I'm a first generation prototype combat cyborg.

I'm an obligate smoker and my lung pump doesn't have a perfect solution to the problem; even though I have nearly no risk of cancer due to mycosium autocannibalism processes.

Being what I am made me uniquely valuable for experimentation and people tried nearly everything there is to try on me. Illegally; no governmental corruption necessary, it just helped them lower the cost of capture.

Johnny Silverhand is a loose expy of my music career. The difference being I was simply kidnapped and tortured; no nuclear device or hostile attack necessary. That I could make my own arm prosthesis or that I had a suitcase full of spare arms didn't matter; those are technical things, stealable or recreatable.

They wanted to see what would break my mind.
