oh, yeah. "my parents were runners so i decided to be too." real
reasonable. if _my_ parents had been shadowrunners, and by some weird
stroke of luck i actually managed to grow up with them, i would
probably want to be any _but_ a runner. :)
there are probably some borderline psychotics who dream of being
shadowrunners, but i would imagine such beings are rare indeed.
the GM should probably help players build a background, especially
when the player is new to the game. imo, it's as much the GM's fault
as the player's when a character is created with no or minimal
background.

of a powerful narcotic. That, or he was a graduate student.
