Well, is we really can actually use "As much karma as we want", I'll have to
go with Paul Collins: make a night one physad (dropping 6 points in both
Quickness and Intelligence) with Improved Reflexes level3 and spend the rest
of your karma on "Improved Quickness", initiate him to impossible levels to
have A LOT of Magic Points, and add this...

Cyberware (Deltaware): Boosted Reflexes 3, 6 Reaction Enhancers, Muscle
Augmentation 4
Bioware (Cultured): Synaptic Accelerator 2, Muscle Toner 4, Cerebral Booster
2, Enhanced Articulation.

So, before we get into the whole "infinite karma calculation", that would
give us a character with:

-A Quickness score of 18 (6 base, +2 for being a night one, +4 for muscle
toner, +4 for muscle augmentation, +2 for Improved Quickness 2 (as a
starting character).

-An Intelligence score of 8 (6 base, +2 for Cerebral Booster 2)

-A Reaction score of 28 (Base 13, +1 Enhanced Articulation, +6 Reactions
Enhancers, +2 Boosted Reflexes 3, +6 Improved Reflexes 3)

-An Initiative of 28 + 8D6 (Base 1D6, +2D6 Boosted Reflexes 3, +2D6 Synaptic
Accelerator 2, +3D6 Improved Reflexes 3)

[I know all this cyberware/bioware would drop the Magic points to make
Improved Reflexes unusable, but remember that with the "as much karma as we
want", that's not a problem anymore: initiation sweet initiation]

So, that gives you an imcredibly boring and personality-less weird Night One
Physical Adept with a whooping 28 + 8D6 of Initiative, for a total of 8
possible Initiative Passes in one turn (and that is prior to the infinite
karma spent in Improved Quickness).

[sigh]. If anybody can pull it off worse than that, I'm impressed!

Note for all us Muchkins-haters out there: Just see this as a puzzle, not as
the Shadowrun abberation it would be if someone actually created that kind
of character. The pill goes down easier.
