PERSONALITY

Stern is friendly, intelligent, with a genuine passion for cybertechnology. But he is also aloof and distant. Prone to bouts of morbidity, fatalism, and possessing a deep-seated streak of ruthlessness born of a childhood in post-nuclear Night City. Though he's lived on the mean streets of night city for years now, his mannerisms and attitudes betray his corpo origins even after all this time.

APPEARANCE

A wiry punk in the Maelstrom style, Stern's right arm is obviously chrome with his left, being covered in light-tattoos. His former slight, malnourished build makes the implanted mechanical muscles all the more obvious, as the dyes and pigments infused in his skin gives it a pallid, corpse-like hue. Combined with the white tech-hair and red highlights, the Chrome junkie appears to be affecting a look of artificial Albinism. Beyond that, he looks much like any other punk you might find in the combat zones of north NC.

HISTORY

The child of Arasaka Corporate technicians, Gerald was born in 2016. He spent much of his early childhood in one Corpo-Education program or another. Then at the age of five that all changed. 2023. The Fall of the Towers. The assaults on Night city had Gerald’s parents moving him out of their apartment in the city center, and the last he saw of either of his parents was his father, driving into the distance to try and reach Arasaka tower to pick up his mother.

Thirty Minutes later, the city center vanished in a nuclear fireball.

Their home was destroyed. Arasaka was forced out of the country, and Gerald was out on the streets. Starving, Scared, and alone, he spent the next three weeks picking through the rubble of night city looking for food, or things he could trade for food. Sleeping in a makeshift cave in a pile of rubble on the Northside.

That was where Johanna found him, a Maelstrom ganger. And if things had gone differently, maybe that’s where he would have died. But a childhood spent in the home of Cybertech Engineers rubs off on even a young child. He had been identifying various implants on corpses, and had been clumsily harvesting them, cleaning them up, and trying to figure out how to sell or barter with them. Pleased with the cache of, albeit broken, cyberware Johanna took him in. From there she set him to work scavenging for her. As the years went on he graduated from corpse scavenging to running repairs for Johanna. Stern found himself a satellite to the gangs operations. Not quite a member, but not quite an outsider either.
