Questionable Questing

I'm talking more the high end ones like Smasher or Black Hand, but yeah the very existence of gangs and edge runner's is definitive proof the corpo's don't control everything. Its why i think something like Deus Ex or Cruelty Squad are much more bleak and fitting with the theme's than Cyberpunk 2077 ever was.

How so more fitting?

David's path is very similar to his mom's, in that they both discover this alien culture and world just beyond their grasp hidden from, they explore it, learn it, form connections and relationship with the demons in it, and in the proccess are changed so much that they can't function as apart of normal society anymore and are reborn apart of this new world.

But the main difference between the two is that david is much more confrontational and a lot more sneaky around the demons than Gloria is.

Oh? How do so qnd a male demon mentor for him or demon buddy gang?

With Deus Ex and cruelty squad, the control of the corpo's is literatly omnipresent. There is no gangs or plucky hero's trying to fight the system and in deus Ex most people aren't even aware of just how much control the corpo's have, instead choicing to believe a lie because its easier.

The corpo's are free to manipulate and change event with a flick of their fingers and only lose thanks to their arrogance and self destructive natures. It's a lot more bleak and a lot more philosophical about society and people's natures if that makes sense.

I'm still debating if david should get his own mentor or share the same one with his mom.

If same one, different sides to her? A Lilith and eve situation with demon mom being two aspects of a greater demon goddess?

And in cyberpunk it might be the cyber tech and hacking are too wide spread to be fully controlled

Have Transformers IDW comics

They have politics and religion and funerals

It always cracks me up that Transformer a franchise made by the suits in charge with the explicit goal of selling toy trucks, was made by the writers into something this complicated and deep.

The IDW comics are a rabbit hole I am just exploring. There is this scene where Sound wave is going to shoot attacking humans and Optimus Prime asks him to tap into lower frequencies. Sound wave connects to the electrical singles of the human brains and realizes they use the same electric pattern as Cybertronian thoughts. He has a religious moment where he says they are the same as Cybertronians. All are one

And mentor, grand father demon mentor for David to contrast the matriarch of the demons being for Gloria?

God that's such a cool idea, not just the technology part, but the idea of robots viewing the electrical signals in our brain the same way they see computers and that turning into a religious moment for the robots.

I'm still a little stuck with David's mentor and what role he or she will play.

Till All Are One.
You could do a split personality with Gloria's mentor or a godfather teacher who turns David into a cyberpsycho sex demon.

Split personality would be having the demon mother adopt a rougher biker ultra bitch personality to train David into a edge runner gangester monster
