Well, this character was created from the start as a cyberzombie, at a
cost of 20 building points and a couple of semi-mandatory flaws (I gave
the player the choice of a few sets of flaws; this character has
Distinctive Style, Cortex Bomb, and Hunted). This character hasn't been
played for a very long time, but she's quite afraid of Saeder-Krupp (who
"made" her before she fled into the shadows -- actually she was allowed to
flee) and therefore pretty paranoid.
My advice is to give the player the choice of working with whoever turns
the character into a cyberzombie, or to run away from them. Either has
disadvantages, which should be pretty obvious: with #1 you do what they
tell you to, and that's it, while with #2 you don't want them to find you.
I suggest playing up whichever the player chose to keep them on their
toes.

Same here, last night I decided to finally give in to the wish of one of
my players to make his character a vampire. Or so he thought...
Both player and character have been doing research into vampires for some
time, but the player failed to notice one important thing: only humans
become vampires, and he's playing a troll... Or should that be "_was_
playing a troll"? :)
