Coop, V, Cyberpunk 2077
PLAYER
Preferred pronoun(s): he/him

CHARACTER
Canon: Cyberpunk 2077
Canon point: While in Mikoshi before any decision is made
Age: 28
Summary: cw: sex trafficking mention, underage drinking
V is a tired, depressed mercenary who has PTSD and so much trauma. He has a lot of contradictory traits to him that developed in response to trauma and, as such, can act erratically or irrationally. He prefers to keep people at arm's length and keep relationships shallow, though he will keep a very personable front (as long as the other person isn't being an ass) and do his best to learn all he can about the other so he can blackmail them later (if necessary).
V's trauma comes from his childhood of growing up in the streets: he was born to a homeless single mother who had to be gone long hours working to have enough money to feed him, and he started stealing at 5 or so to ensure they had enough food for mom to eat. Mom died when he was ten, then a father-figure he had died when he was 14. From there he started drinking and working to survive. V has an extreme fear of abandonment because of this, which is part of why he keeps people at arm's length and works so hard not to let people close to him. This was further reinforced - and poisoned into a genuine belief that people don't care for him - when he was 19 and his first lover backstabbed him with trying to sell him into a sex trafficking ring.
After that betrayal he mostly just worked - he worked his ass off to get smart and learn all he had, really throwing his everything into the idea that if he worked hard enough he could have enough money to buy enough security he could finally feel safe. Somehow, at the end of it all, with all of the walls that V had built, the smallest piece of him that had hope and love and loyalty survived and ultimately if someone bothers to bear with him and climb all his walls they will find the sweetest, kindest, most loving, and loyal man they could possibly hope to meet.
Powers/abilities: Cyberware
The super duper tl;dr - he has a lot of cyberware that improves his reaction time by a considerable amount, he heals 2x as fast as a normal person, his eyes can scan and tell him information about what's around him (living being, explosive item, probably a good place to hide a body, item on a computer network) as well as zoom in some so he can see things from further away. Also his arms turn into swords and he can double jump (idk how that works physically but that's what it is in game so okay). Last thing I promise he has a phone implanted in his head
In addition, he's incredibly good with computers and networks. Hacking - software, hardware, network infrastructure - is genuinely his specialty and what he is good at. Outside of computers he is an excellent shot and driver.
Quickhacks are basically op wizard spells in the game and (esp given the fact I built him as a netrunner intentionally) I typically consider them worthless in game environment because they are specifically meant to damage people with cyberware and cybersystems like in Cyberpunk 2077 - I generally assume it doesn't translate.
Inventory: Clothes on his back (favorite outfit + Johnny's jacket), Archangel (Kerry's Gun), Malorian 3516 (Johnny's gun), gravity knife, the necklace made from the bullet that was shoved into his head by Dex
OTHER
Gemstone: hot pink and navy blue (like him hair :>)
Lost memory #1: his first lover that backstabbed him :) - This will make him a lot more willing to form relationships with others. He won't be completely cured of his fear of abandonment, especially considering how many people he's still lost, but he won't immediately assume people are there to just use him either.
Lost memory #2: he doesn't remember his romantic relationship with Kerry - Takes much of the sting out of ending up here, especially considering the altered memory. It also reinforces the idea that he just works his ass off forever.
Altered memory: In Mikoshi Alt Cunningham tells V that she had forgotten that human bodies exist and no matter what V does he will die - if he goes back to the body he will degrade until he's dead, or he could go with Alt and be assimilated into some super AI. What is changing is that he will believe that Alt told him that if he goes back to the body he will be 100% okay and happy and live a very long life. When V is told that he will die regardless of what he chooses that breaks something in him and he loses hope and finally gives up, so changing his memory will make him annoyed? But he will not be a completely broken man.
Sample: Austice TDM Cursed where he's a little brat :V
