What should you know when creating and developing the character? | Character creation Shadowrun: Hong Kong Guide

If you can't create a character that suits you by your own, use one of the prepared archetypes

Most of all, your character should suit your game style. There are so much character development possibilities that everyone should find something for themselves. Each quest can be completed in many ways: usually its diplomacy (character and etiquettes), combat (using weapons and melee combat/magic) or hacking (decking). It is a good idea to connect any combat ability (your character should be able to do something productive on the battlefield) with a specialized character skill. For example, developing deck skill will reward you with a special skill that increases your party members' accuracy. You can't be a specialist in everything, but sometimes it is unwise to waste points on skills you don't need. Check which companions you can add to your party - maybe you shouldn't give your character the same attributes and skills as the ones possessed by another party member?
