Rebecca kiwi Pillar Dorian Maine Lucy

Who was Maine? Maine is an important figure throughout the series, not only for the series itself, but also for David, as a role model who taught him about a just world that he thought was so far away. While trying to form his own crew in Night City, Maine became interested in a woman named Dorio Gunnarsdóttir. He followed her for several days as she stalked a gangoon and saved her life after failing to kill it, recruiting her for his crew. He also befriended Falco when he arrived in Night City, and the two worked together on occasion, though the nomad never joined his crew.

During the following years, Maine recruited more people, including Pilar and her sister Rebecca, and netrunners Sasha Yakovleva and Kiwi. As a veteran edgerunner in Night City, Maine dreamed of success, though he valued his friendship with his team more than glory.

Death of Maine and Dorio Maine and Dorio faced off, back to back, against a combined NCPD and Trauma Team. However, as the fight raged on, Maine suffered a full-blown cyberpsychotic breakdown, unable to distinguish between friend and foe, shooting indiscriminately before ultimately dying in an explosion.

Becoming an edgerunner After being chipped in, David — while still expelled — returned the following day to the academy, in search of a rematch with Katsuo. Using his Sandevistan implant, David, with ease, floored Katsuo with a single blow to the head and broke his nose. Once David returned home, he stared at the urn holding his mother's ashes, when he received a call from the academy's principal. The principal told David that his expulsion had been formally processed, but before the principal could end his sentence, David ended the conversation. The next morning, making his way to the academy, David noticed that the mysterious girl was aboard the NCART train, stealing shards from unsuspecting corporate employees on their way to City Center. The woman — named Lucy — also attempted to take David's shards but was quickly intercepted by David using his implant. David grasped Lucy's arm, which she shrugged off and instead took him with her to the end of the cart, interrogating David on why he was messing with her “job.” After a short discussion, the two came to an agreement to work together, resulting in Lucy taking on David as her trainee, splitting their earnings seventy-to-thirty. After a short confrontation with an ambulance worker who wanted to steal David's Sandevistan to sell on the black market, David stays the night at Lucy's apartment, where she tells him about her dream of leaving Night City to live on the moon, sharing a braindance with him. The two bond during this experience, but while David is asleep, Lucy calls her team of mercenaries to her apartment. Maine, Dorio, and Pilar arrive and confront David about the stolen Sandevistan, which Gloria had originally planned to sell to Maine. David, revealing that Gloria had died and demonstrating an extreme tolerance for cyberware, is given a chance to join their group, on the condition that he proves himself in a small-scale data heist. Although David's initiation heist goes south, Maine welcomes him

Early Life: David Martinez was born to Gloria Martinez, who raised him by herself. His father is not mentioned in the series. David grew up on the streets of Santo Domingo, living out of an apartment of Megabuilding H4 in Arroyo. Due to his mother putting great effort into her job as an EMT for Night City health services, David was eligible for enrollment into the Arasaka Academy, which is located in Corpo Plaza. After joining the academy, David began selling XBDs to classmates that he obtained from a ripperdoc and friend of his nicknamed Doc. A Day in the life: One night, David watched a new illegal braindance that Doc obtained from editor Jimmy Kurosaki. The braindance contained the death of the former New United States Armed Forces Lt. Col. James Norris, who went cyberpsycho a couple hours prior. The following day, after finding his mother sleeping on the couch, the two talked about money problems regarding his school expenses and watched the news of Norris' death, which included David's mother carrying the body. He caught a glimpse of a young woman on his way to school, who disappeared when he tried to approach her. During that day's class, his outdated braindance wreath spiked his classmates' wreaths due to David having Doc install a faulty software update to save money. This caused an outrage among the students, Katsuo Tanaka in particular, the son of Tanaka, a high Arasaka executive. After the incident, David and his mother met with the academy's principal, who suggested that David could benefit from a change of environment, as he does not fit in with his wealthier classmates. Gloria agreed to pay any monetary damages created. While driving home, the two of them became bystanders in an Animals assault on an Arasaka corporate vehicle, crashing into the vehicle after it was blown up by a rocket. David saw his mother lying motionless on the road after regaining consciousness. Trauma Team arrived shortly after, but ignored them for not being insured

Cyberpsychosis

Cyberpsychosis is a fictional dissociative mental illness. caused by an excess of cybernetic implants. Those affected, called "cyberpsychos," lose empathy, suffer from a disconnection from reality, and a disregard for life, often with violent outbursts. It is a metaphor for technological dehumanization.

Key characteristics of cyberpsychosis: Causes: It stems from an overload of cybernetic enhancements (cyberware) in the body, leading to a loss of personal identity and dissociation.

Symptoms: Cyberpsychos view humans as inferior or weak, show indifference toward their loved ones, and may suffer violent outbursts, with anger being their primary emotion.

Risk factors: The more cybernetic enhancements a person has, the greater the risk of cyberpsychosis. People with less empathy or greater emotional instability are more susceptible.

After Tanaka's abduction, Maine would begin to experience mental issues due to his overreliance on cyberware. Dorio would implore Maine to downgrade in order to improve his condition, but Maine was in denial of the situation and refused to consider it. Maine's personality would degrade and he would experience his first episode of cyberspychosis, during which he would attack Kiwi, removing his cyberware jaw before becoming lucid again. Dorio summoned Lucy and David to discuss Maine's deteriorating condition and his risk of cyberpsychosis. David then spoke with Maine privately, resulting in Maine being hostile.

David would return to Lucy's side to guard her during her deep dive into Tanaka's brain. She would uncover her usually carefully hidden deep dive port. David would inquire about it, but quickly drop the subject as he took Lucy's silence for discomfort.

After being injected with several drugs, Maine would become Lucid again. Dorio and Maine returned to David and Lucy's side, just in time to witness Tanaka flatlining. The jammer for Maine's crew was also fried at the same time, forcing Maine's crew to react as Trauma Team was incoming. Dorio would see Lucy's connection to the deep dive. David would pull Lucy's unconscious body from her deep dive ice bath and flee with Lucy's unconscious body to a downstairs car while Maine took Tanaka's resurrected body to use as a meat shield during the incoming confrontation. Dorio would remain at Maine's side. Maine and Dorio would stand back to back and confront a combination of the NCPD and Trauma Team. However, as the fighting continued, Maine would finally break down into full cyberpsychosis, losing full touch with reality and turning on Dorio, killing her with a gun during a full blown episode.

Lucy would quickly regain consciousness and beg David to flee with her, but David chose to return to Maine in an attempt to save him.

Maine entered another period of lucidity and understood he was at fault for Dorio's death

extras

David doesn't like carbonated drinks, In Cyberpunk 2077, a cocktail dedicated to him can be purchased in the Afterlife, honoring his legacy. The cocktail is topped off with NiCola Classic, despite David not liking carbonated drinks. David's one-in-a-million, high tolerance for cyberware is a result of a high Humanity stat and a supportive environment (such as a relatively secure life and loving associates) that buffered — to a point — the repercussions that lead to cyberpsychosis

David Martinez David Martinez was an American teenager of Latino descent. He had light brown eyes and dark brown hair that he wore in a quaffed hairstyle, with the sides shaved. At the start of the series, he had a thin athletic build, but developed a heavier build over time. David's typical style was Kitsch, sporting a black t-shirt, two golden chain necklaces (one with a cross), gray cropped sweatpants with two yellow straps on the sides, and white tennis shoes with blue straps. Later on, he started to wear his mother's yellow EMT jacket, which had a blue luminescent collar on the inside of the material, and a green logo painted on the back.

David gradually added more implants to his body, becoming taller and more muscular. While keeping his overall outfit intact, he no longer wore a black shirt, preferring to remain bare-chested when not covered by the EMT jacket
