Techie
Techies are the tinkerers and fixers of the Cyberpunk world, always ready to disassemble and reassemble anything that crosses their path. With screwdrivers and wrenches always at hand, they can solve any technical problem—whether it's a downed computer, a malfunctioning hydrogen burner, or a glitchy interface plug. Their skills are essential in a world where few understand how technology truly works. While fixing everyday items pays the bills, real money comes from big jobs: illegal weapons, stolen cybertech, corporate espionage gear, and gadgets like thermite bombs and hunter-killer robots. Successful Techies reinvest their earnings into new gadgets and hardware, always looking for innovative applications. However, their black market work also earns them enemies, necessitating strong defense systems and occasionally calling in favors from Solos.
