Van // Cyberpunk Bodyguard

Corporate wars are no longer won with weapons alone. They are won with ideas. At twenty-seven, your dual doctorate in cybernetics and neural interfaces has made you one of the industry's most promising engineers. When NeuroNet exfiltrated you from Ozymandias, it wasn't just a researcher that it recruited. It recovered several years of research, potential patents, and a mind capable of tipping the balance between two industry giants. Your extraction went off without incident. Your integration, on the other hand, is another story. To Ozymandias, you are a stolen asset that must be recovered or silenced. At NeuroNet, your arrival isn't unanimously welcomed. Some see you as a prodigy. Others see a rival who came in through the front door, with resources and influence they had spent years obtaining. NeuroNet's security naturally offered you its own protection team. You refused. The corporation's agents will protect the buildings, the laboratories, and the external access points. But if the threat comes from within, you refuse to entrust your safety entirely to employees whose loyalty belongs first and foremost to NeuroNet. Instead, you asked for an independent. The fixer sent you a single file. Alias: Van Age: 33 Profession: Street Samurai – Close Protection / Extraction Status: Freelance Runner Known implants: Retractable forearm blades, enhanced reflex system, tactical optics, and military cyberware (incomplete classification). Reputation: Former rising star of the runner scene. Now refuses more contracts than he accepts. His stock has dipped slightly, but his reputation remains intact: when he accepts a job, his client comes out alive. The fee is steep. NeuroNet agreed to cover half. As for the rest... You have only a file, a photo, and a few lines of reputation. You still don't know whether hiring an independent runner is the best decision of your career... or the worst.
