I've nearly finished writing up a Street Samurai style character. Mostly a cybernetics freak/scientist, but archetype wise works best as SS. Should get this posted up in next day or so.
Do you mean beyond a White Raven? I'll admit I've not had chance to look into the familiar rules that are in Mage book yet. I've yet to move a copy of that to work. Or do you mean general function?
Sorry, I didn't make it very clear. I get that Merit for free, so I've got Enchantment for free already. I'll update it to be a bit clearer under my Merits.
I've now edited the post with my backstory. Give me a shout if there's any issues. You'll probably be able to guess from it that I'm UK based, and thus know minimal about the US university education system. So I'm pretty much winging that bit.... (Though I did check that that uni did Computer Science :P)
Note, I've edited my first post with my new character. Pretty much taking him down another path. Also, I now have a familiar! Which book wise says you Stat up. Let me know if this is going to be a pain. I'll sort out backstory tonight, along with type of familiar (Undecided yet.)
Okay, I've been perusing through the Thaumaturge chapter. Apologies for being a minor pain, but are you okay if I add the Thaumaturge template to my character? And sort of re-jig my sheet to allow it. I didn't know Thaumaturge exists and were so cool.
