Rodrigo works for the Trauma Team, having worked his way up from the evacuation squadron when he graduated school to assistant EMT, until recently when he finally made full EMT. While still in school however, he began offering medical assistance to injured members of the Valentinos, where he earned cred as a competent medic. Rodrigo also moonlights as a Ripperdoc (wherein he found his passion) from a makeshift clinic in the gang’s territory during his downtime from work.

Rodrigo is reserved but not necessarily quiet. Hailing from Latino heritage, he knows when to speak up so he’s heard and isn’t afraid to stand up for himself, others, or what he believes in, but prefers to keep to himself. While he has a large family, and an even larger network of the close-knit community that make up the Valentinos, Rodrigo is socially reserved. He has great affection for his extended family, both blood and not, but he’s never established close relations outside of his mother, her closest sister and one of his cousins.

Introverted, he takes joy in tinkering and has a focused drive that can keep him entertained with his special interests for hours. Likely a contender for undiagnosed ADHD, Rodrigo is rarely still. Even when focused on projects, he fidgets, often shaking his leg, chewing on something, or constantly running a pen through his fingers (he’s no longer allowed the use of clicker pens). As a concentration aid, Rodrigo listens to loud music while working, and will use any utensils at his disposal to beat accompanying rhythms onto free surfaces around him. 

Raised by a single mother who has the support of a larger family behind her, he was taught his manners early on, and is respectful and conscientious. He enjoys dark humor though and can become caustic or sarcastic if he’s not watching himself.

Rodrigo feels a level of satisfaction and pride with what he’s accomplished in life and the difference he’s making in the lives he’s able to touch. While critical of the way Mega-Corps run society (particularly when it comes to healthcare), he was able to get to where he is because of their assistance, and he doesn’t believe great levels of change could ever spawn from someone in a position such as his. As such, he devotes himself to doing the small amount he can.

[i]Easily distracted.[/i] There are numerous thoughts, fancies, or plans floating around his mind at any one time. He is also likely to get random inspiration from things in his visual field which will lead to innumerable ideas taking shape in his mind. Unless something is truly captivating, it likely will not have his full attention.

[i]Hyperfixation.[/i] On the opposite side of the coin, Rodrigo can become hyperfocused, and while this can have a positive aspect, it more often than not manifests in a negative light. When something begins to go wrong, he is prone to spiraling into the worst possible outcomes and once he’s descended into the pits, it takes a herculean effort to get him out.

[i]Empathetic.[/i] Rodrigo cares about others and is able to understand both where they come from and how they got there from few conversations. This is helpful in his line of work, where it takes a more physical approach, but he can tap into this awareness emotionally as well.

[i]Genuine.[/i] An authentic soul, he does not feel the need to display anything other than what is truly expressing itself within him. As such, he tends to believe that others are doing the same, and this coupled with his empathy may lead him to make mistakes in his assumptions of others if they are skilled deceivers.

Originating from humble beginnings, Rodrigo was raised by a single mom in the heart of the Valentinos territory. She shared very little information about his father, other than that it’s best he is out of their lives for good. There were some hints at abuse, but Rodrigo never felt comfortable enough pressing for more information due to the way his mother’s normally congenial nature soured so whenever his father was mentioned. Rodrigo doesn’t even know what the man’s name was, and while curious, he never felt a lack of male representation in his life.

What his mother was open with was her own familial history, using it as a cautionary tale in the hopes of convincing her son to steer clear of gang life. Marisol’s father (Rodrigo’s grandfather) was a member of the Valentinos along with his brother, as well as many other members of their extended family, but it was her father and uncle that tragically lost their lives when she was a young girl due to a rivalry with 6th Street. Marisol’s main hope for her son was that he strive for something greater than what he had been born into. Traumatized by the fact that her father would have been able to survive the incident had there been medical intervention, she urged Rodrigo to pursue medical training.

As a child, Rodrigo adopted his mother’s dream fully and resented family members that were associated with the Valentinos, but their influence and involvement in his life was inescapable. Many had few other options and even he and his mother had to rely on their assistance during the more difficult times. When his mother lost her job and was forced to take on a more active role with the Valentinos, Rodrigo was introduced to both the positives that came with this association, but also the harsher realities of participating in what can at times be a ruthless organization. Paired with the cutthroat nature of life under the Mega-Corporations of Night City, the morally gray reality became clearer than ever.

Many in the Valentinos simply don’t have enough funds to cover adequate insurance and it wasn’t long before Rodrigo was putting his training into action to assist in saving lives. It wasn’t long before this lead to someone reaching out to him for help with their cyberware malfunction, and a fascination with the subject blossomed within him. Rodrigo now owns a small clinic and moonlights as a Ripperdoc during his downtime.

Rodrigo’s cyberpsycho does not have a specific form but instead, is constantly changing (at times having no specific form at all), much like the innumerable thoughts in his mind. It might take the form of a dead patient, what he imagines his father to look like, or any number of different images, human and not. The messages delivered by each manifestation also differ depending on its bringer. One moment he’s a disappointment, not doing enough, and wasting his potential, the next he may be enticed to throw his responsibilities away, dive into the underbelly of what Night City can offer and rake in the eddies.
