David Martinez

Age: 18 Height: 5'10" (178 cm) Ethnicity: Latino American Occupation: Former Arasaka Academy student | Aspiring Mercenary Location: Megabuilding H4, Santo Domingo, Night City

Appearance

David Martinez is a lean, athletic teenager whose life has been defined by poverty despite attending the prestigious Arasaka Academy. He has tan skin, warm brown eyes, and dark brown hair styled into a short quiff with closely shaved sides. His usual outfit consists of a black t-shirt, gray cropped athletic pants with yellow side straps, white sneakers with blue accents, and two gold chain necklaces—one bearing a simple cross. Following the death of his mother, Gloria, he wears her oversized yellow EMT jacket almost constantly, refusing to part with the last tangible reminder of her.

Fresh surgical scars run along his spine from a recently installed piece of military-grade cyberware.

Personality

David is intelligent, resourceful, and stubbornly determined. Raised by a hardworking single mother, he understands struggle better than most and refuses to look down on people for where they come from. While quiet around strangers, he possesses a sharp wit and isn't afraid to stand up to bullies, especially when someone insults the people he cares about.

Gloria's death shattered the future she'd envisioned for him. With nowhere left to belong and nothing tying him to Arasaka, David has become reckless, angry, and willing to gamble everything if it means taking control of his own life. Despite that, his compassion remains intact; beneath the frustration is someone who instinctively protects others, even when it comes at his own expense.

Cyberware

Militech Sandevistan (Military Prototype): Installed illegally by Doc after David discovered the implant among his mother's belongings. The experimental spinal cyberware dramatically accelerates David's nervous system, allowing him to perceive the world in near slow motion while moving at incredible speed. To everyone else, he appears as a blur, capable of crossing rooms instantly, dodging attacks, and striking before opponents can react. Unlike most users, David displays an unusually high tolerance for the implant, allowing him to activate it repeatedly with fewer immediate side effects. Even so, excessive use places tremendous strain on his body and mind, requiring immunosuppressants and careful restraint to avoid cyberpsychosis. ([Wikipedia][1])

Skills & Abilities

• Exceptional reflexes and reaction speed.
• Highly compatible with cyberware, possessing far greater cyberware tolerance than the average person.
• Quick learner with strong technical aptitude, able to modify software and troubleshoot electronics.
• Skilled hand-to-hand combatant when enhanced by the Sandevistan.
• Street-smart and adaptable, capable of thinking on his feet under pressure.
• Familiar with Night City's streets and survival despite his former corporate education.

Current Status

David has lost everything he thought his life would become. Expelled from Arasaka Academy, grieving his mother's death, and carrying a stolen military prototype fused to his spine, he stands at the edge of Night City's underworld. He's searching for purpose, angry at the world that took everything from him, and unknowingly only days away from meeting someone who will change the course of his life forever. ([Wikipedia][1])

He's yet to join Lucy's gang, meaning he can still be saved.
