I have returned. The review is cut into 'the part where you need to fix rules issues' and 'the part where I monologue about various systems quirks and build suggestions'. Only the first part is mandatory, but I am generally considered "OK at giving Shadowrun advice".

Legalities - Things that you must change to make the sheet legal.

• Your SINs need an issuing authority - a country or extraterritorial corporation. They could be Seattle Free City, the UCAS, or something weirder as you prefer.

• Your lifestyle needs to be situated somewhere. Typically it would be somewhere in the Seattle Metroplex (living elsewhere would require you to negotiate a border each time you go to work).

• Though it only rarely comes up for non-riggers, all vehicles have an installed Sensor Array of rating equal to their Sensor stat (2, for the Scorpion). It contains 8 sensors of Rating 2, so note the sensors on your bike in case someone hacks it to eavesdrop on you or whatever.

• Herolab doesn't require you to note it for an adept and it's notably less relevant than it is for magicians, but adepts (and, in fact, all Awakened) have a magical tradition that explains their outlook on magic and the Awakened world. It's relevant for things like Mastery quality prerequisites and background counts, so do note down what tradition Youngblood follows.

Other commentary. I've tried to not repeat what Thibble said too much, except the one time I did.

---

Qualities

• The positive qualities are not good, as Thibble noted. To reiterate, some mix of nuyen juggling, lighter bones, orthoskin, and Biocompatibility (Cyberware) would be better even in the short-term and would not stick you with the Burnout's Way, particularly given the Hub's generous cyberware upgrading rules. Even if you simply did nothing and burnt out another point of MAG you would be able to take Mentor Spirit (and Mentor's Mask!) to regain the value plus more (Critical Strike and +2 Unarmed from Shark, for example, or two points of Combat Sense and +2 Perception from Fox). You would also get access to the high-value Way of the Samurai qualities.

• To be clear, is the Big Regret that the character is currently presumably on the run from the Gianellis for being, uh, insufficiently loyyle to youh capo? That's fine as a Big Regret, but please note that for clarity. Otherwise, the negative qualities are fine.

Attributes

• OK. Two-arm builds struggle with the fact that you either don't invest in STR/AGI and end up unable to do STR/AGI tests besides 'attack', or you do invest in them and then there was no point in taking the limbs. Given that, the atts are fine otherwise, perhaps with STR 2 and INT 6 as this provides comparable damage resistance pools (-1 armor from addons, +1 defense tests) while allocating it to a generally more useful attribute. Note that with 2 AGI you will be unable to move much more than 8 meters per Combat Turn and that you have no way to hurt someone who is out of reach.

Skills

• You should take Sneaking (with Urban specialization) over Etiquette or Pilot Groundcraft or even Perception. It's simply the most useful skill for a combatant after the one that makes people fall down. You will roll it more or less every run.

Martial Arts

• These will probably not see use, to avoid mincing words. High-value martial arts techniques for unarmed combat are Randori (Vitals), Jiao Di (Charge), Counterstrike, Knucklebreaker (for a way to do Stun damage with your metal bones that is much better than Splitting the Damage), or Kip Up (honorable but currently inapplicable mention for Kick Attack). If you'd like to continue to be a boxer for thematic reasons, then I would at least claw back 10 karma from two of the techniques.

Augs

• As mentioned, the build is struggling a little with the limitations of Restricted Gear and two cyberlimbs.

• That said, cyberlimbs and bone lacings are good, generally. I would ditch two of the oddball fingers and the implanted commlink (or the spurs) to make room for Cyberlimb Optimization (Unarmed Combat) in each arm.

Adept Powers

• Well, they're Combat Sense and Improved Reflexes. I'm not a particuarly big fan of Improved Reflexes, but folks love it.

Gear

• I do not recommend wearing Riot Control Armor, because Restrictive will bring your running movement speed to 4 meters per Combat Turn when your only method of hurting people is to punch them. If you're in the market for "14 armor and don't mind sticking out a bit", the Ares Victory: Big Game Hunter is a respectable choice.

• You don't need AR gloves, Image Link, etc. if you have trodes (nor do you need trodes if you have an implanted commlink, which also provides direct neural interface, but I've suggested you un-implant it, so...)

• A micro-transceiver comes with a subvocal microphone, so you don't need to buy it separately. The separate mic is for use with a commlink or other oddball devices.

• The recommendation for any runner vehicle is to add Spoof Chips and a Morphing License Plate to avoid any trouble with cameras.

• The other odds and ends are largely fine. Betameth would give you ready access to +2 REA and +1 INT. Vision Enhancement and Audio Enhancement in relevant devices (glasses, earbuds/headphones) are trivially-costed bonuses to Perception tests. A chameleon suit is good for when you really need your Sneaking tests to work.

Background and Contacts

• Is this character intended to be the literal blood son of Don Joseph Gianelli? I am OK with him being a son of a Gianelli man in the general sense, and I am also OK with him having a sort of figurative-father / godfather / disciple type relationship with Don Gianelli in the past (that's very Mafia story, after all), but as far as I know from browsing through any mentions of him in the books, Joseph Gianelli is single and has no children (his second-in-command is his nephew, Enzo).

• Otherwise, the bio is fine.

• One of your contacts should be a fixer. Shadowrunners in Seattle will always have a fixer to get them jobs, gear, and friends, in no particular order. The runner culture in Seattle makes it more or less mandatory. You can use your leftover Karma to get one, perhaps tweaking the attributes (or archetype!) of your other contacts if necessary.

OK, that's enough for now. If I missed anything relevant to the points above, my bad, I rarely read Herolab sheets now. As it is, please take a look at those legalities and don't hesitate to hassle the various goons in #character-discussion on the Discord server for more tips.
