It depends how you want to do it Jo. Just make sure, that if you have
super characters, that the players flush out their backgrounds to help
explain why the characters have what they have. For example, a character
that I once played (and still have), I gave A in money. I then flushed out
his background....A briliant programmer/decker for a corp, he left after
his wife and daughter were killed in the Night of Rage. Vowing vengence
on the Awakened for the death of his wife and daughter, he left the corp
and took to the shadows. Interestingly, I have a friend who won't play
SRII, because he doesn't think that the character generation process gives
him enough...oh well...to each his own.
