Idea's for Criminal Identities

By Spiffy_King, in Android: Netrunner The Card Game

I've been thinking with the addition of Reina Roja there will only be two criminal Identities. I had a few ideas for some criminal identities.

Name: Sidewinder

Description: Former Spec Ops

Faction: Criminal

Identity: Cyborg

Links: 0

Card Min: 45

Influence Limit: 15

Power: Once per run, after bypassing an ice, you may continue the run on an adjacent server starting from the same position (counting inwards) ignoring previous ice.

Flavor Text: "The first mistake was playing fair"

Name: Asha Shikari

Description: Underworld Boss

Faction: Criminal

Identity: Natural

Links: 2

Card Min: 45

Influence Limit: 15

Power: 2 Recurring Credits = Use these credits only for connections.

Flavor Text: "I've got people"

I like the flavour of Shikari, but I worry that 2 Link is too high - it immediately neuters a LOT of trace cards hard.

I like the second one too but I'm pretty new to this edition of Netrunner so I can't say whether it's too powerful or not. It doesn't sound like it but if it is what about jacking her influence so it's like 50/10 or something to balance it? The first one though, even to me, sends all kinds of ideas through my head especially involving Inside Job so that's a good thing but my instinct says that when I get that feeling so easily it might be TOO good. Great flavor stuff and names on both identies though!
