Fill in equipment as you want...that's all I've gotten through.

Yes, this character is ludicrous. It's also legal, if you'd let by
someone getting 111 million nuyen (plus equipment) and about 150 karma
(just for a few skills, and to get the intelligence up high enough to
get the MPCP 18...).

Disgusting, isn't it? Perfect for April Fool's Day...I'll wait for a
couple more minutes and send this on its way. Enjoy the stupidity...

You forgot one thing about an MPCP 18 - the creator of it needs to have a
computer skill AND a Boitech skill averaging at 18

So what? This character certainly doesn't care...you can make him
worse by saying that the surgeon that put the cyberware in made 6 or more
successes, based on the SSC rules, to get another -20% essence lost, I believe.
There's some more stuff you can add...an arm to hold chips, up the Skillwire
level, and so on...

NI> We will - maybe I'll take him up against the players tonight

Oh god.

NI> Mu ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!
