Character Creation in Cyberpunk 2077 refers to the customization process that enables players to create a unique protagonist for the game. Players will play Cyberpunk 2077 as V, a character with a set identity and overarching story, but may select from a variety of options, from aesthetics to V's Lifepath choices, to fully customize this character - and these initial selections will affect gameplay. 

A full character creation and customization system in Cyberpunk 2077 allows players to create a character all their own. Players will be able to customize their version of V as much as they like, choosing gender, body type, skin color, hair color and style, adding varying facial attributes, and even picking tattoos and makeup.

Beyond the aesthetic, Cyberpunk 2077's Character Creator asks players to create V's backstory and decide on their previous life events. All players will begin the game as an up and coming mercenary in Night City, but what happened before then is up to the player. From decisions such as background and birth record to life events, such as 'ran away from home' or 'death of a sibling', every choice the player makes may affect how the game plays out, from Side Quests that become available to players with certain backstories, to appearances or life histories that cause NPCs to react to the player differently as they move through Night City.

Nomad

Roaming the Badlands, looting scrapyards, raiding fuel depots - life on the road wasn't easy. But growing up in a nomad clan has its perks. Honesty, integrity, and a love of freedom - qualities that few in Night City possess, and no amount of money can buy.

Streetkid

They say if you wonna understand the streets, you gotta live 'em, Gangs, fixers, dolls, small-time pushers - you were raised by them all. Down here the law of the jungle dictates the weak serve the strong - the only law in Night City you have vet to break.

Corpo

Few leave the corporate world with their lives - fewer still with their souls intact, You´ve been there - you've bent the rules, exploited secrets, and weaponized information. There's no such thing as a fair game, only winners and losers.

  

 

Set V's Appearance

This tab of the Character Creator in Cyberpunk 2077 gives players the opportunity to customize the head and face of their character.

Attributes or Primary Stats

During character creation you're going to get 7 points available to spend into your character. You can't put them all into one attribute, but you're going to be able to spread them across the five Attributes or Primary Stats which are Body, Intelligence, Reflexes, Technical Ability and Cool.

Attributes or Primary Stats are locked in once committed to and play a huge part in how your character performs. Every attribute passively influences your character be it with stats, what you can equip or with conversational checks wherein you'll have an extra option available to you during conversations based on your attribute being over a certain threshold. 

Each Attribute contains a set of Skills. Both Attributes and Skills provide different bonuses depending on your style of play. Skill levels increase as you perform activities associated them.
The maximum level of a Skill is limited by the level of the Attribute that it belongs to.

Intelligence represents the player's knowledge, hacking and netrunning abilities, while Reflexes govern the player's combat and driving skills and prowess. The Tech stat provides the character's skill with crafting and knowledge of various hardware, and Cool represents the character's willpower and interpersonal skills: how they present themselves to others, and how they are received. 

Unspent Attribute Points will be lost and will not carry over into the game.
