Been there, run that. :)

Part of my rationalization for that character's decision was that I've
always been partial to the idea that vastly reduced essence also reduces
sex drive... this builds on the whole 'loss of humanity' thing. But then
again, I think most players don't roleplay majorly cybered characters well
enough. Kid Stealth from some of the novels (Into the Shadows?) seems to
me to be a good example of what a 0.1 Essence freak would really be like...
antisocial to the max. If you've got less than 2 Essence, you should have
some personality issues. If you've got less than 1, you should be
downright -different-...
