Dana appear plain and shy, she seldom speak in front of other people and most of what she does speak is prayers. She is pretty but does anything within her power to mask it, looking at her she is clearly running from something but from what? She does not speak much. She is clearly not local, her English is a bit awkward with a clear Israeli accent.

Dana was not born, she was manufactured, bred in a lab in order to capture and tame magic, in order to weaponize it. After decades of failures, Dana was the success, a working prototype. Tougher than normal, built for combat and awakened since birth with magical powers that seem to grow with age. Her adopting parents were devoted to the good of the country and its safety above all else and happily monitored her progress. Life seemed dictated for Dana until it all broke apart.

She was extracted by an extremist ultra orthodox hasidic movement called pure heart. These guys were not anti technology, but they were strongly against genetic engineering. Dana to their method was an abomination that should have never existed.  Her life were spared as their leader Rabi Chaim Ha Gaon was tempted to use Dana for the group’s interest.
With pure heart, Dana assumed a new identity as Emuna Magen, she served as the main body guard of Chaim. However, being pretty, extremely shy and unable to form social ties Chaim decided that his body guard would be easy prey. He attempted to coerce her into sleeping with him. Dana panicked as the married man touched her, it was the first time she was touched and her body responded. She wanted him so badly, but alas a massive electrical blast triggered by her emerging powers instantly killed Chaim when the two slept for the very first time.

She was now on the run, extremely powerful but detached, unconnected unloved and hunted. She had no idea how to stay hidden from both Pure heart and Ares- Israel and no connection in the shadows. Her guardian angel was Bumblebee - a shadowrunner sent to extract her and return her to Ares Israel. After talking to Dana Bumblebee decided that the naive girl would better serve as magical support for her runs. She helped Dana disappear and took care of all the logistics. To Dana, Bumblebee was a love interest, a mother figure and a life rope, she was barely aware that she was exploited for her growing powers. She did not have much choice - until now.

Gilga, I haven't checked the maths but you seem to have crammed a lot in here, don't forget mysad adept powers are 5 karma/ point not 2...expensive business!

Yes I know, I sort of tried a focused character for once rather than a jack of all - but  i often seems to be able to squeeze the system for anything it can give me. I can try a new concept if she is too powerful - the sum to 8 seemed to help in a way as it forced me to create a less jack-of-all trades character.   I also have a concept for a mundane character, I'll see if I can have time to build him.

Alright, I have lowered some of Maya's skills and added a couple that might help us.  Hardly any money, so no additional implants.

Okay, as it seems the majority of character discussion is here, I will ask a fool question on this forum as my first post ever here.

How does one join an OP campaign page in order to post a sheet?

Provided the build is 'legal' with 5k / power point then I've not got a problem with the power level, I just couldn't see how you managed to squeeze the 'ware along with the powers and the other qualities you have!  If you can provide a breakdown then no problem at all!

I added an explanation to the char-sheet: I use chummer 5 to do the book keeping usually but it did not report the expenses.

Karma: cooperate citizen - 25
total of 50: spent:  (25 starting + 25 from negative qualities)
30 power points
10 trans human
5 mentor spirit
5 money
Money - 6k + 10k converted:
Bone density augmentation R3 15k
Striking callus R2 1k.

Priorities:
Attributes: A - (4)
Magic: A (4)
The rest E

I did find that with not having to pay for fake I'd, lifestyle, commonly, transport, armor .... the characters I've built 'feel' about ten karma stronger than I expected.  The sum to eight really hasn't felt all that restrictive IMO.

Yeah, the removal of lifestyle and gear costs means that if you play a Human you're basically doing A/C/C (B/B/C) and if you're mundane on top of that you're doing A/A. Mundane with some 'ware gets back to A/C/C.

I can make it sum-6 if you want?!?  ::)

You are meant to be exceptional individuals, don't worry, your opponents will still be a challenge!

I am DigitalHeroin over on OP... and I might have gone on a tear on my overnight work shift last night and built yet another character.

That leaves me with three possibilities:

1. Kasper - The street kid parkour Adept;
2. Blank - A science experience molded by Chimera into a sleeper assassin; and
3. Scrap - An engineering prodigy with implants put in before her emergence.

Heh, to be clear, observation, not complaint!
