So far I've only played shadowrun online in IRC, with a bunch of friends who are total newbies like myself, so you could say this is technically my first character. I'm aiming for a Hacker/Rigger who graduated from boosting cars to shadowrunning.

I took Implant Induced Immune Deficiency and High Maintenance Implant to reflect the traumatic nature of how Box obtained his cyberarm, which is also where the addiction to Pain Killers comes in, as he depends on them to cope with phantom pains. I couldn't actually find any suitable pain killer rules in the books though, so I didn't spend any nuyen on drugs so far. I also liked the idea of a nearsighted character, hence Reduced Vision and glasses with Vision Enhancement 3, so that he needs the glasses to see. Allergy to milk came up because I needed 5 more BP.
I've also read the matrix section pretty much end to end a couple of times, but I'm still not too sure how it works out in play and what programs I'll need to focus on, so I just basically went down the list and grabbed almost everything.
