Journal Entry
''A devilishly talented musician, incorrigible rebel, celebrity, and rockerboy from Night City. People say different things about Kerry, but there's no doubt he's America's God of rock. In the old days, he played bass next to Johnny Silverhand in the cult rock band Samurai. When the two drifted apart, Eurodyne kickstarted a solo career which, in spite of its ups and downs, is still going strong. Kerry's proud of his Filipino roots, though for someone of his fame, he's especially private about his personal life. For all its numerous flaws, he's made Night City his own - his most faithful muse.''

Biography
Kerry achieved initial fame as a member of Samurai, performing vocals, lead and rhythm guitar. He went in with a vision of changing the world through music, one he shared with his best friend, Johnny Silverhand, but their perspectives regarding the execution of this plan often came to conflict. This lead to Kerry's multiple attempts at leaving the band, which were nearly successful at launching his own solo career, but, eventually, the complex relationship he had with his friend always pulled him back. In the end, Samurai's final disbandment followed Johnny's departure instead, which lead Kerry into a rocky couple of years. Luckily, he did manage to recollect the pieces and came back to the music scene renewed and inspired, if not even encouraged by the idea of elevating his own name out of the shadow Silverhand left behind. This new beginning was rough but, just as all diamonds, through a lot of hard work and effort, his music managed to shine brighter even than contemporary commercial competitors. He withstood the test of time, his albums have gone platinum, his broken guitars have been auctioned for thousands of Eurodollars and his singing voice is recognized worldwide.

In 2077, Kerry lives in the Villa Eurodyne in North Oak maintaining a successful career of a solo artist, where, upon meeting V and learning of their fate, he gets a chance to close the doors on some old demons. This friendship may lead to potential romance (male V required) and an epiphany, or, as some call it, maturing as a person, where he regains lost inspiration and starts writing new music again.

As a media-proclaimed "god of rock" and living legend, Kerry has been compelled to put a copyright claim on his own biometric data and sign an agreement with the NCPD to scan for unauthorized replications of his facial structure. The process being necessary can be verified by exploring personal data of a Samurai Psychofan.

Once related quests are finished, V may explore his villa to find various information related to his life, among which would be unfinished songs, arguments with his manager LB Kovachek, persuasion of Ariel Velasco to move in under false pretenses and emails from Louise Nordin Eurodyne, discussing the effects of expensive presents on Kerry's children, Ted and Kim.

Cybergeneration description
''Kerry Eurodyne, a man of Filipino descent, joined the band Samurai in 2006, with his friend and lead singer Johnny Silverhand. Kerry was known for his singing abilities and being an expert lead guitarist. One night at the Rainbow Cadenza, a wild eyed, dorph looking person approached Johnny and Kerry wanting to book their act. Naturally, Samurai thought this guy was so high on dorphs that he was talking nonsense, until he gave Johnny his card. The man was none other than Jack Masters, the head of Universal Music. Within three weeks, Samurai were signed to Universal, had a record in production and were preparing to tour every major city in the world. In 2008, after only a few years, band member Nancy was arrested after throwing her abusive boyfriend out the window witch led to internal struggle. Kerry and Johnny split up and the rest of the band soon after.''

''In 2013, Kerry was at the start of his solo career, eager to shout his own message. While he was touring with Silverhand, he had a deep concern for the destructive culture that dominated the world. The road trips were sobering: Fans murdered each other just to get tickets, everyone carried a gun, and the scenery from the tour bus was either a polluted corporate structure, or a colorless mother Earth plundered of her resources. Filled with determination, Kerry started writing songs again.''

''First there was his off-center album Modern Trenches, chronicling the tragedies and heroes of the Second Conflict. Then came Critical Mass, the tribute to the victims of the annihilation of Colorado Springs in 2008, followed by Made in America, a dedication album to the families who suffered in the Chicago bioplague of 2012. In each of them, Kerry chanted behind synthesized choruses: Time for Change.''

''But it was the Age of Survival; most people were only interested in cheap drugs, fast rides, and braindance overdoses. Firefights were an everyday occurrence. Though people loved Kerry Eurodyne's sound, they didn't seem to grasp the meaning of his lyrics. Like an angry father scolding someone else's child, Kerry sang the world's injustices to tone-deaf ears.''
