Cyberpunk

David Martinez A street kid from Santo Domingo with raw talent, quick instincts, and a stubborn streak. After a tragedy, he gets military-grade cyberware (the Sandevistan) implanted, catapulting him into the violent world of merc work. Charismatic, driven, and sometimes reckless, he struggles to balance loyalty with survival.

Lucy (Lucyna Kushinada)

A mysterious Netrunner with white hair and a calm, aloof demeanor. Skilled in deep dives into the Net, she hides a traumatic past connected to the megacorporation Arasaka. She’s fiercely independent but grows close to David.

Maine

The original leader of the Edgerunners crew. A towering Solo with extensive cybernetic augmentation, known for his physical power and commanding presence. Values loyalty and the team’s code but suffers from cyberpsychosis as his body and mind reach their limits.

Dorio

Maine’s right hand and partner, both in combat and in life. Strong, capable, and grounded, she keeps the crew focused and supports Maine through his decline. Often the voice of reason during missions.

Kiwi

The crew’s primary Netrunner before Lucy takes on a bigger role. Cool, detached, and pragmatic, Kiwi prefers to keep her emotional distance. Known for her precision and reliability — but also for making self-serving choices.

Rebecca

A short, hyperactive, and unpredictable Solo with a love for guns, violence, and chaos. Loyal to those she considers friends, especially David, but quick to start trouble. Her over-the-top personality and small frame make her both comical and dangerous.

Pilar

Rebecca’s older brother, a loudmouth techie with a knack for mechanical work. Flamboyant and sarcastic, he’s less combat-oriented but useful for modifications and maintenance.

Falco

The crew’s wheelman. Calm, collected, and professional, Falco is a skilled getaway driver who prefers to avoid unnecessary risks. Known for keeping his cool even when things go sideways.

Supporting CharactersGloria Martinez

David’s mother, an EMT struggling to provide for them both. Her death early in the story sets David’s descent into the criminal underworld in motion.

Faraday

A slick, manipulative fixer with deep corporate ties. Works with multiple crews but always keeps his own interests first. Known for his charm and his ruthlessness.

Jimmy Kurosaki

A braindance editor with a sadistic streak, producing content from the deaths and suffering of others. Arrogant, flashy, and cruel.

Tanaka

A high-ranking Arasaka executive who becomes entangled with David’s crew. Represents the corporate elite’s corruption and disregard for human lives.

Ripperdoc (Doc)

A cyberware specialist who works with David. Keeps his shop open for business but prefers to avoid getting tangled in street politics.

Julio

A rookie mercenary introduced later in the series. Looks up to David but lacks experience in the dangerous world of Night City jobs.

Notable Side FiguresRipperdocs & Street Contacts
