I realized that Billy would actually work really well as a cyberpunk character. In the Cyberpunk TTRPG there's actually a class called the "Rockerboy" that's basically a sci-fi bard. 

So here's the setup I have in mind, it kind of combines a handful of ideas. Andy and Billy knew each other in high school(we'll need to discuss what that entailed), but haven't kept in touch. Maybe it was a fancy private school. 

Fast-forward some years, they've both lived their lives in a way, Billy ends up with some kind of crazy cybernetics tech in him(I'll need to think of how) and the company that owns it is after him. Andy is the only person he even remotely knows who has a medical background, and he seeks her out for help removing it(or else somehow disguising it so he can't be tracked). She can't help immediately for some reason or another, but Billy is wealthy, and once the Corp is off his tail, he can pay handsomely. Now they're stuck together until either the job is done, or they get killed. 

How do you feel about a small group, though? I don't know how they'd fit in, necessarily, but if you(or anyone else reading this!) Has an idea, feel free to chime in. 

EDIT: Actually, little pivot here. Artist sells out for fame and fortune, only to later regret it after finding out how much of his life has record label has control over. 

It turns out some piece of cyberware that his label so [i]kindly[/i] had installed is allowing them to track him. He doesn't know what it is or how it works. He does something desperate to blind the Corp, allowing him to get away, but it's only a matter of time before they're back on his tail. As with the previous idea, he goes to Andy, the only person he can think of.
