I decided I wanted to put a character up that is pretty cut and dry. This guy should be easy to fit into any Shadowrun game. He's mundane, he can do some damage, he doesn't have an overwhelming personality, and he has some good typical showdowrunning skills. He is in the black-book looking for work as well. He has a bike, but I can take that out if you don't want characters with vehicles in your campaign.

Name: Jeffrey Thomson
Alias: Jumpy
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Nationality: North American
Lifestyle: Middle
Karma Spent: 0
Physical Description: This young, slender, human male has a stupid grin on his face. A conversation with him is probably short, he just doesn't have a lot goin' on upstairs. He is good-looking, though, so as long as he keeps his mouth shut, he probably isn't annoying.
Personality/background Jeffrey Thomson is an adrenalin junky. His main interest is Free Running, a fad that started early this century in France and spread like wildfire in urban areas around the globe. He can be seen diving off rooftops to the next building, only to do a smooth rolling landing and keep running to the next obstacle. He loves riding his bike in the city, and can be found swerving in and out of traffic.
Why does he shadowrun? Because he likes the rush. The teams he has been on refer to him as "Jumpy" because he tends to jump into things a bit early... He somehow survives and gets the job done, so there are no complaints about him.... yet...
Those that run with him know that he is rarely surprised, and usually jumps in out of nowhere and beheads a few would-be attackers with his monofilament whip before bullets start flying, which is good for jobs that are not meant to be noisy.
A quick data search on him would show that he has bad credit due to the fact that he is behind on his mortgage a month. His condo will be foreclosed on in six months, if he doesn't start being smarter with his money, or bring some extra cash in from a job.
