Red (Bomb Rush Cyberfunk)

Red is the main protagonist of the 2023 indie video game Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. He is an amnesiac writer and member of the Bomb Rush Crew with a cybernetic head whose body originally belonged to Faux, one of the Big 3, the trio of the greatest writers in New Amsterdam, before he was decapitated by the mysterious DJ Cyber, another member of said trio.
It's later revealed his cyberhead isn't actually cybernetic but instead contains the head of Felix, the other member of the Big 3 who won out among the three in the past by becoming All City and conquering all five boroughs in New Amsterdam, before fellow Big 3 member Faux murdered him by knocking him into a giant fan, causing him to get beheaded. The Flesh Prince, the leader of the Franks, finds Felix's head and would put it into an empty cyberhead, as requested to by someone, most likely DJ Cyber since he witnessed Felix's death.
==Biography==
Prior to the game's events, Felix was regarded as one of the three greatest writers in New Amsterdam, alongside Faux and DJ Cyber. Out of the three, Felix won out as he successfully conquered all five boroughs of the city with his grafitti and became All City, becoming a legend by doing all this without a Boostpack like other writers. At the same time, Felix found out about Faux getting his father, a corrupt cop, to pin the blame of his vandalism on innocent people to scrub his record clean. A mixture between bitter jealousy over Felix becoming All City and Felix knowing his dark secret, Faux murders Felix by knocking him off a ladder he was standing on and into a giant fan, which ultimately beheads him. Felix's head is found by the Flesh Prince who puts it inside of a cyberhead, and when Tryce arrived with the body of Faux, who was decapitated by DJ Cyber, he attaches the cyberhead to it.
Felix, losing all his memories and now called Red by the Bomb Rush Crew, seeks out to help his gang become All City whilst hoping to find Faux's head and regain his memories. Along the way, he and his gang cover the five boroughs in their graffiti, defeat several gangs in crew battles (trick contests to see who rules each specific borough), and fighting off the New Amsterdam police.
After the Bomb Rush Crew defeat Devil Theory, a rival gang whose turf was Pyramid Island, DJ Cyber shows up and throws Vinyl, an ally of his who was secretly helping out the BRC, into a large capsule to trap her. This prompts Red to fight the DJ and would eventually come out on top, only to regain his previous memories after DJ Cyber takes off his mask, finally remembering his real identity as Felix, which turned out to be both DJ Cyber and Vinyl's plan all along. DJ Cyber reveals the New Amsterdam police found Faux's head and connected it to their Project Algo program, which allowed Faux to control the minds of the police force to exterminate every writer in New Amsterdam for the purpose of becoming "All City King" and rule the streets alone.
The Bomb Rush Crew eventually defeat Futurism, DJ Cyber's crew, in Mataan, conquering every borough in the city. However, Faux then shows up connected to a giant mech and attempts to attack Devil Theory, who had apparently made a deal with him. BRC member Solace shows up to protect them, revealing to Faux that Red is a resurrected Felix. This prompts Faux to start a brawl with Red, which he loses and seemingly falls to his doom, before arriving in a snake-like mech and grabbing Red to brutally rip his head off, then throws away what was once his own body and kidnaps Solace to use his younger body as a replacement. Police officer Irene Rietveld decides to rebel against Faux after he brainwashed and corrupted the entire police force by providing Red/Felix his original body. With head and body restored, Red/Felix and the rest of the BRC eventually reach Faux and defeat him, leaving his head open. Faux and Felix argue for a bit, with Felix blowing off Faux's excuses and calling him out for the shady scumbag that he is; before he, with help from DJ Cyber, Vinyl, Tryce and Bel, headbutts Faux to knock him down to his demise whilst shattering the cyberhead shell that covered his human face, getting saved by Solace from falling to his doom as well.
After Faux's defeat, BRC celebrates becoming All City. Felix thanks DJ Cyber for helping him, to which Cyber responds that Felix did most of the work by himself yet also states the BRC won't be All City forever. Felix then ends up joining the celebration with his crew.
