Cyberpunk

Basic info: Dancing on the line between sanity and cyberpsychosis on any stage that’ll take her, Robin Largo (known mostly by the stage name OVERDOSE, or nickname Robs) is a rockerboy idoru with anger issues looking for her missing family.

Tailored to Cyberpunk 2077, but compatible with Cyberpunk RED. More in-depth info below.

Physical

Robs stands at 5’8” and a half (the half is very important to her). She has a thin frame and very pale skin, almost paper-white. She steps lightly, making little noise when she walks.

Her naturally brown hair is dyed a bright teal, and reaches past her waist. She wears it styled in an overgrown hime-cut. At this time, she does not currently have tech hair, though has considered it many times.

Her face is most often completely flat and emotionless, rarely does she manage to emote aside from a scowl. Her eyes are almost constantly narrowed in a sharp glare. Her left eye has been replaced with a bright red cyber eye, though her right eye is organic and a dull green color.

On stage, she dons her Asia Pop-inspired idoru costume. Off stage, she wears a lot of tight-fitting black clothing. She loves big chunky black boots.

SUICIDOL

SUICIDOL is the rock Idoru group that Robs belongs to. Within the group, she operates under the stage name OVERDOSE. The other two members are Mercuri Daedalus, aka LACERATE, and Akina Kasai, aka IMMOLATE. They have been performing for a handful of years with mild popularity in Night City. Their sound is comparable to idol groups like BiS, ZOC, Zsasz, KAQRIYOTERROR, etc.

They debuted a year or two after Us Cracks, with their producers and managers being inspired by UC’s popularity. Rather than following their steps in the lazrpop genre, however, SUICIDOL presents themselves as a bit heavier and more hardcore. This has put them in a position of pseudo-rivalry, as both groups have 3 girls and market themselves as idols, though Us Cracks have considerably more popularity than SUICIDOL.

LACERATE is the oldest member of the group and the closest thing they have to a leader, and coincidentally is the most popular member. She has a rough personality and a crass sense of humor. She wears a lot of shorts to show off her custom cyberlegs. She’s very loud, and her main role in the group is harsh, shouting vocals.

IMMOLATE is the next oldest, and despite her cheerful and cute demeanor, is the least popular member of the group (she doesn’t know though, and if she did, it wouldn’t bother her). She is the most chromed member of the group, having undergone an almost complete replacement of her body after an unfortunate incident with a house fire. Her role in the group is the main dancer.

OVERDOSE is the youngest member, though considers herself the most mature. She takes her role in the group very seriously, and is rarely, if ever, seen smiling. Her role in the group is the main clean vocalist.

Robs does not get along with the other two members, but is good at pretending in front of the fans and management. She does not hide her distaste for the members when it’s just the three of them, however. She’d quit the group if she could, but she needs the industry connections.

Family

Tod Bateman: Robs’ father. A rockerboy in his youth that traveled Night City and surrounding areas for a handful of years. Eventually, he quit the band, and began working for a corporation to support his family. Though Robs wasn’t extremely close with her father like she was her mother, she was inspired by him to pursue music.

Patti Bateman (nee Largo): Robs’ mother. Never trusted cyberware, and had none implanted. She worked as a teacher. Robs was much closer with her mother than she was with her father. All she has left of her is a gold necklace with a little honeybee charm on it.

Storm Bateman: Robs’ younger brother by about three and a half years. They weren’t especially close, but they did care for each other, and considering the young age he disappeared at, Robs fears what might have happened to him.

Story

TL;DR: Robs’ father, in his early days, was a mildly popular rockerboy in a band. Eventually, he quit and got a job at a corporation, married Robs’ mother, and settled down to start a family. His ex-bandmates detested his leaving, as most of the fans left with him. Very early in Robs’ childhood, following the birth of her younger brother, her father lost her job after the corporation was bought out by a larger company and he was laid off. This happened a few more times over the years - lots of bad luck. Eventually, a day came where he stopped coming home completely, having vanished without a trace. Robs’ family tried to relocate to a different part of the city, but in the years that followed, her mother disappeared, and so did her brother. Having been an idoru trainee from a young age, she decided to enter the industry proper to find someone who might know where her father (and, she assumes, the rest of her family) went. She’s met various fixers along the way, and does work for them on the side. Currently, she lives in a mid-scale apartment in Night City with her pet cat, Stellaluna. She does not have a driver’s license, but owns a motorcycle.

LONG VERSION: Robs was born in the early 2050s to Patti and Tod Bateman. She enjoyed a comfortable life in her very early years, though following the birth of her younger brother, the trajectory of her family’s life quickly turned downward. The corporation Tod worked for had gone bankrupt, and was ultimately bought out by another company, who laid off all the workers. While Tod was in between jobs, he had a run-in with his old bandmates, and came home heavily injured. The family relocated, and Tod got another job at a different corporation. The next few years went relatively smoothly, apart from Tod finding himself followed home more often, odd figures standing outside their home, things like that. This was all kept from Robs and Storm, who never knew anything was wrong. Patti worked as a teacher for a time, but eventually leaving the house regularly became dangerous for her, so she quit her job. Robs and Storm were excited to have more time with her at home, still unaware of the danger.

When Robs was around 8 years old, Tod lost his job due to layoffs again, and the family moved to non-corporate housing for the first time. They lived in a small apartment. It was months before he was able to find work again, but Robs enjoyed having both parents at home. Tod told her stories of his days in a band, and Robs decided she wanted to do that, too, so she ended up convincing her parents to let her become an idoru trainee. She joined a dance company, though didn’t debut until much, much later.

At the age of 12, Robs joined her first trainee group of 12 girls, Team Team. They performed together for about two years, though never officially released any music. They disbanded due to the majority of the girls graduating out of the group or simply quitting, and Robs went back to being a normal trainee. It was around this time that Robs realized the severity of the situation her father was in, that his ex-bandmates really had it out for him - and possibly people affected by the numerous corporations he worked for. She wanted to help, and brought it up often, but she was always shot down. Nothing she could do.

When Robs was 16, nearing the age where she could finally officially debut, there came a day where Tod simply… did not come home from work. Patti tried contacting anyone who might know his whereabouts, his boss, coworkers, anyone - but it was almost as if they never existed at all. Patti was desperate to move herself and her children out of the area they were in, but with Tod gone, and her unemployed, the costs were simply too high. She eventually got a bartending job, and Robs was able to earn a little bit of money through tips from street performances, and eventually they scrounged up enough money to relocate.

Before moving, Patti changed her surname back to her maiden name, and did the same for Robs and Storm, just in case. However, soon after moving into their new apartment, Patti disappeared two months after Robs’ eighteenth birthday. Now the sole provider for herself and her brother, Robs was paranoid. Would they come for her next? There’s no way they had enough money to move again. Could Storm get a job? But that would just put him in harm’s way. But Storm wanted to work. He was smart, and had a knack for netrunning, and worked as a freelance hacker without Robs’ knowledge to bolster their funds. She found out only too late, when she was around twenty, and Storm disappeared, too.

From there, Robs was lost. Her family was gone, and it’s not like she had any friends. Even at the entertainment company, there was nobody there she considered anything more than an acquaintance. But maybe it was time to make some connections? She applied for an audition for a rock-idoru group, and ended up passing all auditions along with two other girls around her age, Akina and Mercuri. Akina was from another company, and Mercuri, while unaffiliated to any company, was a somewhat big name in the underground scene of Night City. The group was dubbed SUICIDOL, and the girls were assigned the stage names of OVERDOSE, IMMOLATE, and LACERATE. They were a moderate hit right away, thanks to the company’s marketing, though some were skeptical of the blending of rock and idoru elements.

The group got along fine at first, but over the years, Robs grew to resent the other two members. After all, Robs wasn’t here to make friends, she was here to make connections. She made contact with anyone and everyone she could that might have any information about her father’s ex-bandmates, desperate for anything that might lead her closer to finding what happened to him.

A handful of years and a lot of cyberware later, Robs has not made much progress. With as many industry professionals as she’s gotten to know, none of them seem to be the right ones, and with SUICIDOL getting more mainstream, the underground venues her father performed at are getting farther out of Robs’ reach. To combat this, she sought out a handful of fixers to give her gigs that might get her closer. Over time, she’s acquired a new, nicer apartment, a motorcycle (but no driver’s license), a sniper rifle, a pistol, and a large metal pipe she calls her ‘bo staff’.
