That was my first thought, too :)
However, the Elven Speed Sam was an SRII, pre-Cybertechnology, starting
character. Basically, he was the highest-initiative starting character
Martin Steffens and I managed to put together at the time; with the rules
set down for this "challenge" it's even easier because that million-nuyen
limit doesn't apply.
Off the top of my head, take a night one and stick 6 points into Quickness
and Intelligence, then add MBW-4, rating 6 reaction enhancers, enhanced
articulation, and level 4 muscle toner. Total Reaction: 7 + 8 + 6 + 1 + 2
= 23, with 5D6 initiative dice and two extra actions each turn. Yes,
this'll be a cyberzombie and suffering from biosystem overstress, but
those weren't mentioned as limitations on the character :)
I'm sure it's possible to go over this, but this took me maybe five
minutes to piece together, including looking in M&M to find the names of a
few items.
A greater challenge is this one: create the highest-initiative _starting_
character, using either the standard SR3 system or the building points
system. Use only gear from SR3-era, FASA-published Shadowrun rulebooks and
follow all normal character generation rules (e.g., no ratings over 6, no
availability over 8, put a maximum of 6 points into each attribute, and so
on).
