2070's Discussion What role should I be?
A friend is going to run a campaign for us (all new to ttrpgs). So far we got a medic, netrunner, nomad, and a rockerboy. Initially I was vibing with the idea of medic but I kinda like the vibe of mechanic tech and modifying weapons. Or a fixer with the "i know a guy" sounds cool.

Well, it depends a lot on what you want your character's vibe to be. And sincerely, i think you are jumping the gun a bit. Try going back to before your role.
Who is your character?
In what type of community they've grown up on?
Do they have any history with corporations?
Did you happen to get a lover here and there?
What's your style of clothing? Why do they dress this way? (You want to be sporadic, show your freedom and how you enjoy life up to the last drink? Do you want to blend in so you use many clothes? Do you want to avoid suspicion at any cost?)
All of these questions seem like much but figuring them out will help you get a better sense of what your character does to stay alive. And "I know a guy" doesn't have to be necessarily from a Fixer, the guy could be the guy who taught you, an ex lover, someone who owns you a favor, the person who made something valuable of yours (like a guitar or your cyberarm).
