β Highly intelligent - able to put together stories based on evidence & deduce leads
β Researcher - built to literally doxx people, able to uncover even obscure evidence

Fashionware
Light Tattoo x3
Subdermal patches store light and project colored tattoos under the skin. All three combine to make a star map of the stars that should be visible above Night City (but aren't thanks to light pollution), it is hard to see in bright light and during the day if its sunny but in the darkness it glows an almost white blue.
Cyberaudio
Amplified Hearing
User adds +2 to their Perception Skill for Checks which include hearing.
Voice Stress Analyzer
Provides +2 to Human Perception (insight, for D&D players) and Interrogation checks. Can activate a special lie-detecting mode.
Cybereye (L)
MicroVideo
Camera in eye that records audio and video to linked Agent.
MicroOptics
Provides up to 400x magnification.
Neuralware
Reflex Co-Processor
Assists the Neural Link in its processing duties, freeing it up to focus entierly on enhancing the user's reflexes.
Internal Body Cyberware
Subdermal Armor
User's body and head are armored at SP11. Regenerate SP1 each day you're not in combat.
Trauma Response Nanomatrix (x2)
For each Trauma Response Nanomatrix installed, fully regenerate Subdermal Armor SP once per day.
For those of you familiar with D&D or Pathfinder, please be aware that Cyberpunk RED is a d10 system that is more skill-based than dice-based. For example: with a skill score of +14, the only real feasible way to fail a regular skill check is to roll a natural 1 on the d10. The idea is to level up your character and make them VERY good at what you want them to be good at, and then use the dice for things that maybe they aren't so skilled at. In addition, 8 is the highest score you can typically pick for stats during character creation unless the GM knows what they are doing and chooses not to follow that RAW.
Role: Media
Max HP: 40
Humanity: 50/60
Role Ability: Credibility
The Media not only can convince an audience of what they publish, but also has a larger audience the more credible they are. They also have greater levels of access to sources and information. Media are also in the know and pick up on rumors passively.
Rumors
Twice a week the GM will secretly roll the Credibility Rank + 1d10. If the Check beats any of the DVs on the Rumor Table's Passive column, the GM will clue the Media in on the highest DV rumor which their Check beat. These are the same rumors tha a Media might find by hitting The Street. When a Media is actively looking for a rumor like this, they roll appropriate STAT + relevant Skill + 1d10 against the DV on the Active column the GM has set for the rumor based on how detailed it is.
Vague Rumor | Hazy. Bare minimum information of where to begin. | 7 Passive / 13 Active
Typical | You know the next place to be. You have an idea of the truth. | 9/15
Substantial | Contains concrete information that's useful, such as names, places, times. | 11/17
Detailed | Substatial + if info is verified becomes evidence that can be used in story. | 13/21
Publishing Stories or Scoops
Access/Sources represents those you can reasonably get in touch with/interview or otherwise gain information from.
Audience is how many people your stories or exposes can reach.
Believability is how well your story goes over with the audience. The higher your Credibility, the more likely people will believe something you have written or broadcast. You roll 1d10 based on your Believability when you publish a story and any time you wnt to find out whether an individual or group believes your story. For 1 piece of verifiable evidence, add +1; if 4+ distinct pieces of evidence then +2 (they do stack). LUCK cannot be spent on this.
Impact is how much change any individual story or revelation you publish has on your audience. Once you publish a story/scoop you cannot publish another story on the same exact topic unless you have new information to add to the conversation.
