Understood about Skype, I still prefer Infrno but no hard feeling if we use Skype, and I would be in a RL game if that where possible for me.
The character I have the most work into is an elven weapons spec. I won't go to deep into back story as that may not be known till later in game but fairly independent, either taking leadership or being the one to sneak around the back or some such thing, but still very much a team player. Had a run in with a international group of some kind a few years back so they jump at the chance to make her life hell, fortunately they have other things to do so they don't rear they're ugly head very often. Also, my character values reiability and comradely, she might meet you by giving you a lift, or ask to crash at your place, and if you pick on the little guy or betray the team she might shoot you. She is easy going and friendly at first appearance but once you get to know her a bit better she can be a rather blunt cold and parinoid.
As far as stats go, good with guns and vehicles, using, fixing, building, modifying. Some social skills an enemy and maybe some bio ware for an extra IP if every one else is going that way. Not huge dice pools though, and I still got some points. Generaly emphasize role playing over by dice pools.
That's all for now, looking forward to seeing what you all are thinking, Raven
