Well, I'll do anything that comes up. Just what is Ghost In the Shell or Cyberpunk 2020? What do I need to know?
Ghost in the Shell is an anime series I have not watched (actually, more then one series). Cyberpunk 2020 is a tabletop RPG. The upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game by CD Project Red is based on it (actually, I think the game is a sequel of sorts, but I'm not sure). I am not familiar with Ghost in the shell and Cyberpunk 2020, so I'll pass on this and just read (at least at first). I hope you find enough players. Good luck!
Added a link to Cyberpunk 2020 rulebook. Check it for art, and possible role inspirations. You don't need a concrete knowledge - it simply is a world in a cyberpunk setting. The common things to know is that the world is dark (and full of dangers) and that the cybernetics are a common thing. A world after ww3, with developed technology, many social problems, religious and cultural clashes. I would start with the movie from 1995 - it's a masterpiece. the series came after. I used those two examples as basic for the game - namely, cybernetics and dark world. You could use Blade Runner as a reference, only with more underdeveloped intelligence of androids and addition of cybernetics. Yes. Technology is developed enough to make them look vampire (teeth) or elves (ears). But it's a human-centric story. Other races could be included in Steam-punk themed story.
I will probably steal the system from @Tjf. It is solid enough and is more roleplay based than luck-based. Okay, there are some people who would be interested, so I will start slowly working on it.
Don’t know if we’ll still do this or not, but what I have. Probably want to save my blue skinned girl for a setting that allows actual non human characters rather than just a "Looks like an alien/magical being, but not really" thing. I don't usually do scifi, but I can probably use her for that if it comes up. Name: Taylor Casteel Job: Detective Background: The only thing more dangerous than being a cop, is being an honest cop. Sexy mother with children or no, the gangs aren’t interested in her life other than she makes them miserable and refuses to play ball or take bribes. Something of a local community hero, but also a target the gangs really want out of their lives. Sometimes the process of collecting evidence is real slow going though. Sometimes you need to take a crack at a few computers to get good intel. But it’s all for a better purpose of cleaning up the streets and putting these assholes away for good. While she’s as manly as any other guy or girl on the force, she has a very cool and casual attitude, that she shows off that makes her liked by locals considering her to maybe be the one not trigger happy or power tripping cop left in the area, criminal scum really believe they can’t think of a way to get rid of her soon enough.

Sure, if you're running it, you're putting in a lot more work than players are, after all. I also have a reporter character I'm deciding between, but can't be sure. Milfy police girls or milfy journalists..these are the questions that keep me up at night. Also it's actually really hard to find a good police girl that isn't just Catilyn from League of Legends.
It's MILF - it's already perfect. You might try special ops, investigator, corrupt cop - so many possibilities...
I mean if I'm doing a police character, I don't particularly want them to be a corrupt kind. I just don't really enjoy doing evil characters myself. Still unsure of what my stat spread for Taylor will be. I'll worry about that when it comes to it.
So alternately, the other character I'm debating with my milf detective with. I'll probably find a reason to use the other for something eventually anyway. Name: Gina Matsubara Job: Journalist Background: "Gina Mastsubra, reporting!" Words almost everyone in the city knows, as well as the image of her face. An investigative reporter not afraid of doing some legwork. Kingpins, corrupt cops, politicians embezzling tax dollars, she's been seen covering so many stories, she's something of a local celebrity. Unfortunately, the fact she's often needing to work or busy chasing leads means she doesn't get as much time with her kids as she likes. Skills(Assuming if we’re going the five point system): Academics Stealth Computers Charm 2 So that's my other character idea. The background is a little light for now, but still a tough call between what I want to do. I was thinking in either case, I was gonna do an npc(probably npc, since I don’t know if anyone would want to do that, but I’m open to other players) son whose really good with technology and uses it to try and put his mother into sexy situations. While I'm not normally into mind control stuff, I kind of like the appeal of being a cyborg that he can remotely influence maybe just a little. Probably closer to slight body control. Stuff like raising her internal body temperature and all. Probably going to add a daughter too, maybe. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking.
Not sure which character concept I'd rather go with. Either a catsuit wearing biker chick, or a milf cyborg who used to be a corporation exec.
Well, I’d enjoy that, but if you already have a thing you want to do, then you should just do that, so you can have fun how you want. Like I don’t need to be catered to. I was just throwing the idea out. Though the idea of horny cyborg milfs being slightly programmed altered seems like an amazing game idea that needs to be revisited.
So the concept would be that he's intentionally sabotaging her to get into sexual situations? By program altered would there be a mind control element?
Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. Probably only little changes at first, him not able to interact with much to.but slowly cracking the programs and getting more and more influence. I’m not generally for mind control stuff, but I like experimenting with new things. And the idea just seemed like it would be fun to play, so I sort of want to try it.
