A friend of mine has stretched himself thin on RPGs, and isn't as up to speed as he should be on SR5. I told him I'd build his character for him, with his input on certain things such as advantages and disadvantages. In SRM4, he was just a Street Sam. In this edition, he wanted to do more than just shoot; after some last minute changes he's going with a hybrid combat decker build. I'm not as up to speed on the matrix section as I probably should be, so I made his character first and am posting it (next up in this thread will be mine, once I get it done!
). Please let me know if you see any errors or such, and any ides on improvements will be greatly appreciated!
