Start with what you feel comfortable with. If your previous
experience with RPG's has slotted you toward magicians, then learn
the system; try and adept.
I started this game with the former company man. I made my
'former" company man a former hitman for the Yakuza. Needless to
say, I left on good terms and performed as a technician for my
family on occassion. However, since shadowrunning would sharpen
my skills, my Oyabun had no objection to me accepting side work
as long as it did not conflict with the operations of the Yak.
I hate typing people to Muscle. Perhaps this is because I
have a 50% female player ratio and many of these ladies did not
want to settle for a chrome killer.
