Cyberpunk 2087: The new runners (Freeform Cyberpunk Adventure)(Closed for now)

Ah ok, I thought with his augs locked up he had a different role. My bad for misreading.

Still another solo couldn't hurt.

I can't remember is Solo what some other game calls Street Samurai?

[Wilderness Soul]

They are the combat oriented characters. The gun monkeys, tanks, and yes Street Samurai as opposed to the smart oriented Netrunners and charisma oriented Rockerboys.

He's not the most effective of Solos these days, and while he's good with a gun isn't the most ballistic either. He relies on misdirection and infiltration... so I guess he could be seen as more covert ops.

Character Sheet

Name: Maya Sokolova

Alias(es): Cipher

Role: Private Investigator

Age: 40

Sex: Female

Height: 5'6"

Hair: Long, dark brown

Eyes: Green

Brief:

Maya Sokolova's story begins with her family's journey from the USSR to the neon-lit streets of Night City. Her parents, seeking a better life in the Free State of Northern California, left their homeland behind during the tumultuous years of the Soviet Union's dissolution. Maya grew up in a household filled with stories of the old world, steeped in a mix of Russian traditions and the gritty reality of urban life.

As a young girl, Maya was known for her tomboyish nature. She wasn't interested in dolls or dresses; instead, she gravitated toward action figures and video games. Her rebellious spirit and sharp intellect were evident from an early age, traits that would serve her well in the years to come.

Upon reaching adulthood, Maya decided to follow in her family's tradition of seeking justice and joined the Night City Police Department. She excelled in her training and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually becoming a detective. Maya's no-nonsense approach to her work, combined with her relentless pursuit of the truth, earned her the respect of her colleagues.

Maya's career took a dramatic turn when she stumbled upon a high-profile case involving an influential corpo. The evidence pointed to a heinous crime, and Maya was determined to bring the perpetrator to justice. However, she soon found herself caught in the web of corruption that extended deep into the heart of the Night City power structure.

Refusing to compromise her principles, Maya refused to cover up the corpo's crimes, even in the face of threats and pressure from her superiors. This decision ultimately led to her dismissal from the police force. Her departure from the NCPD marked a turning point in Maya's life.

Unwilling to let the truth remain buried, Maya decided to become a private investigator. Armed with her detective skills, cyberware enhancements, and a fierce determination to uncover the darkest secrets of Night City, Maya now operates as a freelance PI. She takes on cases that others won't touch, seeking justice for those who can't find it within the corrupt systems of the city.

Dream: Maya dreams of a Night City where justice prevails over corporate interests and where the downtrodden and marginalized have a chance at a better life. Her ultimate dream is to expose the corruption that plagues the city's core and bring about meaningful change.

Duty: Maya considers it her duty to stand up for the voiceless and to seek justice for those who cannot find it within the city's corrupt systems. She is driven by a duty to honor her family's legacy of seeking truth and fairness, even if it means putting herself in grave danger.

Fracture: Maya's fracture is her expulsion from the Night City Police Department, a place she once believed in wholeheartedly. Being kicked out for refusing to cover up a high-ranking corpo's crime shattered her trust in the system and left her with a deep sense of betrayal.

Fear: Maya's greatest fear is that she will be unable to bring about the change she seeks in Night City, that the corrupt forces she opposes will prove too powerful to overcome, and that her pursuit of justice will lead to her own demise.

Cyberware:

Her original implants had been returned to the NCPD, so she had to use her savings to acquire some new ones.

    Cyberoptics with Enhanced Scanning: Equipped with low-light vision, thermal vision, and optical zoom for investigative work.
    Neural Cyberdeck: A high-level neural cyberdeck for hacking and data analysis.
    Biometric Analyzer: Allows Maya to identify individuals and access restricted areas using biometric data.

Character looks good, however the amount of Cyberware she currently has is an issue. The group has a limit of 3 major cyber enhancements. This is to provide a sense of beginning to each character as they are at the bottom of the rung Edgerunner wise. Some had their implants removed after they were forced from their jobs, locked out via software, etc. So you'll need to adjust what you want to keep.

[Wilderness Soul]

Hmm yup, gonna keep Xerxes's life as a cyberware ripper, smuggler, and back alley medical Doctor a secret from her lol.

Sure thing, will reduce them later today...

[shroom]

If she got that cyber from NCPD, there would be no WAY they wouldn't reclaim it after her dismissal.

Edited, hope it is better now?
