Samurai (Cyberpunk 2020)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samurai is a fictional band fronted by the character Johnny Silverhand in the Cyberpunk 2020 role-playing game.

• Johnny Silverhand (guitarist and singer): An flashy and cynical Rockerboy singer and guitarist with a silver-chrome cyberlimb arm. He opposes the Arasaka Corporation for a grocery list of personal grudges from the loss of his arm to the death of many of his close friends and family. He is friends with noted solo Morgan Blackhand and also is the ex-boyfriend of the "deceased" Alt Cunningham.

• Kerry Eurodyne (bass guitarist and singer): A somewhat more idealistic Rockerboy who has promoted his political and anti-corporate opinions through the recognized media rather than through direct action. A single father with one daughter (Kelvie), he took this option in order to protect his child, although many other rockers consider him to be a sellout because of it. (He was also sick of sharing the limelight with Silverhand, who he considered to be amoral and untalented).

• Bes Isis (keyboardist and composer): A talented musician and technician, Bes was often caught between Silverhand and Eurodyne in their ego conflicts and personal feuds, but she continued to work with both of them on their various projects. She later became an influential Media personality after she realized that Samurai would never get back together.

• Rogue (security staff and personal bodyguard to Silverhand): A skilled Solo, Rogue was in a relationship with Johnny Silverhand. She broke it off when Johnny's ex-girlfriend Alt Cunningham "died", as she found she couldn't compete with Johnny's memories of her.

Samurai broke up and the two singers split off to form their own bands after Silverhand used a free concert to create the bloody Arasaka Towers Riot of 2013 to cover the ill-fated extraction of Alt Cunningham from Arasaka's arcology in Night City.
