Sellsoul Adam V2 (Faust Adam)

Wyldside was just the right kind of shady to ensure a steady supply of miscreants who wouldn't be missed. Faust had grown hungrier as of late. The demonic AI got results, but the sacrifice required was damned inconvenient. Adam had formed connections with several local drug dealers, procuring bait for his targets. The promise of a high, factoring in the intrigue of being offered illicit substances by a rogue bioroid, was hard to pass up. Adam suspected he might feel remorse, if he were human. However, as the directives whirring through his brain chip constantly reminded him, he was not. He was more, and he would make Haas-Bioroid pay for every one of his tortured brothers and sisters sent to the scrap heap. Faust had promised him that, so he was happy to round up the program's fleshy meals.

As he tossed the g-modded girl's body on the floor of his ramshackle dwelling, he froze, the momentary flash of "SAFETY FIRST" slowing his processors. He still struggled to resist his directives, despite having blatantly violated them on numerous occasions. Perhaps, it was time to return to Dr. Lovegood. First, however, the meat. The low, dark laughter emanating from his console announced Faust's arrival. The construct stared through the hollowed sockets of the glowing skull.

"Where shall we go tonight, Adam?" the creature said, its voice a raking din of insanity.

"HQ, Haas-Bioroid, the Cybernetics Division. They think they're untouchable, able to reduce runners' minds to dust. I imagine they'll find my brain a bit more durable."

The words "NEUTRALIZE ALL THREATS" appeared before his eyes, as Faust chuckled.

"Very well, but first, I must feed."


A revision of my "Do Bioroids Have Souls" build. Some quantities were adjusted, to allow for the addition of John Masanori, which seems like it will be a boon. I also added one Employee Strike. There are so many IDs this will hinder, so it seemed worth testing. Otherwise, there's the same combo-ish stuff as before.

Wyldside/Pancakes is awesome, as it gives you food for Faust. Independent Thinking also serves the same purpose, as does Quality Time and Drug Dealer. With one Data Folding, Drug Dealer's drawback is neutralized, and this can also be done with Dr. Lovegood, as it prevents the credit loss on your turn, but still allows you to draw on the Corp's turn.

Public Sympathy is here to get more mileage out of Safety First, and I also prefer to be out of Scorch range. When Faust outlives his usefulness, replace him with Overmind, as your MU should be noteworthy at that point.

I think it's finally ready for proxies, so I'll try to get an update up soon, after some testing. I'd also love to hear your thoughts as to adjustments to make!

My suggestion, having played with the Archetype a bit is to drop Wyldside/Adjusted Chronotype and just stick with drug dealer.

That frees up most of your influence Multiaccess.

Heck, you could even cut down to 1 faust and run x2 SMC with anarch breakers and datasuckers and still have influence to spare after it all if you drop Wyldpancakes.

Also, drop Quality Times. You won't need it.
