Nothing.

Uh, no.

And how many of these 'Runners' are there in the world? 1 in 100,000,
Maybe. I don't see Shadowrun as a world just for these elite badass
runners. Its a world for everyone, and everyone has to find a place.
Everyone starts somewhere, nobody starts out as 'elite'. There is a huge
giant gap between what I would call a 'shadowrunner' and what I would call
a 'character I play in Shadowrun'.
