Actually, Kim, that is something that would have to be decided by the GM and
yourself, IMO. Humanity, of which the games here have an attribute for, is
something that reflects much.

Something I found interesting is the Otaku "Charisma" definition is fairly
upbeat. It is the "reflection of the self image." Now I know that Willpower
is the Cybermantic attribute of effect, but what about Charisma. Couldn't
that be part of the formula as well?
