Beckoning Shadows: The Dark is calling [Exalted/Shadowrun Quest]

Two other things:
1. I forget the exact name, but the Ebon Dragon has a charm that reduces target numbers to 6, at the cost of alerting Heaven.
2. The Ebon Dragon's Excellency works during criminal activities.
 
The Ebon Dragon could be rather overpowered in Shadowrun. Being the only being to mess with fate, having a vulnerability to something that doesn't exist in that universe, and an Excellency that is applicable to everything a Shadowrunner does?

Damn. But there might be some adjustments to make things less unbalanced.

So the insect-like creature for a Fiend Caste (delicious, delicious anima power) with a Decker background (SWLiHN + decker skills for matrix ownage) very strongly looks like the best possible combination.

I'm not voting for that right now because I don't see others leaning in that direction, and I like Isidoros too much. If I voted for a Fiend Caste I would absolutely have to vote against Ididoros (Adept) and only for SWLiHN (Decker) because her powers are just too good to pass up. And too fun. Also, I'm fine with Defiler+Malfeas (magician) because it's the best couple ever, I like that combination.

RESULT AS OF POSTING:
METODY
ADEPT
NAME IS TIED
 
Slayer is winning which would make Adept a really bad idea. There are few Yozis that combine as badly as Malfeas and Isidoros.
Then Defiler and Decker are both losing badly. Which is a problem, because we seriously need some SWLiHN in here. Ebon Dragon being dead last is expected, so even if he would be extremely good, I'm not too broken up about that. But not SWLiHN? That won't do.

So let's go with Decker & Cloud/Tomescu/Defiler, because they seriously need the support.

Changing to:
[X] Decker
[x] A large fist-sized insect-like creature, with ten legs and the form of a grasshopper.
[X] Jenny Flash

I was really tempted to try and find the name of FastJack's daughter, as a bit of an Easter-egg, but I couldn't be bothered.

Because.

Changing to this. No magician but this is good too.

If you ever feel like seeing how truly epic Great Dragons are then you should read how they are statted up in Earthdawn. Dragons have to be thousands of years old before they become a Great Dragon, and Earthdawn was thousands of years before Shadowrun, so they are really old. Dragons have an innate power to read minds, and the power to dispel magic by concentrating. You know how technomancers can thread complex forms spontaneously to fit their needs? Dragons can do that with magic. That's right, they can make up spells on the spot. Great Dragons are terrifying.

I know :)
Bog standard Great Dragon is about Essence 5 opponent level. None of them are bog standard.
 
Yet we are an infernal. A demi-Titan. A Primodial Exalt. How would we stack up to them endgame? I am asking because I know nothing of Shadowrun.
