well the full deal is what i would prefer, but it is not up to me if it is
ok in this forum. One side of the argument will put it in the same area as
the rather vigorous free spirit debate we recently had, others (like me)
see it as no more bizzare than magic, and not all that balance tipping.

I am happy to play it either way, even a kid who has been in trodes nets since
infantcy and datajacked since 10 would be a messed up puppy. I see a character
that has met perhaps a handful of people in the flesh in his entire life. just
the doctors and scientist who came to help him plug in each day. The deep
resonance kid would be a bit more screwed up even, but either would be fun.

I just wanna play a disturbed and vulnerable kid decker who has just realised
that he has been somebodys lab experiment all his life and does not appreaciate
it at all. The real world to him is virtual and only limited by his imagination
so if he does bail on the corp he will suddenly have to deal with the physical
world. pretty scary i would imagine.
