A few notes:
Creation System:
If you used the creation system from the core book, you're fine. Though you do have the option to reprioritize things if you like. The Sum-To-10 system is pretty simple.
Priotity A = 4 points
Priority B = 3 points
Priority C = 2 points
Priority D = 1 point
Priority E = 0 points
If you used the creation system from the book, then you would have one of each priority: (A+B+C+D+E) = 10
Alternately, if you wanted to have a character with all 5 areas prioritized at C, each of them would be 2 points, and that all adds up to 10 points.
I really like this system, because it allows me to sacrifice a little in one area to bring up a little in another area. I made a character that I wanted to be a bit more balanced across the board, so I made her B, B, C, C, E.
Licences
Licences have to be tied to a specific SIN. If you have multiple SINs (real or fake) then you need to specify which one the licenses belong to. This is only likely to come up if you get arrested or if you try to go through a security checkpoint (and when have Shadowrunners ever gone through a checkpoint?)
I don't remember how the rule is written, but I'm going to run it that a single license will cover a class of firearm or weapon (pistols, SMGs, Rifles, blades, etc.) or a single piece of restricted cyberware. Remember that you only need to have a license for something if it is marked with an R in its availability code. If it doesn't have a letter, you don't need a license, if it's marked with an F you can't get a license unless you are a member of the military or corporate security.
Also, you only need a license if you get caught.
Driver's licenses will be required if you are driving yourself. Many people have cars that drive themselves, and don't need licenses if they let the car drive. But really, if a cop tries to pull over a shadowrunner, chances are that driving without a license are the least of your troubles.
Rinse would not need a personal bartending license unless he actively works as a bartender. He would not need a license to be a chef, but a restaurant would need a license to operate.
Seriously though, don't get too terribly caught up on the licenses. I'm going to try to run this a little looser anyway, since there's such a lag in responses dealing with posting on the internet.
Lifestyle
Similar to licenses, lifestyles Medium and above need to be tied to a SIN (real or fake).
Character interactions:
So, Rinse knows Andy because Andy has worked on his car. Everybody has done a couple of jobs together, at least enough to know that the others aren't likely to abandon you in a tough situation. Does anybody else have any off-the-job connections with each other that I missed?
Character approval:
I'm going to give everybody a chance to check over their characters and make any adjustments to priorities, licenses, lifestyles, and whatever else. When you say in this thread that you're ready, I'll check over your character and do approvals. Then we can get to playing.
