Before I copy and paste the Chummer page, I actually tried to make her in SR5 using Chummer5 and it came out worse somehow.
The base Priority system does not feel right, and karmagen on Chummer5 does not want to start for me.
The self-imposed challenge was to build a vet character that is skilled in training both physical pets and Protosapients.
Animal Husbandry and Electronics are R6.
Overall, not really happy with it but have no idea why.

This was done on 4th edition.
This is a Karmagen character.
At the time I didn't have a version of Chummer5 that could do Karmagen.
Tried it again with what I believe is the latest version, didn't end up as good.

Okay Karmagen in 4th edition
general
one rule is only one at 6 or two at 5 for skill
skill groups are at a 4 maxium for start

Qualities are numric good but i would look at Sinner Horizon and records on file Horizon a bit closer.
Not my cup of thea, advice never run against Horizon.

I can't look at the gear for this moment so no advice at that.

i used chummer 4th edition for the basics don't have acces to my books

Yeah, for some reason, I broke the restrictions for skills.
Would of preferred having a Corporate SINner Horizon.
Did an update to bring the skills back to regs.

She's a Horizon Animal Care Vet and still employed by Horizon.
Rolls are usually 12+.

As a vet what is your role? The runner tean specialise in hunting?

I dont critisie the role but are you a TM and a backup vet.

Horizon dark little secret is the Dawkins Group how does your character knows them?

Stat like in my book you are ckear for Karma

Roleplay is your group,

Has a Specific, Biased Prejudiced quality for them.
Might use them to force her into the shadows at a later time.
No plans on taking her to the shadows, at least not yet.
Initial plan for this build was to explore how a Vet would play out.
Horizon, with its openness, actually works as a starting ground.
Weirdly, she ends up using her protosapients for dealing with matrix threats more than sprites.
The Kitteh and Helsenbug are vicious on non-TM opponents.
Has a Barghest named Static to neutralize physical threats.

Item wise don't forget some fake sins and licenses and invest in some contacts, glasees and headphones with upgrades.

Take a look at the homebrew packs forum for aditional gear ideas

That was the huge problem with this build.
Okay, hurt a little, but reduced RES to 4.
Wanted to keep inventory restricted at most, with no forbidden. (have to play by Horizon's rules for now)
Which meant removing Thermal Dampening, ugh.
Also changed the complex forms a little.
