Your a nobody, but who are you?

[mattcaron]

There was one gig - I don't remember which one, where you go to a megabuilding. There's a clinic and you need to get into it. I want to think it's 6th Street, and they converted some apartments to the clinic. Well, on the way in (or out) there's some apartment you can sneak through, and there's just some random guy in a dress shirt, loose tie, and, I thin boxers. There's an empty pizza box in front of him, and some empty beer cans, and he's in this random, filthy studio apartment. He doesn't notice you because he's too busy watching a BD, trying to forget his meaningless life, ground down as a gear in the inner workings of some megacorp.

I'd be that guy.

 

[MockingBox]

I'd want to open a bakery.
I've had an exciting real life. I want to fade away with a peaceful life in Night City with my family.

Rebel against the rebels and be normal

 

[Tahlmeir]

Probably some kind of net runner, Robin Hood beat.

 

[Feline_Witcher_]

My dream would be to follow Johnny's footsteps and fight the system, but in reality I'd be just another streetkid trying to survive NC.

 

[Suggs]

I'd be one of the masses that just strolls through life in an unassuming way

 

[GameslordXY]

A serial killer targeting corpos

 

[tavellone]

Probably some shitty netrunner who gets fried trying to breach the blackwall or something equally dumb and far beyond of my abilities.

That or a wannabe Anarchist Rockerboy. Either way, someone who dies pretty quickly.

 

[K0rnmermaid]

I'd be the new 600lb nude dancer at Afterlife. Everyone would be mesmerized by my sheer girth.

 

[MartineDee]

If you transfer me to NC, that'd be a corpo netrunner.

 

[Metropolice]

I'd probably be a corpo or a "gov(v?)o", the city or state-employed equivalent whether in Night City or NUSA. A low to mid level employee with some focus on security related matters. Some analyst at FIA, some (specific division) cop in NC or a guard or security related specialist at one big corp. I don't limit all this to Night City by location (doubting FIA would employ anyone but field agents there) but the world at large.

At least that is what I consider worthy to pursue from my current mindset, but I bet it would also be attainable if, in that world, I was born or living in tricky social circumstances.

I'd prefer it as a sort of stable employment over being a sort of street kid or roaming nomad. Unless I was in that world and "built different" I wouldn't even dream of trying to be a "legend" or so. Life fast and flashy but die young. While you could even die young in one of the aforementioned jobs I prefer I feel you have a good chance to have a decent life and employment.

--------------

Ultimately tho if you take a closer look it just shows what a dystopian world it is. Someone made a video on working times in typical big corporations and it's nuts compared to most corporations today. Barely any vacation days and lots of hours per week, something you today only find in select corporations or branches.
I'm a "govo" or G-Man in real life and let me tell you my working conditions and pay (€, lacking the €$ tho) today are bliss compared to what they might be in similar position in that fictional world of Cyberpunk. As such if I were to compare, what I'd look for in that world really is just a sort of 'damage control'.

As such I like to sometimes think that even if we struggle in the world of today, it is bliss compared to the world of Cyberpunk. I do love it and playing characters in them and seeing something else. But I wouldn't necessarily want to switch. But if I had to, it'd be one of the roles above or something slightly above 'em.

Corpo or G-Man life basically and hoping to find decent living conditions. The rest above? Would be a bonus.

I'm the guy who paid 30 bucks to play phantom liberty and can't because CDPR wants to celebrate instead of fixing the game.

I'm the guy who made amazon's stock go down from 3000 something to below 200. FIX OUR GAME.

 

[mightymatt27]

I don't think I've played anything that I'd like to live in. Fantasy genre games? Ahhh so pretty, and magical.... no. Where's my pizza, internet, modern dentistry? Nopes.

Cyberpunk? I suppose I could get used to pizza as it is there. And dentistry should still be could, the only challenge would be affording it. (no I'm wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to call the dentist your Ripper... but I guess that depends on your personal hygiene

Basically your scenario is; I'm me right now, but instead of this craptastic world, I get to live in one that is much worse. Living in NC? Hell no, too bleak. And NC is, as far as I'm aware, is worser than worse. I think I'd live where ever Judy's abuela lives (Portland was it?). If it's good enough for her and that Judy's not fretting about her, then I imagine that's the best I can cope with in Cyberpunk-land.

Second ranking version would be part of a Nomad family. Probably a member of the clan geared more toward fixing things.

I would be simply Nibbles. Just one and only cat in nightcity minding my own business after some random punk adopted me... and yeah... thats it

Reading this makes me realize my reply was the wrong answer.

What?

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here buuuuut:

[TheLocalHentai]

An owner of a food shop in Kabuki, facing the water, near the slums. Would specialize in barbecue skewers and meat buns, but would also have a selection of sushi and tea, coffee, and nicola.

Would also feed nearby slum kids and house orphaned ones. Income would mostly be dependent on the food but also some light/medium merc work, usually running around as a solo. Friends with people running around the conspiracy circle similar to Sandra and Gerald, mostly a passing amusement, has good rapport with Regina and Wakako.

 

[Kaidant]

I am the guy (Marcus by name) who has to restock all the individual apartment SCSMs I have no security and no trauma. I pay protection money to each gang and live in the upper stairwell cause no Gonk is gonna walk the stairs. It is not a great life but those are in short supply in Night City.

 

[MartineDee]

I don't think I've played anything that I'd like to live in.

Talking about where I would like to live, I have a place in mind. Though, that's not NC.

There are two places in Hitman(tm) 1-3:
- The Hokkaido hospital; if I owned the place, I wouldn't be leaving it! If not that, then --
- The Hawke's Bay house; that place is mwah!

 

[mightymatt27]

If I was in NC, who I would be would probably be a corpo. But not like in the game where you stink of skulduggery, rather I would do what I do in my corporate jobs today doing design stuff. And yeah, that stuff would be evil in the end, so it would fill me with self loathing. Not sure if it'd get out of it, if I did, that would be a positive.

But maybe I'd have cool fiends like burning crotch guy. I mean, he had a great sense of humor about his situation in the end. We could be pals. Or the clothing vender that says "put something on and shine!" She's got an awesome vibe especially for NC.

 

[chadesh]

I would be the cute bartender in Afterlife with my racing gig after hours

 

[CSL-Drive]

I woulden't be a nobody, because I don't exist. There would be a body or bodies, but no one in them.
This may come as a surprise to somebody who still believes that they are a somebody, and that here are other somebodies like themselves.
But everything would be exactly the same, except that there is no body choosing anything.
There also isn't free will.
No purpose.
No meaning.
No value.
Except to somebody who still believes that they are real and everything else is also real.
They would be the exception.
Dreaming of stories.
That no body lives, by contracting the one and fractalizing itself throughout itself, because it eternally can.
The fractalisation would be so immensely powerful that dimensions arise into full blown real personal me life stories that come with the option of believing that it is all real. While it isn't. It's just always both real and unreal, at the same time as the same one thing.
Awareness seeing everything and knowing its opposite.
Choosing the preferred route, over and over again. Untill there is a whole vortex of accumulating energies behind all choices. Gaining resolution into life. Causing its opposite to also become evermore clear.
All happening so smoothly that the dreamer is not even capable of remembering that they are the dreamer in their own dream.
The investment so deep, that it can no longer be withdrawn. A momentum sp powerful that they call it "life that is happening".
Where the truth is hidden by so many layers, that contraction and crystalisation of all its light is no longer retractable, ultimately fracturing into dissolution.

Dum dum dum...
I am a combyootor multeeble choice progrem. Yeb yeb. COMBYOOTOR.
