Personality

VOID is a perfect balance of calm and chaos. Usually very quiet and stoic, they don't need much to become reckless and dangerous to the environment. Their overanalytic mind works overtime to gather intel about the surroundings and use it whenever it's necessary. They always adapt their personality to the person they talk to. They are more likely to be kinder to people who (in their opinion) need help the most and the worst nightmare to the ones who belittle and provoke them. They have a lot of allies and twice as much enemies, but no matter how much you hate them you will not deny their services when necessary. They tend to take whatever they need at the moment and will use force if required.  They barely show any emotions, especially sympathy, but will comfort others if they find it necessary. They often speak what they think about, no matter if it's appropriate or hurtful. They have trouble processing social cues and use an AI reader to help them with it.

  • They have a hard time processing other people's emotions properly and uses an AI software to help them with it
  • Protects their identity from the whole world, to the point that people closest to them have no idea who they are
  • Only a few people has seen their face 
  • Learns extremely fast
  • Their cyberspace looks like a chess board; they see every ally and enemy as pawns and it's easier for them to navigate things through chess in general
  • Lets their crew hangout or stay for longer in their hideout
  • Cannot eat and therefore cannot cook, but they make sure that the fridge in their hideout is always full so others can fulfill their needs

History

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF ABUSE, DEATH, SUICIDE, MENTAL ISSUES

If you ask around the city, no one knows who VOID really is. They just appeared one day and quickly dominated the net and became the most desired netrunner in Night City. Roaming the city in a long coat and neon mask, they bring peace to people who need it and chaos to those who deserve it.  There is no present data about them besides what people have been talking about - faceless. Very calm but restless. Professional. Will do the dirtiest work for you. There are a lot of legends floating around considering VOID to be an AI, a comer from the outer space or a regular human being with god complex. They never denied nor confirmed any, leaving the interpretation to them. If you want to work with them, be prepared for everything. VOID will not hesitate to act on impulse if they smell deception. They have very strong morals and always gather intel about their clients and potential targets, keeping a list of those they should eliminate and those to keep close to them. You never know which one you are on until it's too late. You may love them or hate them, but you will always be back.


VOID was an autistic child with quite a few impairments that eventually made their parents abandon them completely. They spent most of their childhood in an orphanage that prided themselves in the biggest mortality rate in Night City. Most of the children there were in situations that would simply not improve; complete orphans with no relatives or ones that wouldn't be adopted anyway because of their condition. They were either traded as slaves, organ donors or simply killed by either the guardians or other residents. They had to fight for their life everyday and figured out survival is their only option. They adapted enough to be able to pull through and used every resource available to develop their skills. As they started gathering informations about their surroundings, VOID quickly realized how valuable this knowledge was, and jumped completely into the net to see how far they could go. They grasped hacking skills in no time, which granted them even more flexibility and freedom, and eventually after finding out what happened to children who suddenly went missing, they killed a few guardians responsible for their disappearances and ran away from the orphanage. At the age of 16 they lived on the streets, trying their best to survive and still improve their skills. They started to earn their first money by repairing old tech and selling informations. As they continued to grasp more and processed more dangerous intel, they started worrying about their identity. The thought of being tracked down weighted heavily on them and made them so paranoid they eventually developed enough skill to wipe out every bit of information that ever existed around the net and go off radar. They tried to kill themselves right after. Fortunately, the bullet missed the brain but did enough damage to their jaw they had to get a replacement, completely removing the parts of their face from eyes down. They survived, and in the end admitted their identity cannot be recognized if they don't have a face. So, they decided to completely turn the lights off and made themselves a cybernetic mask that locked into their jaw parts securely. They made sure that every part of their skin is covered with either clothing or specialistic cybernetics and presented themselves as VOID - a faceless persona to be feared, a skilled netrunner everyone will desire. They quickly gathered intel about the most important people around the city and made sure to introduce themselves; the info has spread so fast everyone knew about VOID a few days later. They became the number one topic and while many people tried to track them down and eliminate them, none of them succeeded. Eventually, as they became faceless they tracked down their biological parents and killed them for the fate they brought upon them.  Now, while VOID is one of the most desired netrunners in Night City, they focus on bringing peace - helping more poor and less fortunate communities, eliminating threats. They work with gangs, fixers and private clients, sometimes giving their aid to corporations as well if they find it necessary. Nothing is impossible to them and 'lost causes' are their favourite thing to work with; the more challenging, the better.
While their mental state improved now that they couldn't be recognized completely, it started to fall apart because of something different - the amount of tech they put into their body was weighting so heavily on them, even with taking immunosuppressants it was difficult for them not to get cyberpsychosis attacks ocassionally. They turned to Regina who specializes in helping cyberpsychos and is now under their supervision to manage the symptoms, hoping they will find a better remedy to treat cyberpsychosis soon.  VOID's body had to adapt in various ways - as they lost their face and basically ability to eat, they had to have a feeding pump installed onto their stomach to keep them nourished. There are two tubes that connect to a mechanical pump they always carry on their belt that provide enough nutrients for them to be able to live. Their vocal chords were replaced with a synthetizer that produces very robotic, glitchy and monotone voice. They implanted tech into their brain and switched to visual augments to be able to work faster and without using their hands. Though, they eventually replaced their forearms and legs below the knee to cybernetic ones to be able to use more force, work faster and grip themselves securely onto anything. With it, they made sure to reinforce their spine, too. Their left arm has a small-sized launcher to let them attack from afar and the right one has a retractable blade that can pierce through bones.
