Wel, first up, this looks like an extreme munchkin character... I'm a bit
amazed you bother with stats at all, since any character like this I would
use would be a type 4 (sort of a shorthand classification I use for NPCs:
type 1 = bystander, no stats or background at all; type 2 = cannon fodder,
has only stats relevant to combat; type 3 = fully developed, all stats but
mainly background; type 4 = string-puller, no stats, full background, can
do anything necessary for the story).

Anyway, if you want comments about this character, you really should have
posted him to ShadowRN (subscribe to that by sending "subscribe shadowrn"
to listproc@********.itribe.net). NERPS is for writing Shadowrun
net.sourcebooks, and I would like to ask anyone intending to comment on
this character (or this message, if it's not relevant to NERPS) to do so
on ShadowRN.

1.85 m (I hate Imperial, and will change any Imperial measures in NERPS
material to metric. Yes, I can do that... ;)

Back up a tick. "6'1"/175 lbs" and he lives in FRANCE! The place where the
metric system originated...
