Anyway, since Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be the oldest verse here - a new synopsis is in order.

A former Arasaka prodigy, she spent most of her time growing up in the arms of the Academy. Hailed as a prodigy, her netrunning skills are second to none, if she continued on Sayuri would have become a corporate legacy within no time. Most, if not all her implants are throwbacks to those former glory days or so many of her corpo allies would say. At the age of eighteen, she faked her death && lives under the alias, Ryūjin. It’s been rumored she has no understanding of her former surname nor will she allude to it, proclaiming whoever that girl was, she is dead. Most of her territory is within Westbrook, particularly Japantown, though she holds onto all of the region by proxy. She is a competitive woman that sought her claim as a fixer through her former career; a BD actress that specialized in grindhouse movies. Yes, everyone && no one has seen Sayuri in some shape or form. She is constantly swapping faceplates, thus it is easy for her to evade detection altogether. Her work is considered top of the line, premium, easily tapping into thousands && millions worth. If one decides to speak with her more in depth, she will remark it’s been a long time since she recognized herself in a mirror, but she’s never changed her eyes since then she would be lost forever.

How intense is her reconstruction? Here are the finer details of each implant

Multiple face plates, currently sporting a rather infamous gravure model’s look, during her days as a villainess in BD’s she had a personal faceplate created && trademarked.

Rippers, rose gold claws

Full body sculpt, outer epidermis is enhanced to make lacerations difficult - covered in a soft subtle sheen

Nanowire, a relic from her days with Arasaka

Deep dive port, she covers it primarily with her hair opting for medium to longer lengths so it remains secretive

She is frequently seen within the Afterlife, during the prologue, Sayuri can be seen ordering sake bombs for her own crew. By Act Two, her office can be found within a smoky karaoke den where she jokes, there is no way in hell she would let anyone know her actual location. While remaining competitive edge, she often breaks deals with other fixers, though this is to secure her position as an elite employer. High paying jobs that are worth the risk, it’s something she prides herself in but will rescue anyone in her crew that is in danger, safety is important to her. Personal items often showcase she has a pension for fast cars && bikes, loves disco && dancing, her former cyberdeck is covered in vintage stickers from old bands no one remembers. There is also a hint she still holds onto her traditional roots as she is prone to being superstitious && seemed to speak with Sandayu Oda on a regular basis before her vanishing, even remarking they sparred a few times - she won, naturally.

#cyberpunk 2077 verse tbt.#// there is an edgerunner option still kinda ehHHh about what to do for phantom liberty #// I do love the thought of Oda and Sayuri being the same age #// but they'd kill each other on sight since well corpo life is rough #––– ❛ headcanons 【 shoganai 】

KIM KITSURAGI - “Is that. My kineema.”

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Something in him is about to break, *big time*.

EMPATHY - And it’s not going to be pretty, do something!

- DRAMA [Formidable] - Everything is fine!

- “Sure is.”

DRAMA [Formidable: Failure] - Surely he’s aware that he’s not the *only* person in the world who owns a Kineema?

YOU - “Is it really *yours*? I mean, plenty of people have their own Kineemas, right? Like working men, government offices, uh, firefighters I guess, maybe even animal control people? Exactly! A million different people who could’ve driven it into the uh…”

DRAMA - Pause, my liege! Ixnay on the Ineemakay!

YOU - “It could even be our *mysterious* joyrider!”

KIM KITSURAGI - Your frenzied babbling falls deaf to the lieutenant's ears. Instead, he approaches the broken vehicle, sunken in the ice. He moves with a caution and gentleness you haven’t seen him display before.

INLAND EMPIRE - It must be cold and lonely down there, in the icy water. Maybe he could sense its sorrow, calling to him…

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - His hands, which are always stiffly placed behind his back, are trembling.

ENDURANCE - This is the shuffle of a tired, tired man.

HALF LIGHT - He’s going to do something drastic because of you. Oh god, terrible! You’re a terrible liar! You can’t look at this, you just can’t!

VOLITION [Formidable: Success] - It's not *you* who drove his kineema into the sea. You have plenty of faults, but this one is decidedly not yours.

KIM KITSURAGI - He kneels down with his head bowed, casting his face in shadow. He plants a hand on the ice to stabilize himself, squinting to get a better view of the motor carriage. “Detective, it says ‘57’ on it.”

YOU - Sweat drips down your brow, and you feel a terrible headache coming. “Maybe our joyrider has an affinity for that number?”

LOGIC - He's not stupid, he knows that it's not that.

KIM KITSURAGI - “57.”

YOU - “What about 57?”, you brace yourself.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Precinct 57.”

YOU - You wince. “Kim, look-”

KIM KITSURAGI - “When I woke up in the Whirling-in-Rags with no memory of what happened during the days before, I've taken note that something of mine has gone missing.” He grits his teeth. "A very. Important. Something."

He runs his hands over his face, messing his already unkempt hair in the process. Regret creeps up on his features. “God. Fuck. They’re going to fire me over this, they’re not going to hear me out.”

EMPATHY - Desperation settles in the lieutenant's tone. Sadly, you find yourself in agreement, even if you don’t want it to be the truth.

YOU - “People are more valuable than machines, Kim.”

KIM KITSURAGI - “Not people like me.” He rasps.

YOU - “…”

KIM KITSURAGI - Before you can say anything more, you fail to notice the lieutenant carefully walking onto the edge of the ice. He looks over the frigid water, a dizzying blue that mirrors and distorts his exhausted face back to him.

YOU - “Kim?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Seconds pass as he looks to be contemplating something. Out of nowhere, he casually takes another step where the ice ends and the sea begins. It happens all too quick for the lieutenant to even voice a call for help— if he even wanted to — his body plunging into the cold water before your eyes.

YOU - “KIM!!!!”
