Heh, offhand, I would rule that shapeshifters couldn't get cyber.
It seems simply wrong. I mean - turn the samurai to goo - the cyber changes
to goo as well. Now turn the shapeshifter into a tiger. Does the cyberware
turn into tiger too? Maybe. Perhaps shapeshifters could get cyber. I
would have to think long and hard on that one. However:
I can't imagine a shapeshifter _wanting_ cyber. The rules stress that
shifters are animals not humans, and that the animal form is the natural form.
To which form does the cyber apply? It surely couldn't work for the other form.
Then there is the question of, what do wired reflexes do to a tiger shapshifter?
Well, unless it is wires 3, I doubt anything. After all, the wires react slower
than the shifter does! =)
And Chris, I understand. That character had a _lot_ of personality
and background put into it! I liked Brandy a lot as well.... =)
