Added to first post. Quick question, though, why three antennae?

Antennae stack, they're kinda awesome.

Mechanical notes, you're just a touch slower than some Street Samurai, but you'll be fine.  Your immediate needs are Transportation, good fake SIN, and I'd recommend a Combat Knife for concealable back up as well.  You're going to be putting Karma into rounding out your skills.  Consider picking up Jack of All Trades Quality with the 5 Karma this character still has left over. 

Perfect Time quality and Gear Access from the Ares Victory Armor mean you can drop a weapon, draw a weapon and still have two simple or a complex action left over.  Essentially it is so you can drop whatever gun you're using and pull a melee weapon and still attack in the same action pass.  If you don't feel like futtzying with that, or you only have the Basic Book swap for Ambidexterity and a Combat Knife and get your 40k on with a pistol and knife in close combat.

Mechanical notes:  Sorta complex to build, but easy to play.  7 Edge plus Revels in Murder means you spend Edge on each attack roll.  Your Perception skill is Hardwired so you can't Edge on that one, but otherwise you should feel confident in Edging on any important roll.  You're going to be spending Karma on skills, skills and more skills to flesh out your capabilities.  Again if your GM lets you work for the people to convert Nuyen to Karma go ahead and take advantage of that as you're pretty well set up and just need to cover operating costs.

You've got 4 Karma left at chargen too, so if you've got any skills you feel are a "must have" from the start you can grab them.   Also note, you've got a sweet ride, feel free to pick up your less economically gifted Chummmers.

You're leaving an awful lot of attributes at 1 in your stuff, Hobbes. It would probably be best if you tweaked them to keep that to a minimum.

Usually 1 dump stat.  Decker has two.  My thoughts are if someone has a table with a Stat tax, and 1's aren't allowed it's fairly easy to spend 10 karma or move one point.  IMO its better to start with mechanically optimal and let folks tweak for whatever the table rules are, then try to presume what table rules "everyone" is using. 

Your thread though, if you want something changed it can be done.

Street Samurai - Books needed. All of them.  Seriously. 
I have an idea. Since you cannot spec in EMW skill wouldn't it be better to use hardwires for it and allocate skill points to Perception instead?
EDIT: @A4BG: may I use Pastebin instead of Google Docs?

I suggested a Google Drive link mainly because people don't have to be logged in to it to view the link. A lot of the other ones I've seen do require that (unsure if that one does).

Can't spend Edge on Skillwires, Perception was my personal guess for least regrets.

Mechanical Notes: Cloned Killer fresh from the Bacta Tanks or wherever they grew you.  You're raw, but you've got a lot of potential.  You're like one of those angry movie characters that kills dozens of henchmen on your way to revenge whatever made you angry, but without the life experiences.  Your immediate needs are skills, a place to live, transportation, and a fake SIN.  It'll likely take you a couple of runs to get enough Nuyen to complete your shopping list so be prepared to be creative on those first couple runs.  Or, phone a friend for a ride.  I would get a Lifestyle after the first run, along with whatever motorcycle you can afford.  Get the fake SIN after the second run.  And you can figure the third run will let you add on some armor upgrades, and flesh out your regular gear.

Karma-wise you need to work on your skills before you initiate, unless your teammates can cover you.   

Gear Access from the Ares armor lets you reload with a Speed loader with a Simple action so you can fire on each action pass.  And you should be able to fire a pistol with your Spurs out (there are non-retractable versions after all that don't penalize you, so it seems likely you can pop claws whenever...) so you can go from shooting to melee with a free action *drop pistol* and still be able to complex action attack.  Or pick up Ambidexterity, you've got 7 Karma still to burn at chargen. 

Chromed Flesh source book is really required for Prototype Transhuman that this build is centered on.

Mechanical notes:  Good news/bad news.  Good news is you're awesome.  Bad news, you're going to be spending Karma to fix your stats for a good long while before you initiate.  Getting Edge to 3 is your first priority.  Your skills are solid, you're even good enough to be a team Face at most tables, although your Etiquette skill would likely be a bit lacking for legwork.  But essentially you're a full on spellcaster and summoner that can throw 15+ dice at most opposed social tests. 

Nuyen, you'll want to pick up a fake SIN after the first run.  After that you're pretty well set.  Shapechange or Levitate combined with a Focus Concentration sustained Invisibility spell and a Spirit's movement and conceal powers actually mean you get around town at about 50 MPH as the crow flies.  Literally as the crow flies for Shapechange.  Unless the meet is a long way down the 5 at non-peak traffic hours you'll beat the team to where you're going most of the time.

Otay, done for now.  You'll want to add a "real" face character.  Personally for a face build I'd go with something like

http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=21106.msg379100#msg379100   

Dwarf Metatype is also currently unrepresented it looks like?  Should do something about that before whatever Dwarf equal representation lobbying group shows up to protest. 

Good luck with the sticky, and let me know if you'd like anything changed!

This really needs to be pinned .
But also i would like to stress the fact that if anyone is experienced with SR5,
Please consider adding more archetypes to this.
Shadowrun really needs more of these , as in all common character ideas represented ,
with preferably one for each possible race ,
as in also a dwarf or troll face , street sam, decker etc ...
and at least the humans represented in all roles .

Also what would be even cooler , if people were to add both male and female art to their sheets ,
that they perhaps found through a google search or on deviant art or the like ,
so that people who would use these as quickstart sheets for new players ,
could have players choose between male female dwarf elf troll human ork versions of different common character roles.

Also please have a look at this thread:
