.... I want to be a Techno Man! Sorry, I love Macho Man.  I'm looking at being an Elf partially because it's a core race I've never played before, partially because of the Charisma increase that will go a long way to helping my Technomancer.

Of course I'll want to be a hacker of sorts, but I have a deep seeded desire to play one that utilizes Drones, big combat drones like a Steel Lynx.  Without going into a brief background of the character, here are its stats:
Archetype: Technomancer (Stream: Technoshaman)
Name:  Sigil
Race: Elf (male)
Age: Determinable, but likely mid-20s.

Body: 2
Agility: 3
Reaction: 4
Strength: 1 (I know, gimp right? Useless for meh)
Charisma: 6 (Massive!)
Intuition: 5
Logic: 5
Willpower: 5
Edge: 2 (I know, gimp)
Resonance: 5

Skillz: I don't know what all I need, but this is what I've come up with with a little help from other players thus far.

Software: 5 (I want to take Threading as a Specialty, but is that possible?)
Compiling: 4
Registering: 4
Computer: 2 (Do I need it?  I mean, I'm a Technomancer.)
Data Search: 3 (I could put the 2 in Computer to here)
Hardware: 2
Automatics: 2 (I had it at 3, but lowered it to 2 and raised DS to 3 thought of getting rid of this, relying on drones for combat on runs, and adding this 2 to Matrix Combat)
Perception: 2

Complex Forms:  I want a few other forms, but I can probably buy them once this character has been on a few runs (that he survives)

Analyze: 5
Command: 5
Exploit: 5
Stealth: 5
-- I figured the ones above were the most needed for snooping about and tooling with stuff on the Matrix
Spoof: 4
When I need to command something to shut down
Browse: 3
Gotta be able to search, right?
Edit:  3
To cover one's tracks
Shield: 3
To help with defending myself in matrix combat -- A skill I lack!
Smartlink: 1
(Edit):  Forgot to add smartlink 1.
Qualities:
Technomancer: 5
Paragon: 5 (labeled Mentor Spirit until it's added to the list)
-- Chose Daedalus for +2 Hardware Tests and +1 Machine Sprites
Any 35 points in Negative Qualities

I know there is room for improvement.  I have 2 points left over should I be able to take Threading as a Software Specialty.  If not... I have 3 BP left over.... Or 5 if you take away my 15k that I was looking to spend on trying to get a Lynx + transportation + other goodies (I was thinking of taking 'In Debt' to +30BP to help out)

Thanks for any help!

Looks about as good as TMs get.  What makes you scary is not so much your skillz, but your ability to call up sprites at will.  You do need Computer, that's your Matrix Perception (Computer + Analyze)

I like it the way it is-- good question about the Threading spec.
