10. Is your character street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?
Ryder is ex-corpo. Ofc he's book-smart. He even reads a lot and has an entire bookshelf at home. You're likely to find books everywhere in his apartment. Yeah, he doesn't look like a book worm but he's. Do not underestimate him just because of his looks. ;) He's also intelligent. He just doesn't show it to hide his origin.
22. Who are their friends? Lovers? ‘Type’ or ‘ideal’ partner?
Vijay is his best friend :) He's been his lover a few years ago. Now they're friends (yes, you can still be friends after having had a relationship – it's not easy but possible).
Hizumi follows after, tho Ryder thinks of them they're a bit strange (but hell who isn't in this city?).
He's also gotten friends with Vanessa Vergara and Ivarr not long ago. :) He knows a few more but these are merely aquaintances for him rather than friends. Ryder doesn't have as many friends as Vijay and mainly knows people through him. He's just not the 'go to talk with everyone' type of guy.
26. What does your character’s home look like? Personal taste? Clothing? Hair? Appearance?
Ryder's got the apartment in the Glen. Yeah, fairly large for a single guy, I know. But he's got the money for it, so why not make himself a nice home? Sure, he doesn't like corpo but he just can't live in a small shitty apartment in one of these stinky mega buildings. He's got a certain pride alright? He loves his loft apartment — much of steel and glass, nice city view, one big room, high ceiling, brick walls. Big TV, king size bed, book shelf, a bar etc. You can't kill everything corpo when you're born one.
His appearance now is seen by others mostly that he's a light goth dude. His style however is inspired by 1980s Depeche Mode and the overall German techno scene. People love to wear dark clothing in Germany when they go to a rave. Rave is essential for him to express himself. His hair has always been and stays black. He wore it differently when he was still a corpo. It looked more neat and not as messy as now. He's glad he got rid of it. Too snobby.
Same for his appearance back then. When he was still with his Corpo family he had a different hairstye, shaved regularly, had no tattoos neither implants or scarifications and also no cyberware – just scars he received from his father. He started with adding the complexions on his face (not around the eyes) and found a liking in looking slightly different with that (his father had a different opinion though). After he made a cut with his corpo life he began to get himself a tattoo on his back what slowly went into becoming an entire upper arm-chest sleeve. He's also got anothr big black on mathing to the rest on his left lower leg. Lastly he changed his eyes and finally started to value how he looked.
49. What about voice? Pitch? Strength? Tempo and rhythm of speech? Pronunciation? Accent?
When Ryder speaks his first language, German, his voice often sounds kind of hard and a bit darker, hes also speaking pretty fast — no one's going to understand him then. He tries not to sound like a German speaking English 'cause he sets great value on pronounciation. Sometimes the German accent comes through, tho. When he speaks English his voice sounds a bit softer, given that English in general sounds softer than German.
If you wonder how his voice sounds like, here's a link to Gísli Örn Garðarsson speaking for a bit. :)
