Rockerboy
In the dynamic world of Cyberpunk, the Rockerboy stands as a pivotal figure, a paragon of inspiration and artistic revolution. This role harnesses the power of art, in its myriad forms, be it music or other creative expressions, to galvanize the masses. The Rockerboy's mandate is clear: to use their artistry and expression to connect deeply with people, to amass a following, and to become a figure of notoriety or infamy, as they prefer. Their influence is potent enough to alter campaigns, reshape narratives, and even incite upheavals. A Rockerboy wields their art to sway hearts and minds, yet this path is fraught with adversaries - corporations, rival gangs, other Rockerboys, and local authorities. A Rockerboy must brace for a litany of foes, an inevitable consequence of their widespread fame and efforts to rally others to their cause.
Key to the Rockerboy's arsenal is the 'Charismatic Impact,' a unique ability that empowers them to sway fans through sheer force of personality. The game master determines the predisposition of each encountered individual towards being a fan, and this ability enables the Rockerboy to convert others into loyal followers. This influence is quantified through a combination of the Charismatic Impact score and a d10 roll, with varying difficulty levels based on the size of the target group. Success in these endeavors grants the Rockerboy favors within the realm of the game master's discretion and in line with their rank in this special ability.
However, failure in these attempts results in no gain of support. For a Rockerboy, prioritizing two key attributes is crucial: 'Cool' and 'Empathy'. These stats are instrumental due to the role's heavy emphasis on social interactions. Additionally, I advise focusing on three skill categories: Social Skills, Performance Skills, and Body Skills. The latter is essential, as Rockerboys often subject themselves to extreme conditions and substances, pushing boundaries that others may shy away from. Above all, the quintessential qualities of a Rockerboy are exceptional performance skills and an innate ability to connect with people.
