    Hehehe, come! Create a magnificent creature that you cannot even fathom! Give them a wonderful backstory or a terrible one! keep the character or just toss them into the bin! But I want to see what you made before you do either!

    I guess since there is nudity and sex implied by the text, you little minors should avert your brains. Not that it actually shows anything, but the imagination is a powerful thing, right?

    **Hehe, alright, wow, first one. Fine, once I get home I will post my character. I even wrote their backstory.

    I found mine, here ya go.
    BIOGRAPHY
    Age: 22
    Nationality: Pacific Islander (Hawaii)
    Language: Hawaiian, Streetslang
    Has short, curly black hair. Black eyes. Slightly dark skin.


    Jeffrey grew up in a wealthy environment. His father was a Corporate Executive living it up in one of the most beautiful places of all time. He had everything he could want. Plus, he wasn’t even the first born child, meaning he didn’t have to be forced to join the Corporation or inherit the family business.

    His mother was enabling, but she was sweet. While he could have become rotten, Jeffrey instead was a happy child loved by many.

    It was unfortunate, but his parents died in a car crash when he was about 16. He kept thinking that perhaps there was something off about the whole thing, such as why were there Corporate-hired Solos cleaning up the scene? How come the evidence was all taken away?

    Jeffrey had his eyes opened after that.

    He spent about a year trying to gather clues, discovering other unsavory bits about Corporate members.

    When he was 17, Jeffrey bumped into a wonderful distraction. He would go over what he found in a nearby coffee shop, settling into the atmosphere and calming down. However, the waitress, Tammi, was always friendly. The two hit it off surprisingly well. Things have gotten more serious, but Jeffrey is now tied down by his relationship with the Corporation.

    When he was 18, he managed to sneak into a Corporation building disguised as a janitor. As he was about to steal incriminating evidence, an older female Solo, Milena began shooting up the place, wanting vengeance. Though troublesome, Jeffrey helped her out. So now, in exchange for any info he digs up on the Corporation, she will work for him.

    When he was 19, Jeffrey moved out of his sister Samantha’s house and went to a University in journalism.

    While there, the next year, he ended up creating a fan base in one of the local gangs. They love what he has to say and are willing to rally behind him if he needs it to take down the Corporation!

    As a genius like his sister and family, Jeffrey graduated University in around 4 years. In his last year, a professor in the journalism department saw that he was actually struggling with his studies and decided to help him. Professor Leary realized he was sneaking out almost every night, but kept silent. Jeffrey appreciated this, but also began to see the professor as almost like a father.

    Now he is 22. Sometimes he sees his sister, who misses him, most of the time he is at work. He often sets up dates with Tammi, when he isn’t looking for leads on his parents’ accident. He recently started his new job as a Stringer Reporter, where he met a new friend and coworker, Daniel. He was assigned to Jeffrey’s crew as the Editor, cutting the film and rearranging it into a suitable way for Jeffrey’s audience. They may soon become a classic duo.

    Jeffrey is sneaky and deceptive, trying to not let anyone know how much he knows. However, he wants to know all you know.
    He values Professor Leary as his teacher and mentor who watched over him like a father during his university days.
    His main desire is to enact vengeance on the Corporation that killed his parents.

    But, Jeffrey realizes thanks to his people skills, that most people are imperfect beings that make mistakes. It is the people who make mistakes time and again and think they can’t suffer the consequences that he hates. Everyone else he generally appreciates. After all, he is a celebrity. Why would he hate his fans?

    Probably one of the reasons he went into media, Jeffrey has an old ViewMaster that his mother gave him when they could not make it to Disney Land. It had images of the rides and attractions, which allowed him to see another location without actually going there. Now he records images and posts them for others to see. Sometimes…he use the ViewMaster to imagine vacationing with his parents…

    It is incredibly dated, I know. I hope they release a 2077 version with updated technology.

    I've seen it, but not in relation to my tabletop games, more like I've followed it's development because it's made by the people who brought us the Witcher's 2 and 3. I'm super eager to see what CD Projekt does with the Cyberpunk 2020 IP, remember however that what's shown in first glances is usually a far cry from the release so don't ride the HypeTrain just yet, I know it's easy to get exited with them after their previous works but we never know for certain till the games are out.

    True. they stressed the 'this is merely a preview, anything you see is subject to change' throughout the entire demos.

    I was surprised it’s by the same people who did the Witcher series. Although I’ve always viewed Deus Ex as a spiritual successor to 2020.

    Still remember when I thought 2020 was the distant future, and the concept of stealing electronic currency was mind blowing.

    And now we are getting to an entirely credit based currency here in America. Apparently around 9 trillion of our 10.something trillion dollars is up in the cloud or whatnot.

    Aye, those demonstrations are usually heavily manipulated to show a game that is usually not what's released, I mean do you even remember the Watch Dogs E3 preview compared to the release controversy? I'm hopeful because CD Projekt has show remarkable integrity and amazing work plus they have a clean record so far but after No Man's Sky my trust in the whole industry burned faster than Darth Vaders dick did in Mustafar. I ain't getting overly exited about any game not yet released.

    I'm still hopeful though the setting of the game looks to be very captivating and I really want it to succeed.

    That looks like the 2nd edition lifepaths, I'm not to sure but the eariler verison had a chance of death. So that when rolling for your character it could just die before the game started.
