think that you may have changed your character's focus from your original intent. Or have I been misreading things? The reason that I ask is that I was going to write into my character's backstory that the face is one of the characters that mine would be at least somewhat acquainted with.

CONTACTS
Fixer, Connection 4, Loyalty 1- Daddy Warbucks. Almost certainly an alias, as this extremely talented, extremely desperate fixer appears no older than 35 and has a full head of coal-black hair. Handsome and affable while simultaneously chilling, even a guy with chipped reflexes like Wilder is kind of scared of this dude. Wilder has always wondered why Daddy Warbucks loaded him up with cyberware, instead of calling in the street doc's "favor" for himself. Wilder secretly suspects the guy is Awakened, perhaps some type of social adept, but he has no way to prove it.
Drug Dealer, Connection 3, Loyalty 1- Alan Windwalker, an Amerinidian drug dealer. He's independent from any major gangs as far as Wilder is aware. Despite his "one-with-the-earth" hippie attitude, Wilder knows the guy isn't above breaking a few kneecaps to settle a debt. He's also an amateur decker, as to be suspected of anybody dealing primarily in BTLs. He runs a small Host that sells BTL downloads, but also enjoys dealing in good old-fashioned chips.

Background: What other runners are likely to know about Wilder is that he's a former go-ganger who managed to sever all ties with his old gang and join the underground combat bike circuit (basically illegal street races where whipping out a machine pistol on your opposition is a normal and expected part of the game). There he had a very public, very fiery, very high-speed crash and was presumed dead. A few months later, he resurfaced with a lot of shiny chrome and became a proper shadowrunner.

Those who have worked with him on a run before know him to be pretty much a classic street samurai with a fondness for the Ingram Smartgun X. He handles himself well but is rumored to be a chiphead.

His fixer goes by the handle Daddy Warbucks, and paid for most of Wilder's 'ware. If somebody else on the team wants to use Warbucks as a connection, that's the most likely way they'd know each other. Another runner could also have been a fan/spectator/competitor from his combat bike days.

Physical Description: Thin and wiry for an ork, Wilder cuts a lean figure on his matte silver Suzuki Mirage. On a run he dresses in a skin-tight racing suit (actually a chameleon suit) and wears a red and white flame-retardant armor jacket. He has a messy shock of black hair on his head and green eyes. He could be considered handsome for an ork; he could never pass for human but his tusks are understated and he has a square jaw and high cheekbones. He has heavy circles under his eyes, signs of stress and hard living. His most distinguishing features are his obvious chrome; his right arm is obviously synthetic and has the same matte silver paint job as his bike. His left forearm and left leg are gunmetal gray, the latter giving his gait a bit of a limp. Maybe it needs to be tuned up?

@Celibero -- I sent you a follow up email about your character.  She looks great, just make the minor tweeks on the character sheet and then post her up.

@Triskavanski - I really like Red Queen so far.  She has a good balance between flaws and strengths, and definitely fills a needed roll on the team.

@Money -- I am still reviewing your character!  thanks for being patient!

I just need to finish out her negative qualities, figure out which stat gets the buff, and then buy gear. Sadly 5e doesn't have social oriented devices, other than a  shopping program.

Background: the story of “Akagitsune” (or what she disclosed) is pretty much straightforward; she is a newcomer to Seattle, she has no close ties to the community nor is affiliated with any power in the metroplex area, although her accent does not differ much (or anything) from those in the vicinity. It was rumored that she is a corporate fugitive and she has neither acknowledged nor denied that information. She holds a strictly business posture and has a calculating demeanor and she uses her fists as her preferred weapon, “silence is golden” she has quoted occasionally, she is also an accomplished archer.

Physical description:
5’5” height and well-toned muscles, she moves with grace, not overly muscular but rather fit, she is known to pack a punch.  She is of apparent European-Japanese birth, which with her red hair and brown eyes, makes somewhat of a contrast, although not a dazzling beauty it his intriguing nonetheless, she wears it long with the right side shaved, and its usually tied in a ponytail and showing a slim blue colored braid right where the buzz cut starts.

 Her right arm shows two tattoos, one depicting as a female in the form of a mist appearing to a warrior, another a nine tailed fox crossing the path of the warrior above her, both are in traditional Japanese art and upon close astral inspection they both show signs of latent power.

[/spoiler]

Adam Pike, Former special ops for the UCAS military. Adam was dishonorably discharged when he made waves after his team got slaughtered by ghouls. After hearing half his team get devoured over the Tach-net, and another two (Angela's Husband included) put a bullet in thier brains to avoid the same fate, he pushed the army to take responsiblity, and for the UCAS to regulate Infected populations more harshly.

Since the Army gave him the boot, he's been working with his old childhood friend, now goes by chuck, to find work. Chuck knows Adam's skill level and what his standards are. (He's not afraid to shoot a gun or even kill, but does his best to keep body counts down, preferring cover ID's to break-ins and framing his targets for Lone Star to take care of rather then offing them himself.) Chuck was also the one who suggested the handle Blurr, Adam hasn't decided if he likes it or not yet.

After hard lesson in the ways the shadowruns are different from government ops, he met St. Patty, a street healer and doctor that Dave introduced him too. While he thinks Patty's a bit of a drunk he just can't dislike a guy who magically brought him from the brink of death left him with some of the best pain killers.

Agent James Daweson was Adam's partner in the field when he got hit by those ghouls. Adam lived, James didn't. As if that wasn't bad enough James never found out about the little one-night with his wife Angela. While Angela outwardly hates Adam, she's kept in contact. and even helped him find an apartment when he moved back. They still talk but there's often ice in the room after.

Adam's got some mild allergies to the outdoors but that's why he likes the metroplex so much. No grass or pollen left in the big city, and honestly the smog doesn't bother him as much.

For the Red Queen, I'm thinking of picking up distinctive style, Outspoken against The White Queen (or some other specific minor group.) Then have a mild allergy to.. something uncommon. I don't know what thought just yet. Currently thinking gold

I always wanted to make a character who was allergic to Cats and Dogs, just something so mundane seems awesome. Though if you wanted a common allergy to something uncommon I'd suggest like fresh fruit or meat (beef,pork and lamb) Both are fairly normal allergies but because dystopia real fruit or real meat are pretty rare.
