History Characters / Cyberpunk2077

* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler: If the InUniverse rumors of the “Blue Eyed People” are true, then he’s most likely a beyond-the-Blackwall rogue ai wearing a human body like a suit. If the rumors are false, he’s simply a mysterious and powerful man. Neither situation is confirmed.]]

* FriendlyRival: Is seen hanging around with Arif Iqbol at Hansen's party.
* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Downplayed. As she casually admits to Arif Igbol at Hansen's party, she considers her N54 News stint as akin to feeding gonk to the masses, drooly reading words on a teleprompter. On the other hand, she not only enjoys the fame that comes with being a popular anchorwoman, but also the access it gives her to the places where words ''do'' matter.

!!Arif Iqbol

* AscendedExtra: Makes a physical appearance in-game after Hanako [[spoiler: is kidnapped by Goro.]]
* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Gillean doesn't realize the V who is five feet away from her is the person most responsible for the story she's currently working on.

* SlummingIt: Despite Bree's claims of being a struggling journalist, her apartment in Heywood is shown to be rather swanky for someone trying to make it big, complete with travel magazines for exotic locales [[even if it's partly an attempt to escape Militech]]. Johnny also notes sardonically how ''actual'' struggling media in his day wished they had something like her living conditions.

* ExactWords: When accused by V that Fingers is just selling second-rate and defective chrome to his "patients", he counters that he's offering them the best wares ''he'' [[DamnedByFaintPraise could find]].
* {{Foil}}: To Viktor. Both are literally back-alley doctors, but while Viktor is a capable professional and an honest, moral person who could go "legit" as a Corpodoc if he wanted to [[spoiler:as he was pressured into being in the "Tower" ending]], Fingers is genuinely immoral and shady. Also, while Viktor's basement is merely dingy, Fingers' "clinic" is really uncanny place.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Ziggy Q is shown to have no more love for the NCPD's seeming ineptitude and corruption than most in Night City. He wastes little time tearing through the spiel being delivered by the NCPD's PR representative, and doesn't even let her finish before grilling her on the spot, which [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Johnny finds satisfying to watch]].

* JerkassHasAPoint: Despite being a shill for Arasaka, his points about Militech and the NUSA being authaoritarian buddy-buddies is accurate.

* SincerityMode: Ziggy Q is fond of slipping in not only his biases, but also his honest views whenever he could get away with it.
--> '''Ziggy Q''': We are ''fucked'', America! And I'm not sure how we're gonna fix it!

* RenegadeSplinterFaction: The Wriaths are pretty much comprised of Nomads deemed so terrible and abhorrent that they were exiled from their clans of origin.

[[quoteright:877:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ncpd_jpeg.jpg]]

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While it's unclear where he falls in the spectrum in Night City, seeing as how he wants V to steal a client list from a casino, [[spoiler:he can be seen at the end of "Dream On" at a balcony, observing V's meeting with Jefferson from afar. It's unclear whether he is involved with the Peralez's brainwashing, however]].

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: He's far enough away that the player has to scan to see it's him but he is watching V's last meeting with Jefferson Peralez. Whether he was involved in the brainwashing or is just observing is anyone's guess. [[spoiler:He can also be seen far away in ''The Killing Moon''.]]

* WeHaveReserves: Regular beat cops are essentially cannon fodder, against the player ''and'' against rival gangs, with elites such as [=MaxTac=] typically only deploying for cyberpsycho cases. It's a disturbingly regular sight in Night City to see an abandoned and/or burning patrol car or two, surrounded by several NCPD bodies with maybe one or two survivors taking cover from a gangoon onslaught. [[VideoGameCaringPotential Whether you help them]] [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential or finish them off/let them die]] is up to you.

* KillerCop: [[spoiler:If V spares her, Anna is now armed with the knowledge that not only are her bosses corrupt, but want her dead. So she strikes first, first killing Captain Kowalsky and then taking out Bill Adams, whose body you can find in the market. She follows this up with a shooting spree at her precinct, where she ends up getting gunned down by her former coworkers.]] [[AvertedTrope Averted]], however, if a Nomad V gives her advice about joining the Nomads to get away from the city; instead of going on a revenge-fueled killing spree, she instead decides that [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere she's had enough of NCPD and Night City in general and joins the Aldecaldos.]]

* DirtyCop: A DownplayedTrope example as her fiancé and his best friend are drug dealers on the side and she has no problem with it. If anything, she's more pissed at Wilson because [[DoWrongRight he's too stupid to pull off the schemes]] [[ToxicFriendInfluence he keeps dragging Bill into]], regularly getting them both in deep shit.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: While its never directly addressed in game, Stella couldn't be anymore diffrent than her younger sister Sasha. Whereas Sasha was a [[HiredGuns Edgerunner]] who used to roll with [[Characters/CyberpunkEdgerunnersTheCrew Maine's crew]] until she went out in a [[DoNotGoGentle blaze of glory]] [[CantStopTheSignal exposing Biotechnica]] for selling tainted painkillers which caused the [[YouKilledMyFather death of their mother]] and countless others, Stella is a [[OnlySaneMan level-headed]] FairCop who is [[LovableCoward averse to risk]] and ''begs'' V to not escalate the situation any further by doing something hasty like killing Dodger's men.

** She begs V to not kill any of Dodger's men out of fear of Bill's safety via incurring the lieutenant's wrath. [[spoiler:This no longer becomes an issue if V [[TakeAThirdOption simply decides to]] [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim kill Dodger]], saving Stella and Bill from being exploited any further]].

* TheCorruptible: Charles is blamed by Stella for turning Bill into what he is, but Bill has consistently gone along with all of Wilson's [[ZanyScheme insane grifts]] in spite of the massive [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter red flags surrounding the dude]]. [[spoiler:Its only until they almost lose their lives in Dogtown does Bill finally decide that [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere enough is enough]] [[BrokenPedestal and cut Wilson out of his life]].]]

* ThoseTwoGuys: Bill and Charles have been friends their entire lives and get into a lot of trouble together. [[spoiler:Thankfully, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Bill finally stops working with Charles]] [[BrokenPedestal due to him bringing too much trouble after the Dodger deal goes south]].]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He dies by Adam Smasher's hand(or technically [[FinishingStomp foot]]) in "The Star" ending, but not before blasting him with a [[ChargedAttack fully charged]] [[MagneticWeapons Satara]] [[ShotgunsAreJustBetter shotgun]] point-blank to [[ClippedWingAngel blast off Smasher's chest armor plate and part of his arm]] [[ClippedWingAngel and a fifth of his health bar]], shouting his Nomad nation's name at full volume in defiance before letting fly.]]

* ActorAllusion: This isn't [[VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman the first time]] Bryan Dechart has voiced a machine with [[ItCanThink more to him]] [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman than meets the eye]] in a video game.

** Is willing to get herself killed to [[spoiler: avenge]] Marco and scuttle a Sovi Oil/Brazil economic treaty.

* EliteMooks: Being comprised of the most heavily armed, grizzled, and nigh-sociopathic the NCPD has to offer, [=MaxTac=] lives up to its reputation.

* NiceGirl: One of the rare few ones in Night City and arguably ''[[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim way]]'' [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim out of Bill's league]].

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: So many V players will wonder this once they meet Bill the IdiotHero.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Due to the fact that Sasha was [[ComicBookFantasyCasting already physically based on]] Suzi Hunter, her sister Stella (who was [[InkSuitActor directly modeled after]] Hunter) would naturally look alike. By extension thus pretty much makes her the closest one can get to an ''Edgerunners'' original character appearing in-person in the game proper.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Due to the fact that Sasha was [[ComicBookFantasyCasting already physically based on]] Suzi Hunter, her sister Stella (who was [[InkSuitActor directly modeled after]] Hunter) would naturally look alike.

[[caption-width-right:380:"Don't kill any of his men. It will only make it worse."]]

A NCPD officer who wants V to rescue her boyfriend and his best friend from within a Barghest den in Pacifica.

* DirtyCop: A DownplayedTrope example as her boyfriend and his best friend are drug dealers on the side and she has no problem with it.
* EntertaininglyWrong: Believes Dodger is holding both her boyfriend and his partner hostage. [[spoiler: They actually have locked ''themselves'' up because they accidentally got a drug mule killed while they were trying to turn him over for a reward.]]

** Dodger is also a ReasonableAuthorityFigure compared to her idiot boyfriend and his partner.

* NiceGirl: One of the rare ones in Night City and arguably much-much too good for Bill.
* OnlySaneMan: Stella comes off as as a lot saner than anyone else in the quest, even if she's wrong about Dodger.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Tells you not to kill any of Dodger's men because she believes it will only make things worse. [[spoiler: She's right but not because he's a dangerous monster but because he genuinely cares about his men and isn't intending to harm his "prisoners" anyway.]]

* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Many-many V players will wonder this once they meet Bill the IdiotHero.

Stella's boyfriend and partner of Charles Wilson, Bill is an extremely mediocre cop often dragged into Charles' schemes.

* TheCorruptible: Charlie is blamed for turning Bill into what he is but he's gone along with all of it.

* DirtyCop: A police officer very happy to work with the BARGHEST.

* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: He can be encountered later and tells V that [[spoiler:despite Dodger saying he would let them be, he is actually blackmailing them and threatened Stella to make Bill his mole in the [=NCPD=].]]
* ThoseTwoGuys: Bill and Charles have been friends their entire lives and get into a lot of trouble together. [[spoiler:Bill stops working with Charles due to him bringing too much trouble after the Dodger deal goes south]].
* ZanyScheme: Bill and Charles had one to pick up a criminal who had stolen 10K+ worth of drugs from Dodger then turn him over for a reward. [[spoiler: The criminal proceeded to eat all the drugs and OD while they were in Dodger's home base. They then cut him open to remove them despite the fact they'd already dissolved.]]

* TheCorruptor: Stella blames Charles for turning Bill into a DirtyCop but he clearly didn't have to work hard.
* DirtyCop: A police officer very happy to work with the Barghests gang.

* ZanyScheme: Bill and Charles had one to pick up a criminal who had stolen 10K+ worth of drugs from Dodger then turn him over for a reward. [[spoiler: The criminal proceeded to eat all the drugs and OD while they were in Dodger's home base. They then cut him open to remove them despite the fact they'd already dissolved.]]

[[folder: Stella Ramos]]

* OhCrap: Interrupts the Reverend Colver's speech regarding the Relic due to him making too many good points.

* SketchySuccessor: After their original leader Selita Bakker died the clan went through several more leaders in just a few short years. This is believed to be the main contributing factor to the family's slow fracture and ultimate demise.
