 Somewhere between Pink Mohawk and Black Trenchcoat - it's also a bit up for discussion. Personally I take inspiration from series like 'Burn Notice' and 'Leverage', especially for the more social aspects, but in the end, it's still Cyberpunk and sticking it to the man can be a great motivator, so if the characters start out a bit rough around the edges that's preferable over polished professionals without any emotions.
+Shadowrunning is a job, but your life is not (only) your job. Of course there will be runs, but characters should also chase their own goals, have their own problems, friends, enemies, etc. and all the stories that come from that.
 Reputation & Street cred will be an important factor and knowing who's who in the streets never hurts. Connections will also play an important role and it's assumed that the characters will pick up quite a few on their few (as well as enemies).
