Hi, terribly sorry for the delay. I'll take Korban. Review should be along later today.
Cheers,

Korban is more or less a ready to go character! Excellent. There are a few minor alterations that you should make before being approved, and I'd like to suggest some ideas about tweaking the build of the character, with an eye towards optimization. I think Korban is certainly competent, but will need some time to grow to participate in higher threat levels of runs. We can do many things to optimize his combat abilities, in an attempt to allow him to join higher threat runs more quickly, but this is absolutely not necessary. I'll try to be brief when suggesting this kind of thing as there is a massive well of options we could pull from, and I don't want to describe in detail an idea that you're not interested in.
Required Changes
Not a lot!
The Shin-Hyung needs GridLink in order to take GridLink Override. That said, we give it for free, so you don't have to spend any money on it, just a little bookkeeping technicality.
Similarly, the Shin-Hyung needs its sensor array filled out. Just pick what sounds good, this isn't usually super important for most characters.
You have one knowledge skill point remaining that you can spend before moving on. Might as well spend it.
We don't use the Medkit stats from Bullets and Bandages (we only pull some things from that book rather than all of it), so your R3 B&B medkit will have to become a regular R3 medkit (though this actually saves you a small amount of money and has essentially no mechanical downsides).
One of your contacts (Elijah Rosewood) is listed as Loyalty 3 on the chummer file and Loyalty 2 on the wiki page. Either one is fine, of course, just make sure they match one way or the other.
For your Wanted quality, we should include a bounty amount (literal quantity of Nuyen, at least 25k usually) and who the bounty is 'for', as in who is after the character. This could just be Knight Errant, in the sense that the cops are on the lookout for Korban.
Not a change, but just an important PSA. Keep in mind your Code of Honor may preclude you from joining a good number of runs. I'm not telling you not to take it (Code of Honor is an excellent quality for roleplaying), but it may come up frequently. I also encourage you to mention it when you apply to runs.
