David

David Martinez is the protagonist of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a gifted teenager from Santo Domingo who becomes a mercenary after his mother's death. He installs a military-grade Sandevistan, joins Maine's crew, and rises rapidly through Night City while believing he can withstand more cyberware than ordinary people.

Who David is in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Defiant, loyal, ambitious, self-sacrificing, and increasingly reckless, David inherits other people's dreams but neglects the cost to his own body. His cyberware grants extreme speed, strength, reaction time, heavy weapons, and eventually an advanced cyberskeleton, while repeated upgrades drive cyberpsychosis.
