Role descriptions
As a way to bring out the creative side among ourselves I thought it would be neat to post our own descriptions for the classic Cyberpunk roles, perhaps even giving CDPR some ideas in the process. The descriptions should be short texts, consisting of only a couple of sentences, wherein you compellingly describe what you think defines a role. It doesn't have to be detailed, as long as it captivates the imagination (think of them of extended taglines with more meat to it). Underneath I've listed the roles and their most basic descriptions (from Wikipedia) for those who are not familiar with the source material.
The Roles
To keep things clear, just pick the role(s) you want to describe and put it in this form:
[Role name in bold, Size 3]
[Description directly underneath it. At least 3 sentences with a maximum of 10 sentences or so, as long as its not an entire back story - keep it short and memorable]
Example:
Cop
The violence, the rackets, the grime... Night City needs a purging and a gun and badge is all it takes. From squashing local boostergangs and rounding up shady trafficking operations out in the streets, to sweeping the Net for illegal activity - there's no place the law can't reach. Driven by his ideal of justice, the cop goes out on duty, the power of authority stirring in his flesh as he assumes its very form. He'll have his way; if not by mandate, then by force.
