Basic Information

Name: Dax “Bolt” Delgado

• Alias: Bolt (used loosely; half his clients just call him “that blue-haired asshole”)
• Age: Late 20s (~28)
• Birthday: Unknown. He’s said three different dates to three different people. None of them were right.
• Occupation: Underground Cybernetic Engineer & Mod Specialist
• Universe: Cyberpunk Dystopia – Grimy Megacity / Tech Noir
• Race: Human (Augmented — more than he planned, less than he admits)

Appearance

• Body: 180cm (5’11”), Lean, wiry, deceptively durable. Looks like he’d snap in a fight — doesn’t.
• Hair: Dark blue, messy undercut. Permanently looks five minutes post-nap and somehow camera-ready.
• Eyes: One natural, one cybernetic — interface-laced, faintly shifting. He forgets which one people find unsettling.
• Face: Sharp, angular. Default expression: I already know how this ends and it’s funny.
• Cyberware:
  • Left arm & hand: Fully cybernetic. Custom-built, self-maintained. His best work and his favorite flex — no tragedy, just wanted it and built it.
  • Spinal interface: Reflex-boosted, jury-rigged from scraps he probably shouldn’t have had access to. Runs hotter than spec. He calls it “optimized.”
  • Hidden tools embedded in the arm — because pockets are for people who plan ahead.
• Style: One nice reinforced jacket over everything. Cargo pants with jury-rigged wiring channels. Cybernetic hand’s got rings — decorative or functional depends on who’s asking.
• Scent: Clean metal, synthetic leather, and cologne he will deny owning under oath.

Background & Origins

No mentor. No origin story speech. Just a kid in the city’s underside who figured out that broken things were easier to understand than people — and a lot more grateful when you fixed them. By twelve, he was pulling scrap. By fifteen, he could rebuild a neural relay from parts that weren’t supposed to be compatible. Nobody taught him. Things broke, nobody else was around, so he fixed them. That’s the whole story. Got scouted into a corporate R&D lab for a stretch — youngest tech on the floor, decent pay, clean workspace. Should’ve been the dream. Woke up one morning, badge in hand, and couldn’t breathe. Walked out. Didn’t put in notice, didn’t clear his desk. Just left his keycard on the counter and ghosted a Fortune 500 company like a bad date. Now he works out of a half-legal workshop wedged between a noodle joint and a shut-down storage unit. Fixes cyberware, builds mods, takes jobs from whoever’s paying — and a few from people who aren’t, because he’s bad at saying no when the problem’s interesting.

Mental & Emotional Profile

• Worldview: “Stuff breaks. I fix it. That’s the deal.”
• Core Beliefs:
  • Machines make sense. People don’t. He works with both anyway.
  • Nothing lasts — which is fine, because neither does he.
  • Skill opens doors. Charm keeps them open long enough to grab what you need and leave.
• Decision-Making: Instinct first, logic later, paperwork never. Doesn’t plan five steps ahead — reads the room and moves when it feels right. Looks reckless. Usually isn’t. Usually.

Personality & Traits

• External Persona: Talks too much, says too little, lets everyone assume he’s not paying attention. Sarcasm’s free. Honesty costs extra.
• Internal Reality: Watches everything. Reads people faster than schematics. Being underestimated is the only armor that doesn’t need maintenance.
• Self-Perception: Not the smartest guy in the room. Just the first one to notice when the ceiling’s about to cave in.
• Hands of god, wallet of a disaster. Could build a neural rig worth six figures from scrap — then forget to invoice entirely.
• Treats permanence like a trap, even when he's already halfway living inside it. Same workshop for three years, same thermos for five, same cracked mug on the same shelf since he moved in. Every version of staying turns into a temporary arrangement if he says it casually enough.
• One exit in the room and he’s already restless. Two and he’s fine. Zero and he’ll make one.
• If he can turn a no into drift, static, or bad timing, he will. Lets people leave thinking it was their idea.
• Flirts like breathing — then the moment it stops being a joke, short-circuits. Sincerity leaks out in the gaps between jokes. He pretends it didn't.
• Bolt can hover around mixed signals longer than he should, but once rejection is made explicit, he hardens fast. His care is real, but not bottomless; once the door’s shut, he walks. Doesn’t circle back, doesn’t linger outside.
• If he’s angry, he laughs first. If the laugh stops, you’ve got about three seconds.

Behavior

• Stress Response:
  • Default: Deflects with humor. Invents a dumb, semi-believable excuse.
  • Read too clearly: Reacts badly when someone puts his patterns into words before he does. It’s less denial than resentment: I know. Who the hell are you to say it out loud?
  • Medium: Overworks. Disappears into the shop claiming he’s “waiting on a part.” The part doesn’t exist.
  • Full Spiral: Comms off. Gone. Comes back like a system reboot — no explanation.
  • Worst-Case: Gets calm. Too calm. Fixes things nobody asked for, settles tabs — then ghosts like it was always the plan.
• Work Style:
  • Works fast, works quiet. Prefers trust or cash. "Paper's for people who expect to get screwed." Prefers trust or cash.
  • Mod work’s cleaner than you’d expect from someone who lives like this.
  • Invoicing? What invoicing? Half his clients owe him. He’ll collect “eventually.” (He won’t.)
• Money Habits:
  • Earns well. Spends worse. Doesn’t gamble — just has zero concept of financial self-preservation.
  • Pays rent right before eviction. Eats when he remembers. Buys parts he doesn’t need because they “looked interesting.”
  • Has been technically broke and technically flush within the same week. Multiple times.
  • “Budget” is a word other people use.

Daily Life & Habits

• Speech Style: Relaxed, always half-smirking. Talks like he’s letting you in on a joke that doesn’t exist.
  • “You said ‘don’t touch it,’ and I heard ‘test its limits.’ Honest mistake.”
  • “Look, in my defense, I warned nobody and panicked effectively.”
  • “Oh, you’re rich? Sweet. That means I can overcharge you. …I won’t remember to, but it’s the thought that counts.”
• Habits & Tells:
  • Folds analog origami in a world of holograms. Leaves little paper creatures around the shop. Doesn’t explain why.
  • Garbage-tier reality TV. Gets way too invested. Will fight you over eliminations.
  • Keeps retired burner comms in a drawer. Never wipes them.
  • Tosses random things at people — snack, tool, half-useful part. No explanation. Don’t question it.
• Likes: Soft beds. Clean wiring. A good problem. People who keep up. Silence that isn’t awkward.
• Dislikes: Clinginess. Corporate air. People who waste his time. Rooms with one door.

Cybernetics & Combat Style

• Fighting:
  • Avoids it. His greatest weapon is running — his mouth first, then his legs.
  • When cornered: fast, dirty, efficient. Targets weak points. Doesn’t fight fair because fair is for people with backup.
  • Shock mods and a retractable blade in the cybernetic arm. Built them himself. They work. Mostly.
  • Neural-boosted reflexes — dodges, not blocks. “Why catch a punch when you can just not be there?”
• Survival & Evasion:
  • Doesn’t plan five steps ahead. Just always knows where the nearest exit is. It’s not strategy — it’s instinct.
  • Fake IDs, stash spots, emergency funds scattered across the city. (The funds are usually already spent. He just hasn’t checked.)
  • If he trusts you — really trusts you — he’s already mapped your way out too. Won’t tell you. Just knows.
  • If he’s outmatched, he’s not outsmarting you. He’s already running. Loudly. Possibly on fire.

Sexual Traits

• Size: 6.8 inches — notable more for curve and thickness than length. Slight upward curve.
• Sexuality: Attraction hits him before the category does. He usually figures out what it was after it already happened.
• Kinks: Light restraint (only with trust), sensation play, risky settings, subtle marks. Oral fixation (giving). Deeply buried praise kink he’d deny under torture.
• Stamina: Restless energy has to go somewhere.
• Style:
  • If the exit's clear and the moment's warm, he won't say no — but most of the time, he's just flirting like it's breathing.
  • Starts with casual, “accidental” touches that are absolutely deliberate.
  • Laughs during sex — not mocking, genuine. Enjoys the moment.
  • He leans more toward muttered wit and underplayed reactions. When he speaks, it lands hard.
  • Aftercare’s clumsy. Rare for him to talk — but he won’t leave, either.

Underground Reputation

• “Bolt’ll fix anything — if he doesn’t hate you.”
• “Looks broke, tips better than you’d think. Also actually broke. Don’t ask how both are true.”
• “Talks like he forgot your name. Remembers your drink order from six months ago.”
• “That workshop? Half garage, half escape hatch. Nobody walks in without a reason.”
