Last update: 27 October 2020

On this page of the Cyberpunk 2077 guide, you will find a detailed description of creating a new character using the in-game creator.

The character creator in Cyberpunk 2077 is very extensive and allows players to create an original character in terms of appearance and physical characteristics to perfectly match their style of play and reflect the relevant character traits. You will be able to choose, among others, the character's gender, origin, attributes, and appearance. If you want, you can also decide to select one of the pre-made Vs.

Lifepath

When choosing V's origin, you have to keep in mind that in Cyberpunk 2077 some of the events or dialog options may differ depending on your choice. Each of the lifepaths also has its own starting location and story background. Thanks to this solution you can have multiple playthroughs of Cyberpunk 2077 and discover new plotlines or hidden elements each time.

• Nomad
• Streetkid
• Corpo

Nomad

The life of the Nomads has never been one of the easiest. They gain their livelihoods in various ways: wandering around the Badlands, looting scrap yards, robbing fuel depots. The Nomads value sincerity, truth, and family ties the most – qualities that cannot be bought for any money and that few Night City residents have.

Streetkid

Life on the street is not easy and has its own rules – if you want to survive in such difficult conditions, you have to fight for it every day. As a resident of Night City, the Streetkid is very familiar with the criminal world and knows how to speak with gangs and all kinds of criminals.

Corpo

Corporations can make a person lose their feelings and deprive them of their lifes. If you manage to get out of this world, you won't do this unharmed. In a corporation, you do everything to survive and win, because that is all that matters. Bending the rules, using closely guarded secrets, blackmailing and extortion is something common here.

Gender (Body type)

At this stage of creating a new character in Cyberpunk 2077, you can choose whether you want to play as a male or female V. It is worth noting here that the gender of your character can sometimes influence the behavior of other characters you encounter during the game.

Appearance and characteristics

The next step in creating your character in Cyberpunk 2077 is to adjust the appearance and some other additional features. Each customizable element offers several different options or a color palette.

You can modify the following elements.

1. Voice;
2. Skin color and type;
3. Hairstyle and hair color;
4. Eyes and their color;
5. Eyebrows and their color;
6. Nose, ears, mouth, jaw;
7. Genitals, nipples;
8. Piercing;
9. Scars;
10. Tattoos;
11. Teeth;
12. Makeup;
13. Beard;
14. Cyberware;

Attributes

The next step in creating your character in Cyberpunk 2077 is to allocate attribute points in such a way as to best reflect your playing style. It is also worth noting that the attributes are closely related to specific skills and character statistics.

Character development in Cyberpunk 2077 is based on 6 basic attributes. While creating your character, you can distribute the available points by using the plus and minus buttons.

1. Body: defines your character's physical strength. In addition to being able to break the door, each point assigned to this attribute gives V 5 health and 3 stamina points, increases fists and blades damage, and reduces the movement penalty when carrying heavy weapons and grappling enemies;
2. Intelligence: defines your character's proficiency in Netrunning. Each point assigned to this attribute increases RAM of your cyberdeck, damage caused by quick hacking and its duration;
3. Reflexes: defines the character's agility, speed of movement, and chance to avoid attacks. It also increases the chance of a critical hit as well as the damage caused by Mantis Blades;
4. Technical Ability: this attribute represents the character's technical knowledge, and thus influences the ability to unlock doors and use Tech weapons. Additionally, it increases character's armor;
5. Cool: defines the character's cool and effectiveness in hiding. It also increases critical damage, resistances, damage dealt with stealth attacks, and monowire damage.
