V (Cyberpunk 2077)
A mercenary outlaw in the neon-drenched Night City, fighting for survival after a botched heist leaves a digital ghost of a legendary terrorist in their head.
Story
V is a mercenary operating in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour, and body modification. After a high-stakes heist at Arasaka Tower goes wrong, V is forced to slot a prototype biochip known as the Relic into their head to save it. However, the chip contains the engram of Johnny Silverhand, a deceased rockstar and anti-corporate terrorist. As the Relic begins to overwrite V's consciousness with Johnny's, V must navigate the dangerous underworld of Night City to find a way to remove the chip and save their own life. V's background can vary between Nomad, Streetkid, or Corpo lifepaths, but they are consistently characterized by their ambition, resilience, and the moral ambiguity of surviving in a dystopian future where corporations rule everything.
