Kerry Eurodyne is a rockerboy from Night City and, by many accounts, America's god of rock. In the old days he played guitar beside Johnny Silverhand in the band Samurai. When the two drifted apart, he launched a solo career that is still going strong, for all its ups and downs. He is proud of his Filipino roots and very private about his life. His side jobs follow an ageing star through rage, doubt and a last tour with his old band. He is a romance option for a V with a male body.
Biography
Samurai
Kerry founded Samurai with his best friend Johnny Silverhand. Both wanted to change the world through music, but they often fought over how. Kerry tried to leave the band more than once to start a solo career, and each time his tangled friendship with Johnny pulled him back. In the end it was Johnny who left, and the band fell apart. Kerry went back to his roots in the Philippines to recover, then returned to music determined to step out of Johnny's shadow. The two also secretly owned a club in Night City together.
The Solo Star
Kerry married and had two children, but the marriage ended badly, and his former wife took the house, the cars and the children. His attempts to stay close to his son and daughter usually go wrong. By the time of the game, he lives alone in a villa in North Oak, surrounded by gold records and press clippings. His label is waiting for a new album that will not come, and the critics call his work tired. Rumours say a bodyguard once took a gun from him just in time to stop him from ending his life. He still visits a guru in the Philippines every few years to find peace.
Johnny Returns
The news about Kerry draws Johnny's attention. He takes over V's body and breaks into Kerry's villa, playing an old guitar to announce himself. Once Kerry accepts that his friend is back, the two go out together as in the old days, and the night ends in chaos. Through Johnny, Kerry also meets Henry and Denny again, and the reunion of Samurai brings up old wounds and old songs.
Later Kerry learns that a Japanese pop group called Us Cracks is touring with a cover of one of his songs without asking him. Fearing he will fall into someone's shadow again, he hires V for revenge in true Night City style. Over the following jobs, V helps him through his anger and his creative block, and helps him decide what kind of artist he wants to be.
