Your favourite options when making your character.

Hello All

I have made V's that cover the options male and female, I don't go for the mixed options, as well as all the lifepaths and was wondering which one you like the best?

My favourite one is the fully Female corpo with hardly any visible cyberware. I also change my appearance to add a forehead scar after the Heist. I think most of you will know why so I won't spoil it for anyone who doesn't.

I always choose a short hair cut as I think it looks more "corpo" and "normal" make up options with no tattoos or body scars, except for the head.

Anyway I was just setting up for my last run though until Phantom Liberty and was interested in what people choose. btw I'm a guy and V doesn't represent me.

I'm another female corpo V fan - think fem V is voiced brilliantly and I like the vibe of the overall arc of corpo V. (Nomad has an appeal too tbf.)

She usually ends up with tattoos at some point as I play (mods obvs - love some of the sleeve tattoos done by modders) but I tend to keep her fairly close to default in looks just tinkered with to get closer to a neo-militarism look initially. Always promise myself I'll do a full netrunner build one day but every time I get my first katana I get derailed into a melee build.

I always try to change the look of my V, both male and female. Generally I'll choose options that represent their lifepath...Corpo will be heavy on Tech and Int, lighter on Cool, lightest on Body, Reflex...they aren't naturally action types. Nomads, OTOH, will be heavy on Reflex, Tech and Body...lighter on Int and lightest on Cool...they're rural folk. Street kids will be heavy on Body and Cool, lighter on Reflex, lightest on Int and Tech. They're educated on the streets, not in corpo or tech schools.

They start that way, but I let them grow organically in their roles, depending on what gigs and side jobs require...they _learn_ on the job, so to speak.

As for looks..yes, sophisticated for Corpo, flashy style for Street Kids, rough and functional for Nomads. Same with their cars and weapons.

Right now I'm playing a Street Kid with a dark skin...I was going for racially indeterminate, but darned if he didn't turn out looking like a cool young Black guy. What's funny is that a lot of the flashy clothing items that look over-the-top and a little ridiculous on the light-skinned Vs look GREAT on this guy. Character creation is almost a game in itself in CP77...

All my Vs have a back story to account for the dying night, sometimes heavily inked wraiths pretending to be Bakkers, to Street Kid with scars and ink to pristine corpos without any ink or cyberware.

Creating a back story and then playing to that back story is half the game for me. I tend to do "play it safe" with just mantis, mono wire or gorilla arms and cyberware. Assuming security would have stopped anyone with weapons.
