No trees were harmed in the creation of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Just trying to keep it readily visible either for people to use what was already made, or to make new ones to add. I really wish that it'd get pinned to the top.

The old one should get moved over to 'previous editions', and then we can stick this in its place.  ;)

This really needs to be pinned .
But also i would like to stress the fact that if anyone is experienced with SR5,
Please consier adding more archetypes to this.
Shadowrun really needs more of these , as in all common character ideas represented ,
with prefferably one for each possible race .
SR5 archetypesof all races needed , add art male/female art if possible http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=12881.30

I'll chime in on pining this thread, as well as the previous suggestion to take the one currently pinned and pin it in the previous editions forum.

I dunno if this is the kinda thing you're looking for, but I made a Face/Social Infiltrator based on the quote from Run Faster where Rigger X mentions having run with a former bunraku puppet.

Bringing it back up to the front page.

going to make some archetypes using the new rules? or are you just advertizing for others to do such?

Just trying to keep it readily visible either for people to use what was already made, or to make new ones to add. I really wish that it'd get pinned to the top.

Basic Archetypes, probably limited to the Big Basic Book, with some suggestions from other books if available?  Would Negative qualities be useful or should they be assumed (25 points)?

Just about anything reasonable, and yeah any Negatives should probably be shown.

A Google Drive link would probably be best though. That's how the original post is set up and it would make it easier to add to the original.

Mechanical Notes:  Cyberdeck is built into the Cyberarm and the Pistol can fit in the Smuggling Compartment.  Essentially anyplace without a decent Cyberware Scanner you can walk into fully equipped and ready to go.  And if they only have one decent Cyberware Scanner you can likely hack past that. 

Use Electronic Warfare through the Sensors in place of Perception per p. 445 of the Basic book under Sensors.  Use the drones for everything you can, think of them as disposable.

You're a paper tiger in combat, let others draw fire.  Get into cover, and focus on finishing off wounded targets.  7 Edge so don't be shy about spending it.

Suggested advancements, likely you're going to spend karma upping some of your low stats, Charisma, then Strength.  But pick up one or two Logic based skills after every run until you have them all at one.  With Jack of All Trades a new skill costs one Karma and with Logic of 8, you can buy two hits right out of the gate.  Handy for Armorer, Demolitions, and other niche unopposed skills.  If your GM lets you work for the people to convert Karma to Nuyen, go ahead and start right away.  Until the rent is due all you need is booze, bullets, and bandages.  Eventually you'll want to pick up an Agent Rating 6, but it's not critical.

Mechanical notes: This is a basic pet class technomancer.  aka Petnomancer.  Your main needs are a decent quality Fake SIN and a couple days of downtime to Register Machine Sprites.  You can either start Submerging ASAP or flesh out a few skills first, but this is about as balanced of a start as a Technomancer gets.   

You're reliant on Drugs for initiative boosts so read those carefully so you know when you have to take them.  To top it off you're squishy and slow, so keep your head down and send your Machine Sprites to buff the more Combat capable characters in your team.  Personally as soon as I've got a spare Machine Sprite I'd park it in the Sensor Array and leave it on overwatch.  Otherwise use your own Electronic Warfare skill as Perception via the Sensor.
