[OOC]Someone posted these on the shadowrun subreddit a couple of days ago, there's one for every role. No idea who the original creator was so I can't give them credit.
I would recommend the beginning arcology podcasts. Technomnacers are deckers with an additional layer on top of them.
I have a folder with some characters I've made up.

Valkyrie is a rigger if you wanna peak. Heimdal is a decker. Just hit me up
Posting interest, will have sheet soon.
EDIT 1: Sheet mathmatically done, trying to find pdf sheet to hand-jam info over to. EDIT 2: Here's the sheet you PDF'd up for me in HL. Below the link for it is the Excel sheet for the car.

Dazzler, GMT/UTC +2 (flexible schedule).
Magical support/Face. I've played 4th edition, but this is my first 5th ed. char and my first mage.
Inspired by his spiritual and magical experiences and filled with the anger of youth he left Portland for Seattle to pursue a career as a musician with his fathers old guitar and his illusions. However, an independent artists life earns you very little...
GMT +1 timezone
I built a technomancer / face. But I can build anything that there are shortages of.
Edit: Everyone is welcome to point out any errors or stupidity they can find.
[RIGGER WARNING]
time zone UTC -5
available friday, saturday, sunday (monday-thursday are questionable as i work tens on second shift but my unavailability on those days is 2pm-2am)
i have played a fairly light campaign with some people so far but willing to dive in
here is current character https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2aDQqt7Op8BeGNSdVh1Ym1jWXc/edit?usp=sharing user-somesonofabitch >runner-Rico Kalgash
I made a decker! If anyone wants to give me feedback on how to tweak it, feel free - I'm rather infamous for creating horribly underpowered characters, plus it's possible I did something illegal somewhere. (For a start I have 7 karma and 155 nuyen left to play with, not 0 and 16155...)

Hey, Omae! I know I'm a GM (and a mod) but i'd still like to catch a bit more running experience before I slap up a run of my own. Okay?
Elven Ninja/Samurai "Ronin"- https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5ZgA5Wp9qVYOHpkYzYxVGhWTDg&usp=sharing
My toon is already in the Google Drive, but I'll go ahead and post it here for standardization reasons.
Longarm, UTC-6
Gunslinger Adept/Combat Tactician (played twice, but this is the chargen sheet)
Ex-KE, really good with every type of firearms but specialized in Longarms and Grenade Launchers, experienced in Small Unit Tactics and good at playing chess with his team on the battlefield.
Hi. I'm interested in running for you.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxkHhay2DgDZbnl0aUJORzZUQVU/edit?usp=sharing
Name is Jeremy. He's a decker with a bit of explosives expert and charisma thrown in there. He so far has compelted one other run on this subreddit. Thanks!
Are chummer files still ok? Here is the chummer file. If you guys need a PDF I can make one up but it will take me a little more time. My character is a street sam/face. Really high sword skills and decent pistols with a high charisma and influence skills.
EDIT:PDF version is up
hey, i remade my character in chummer just to be sure i'd gotten things kind of close to right... some modifications were necessary.
here is the updated character, sorry for any inconvenience https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2aDQqt7Op8BTkFiZnZMNXFUSk0/edit?usp=sharing
I uploaded a new version - spent the available contact points, bought knowledge skills cos apparently I previously forgot to, and got Chummer to convert to career (4d6+1 for resources and I rolled two fives, a four, and a two. How gloriously average :D) https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8uUpx0rXzTjSU5OOXhiVnVfUTA/edit?usp=sharing
I'll go upload it to the Drive meself to save time...
I'm interested in running for you, as long as the pay is good

Alexander is a decker/Explosives expert with mob ties. He's had a bad run in with a hostage situation and now half his face is cyber'd ( Think Terminator )
EDIT: Link is now different, you should be able to view the character easier.
Here's my guy. I'll take suggestions as to better names—something that gives a sense of the fact that he's basically a construction worker turned sammy.

I'm completely new, so any tips on how to do an online game are appreciated. Do I need to keep a document open to track relevant information? Use an online dice roller? Teamspeak shouldn't be an issue—it's been a while, but I've used it before.
"Quiet? I can do quiet, but I need quiet. Need quiet. I suspect this will not put me on camera!"
(( "Human" Ork Poser Cybernetic Beastman Street Sam - forte is stealth and sneaking through the undesireable places. Fairly brushed up on the rules for him now. Favourite hobby is contemplating life through gangster style philosophy. Yes, Zaroff and Chimaera are getting married this saturday. Because, all relationships should be created by Aqua Vitae))
Edit: Also applying due to promises of rocks dropping on head.
Any special skills? Man, I can breathe underwater and climb through the worst recesses of humanity's bowel movements!
(Human Cybernetic Beastman - combatant/stealth. The skill I have not used yet is exotic ranged weapon - flame tosser which is provided by skill wires [Listed in notes section]. IC reason for flame tosser is due to his background - he used it excessively when he was a Halloweener - he wanted to stand out as part of the crazy crowd)
You can use this converter

It unfortunately doesn't work well on my phone so can't do it for you sorry. I think your off by quite a bit. 6pm UTC+0 is 7pm British summer time so I think you guys are about 2pm maybe? Probably wrong so best check using that site.
I believe, if I am not mistaken, this is a situation where the precedent was set in the 4 previous editions. While Shadowrun 5th, is terribly edited and maybe not as well play tested as it should have been heavy weapons and longarms have traditionally been two handed weapons. I believe its specifically intended to prevent people from saying, "Uuuuh, I wanna use two heavy machine guns. I r troll."

"Yo, littlest dude, give me some tasks to perform because my boredom is gettin' me into major trouble!"
(Human "Cybernetic Beastman" now turned Ork Poser! Combat & Stealth. Favourite candy bar would be an old fashioned charleston chew - because it gets stuck in his fangs and he gets hours of extra flavour value per nuyen. Last run was "Love Love - Metahuman High" ran by N0tB0b using Chimaera - where the character submitted a picture of a poorly drawn monkey, got kidnapped and emergency surgery to perform the Ork role!)
[Note: Chimaera will have to recover from Physical damage on the run on October 4th (October 3rd my time zone), just to let the GM know ahead of time. It will come out to about about 4 days rest]
"Somehow, I think this is a lead up to my future movie stardom. I can't wait to see what bad situations this little dude gets me in."

(Human Cybernetic Beastman - Stealth/Combat. 5 Career Karma, relatively new runner with only one run so far)
"What's Texas? I never been out of Seattle... Is Texas in Africa? Count me in for international travel!"
(Human Cybernetic Beastman - Combat/Stealth. Able to survive in a variety of harsher environments. Never left Seattle and has no knowledge of the lands outside the city)
I'm a wet work type of guy - who cares if the Johnson treats me like drek.
(Human Cybernetic Beastman. 5 Career Karma. Last Run on September 25th)
~~Crawling out of the river, Chimaera had a wild self drinking binge last night. And whereas others recommend drinking water, protein and sleep, Chim went with the classic cool off technique: go for an underwater walk for a few hours.~~
~~Heading back into the homestead, his lack of awareness caused him to be surprised by the loud buzzing of his comm. Suddenly performing a back flip and shooting a web to hang upside down, he mumbles before answering his comm: "Yeah... wetwork and sabotage... I need to do that tonight..." He starts sleeping upside down.~~
~~* Chimaera~~
~~(Human Cybernetic Beastman - stealth/muscle)~~
[Have to withdraw from this one - work is going to be a blast tonight]
I'm a striker and mercs are not all different than the gangs.
( Human Cybernetic Beastman. Role on last run was technically infiltrator. Able to function as muscle and stealth. With his cyber, very environmentally adaptable. PC only has gang war experience, no formal military experience)
Ahem
There is no video nor representation of the individual itself. Only submission is this childish picture .
(Human Cybernetic Beastman. Stealth/Combat. Yes, he drew a monkey-thing to submit for the audition to stand out from the crowd and hide the fact he's human applying for another metahuman position).
"I'm in." Turns comm off
Another trid like run? I'm not a runner anymore, I'm going to become a budding director.
(Human Cybernetic Beastman. Combatant/Stealth. Already inspired a cybered up chihuahua for a new action trid)
If there's no clowns, I'm in.
(Cybernetic Beastman. Role: Going to the most undesireable places in Meat Space. Stealth/Muscle. 5 Career Karma)
"Sounds like poor judgement and a nut case to grab this job..."

Need someone who wields a chainsaw and sometimes other weapons? Sawyer is the occasionally drugged out girl for you!
First timer who made her for a one shot full pink mohawk session and found her quite fun to use.
"“Give, even if you only have a little.” I will be glad to help with your problems"
((new character, kind giant kinda troll adept))
Helping to help is just as honourable as helping oneself, I'm in
((Burnout Adept, kind giant kinda guy))
"Since I'm as mundane as a non-awakened potato, I suppose you know some way that I will actually meet Mr. J? In that case I'm in "
((Elf Decker))
Well then I'll just be extra carefull amico. What details do you have?
((Decker, he actually was raised and trained by the Mafia but ran away and got the nanobomb-implantat in his head to prove it))
FooBar: "Ugh, Charity? That doesn't pay my bills Amico"
Pointer: "Sure, but you can use some street cred, you are still the newb of the newbs of Seattle and this seemes right down your alley"
FooBar: "Drek you don't have to be so direct about it... Ah frag I'll do it"
((FooBar is a young ex-mafia Decker and pretty new in town))
"Nice to hear that I got recomended and I certainly could use the Cash, so yeah I'm pretty interested"
((Decker and I'm relatively inexpierienced (a few games under my belts but second run on the hub), and I would never disapoint our friend ~~Computer~~ GM by not having !FUN!))
As a fellow ignorant American, I have no idea how it works either ;) All I know about UTC is that the /r/shadowsea team decided that's how we should timestamp runs for consistency.
According to this map, Eastern Time is -4 from UTC+0, so it would read "8/14 run, starts between 18:00 and 20:00 UTC", as best as I could figure :)
Sounds interesting, I can keep the matrix clear for you
((Ex-Mafia Decker, better at sneaking in than fighting directly but not too bad at shooting if he has to. Would be my first Run on the Hub))

Dreck Pointer, did you see the news?
I know what its like to have a bomb in your head, but to get one voluntarily just to blow up some poor bastards? ...Sickos. Would love to help put a stop to them. I don't suppose you know with whom to talk about this?
((Decker with a little pewpew. Got a bomb implanted by the Mafia to stop him from running away (which didn't work). I'm not fluid with all the rules jet but I think I got the important parts down))
I don't work for scraps, but if the pay is Okay I can be his Decker! Can't wait to get working
"Messing up Humanis AND getting paid for it? Count me in!"
((FooBar is a Decker and looking for his first run. He dislikes Humanis and similiar groups but has not much of a strong opinion of them. Indifferent of the infected))
New in town, looking for a pay check. I'm your man for this run.

While interpersonal negotiation is not my primary skillset, I suspect his needs are of a more direct nature.
((Razor Rigger with a solid tech skillset))
Otlichno, a return to typical operations.
((Razor Rigger, a getaway driver/drone support character with 22 armour, 16 dice pool machine pistols, and a smuggling compartment for keeping said pistols on the D-L.))
Otlichno. Twenty-five thousand Nuyen would considerably advance my fiscal objectives.
((Razor Rigger who likes to back his drones up with a big cyborg arm and plenty of chip. Solid technical skills and an implanted medkit to round out the bargain. Player's an old Pen+Paper hand who knows the system))
Ah, auxilliary tactics, a consistently prudent precaution. Is the colloquialism not "The worst planners had best hope"?

As to learning IRC, I suggest checking out the link below.
What was recommended to me, and is working well, is this little guy. http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp
Just install that, then when you go to print, just select "cutewriter" and it creates a pdf of whatever you're printing.
if you have a PDF printer driver installed on your system (via Adobe Acrobat, or a third party driver; I've been using DoPDF with some success), you can print it to a PDF file (print, then select PDF as your printer), then put it on a service like Google Docs to share. If you do so, make sure you have permissions set to "anyone with link can view".
Mike stands up from the bed, disentangling himself from it's other occupant, some girl from the club the night before, and heads out to the balcony. He lounges in the sun of this crisp Seattle morning, and pulls out a well worn paper copy of The Art of War that his mentor had insisted was relevant to running the shadows. Engrossed, he ignores the text from one of his Fixers, and finishes the chapter he is on.
((Mike is a Face and entirely Black Trenchcoat, he has a lot of other utility in BT, and if words fail can negotiate with lead.))
Arielle looks at the paper airplane as it flies off and takes a good mental note about the job and location. She tells her fixer Percy, "Looks like I got a job lead, we'll see what this one means"
((0 PK, never, B&E, Dodgy, Bullet Sponge, I know this character, longtime SR player (since 1st), just new to the hub, Looking for some Ripped Fuel! She was looking forward to a five hour extended workout at the gym, but a job prospect is better.))
Heh. Makes sense. I tried to bodge together something in python that sort of worked, but I eventually finished up using Cyberdeck Aid on my phone instead.
There is also a nice one for Spirits as well, I'll see if I can find the link.
Edit: Found it Spirits SR5
