Talk:Johnny Silverhand

Real Name
I just skimmed through the Rockerboy sourcebook (and by that I mean I turned the PDF of the book into text and searched inside it), and I can't find any mention of Johnny's real name being Robert John Linder. Is that really the source for it? Mikotoh (talk) 09:29, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know where it was, but it was mentioned in one of the books. Maybe the now deemed non-canon CyberGen or V3.0. But in Cyberpunk 2077 there is his name confirmed. I will fix the reference as I see in the edit history it got jumbled.ArasakaApart (talk) 10:07, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. I ask because I'm editing something on TvTropes related to his dog tags, but I wanted to find a source for his name being Robert John Linder. Like, either way he's misremembering things, but I'm not sure if he's misremembering his real name, or that his buddy took a bullet for him in the war. It's gotta be one or the other.

Johnny in the War
While in in the war, John's life was saved by a friend who died protecting him.

Is this from one of the sourcebacks, or is this based solely on Johnny's claim about his dog tags belonging to someone else? Because if it's the latter, it probably isn't true. Mikotoh (talk) 05:03, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Just from the game, I think. Although in one of the TTRPG books, CyberGeneration maybe (so it's not considered part of the canon), it is said he had likely taken his name from a friend who died in the war. It's a little over the place, yeah. --Ryon21 Ryon21 Signature Image.png (talk) 10:00, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
