Age: 30+
Pronoun: she/her
Timezone: EST
Current Characters: N/A
Character Name: Johnny Silverhand
Character Canon: Cyberpunk 2077
Canon Point: Don't Fear the Reaper
Age: 34 (died, 2023)
88 (Engram, 2077)
Crime: Terrorist—that's the word that will be sprawled across Johnny's back thanks to his participation in the 2023 bombing of Arasaka Tower in Night City. Despite his illustrious career as a tough-as-nails rocker boy with a chip on his shoulder for authority, Johnny Silverhand is labeled as a stone-cold terrorist by some. While he was, of course, less of a terrorist and more of a scapegoat for Militech's involvement in the bombing (Militech supplies the nukes to Morgan Blackhand and his group), Johnny was solely blamed for the bombing.
The nuclear fallout of this brazen act is referred to as the Night City Holocaust. It's a very interesting read and I would love to talk about the lore of Cyberpunk with anyone willing to listen.
Background: Here
Personality: Johnny's most notable trait is his charming nature, which he exhibits often throughout Cyberpunk 2077. But Johnny tends to be extremely self-centered. He shows little regard for the opinions of others, which can be seen as both advantageous and detrimental to those around him. Johnny is an impulsive and egocentric individual who will go to any lengths to maintain his position of superiority. This is evident when previous colleagues and friends discuss Johnny with V, particularly characters like Rogue and Kerry, who hold significant roles in Johnny's life. Johnny cheated on Rogue with Alt despite knowing damn well that she was still in love with him. Even after several years had passed since Alt was abducted by Arasaka, Johnny leveraged Rogue's feelings for him to enlist her assistance in rescuing Alt. Requesting help from your former partner to save your current love interest is truly brazen in every way imaginable. His inherently selfish and egotistical disposition consistently hindered Johnny's growth as a person.
Johnny is an incredibly charming man. Because of his no-holds-barred demeanor, he gets along well with others and is enjoyable to talk to. As the frontman of Samurai, Night City's most iconic chromatic rock band, he possesses an irresistible attraction that draws people in. It doesn't hurt that Johnny is rather attractive in his own way. He understands how to take advantage of other people's fascination with him. Despite his pent-up anger and frustration with the world at large, Johnny remains a rather captivating fellow. Johnny is so charming sometimes that he can make others almost forget how much of an asshole he is.
This demonstrates how easily he can sweet-talk the player if given the opportunity. He's a humorous guy, and as V grows closer to Johnny, his sense of humor becomes more apparent. The rocker boy is quite playful at times, even brotherly. Johnny can be pretty adorable when the mood strikes him, giving hilarious narrations of V's experiences in-game or hinting at satire whenever things go wrong. Johnny is just a funny guy that is addictive and entertaining to be around. By the time Johnny needs to leave, you truly miss him, despite his rough-and-tumble nature.
However, it should be noted that Johnny changes over time depending on the actions of V. If you are more empathetic to others, Johnny will criticize you but gradually adapt to exhibit more empathy. On the other hand, if you're a flaming jerk to Johnny and others, the feeling will be mirrored through his actions and dialogue. Johnny can grow depending on the dialogue choices and quests you undertake to either gain his trust or completely destroy what little faith he has in you. Johnny will occasionally try to take over V's body for his own enjoyment. This serves as a reminder that Johnny is a deadly entity and we, as players, have a limited understanding of the Engram's true power.
It should be noted that this version of Johnny has complete synergy with his V, which means they are practically identical. This explains Johnny and V's profound friendship since the Don't Fear the Reaper secret ending, where the two of them return to Arasaka Tower and settle the score once and for all. It's a suicide mission that could end in a hail of bullets long before V reaches Mikoshi, a data fortress in a part of cyberspace controlled by Saburo Arasaka that houses the digitized personalities from the "Secure Your Soul" campaign as well as Soulkiller victims like Alt Cunningham and Silverhand himself.
Abilities: What Johnny lacks in supernatural abilities, he compensates for with the numerous skills he possesses and unexpectedly takes from his previous host, V. While he is nowhere near as powerful as Cyberpunk 2077's main character, he is well-versed in fighting and weaponry. It should also be noted that Johnny is a veteran of the Second South American War, meaning he does have combat experience. Although, it should be noted that Johnny was critically injured during the beginning of the war. That is how he lost his arm, of course.
Weapon Handling: Firearms (pistols, shotguns, rifles)
Basic Self-Defense: Boxing & basic Judo
Minor Hacking
Enhanced Strength (more like ripping open metal doors)
Enhanced Stamina
Outside of combat, Johnny is a seasoned performer known for his vocals, songwriting, and skills with the guitar. His band, SAMURAI, was rather popular back in the day and well beloved by Night City.
Vocalist
Guitarist
Songwriting/Lyricist
