V
V is the main protagonist of the video
game Cyberpunk 2077. The character of V
is highly customizable, allowing players to
shape their appearance, gender,
backstory, and even their moral compass.
V is a mercenary living in the dystopian
Night City, and their life is defined by the
choices the player makes. Depending on
the player’s choices, V can be a Nomad
looking for a fresh start, a Corpo who
suffered a fall from grace, or a Streetkid
born and raised in Haywood. Regardless
of their past, V is determined to make a
name for themselves in the city’s
underworld.
V’s skillset is also determined by the
player, ranging from hacking to hand-to-
hand combat, and their personality can
range from empathetic to ruthless.
Despite the many paths V can take, their
ultimate goal is to carve their own path
through Night City, navigating the
violence, depravity, and corporate warfare
that define the city.
In essence, V is a reflection of the player’s
choices and actions, making each
playthrough a unique experience. This
level of customization allows players to
truly immerse themselves in the world of
Cyberpunk 2077, shaping V’s story as they
navigate the challenges and opportunities
of Night City. Whether V becomes a hero,
a villain, or something in between is
entirely up to the player.
