This is Slider, an ex-gymnast who was caught shooting up drugs and buying black market Bioware.
I am looking for mainly what 'Ware to plug up my free essence with. I would also like some help with my skills. I have the gear pretty much picked out in my notebook and haven't transferred it to chum yet.

How did you spend your starting karma?
Is the Muscle Toner "used"? I presume that's how it's under the Availability limit.
Negative qualities (like Addiction, if Slider is still shooting up) can get you extra karma to spend. Use that karma to buy low-level skills like Pilot Ground Craft. Or consider high-value positive qualities, like Catlike or Mentor Spirit. Cat or Raven could be a good fit for a mentor spirit, but keep an eye on the disadvantages and how they fit into the overall character concept.
I'm not sure why we're bothering with Impersonation 1 if the total dice pool is 2. If you want a crummy social skill, pick up Etiquette, which is much more commonly used. You might have to Edge any Social test you make.
Wall Running isn't a great value. The number of meters you can run is based on Strength + Running. For you that's 8 dice, which means you can run 2-3 meters up a wall. But, wait, you're a troll, so you're already 2.5 meters tall. Instead, I'd look into Light Body and/or Hang Time. Light Body makes you a better jumper (stacks well with your existing Agility and Gymnastics) and Hang Time lets you stick to walls. If you scrap Running then that frees up a few skill points that you can redirect into other skills, like Perception.
