You're reasoning doesn't really ring true here though. Sure metahumans
are a
minority of global population. However, as was discussed on ShadowRN and
other
SR forums. It flip flops in the Shadow community, as most metaraces can't
make
it in publicly accepted arenas (corporate 5 day 40 hour work week) and so
they
turn to shadow jobs to survive.

Good point...

I just don't buy an argument that there's 2 known human deckers and 6 or
so
metahumans, so FJ has to be human. Hell there's 3 known elven deckers and
only
one dwarf, according to the BBB there's close to as many dwarves as elves
so
shouldn't FJ then be a dwarf? :o)

Dwarves tend to stay on the physical world and Elves like "flashy"
things. For this, dwarves prefers to be riggers than deckers. The
opposite is also true about elves.
