] Any idea's out there for an average JOE character. Not anything special
] just some guy that maybe the corps screwed over?

Gods, that one's pretty easy. Take Priority 1 skills, 2 tech, 3 stats.
Skills: get a BUNCH of skills, in a variety of things. Make him a modern-day
(so to speak) anarchist. A Neo-anarchist or something similar. Give him some
useful corpskills (basic computer, negotiation, corp etiquette), then some
other types that he's learned, whilst "plotting his revenge". Stuff like demo,
firearms, tactics, stealth, athletics, etc.

Tech: First, buy FOLLOWERS. The 200,000 NuYen option. These are the people
he first ran into. He screwed the corp, and used it to try to start running.
After all, they're "the stuff urban legends are made of". Get a smartlink, a
datajack, maybe a mid-range deck.

Stats: 3's, anyone? Up a couple of 'em, if you can.

Options: He could be just a neo-anarchist/skillsmonger, a rogue decker, a
renegade fixer, any of a number of things! Remember, there is no such thing as
totally, completely, average.

Finally, RolePlaying: Have him like the current stuff. In the campaign where
I'm running something similar, he is the embodiment of average. He likes
tri-d, eats at Stuffer Shacks, thinks that real food is "sick", and lives in a
coffin (if he can afford it)

Good luck.
