Okay I think I finally settled on this and it was by no means an easy choice

A: Attributes
B: Magic (Mystic Adept)
C: Metatype (Elf)
D: Skills
E: Resources

@deadpool From what i imagined from your character description, going for Mustle toner rating 4 and reflex recorder biowares (less than 1 essence) and adept power for the Initiave boost you can have an insane dice pool for shooting ;)

Mmm, Heavy machine gun is legal with license, combat drone that come with weapon mount dont even required a license, yet, installing a weapon mount seems to be illegal... what do I make of that?

Seems like bureaucratic red tape (probably something to do with unions) buy the drone with the weapon mount ;) and let the union have their cut

i like the idea of having my favorite rotor drone as bodyguard in risky situation I have to be in person, the other drones seems much less fitting to the character.

It's SR, so reviewing character sheets are taking longer than I thought. Hang in there. Let me settle the submissions in order.

@runekyndig, two main edits first:
At character creation, your Magic rating can only go up to 6, not 8. This means you have spare adjustment points, put them in Edge? This means you'll have to rethink your spell selection.
You can only have up to 20 points of negative qualities.
I'll look at nuyen and equipment later, after you finishing tweaking these.
Dec 30, 2019 11:28 am
Next up,@thevagrant. Also two edits for now.

You can only have up to 6 qualities at character creation, whether positive or negative. Total negative qualities capped at 20 Karma points, so you'll have to remove some.
Small typo: I assume the Influence skill is at 1, not 0.

I'll do nuyen and equipment next, and then check essence.

Thank you missed that limit on magic

The first time I read the Select Qualities, I thought so as well, but we discussed it somewhere and I realized I was wrong. I'm totally fine with you house ruling the max 20 points of negative qualities, but then we agree that its a house rule
From_page_66_in_corebook says:
Select Qualities
This step can be done at any point after you’ve developed a little backstory and you know something about the character you’re going to bring to life. Look through the Qualities section (p. 70) and start a list of things you think fit your character concept. You can pick based on mechanics, but it might be more fun to design a concept, pick qualities that suit it, and see what happens!
Once you have the list, tally up the costs, positive and negative. The limit on qualities at character creation is this: You can’t select more than six total qualities at character creation, and the net bonus Karma cannot be more than 20.

Ooo good catch I misread that. Nah wasn't planning to house rule at all on this, so please proceed.
Applies to you too @thevagrant, although you still have too many qualities.

to add to the confusion, I have resubmitted a custom sheet with a link to my google sheet. The GP sheet is not good enough
Dec 30, 2019 1:42 pm
@melanqolia, two edits for now as well:
I think you have 1 more point to spare for your Attributes. You should have 16 (+4 adjustment points). By my count you've used 19. Did you account for the fact that Edge starts at 1 too?
The other is a typo. Engineering skill should be at 1.
Dec 30, 2019 1:43 pm
For the 3 who've submitted so far, I'll do the nuyen and equipment check next (and check on essence). Yikes I need a calculator or excel sheet.

....and that is why I have a google sheet for my shadowrun character :D

You will not need one for mine as I have the one laid out in build order and the one used for in game reference however if you want one designed I can do that ;-) or maybe you can steal runekyndig's

That being said if I post a basically empty custom character sheet -- can you put the template into that you would like us to use -- I will also post a character-build sheet that makes seeing the numbers a whole lot easier

That being said I should be posting my build version a bit later today along with the sheet to house your character reference template
