Rhodey Gomez.

His mother [Holly] was from England and his father [Danilo] from Mexico, he was raised by them together in Missoula, Montana.

He is an only child but had a pretty big family on both sides, he spent a lot of time in Mexico with his father's family. Meaning that he was always around other children and people growing up, so he might as well have been a sibling. His childhood was pretty carefree and he learned to ride dirtbikes at 15, learned to bake and cook, learned to sew and enjoys putting together photo albums for his friends. Rhodey has always been considered a class clown and doesn't take himself too seriously - sometimes playing up how 'dumb' he is to get people to underestimate him.

His interests include hunting and fishing, taking roadtrips with his friends, dirtbiking, helicopter piloting, watching reruns of 80s sitcoms and watching 80s-2000s anime, such as Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragon Ball Z and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Rhodey is also pretty open about his relationships, being interested in both men and women and also enjoying sex for fun. He's never concerned about being considered 'easy' or a slut, embracing part of it for jokes.

Nowadays, Rhodey works as a rookie deputy after being promoted from highway officer. He got into the job after his parents passed away after a car accident, he's very versatile and easy-going, making him a pretty relaxed officer.

Rhodey started his life in Montana, living with his family as agricorp farm workers. As he grew up, the more he drifted away from the agricorp and normal farm life and instead drifted to nomad life.

It felt natural and more freeing to be with the nomad clans instead, joining the Whitetails as a young teenager. They became an extension of his family, his mother and father also being a part of the fold outside of farm work. Being a part of the clan introduced him to more skills to learn and to the core group of people that would stick with him for the rest of his life - even when they were no longer around him physically.

Rhodey lost his arm in an off-road buggy accident, leading to him getting his first (and rather ill-fitting) cyber arm.

Around his early 20s, a rogue scav clan started to encroach on the Whitetail territory and some of the corp farms in the county. Not afraid to kill and steal, the much smaller Whitetail clan had no choice but to fight or be pushed out by the scavs.

After the death of his parents and clan father figure, the dissolving and moving on of the clan and the takeover of the scav clan, Rhodey starts moving around on his own, taking odd jobs similar to his original nomad roots, he ends up in Night City. Joining the NCPD was the next step for him, he gets his new updated chrome - including a throat mod for amplifying his voice and a new arm that fits far better than the old one he had from the nomad days.

Years later, feeling disillusioned with the NCPD and the corruption, Rhodey leaves the force and decides to become an edgerunner and PI, using the access to the NCPD database to his advantage - also branching out to doing what he really loves - JoyToy and BD work. Along the way, he's double booked for a job and meets his future best friend, roommate and fixer, Barun (aka B).

Because of B, Rhodey eventually meets his netrunner and partner, Adrian.

In this AU, Rhodey takes the place of V.

Trials:

Rhodey is a Prime Asset known as The Stalker. His trials consist of dark claustrophobic mazes with the objective of teaching reagents to be stealthy and to take things without being noticed. Stalker has the ability to squeeze into tight spaces and climb up over walls and tall co-op walls.

Prior to being a Prime Asset, he was involved with Project Lathe (I) as a security guard that had his mind broken by continuous second hand exposure to therapy. This causes him to hear voices in static and obsess over someone that doesn't exist. As part of Project Lathe (II) he is manipulated into projecting the obsession onto countless reagents that get put into his testing environment, making him the perfect hazard to avoid.

His body modifications - artificially hyperextendable joints - make it so he is comfortable in many different positions and situations and can easily maneuver through environments, getting into places that reagents would deem safe if it were other Prime Assets and Experimenal Population.

Due to his fixations, Stalker is volatile, provocative and mentally unstable, making him hard to handle for even seasoned Murkoff staff. To be closer to his obsessions, he will do anything necessary - including consuming them.

Outlast 1:

Rhodey is once again Stalker and once again a victim of accidental exposure to Murkoff's experiments.

An ex guard with too much exposure to the Morphogenic Engine, Stalker hears the voices in the static and believes in the Walrider, having unconditional love for it and believing it loves him back. His goal, like Father Martin, is to lead Miles to the engine and to the Walrider. To have Miles be the host to his love, whom he worships like a god.

This leads him to be obsessed with Miles.

He tests Miles, making sure he's a good enough host for his Walrider, leading to a couple of violent encounters, but otherwise, he's just a nuisance and serves to scare and traumatize Miles.

Stalker also uses his charm to get around the asylum, having encounters that are either sexually charged or violent in nature.

Unlike Father Martin, Rhodey doesn't believe that Walrider is a god - just that it's godlike. He thinks Martin is far too delusional and simple minded to understand the true intentions of his lover, though he wouldn't be able to tell you what those intentions were if he was asked.
