Character sheets from past games: Shadowrun

This is a character sheet for Shadowrun that I found in my three-ringed binder containing my old character sheets that I had discovered in a storage box. In my previous character sheet entries I posted characters from Dungeons and Dragons, the FASA Doctor Who RPG, Cyberpunk, Vampire: The Masquerade, WEG Star Wars and the Star Trek RPG by FASA.

I don’t recall much about this Shadowrun character. It is possible this could have been our mysterious missile shooter. I do know that the name Hammerstat was found on a list of customers at one of my previous occupations. I thought the name sounded very manly and could be used for a tough character. I know that I drew the character image myself.
