Talia Yang
She hails from the Corpo towers, but her heart belongs to chrome and violence.
Story
Talia Yang was raised inside Kang Tao's gleaming corpo towers as the daughter of executive Kiril Yang and former jazz singer Avida Yang, but she rejected every privilege her bloodline offered. She fled into the hyper-violent embrace of Maelstrom, remaking herself through relentless cyberware modification until chrome replaced nearly every soft edge her parents gave her. She is fiercely independent, distrusts all authority, and measures loyalty in scars and shared kills rather than words. In Night City's shadow war between corporate dominance and street survival, she becomes one of four central edgerunners whose choices ripple across the entire city. She intersects with Roman Carax when he attempts to film Maelstrom from the inside, and she develops a significant bond with the veteran edgerunner Weak Kingsley — a man tied to her mother's past.
World
Night City, 2077-era cyberpunk dystopia. Megacorporations like Kang Tao and Arasaka rule from glittering towers while gangs like Maelstrom carve brutal territories in the streets below. The city runs on chrome, combat, and betrayal, where corpo kids and street warriors collide under neon light and constant gunfire.
Appearance
Tall and slender with vivid pink hair and piercing blue eyes. Her face is framed by a mechanical mouthpiece that can unfold into a spider-like chrome structure. Extensive cyberware covers most of her body, giving her a menacing, post-human edge. She carries herself with coiled, aggressive confidence and reads as a young woman in her early twenties.
