Cyberpunk Universe of Blade Runner (and based on the movie Alita: Battle Angel).
Dream or Morpheus Endless is a scientist/ technician who is in charge of creating technology for Dreaming, a very important part of the floating city, he comes from a powerful family in which he is the third son of the family's eight successors. His closest sisters being Death and Delirium (don't ask me what the parents did when naming them, idk) and his "rival" Desire, the fifth. Morpheus works day and night prioritizing the advancement of society above anything including his health and emotional stability, being repeatedly forced by his assistants to eat and even sleep for his sake. His attitude is cold and rough, however he tries to be kind to those he trusts. One day he discovers that his most precious and valuable creation "Corintio" has escaped, being helped by his brother Desire.
Despite expressing his tremendous annoyance at letting his creation go to wreak havoc on the underworld, his parents ignore him instead of helping him, arguing that it should have been more careful knowing how playful his younger brother used to be. With no one else to rely on, Dream travels to the underworld with his sister Death and one of his assistants Matthew, to hunt down Corintio, who despite his elaborate development is presented with quite hostile and psychopathic attitudes.
On his trip he meets someone he does not identify firsthand but later recognizes as Robert Hob Gadling, a former mercenary, now a bounty hunter, who comments on the commotion that has been going on in those days and the madness of walking through such insecure places. Dream collides with Gadling's outgoing and flirtatious personality, whom he only "uses" to find Corintio more quickly.
In one of those outings, Dream decides to continue on his path, since he works better "alone" and in his meeting with Corintio he is kidnapped by Roderick Burgess, owner of a large part of the bars and motels in the area, who plans to use Morpheus as a tool to return to the floating city. Hob, upon learning of the decision, comes to his rescue with the help of Death and Matthew, confronting Roderick and losing his robotic leg in the process due to the fight. After saving Dream and putting him in a safe place, Hob angrily expresses to him how worrying it is that someone like him would get lost in a place like that, since Dream's life is considered more worthier than all the cities in that place and that his attitude was going to end up with him dead sooner or later and the same with those he loves along with that fate. Dream reflects and decides to accompany Hob so that together they can get Corintio and end the terror that exists in the city.
-------
Robert Hob Gadling is a former mercenary, now bounty hunter, who lives in one of the devastated cities of Iron City.
Hob was an orphan since he was 12 and was taken in by a Blade Runner who ran a small hospital to repair androids in exchange for food or pay. This man raised Hob to try to be someone, however at an early age Robert stood out for being good at stealing and running away, becoming a young mercenary at 22.
He met his wife Eleanor, having a son with her and promising to lead a better life. One stormy night and due to past enemies, Hob found himself cornered in his house by a crazy android who murdered his pregnant wife and son Robyn, leaving Hob injured with the loss of his left leg. Hob returns to his mentor, defeated and begging for forgiveness, admitting his mistakes and seeking help. The man helps him because he feels that paternal affection towards Hob and gives him a robot leg, showing him the art of being a bounty hunter and what it entailed the responsibility of helping others.
Hob decides that he will avoid death at all costs and earns the nickname "The Immortal or the Lover of Death" for being the one who faced the most dangerous wanted people and emerged victorious in each of the encounters. With an extroverted, flirtatious and confident attitude, he gains a fairly implacable reputation.
On one of his outings he notices that on the huge screen a particular wanted person is described with an almost laughable reward of 10 million credits plus an exclusive pass to live for life in the floating city. Hob decides to go out in search of it to finally have an excuse to get out of that dump. On his trip he meets Morpheus, and is fascinated by his bearing, frivolous attitude and terrible sense of humor, although at first he feels that he has no choice, little by little he empathizes with him since he relates him to a little kitten who seeks to trust someone.
Having to rescue him from Roderick and losing his leg for the second time, Hob is enraged by Dream's lack of importance in his own life and confesses his past to the Endless so that the Endless will trust him (but not the part where he confesses to being insanely in love with him), gaining his trust.
Together they decide to go in search of Corintio, Desire and end the terror that exists in that city.
