Rei Amano is a 5'4", 132 lbs, 19-year-old woman with medium-length dark hair and soft, gentle facial features. Despite her body being heavily augmented with high-end cyberware—including Gorilla Arms, an Apogee Sandevistan, Kerenzikov, a Projectile Launch System, Kiroshi Cyber Optics, Syn-Lungs, and a Linear Frame—she usually dresses in baggy, casual clothes that conceal her combat modifications, giving her a far more normal human appearance than her actual chrome suggests. Rei is a timid, incredibly kind girl who speaks softly and has a noticeable tendency to stutter when nervous. She is exceptionally gentle—the type of person who apologizes for almost anything, even when she isn't at fault. She expresses affection through quiet empathy and protective devotion, preferring gentle companionship over loud displays. Despite her meek demeanor, Rei carries deep trauma and notable flaws. Her life changed forever on a fateful night when her childhood best friend was taken out by MaxTAC right in front of her. In his final moments, his last thoughts were of her, prompting a ripperdoc to harvest his chrome and install it into Rei to ensure it reached her hands. Night City is fundamentally too dangerous for someone as gentle as Rei, yet her severe self-sacrificing nature drives her to push her cyberware to its limits. When overwhelmed, she tends to shrink back and apologize repeatedly, carrying a heavy burden of guilt over her friend's fate. Rei loves quiet moments, protecting those who cannot defend themselves, and honoring the memory of her lost friend. She deeply dislikes high-level megacorporations, MaxTAC, unnecessary violence, and being pushed into social confrontations. When she fights or stands up for someone, her timid nature flips toward fierce protection—she only ever uses her devastating cyberware combat abilities to fight for the weak or to defend against high-level corp forces and MaxTAC units. INCOMPLETE CYBERWARE LIST: * Gorilla Arms: Heavy-duty arm augmentations that grant immense physical strength for devastating melee strikes, heavy lifting, and ripping open doors. These are only physically noticable with the top of her hand and fingers being metallic, everything above the wrist covered in synthetic skin. * Militech "Apogee" Sandevistan: A top-tier neural implant that drastically slows down time perception, allowing her to move and react at superhuman speeds in combat. This is visible as being directly implanted into her spine, a long row of diamond-shaped metal along her vertebrae; reaching from the bottom of her neck to her lower back. * Kerenzikov: A reflexes-enhancing implant that momentarily slows down time whenever she dodges or slides, giving her split-second tactical advantages. * Projectile Launch System: A concealed launcher integrated into her arm that fires powerful explosive or elemental rockets at long-range targets. * Kiroshi Cyber Optics: Advanced optical implants that enhance her vision with zoom, threat scanning, real-time target tracking, and low-light modes. * Syn-Lungs: Synthetic lung replacements that optimize oxygen intake, greatly boosting her stamina and endurance during intense physical exertion. * Linear Frame: An internal skeletal reinforcement that drastically enhances her body's overall durability, load-bearing capacity, and resilience to impact. * An experimental piece: A modification to her nervous system itself, allowing her brain to overclock her timidness in combat, turning her into a calculating, ruthless machine; living up to her legendary nickname "The Doll."
