Please some input

How many points are you using, and you may want to list the base attributes for nosferatu, and the additional qualities.

Actually looks really mediocre considering how powerful specialized Nos can be. Despite decent all around attributes most of your dice pools are meh for a runner, even a starting one. You are probably better off with SURGEing a metahuman to give it Nosferatu like traits. Now you can spend more BP in other areas and don't have to worry about the party just selling you for the bounty the moment they found out you arent all that useful. Plus to the casual observer you can still appear to be a Nosferatu if you want story hooks about people trying to hunt you down.

But surging, is not in the spirit of the character. It is not enough to look like one, but to be one. Limitations aside, it is possible to make what he wants, it just takes creativity with the rules. That's the beauty of these games, all the little loop holes.

My one and only question for our Host, who is so graciously letting us joust our ideas about. Was it the nosferatu you wanted, more like the older idea's of dracula, generally ugly as hell. Or the vampire, which can at times be more or less normal looking, but in fact, is not.

Ugly as hell.
In fact, I was surprised to see in the book about the Charisma boost, being that he is a bald, ugly piece of work. Then again, it might be more of a talking thing rather than the looks.

As for his skills.. Well, Its not that I did not want him to be super powerful. In fact, trying to 'specialize' in a skill was near impossible. Even taking consideration for a second on how I got -35 BP for neg qualities, getting decent equipment was difficult e with the Yen count. And that even getting decent scores with his attributes had to be reduced all the way to 120 (but I think it works nicely, being that most people with fighter/range normally have low str or body)

I might scrap this guy, this was more of a experimental sheet than anything XD I just got excited about getting runner comp.

You give up far too easily. Think along the lines of a nosferatu, a person infected with a disease that has run its course, withering away your physical well being, but giving you so much more. You don't kill with your hands. Why bother, these people are cattle to you? Kill with your voice, with decent enough stats, you could walk into a room and tell a man that when you leave the room, he is to stop breathing until he is dead. He would have no other choice than to do what you say.

If you're caught up in combat, enthral one of the enemies to start killing his cohorts, or simply feed and use the essence gain to ramp up your own abilites and carve a bloody path through them. Why not? you are timeless, age, disease, famine, mean nothing to you. Stop thinking like jet li, that you're going to waltz in and spin kick them to death, and start thinking like an angel of death, one who commands life itself.

Okay. Now I thought of this:
