Roll attributes in order take what ya git. Roll 2d6 (on roll of 11 or 12, remove the "6", yielding 5 or 6). 2 cripple, 3-4 low, 5-7 average, 8-9 high, 10 super
Luck now counts for psychic power & "essance"(from ShadowRun®©). Cyber subtracts from Luck as well as Empathy. But, if Luck drops to zero, the soul loses contact with the body & "dies". The soul can be trapped in the "dead" host with psychic abilities: cybermancy® and cyberzombies® from Cybertechnology®©

Roll background then choose skills. Initial skills are not one-for-one, character must pay skill multiplier (special ability skills are x^2, "sqared")

Get stuff: normal dross & duff, plus 3 items
Item must be lessthan $1000 and appropriate to character concept. Items come with extra batteries, clips, whatever... Character can "sell out" for three more items.

Character Careers:

NetRunner:

Mindplayer. This career is adapted from Pat Cadagin's Minplayers©. This character is specialized in mental psychology. Using a modified cdeck, the 'player jacks in to the patients (sub)consious mind. Here are some examples of mindplayer schools: reality affixer, dreamer, mind police...

Rigger. This netrunner character specializes in drones & vehicles rather than computers. The rigger is considered a netrunner because of the control remote concentration within the interface ability. Riggers may 'deck as well, but most of thier skills & resources are spent on vehicles: pilot, driving, vehicle-control rig...

Media:

Gargoyle. This career is inspired from Snowcrash©. The Gargoyle is so named because the character is always linked into the Net. He is recording & dumping everything he experiences in the hope that it will become valuable & someone will buy it. The theory is, if something interesting happens and the gargoyle is there, he recorded & filed it. He then goes on to sell the recording or archive it in the hopes that it will be significant in the future. Gargoyles have a distracted attitude, as they are downloading info about your prostate surgery, Urbanbrawl® scores, old food riot video...

Psychic:

The rules for psychics are published in Night's Edge©, Cyberpunk 2020®© dark alternative game style. Psychics use those rules with a few additions: psychic skill/ability and Luck as psychic power stat. The psychic's special skill is "psi", similar to interface, jury rig... This skill adds to Luck + power when rolling to activate a power/ability. Characters cannot just become psychics as the training requires years of meditations, awakening, chemical therapy & development. Psychics are an independent class. (I allow players to choose any skills during creation, so I have not included the Psychic "top ten" skill list)
