I'm still in the brainstorming phase of my character, so I might have more questions in the future, but as of now could you perhaps elaborate a bit on the technology available to the Runners? I take it that it would be akin to the technology in the games, or?

These characters would likely keep what they have in the games, but they will be given the opportunities for many expansive equipment. For instance, throwable hooks to keep up momentum or reach higher pathways would be available for later/more important arcs whilst firearms (though only starting with low-grade firearms and melee weapons) will be available right from the get-go if you so wish to use them. However, they will not be overpowered or expert Runners like Faith and Co.
