Name: Edward Hale
Alias: Stake
Race: dwarf
Sex: male
Nationality: previously UCAS
Ancestry: Caucasian
Lifestyle: low, 1 month
Money: 1150¥ + 3d6*60¥ = 1810¥
Career Karma: 14
Karma Spent: 14 + 25 starting
Physical Description: Stake is a Caucasian dwarf, 120 cm tall, weighing 45 kilograms. He is relatively thing for a dwarf, except at the waist, but he tries to conceal this fact by usually wearing baggy cargo pants and a jacket with thick padding at the shoulders. Despite being only 25, he’s already balding at the temples and the top of his head. He has an unsteady gait and likes to be careful with every physical action.
Personality/background Stake was born Edward Hale, into a family of corporate engineers, working for a smaller corporation delivering parts for bigger projects. His father was a chemical engineer, his mother is a programmer. Edward inherited the intuitive mindset of his father but his mother made him used to orderliness early on. He learned both his parent’s professions but liked his mother’s better, as he saw code becoming programs as the hand of God, as a smaller Creation. His talents allowed him to train as a security spider, paid by the corporation, and he started to work for them at 21.
He was 23 when his father died in what the corporation classified as an accident. As they didn’t provide details of the case to his mother and him, he used his talents to find out more. He was shocked to find that the accident actually was a botched attempt of corporate espionage, where the corporation decided to destroy whatever the opposition looked for instead of letting them get away with it. Unfortunately, it was one of his father’s late night shifts, and he got in the crossfire.
Edward knew that confronting the managers would get him nothing but the same fate as his father so he decided to get away. He couldn’t convince his mother, however, who is a corporate wageslave through and through, so he left alone, looking for work on in the shadows. In the last two years, he slowly built his reputation. He also realized that he couldn’t simply survive by only his primary trade, so he started to get implants that helped his meat-space abilities.

As a GM I'm not sure I'd allow addiction to coding as a flaw. I like it as a character trait but I'm not sure I see enough downside, and I'm not sure how it would work with the addiction rules.

I'm not sure what environment this is planned for, but I'm not entirely sure that the reading of the Cyberarm rules that says Agility 1 (9) is legal is the correct one. It wouldn't be allowed at my table, but I don't think there's been an official ruling. (In short nowhere does the Cyberarm rule actually say that it is exempt from the Augmented Maximum).

You don't have a Computer skill which makes the coding parts of your background dificult.

Addiction can be a habit-related activity (2 hours every 2 weeks at that level). I thought of it like a time when he creates codes, algorithms and such, for public use, without any profit from that.

As i read it, cyberlimbs have a different set of abilities from your own, that's why i built it as such. Of course, if the GM says otherwise, i'll modify it, although it will need some serious rebuilding at that.

Computer skill is part of electronics skillgroup, so i have it at 5.

It'd probably behoove you to jot down the skills that group is comprised of. Just so there's no question what you can and can't do when you're at the table.

On that note, where in the hell did a company man in training get Demolition 6? Nothing against it of course, just seems weird that his background doesn't seem to make ANY mention of it at all.

For some reason I was reading that as a heading. Sorry.
