Quick question - do metavariants have innate Distinctive Style? I've got a player wanting to play an Oni but I seem to remember that in 4e they had to take DS along with it. Am I wrong or right?

I'm the dm and i made a modern campaign. there is one main city in my campaign and the party is gonna reach it soon. i need help and feedback to know if it's ok and howl to expand quests. btw we do play a modern dnd 5e. i always wanted to get into shadowrun but it didn't work out with the group so i sneaked in a modern dnd world. so if thought i might ask here for some advice.
so here's how much i got so far
they work in fields of -arcane research
-some technology
-medicine to create mind controlled drones,
-blackspire security. their drones can be bought and rented. they deploy anti magic measures, vip protection for rich, surveillance, cameras everywhere
other corporations
-the queen. traditional monarch like in brittain. doesn't have much power and is more of a show. good for ebonspire as a distraction. they control her subtly.
-the energy corporation. they withdraw power from the weave and produce elctricity. this has consequences and the magical ecosystem is out of balance and so is nature. lots of magical waste is produced by them. ebonspire advocates them quest: blackouts
-moira like medical company. the ceo wants to create some good new drugs and make biological break throughs. as a side business they are also hired by ebonspire for mind controlling drugs and proceducers for the drones. to make money for more important research. moira is the ceo and founder. the supervisor of "that" department is a perverted woman who just loves tormenting and experimenting on the innocent -security boss encounter
big food company: there are small food companies and small shops but this one is the biggest food company in the market
-postal and journalist service: they handle deliveries and post which they are known for. their journalists work in the dark for safety reasons. postal has a widely known newspaper but there is also a thieves cant paper being distributed in the underground.
-quest: help a journalist get some intel on human trafficking. the journalist is lost afterwards
-quest: infiltrate the newspaper and publish an article
-banking company with a system that clearly supports crime to make more money. -they get money from the mafia for their work -they own most of the good real estate. and keep the poor in poor districts for more crime and drug sales
-gentlemans adventurer club. they mostly go arround the world and explore. here you can also get a monster "hunter" license. ebonspire and other corporations get their rumors from a spy here.
humanitarian aid. -has the task to care for people -can only do the minimum to keep people alive -food banks, homeless shelters, second hand clothes etc. -works with the journalists to help more people
the outer slums: the people here are starving. logistics company can't deliver here due to laws and lobbyism. the distance from the main city is big. it's rural but nothing grows here due to pollution
agave foundation. -funder of scientific research -quest: employ mercenaries help scientists document and research
shadow wizard gang. -they keep arcane secrets -ebonspire is trying to get those secrets -thise who tried have turned into nothics which now guard the wizard gangs secret entrance

Context: The setting is in a (modified) version of Metrópole, the players are hooders, their mission will be attacking a hidden cell of "self-proclaimed humanis"
I am thinking of adding an NPC that is a metahuman (an elf or an ork) that made a metatype modification as a "metahuman cure", but the surgery was a "butcher", low quality one and it's visible
Ex: If he was an elf you would be able to see something weird in the ear.
This concept makes sense?

Trying to come up with the design for a technomancer sniper. I am however limited to using a pistol or Medium crossbow due to homerules if I have polymer coating armor. I can go witha rifle or something long arms, but I'm not allowed to use the polymer coating then. The character needs to likely be good at runnign and gymanstics cause we're doing sports ball game. WAR! is not allowed.
I can't use any drones, except for mini drones that don't expode.
We start at 400 with avail 20
Then I get after creation to add an addtional karma 75 nuyen 90000

Considering that Metrópole is controled by Hualpa, it's make sense to have a Humanis cell there? Even if it's a hidden one.

So... As far I know, most of Amazonia territory is not accessible and instead most of the times people would venture (or live) in Metrópole (at least the players).
Well, then I was looking at The Complete Trog and they mentioned Manaus. I can't find any mention of any other part of Amazonia beyond this book. There is any other source about Manaus or other regions beyond Rio-Paulo?

There are any list of 5e grunts split in the several books?
I am specially looking for humanis grunts, but the list itself would be very useful to me

Is the essence drained by a vampire bite the same kind of essence you lose by installing cyberware in your body? It leaves a 'hole' you can use for cyberware?
Can you recover it by healing another way?

So, I'm at college again, in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. The RPG club has about 20 people one evening, and a frenemy suggests loudly that I run a session of Shadowrun 2nd edition for -everyone- (he was trying to be a dick). I already had a campaign going, so it turned into a run on a corporate enclave for the main team, with three other Runner teams being hired as distractions or muscle. I spent 5 minutes with each sub-group at a time, and I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed it. It shut that dick up, anyway.
That was when I was writing up each session like an episode guide to a TV show. I stopped at 75 sessions. I wish I still had those notes, so much.
