<Laughs> The players in my group(s) tend to work in the same way. One
of the running gags is that one player keeps playing the same
character... oh, sure, one of them MAY be an adept and another MAY
have cyberware, but basically the same walking killing machine on legs that
walks and err... (he is notorious for repetitive redundancies, too). It
went
so far that his most recent character (and most memorable) was an adept
named Generic. :-) Another player tends to model characters after a pop
or rock music star (not so much the rocker aspect as the general
personality and character). Another is a person that is AWESOME at
playing deckers, but fails in all other archetypes. You get all kinds.
