Good afternoon

@Vertigo@GingerBoi123@BigPapaBelial@Vertigo@BingTheWing@Garden Gnome@Theyra@SsongsOfHeroism@Hank@Ratattack@kersel@Hyyde322@Creative Chaos

Welcome to OOC, please give it a read and pose your questions as required :).

[Night Diamond]

Ok this is my first time doing a cyberpunk Rp so can someone like fill me on what it is?? Or like give me a small background of it

[Creative Chaos]

How detailed does the CS need to be? Also, would a Ready Player Me model work for a face claim?

[Steel Legion]

I am interested in this.

[TrippyNightmare]

How detailed does the CS need to be?

@Creative Chaos

A well detailed and fleshed out character is required.

[TrippyNightmare]

Also, would a Ready Player Me model work for a face claim?

@Creative Chaos

No.

[Smike]

Reporting in, will start tonight

EDIT: should ask, for gear should we only pull from the games or do we have leeway to homebrew stuff

[GR1M R3M1ND3R]

Can we homebrew gear?

[TrippyNightmare]

Within reason.

Records of the Vatican's personal mercenary groups, written in the archives of Cardinal Mcdonald's library:

I am afraid that brother Giovanni has some particular problems with his adaptation to the training that he has been given, specifically in the field of close-quarters combat, although the effects of cyberpsychosis have not been present within him according to all scans that have been conducted on him. He is a particularly interesting one, showing extreme adaptability to the FREAK Sandevistan that has been made by the Vatican artificers, being able to continuously use it for extended periods of time, although there are some behavioral issues present within him, such as a disposition towards rebellion against authority and violence, he was even able to harm an instructor that was training him in close-quarters combat, leading to him being being punished via beating for thirty minutes. What he shows however is an extreme amount of resilience, being able to pass the various tests levied against him with flying colors, even being able to handle professional mercenaries at just the age of fourteen. Although I have some concerns over his particularly violent nature and skillful disposition, as he often harms others with increasing frequency as of late, attracting the attention of the other Cardinals, as they wish to see what he is capable of, and I do not wish to burden him with the attention of the other Cardinals.

He has extreme adaptability when it comes to cyberware, warrenting the attention of the artificers of the Vatican, as they see an opportunity that cannot be wasted in him, and I must admit, I am curious what exactly can push him to the limit in terms of cyberpsychosis so that we may see what would truly push him over the edge. I will say that he is someone that shows quite a bit of interest in cyberware, so it would not exactly be a one-sided deal for him to be given the best of the best that the Vatican can create and buy from mega-corporations, although I don't know exactly what the other Cardinals think of the prospect of modifying one of God's children, it is still something to consider in these trying times for Christendom, as our faith wanes, so does the hope for the world, as it has been taken over by malevolent forces that wish to snuff out the flame of Christ, but know this, my friends, this child will surely bring us safety, perhaps he shall even be ordained as a saint in the future.

_{D A Y S - G O N E}
Excerpts from Giovanni's personal diary:

"It seems as if there is a disturbance within the hall of the Vatican today, the priests seem worried at the very sight of me, as if they are viewing a monster, perhaps it is the blood that covers me constantly, or the unnatural implants given to me by the artificers, but it matters not, for those foolish sheep do not know the glory of violence, what it truly means to live in God's light, but they will soon know, as I have prepared my salvation from this place, perhaps I will escape to one of the wretched lands of Europe, or perhaps America will call my name. It matters not, for the Lord will show me the path that is right for me, and these fools that doubt me will say what true power is, their doubts cleansed in the flame of ambition that swells from within my heart, and perhaps, just maybe, I can find something resembling peace in the lands that I will flee in." - 23rd entry

"The priests say that my tendencies are a bit too much, but they said that my writing skills are impressive for my age, so that's a good thing, I suppose. They praised me for the results of my written exams, saying that I showed great intellect and was blessed with something truly amazing by the Lord's light. They say that the artificers wish to see me, as I show "great potential in terms of cyberware adaptability", whatever that's supposed to mean. Anyway, I am suppose to head over to Cardinal Mcdonald's room for instructions on what to do next, as this is my first entry into the personal diary that he gifted me for my birthday, something that I truly appreciate from him. Hopefully things will calm down when I am done with my training, as the priests have been frantic to cover up something that I don't know about, probably a leak of information that got out due to some mole among us. Anyway, I suppose this the end of the first entry, I hope things become better." - 1st entry

"I see blood, everywhere, all around me, bodies are splayed out like the carcasses of animals that have been hunted by wolves. So this is what it is like. Why would the Lord allow such a thing? That is the question that always seems to permeate throughout my mind, even if I try to snuff it out, it still comes back even stronger, the doubt within my heart is surely heretical. What would the Cardinal think of me? I don't even know anymore, my hands are shaking, and I am barely even able to write this entry into my diary. Perhaps it is for the best that I cannot express my thoughts even further than this, for surely I may go mad from these revelations. Night City, that is the place that I have been trapped in. It is a place of decadence and material greed, nothing that should be admired, but still, there are opportunities here that cannot be ignored, such as the many contracts that permeate throughout the city. Perhaps I will be able to claim something of a name for myself in this wretched hive of scum and villainy." - 30th entry

Comments from an unknown prospector:

It seems the kid has been through a lot, not exactly unusual in this vile city, but still, from what I can tell from these recovered excerpts, he is starting to doubt his faith in God, something truly tragic in this time of materialism and greed, but still, I suppose its best for him to realize the harshness of the world before he can truly delve into the depths of Night City. This city is a cruel place after all, so it is only natural that someone of his disposition would begin to doubt the things that they've believed in for so long. From what I can tell from these excerpts, he's probably somewhere in Night City doing Solo work by himself, and from what I've gathered on the kid, he's gathered quite the reputation around these parts, as someone that is ruthless to anyone in the boundaries of the city. Records say he's joined a mercenary group as well, a group of rag-tag individuals I suppose.

If I'm piecing the excerpts that I have correctly, he was some sort of child supersoldier of the Vatican before coming to Night City, serving them loyally like a dog, although with some hiccups here and there. He seems to have relations to some Cardinal that from what I can tell is a wealthy investor in many companies around the world, being one of the richest men on Europe, being one of the last bastions for the Catholic faith left on the planet. Curious, the kid seems to have an interesting relationship with the good Cardinal, like a father-son relationship from what I can tell, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. It seems that he received many cyberware implants in his time in the Vatican, particularly something called a "FREAK Sandevistan", something that I assume is a modified version of the Sandevistan that so many companies have developed.

How he came to Night City is a mystery to me, so from I can tell from the entries on the diary, he somehow ferried his way to California in some sort of cargo ship, or at least, I'm guessing its a cargo ship, there isn't really much info on what he got on as he was travelling to America. Many things this kid is, and sane doesn't seem to be one of them, despite showing extreme adaptability to cyberware, he seems to show signs of derangement in some of his diaries, not exactly from cyberpsychosis, but more from the trauma that he has endured in Night City. He seems to have a particular interest in "walks" of some kind, its what he calls his hunts as a Solo, and he shows signs of anti-social behavior, such as hunting down criminals for the simple sake of killing and maiming them, this piece of information I got not from his diary, but from several reports of dozens of dead bodies being spotted across Night City, their figures mutilated, often having their weapons shoved into their bodies. Overall, I think something is seriously wrong with the kid, with the possibility of cyberpsychosis and trauma from his experiences within Night City being the cause of his symptoms, and from what I can tell, the Vatican is not looking for him, as he was able to somehow fake his death in an operation that they sent him.

_{M E M O R I E S}
Excerpts from Giovanni's personal diary:

"It seems that my "walks" have gathered the attention of the denizens of this hive. It is irrelevant to my goals, and I do not see them as a threat, however something interesting has been given to me: an invitation to some sort of mercenary group that seems to pay quite well. I am considering joining them, if only for the possibility of getting a good pay in this wretched city and it seems that they are a particularly interesting bunch, having a mixed bag of backgrounds of individuals. They seem to be strong, just as I wish for my allies to be. My interest in the group has been increasing over the days that I have pondered joining them, a sign that my interest is growing stronger and stronger every moment that I think about it. So far, the Vatican has not spotted my existence just yet, and I do not expect them to find me just yet. The faking of my death on the first operation they sent me must have shocked them, although I was not a particularly excellent soldier, it still must have hit them quite hard that one of their precious agents were lost in an operation." - 40th entry

"I have officially decided to join the group that has invited me into their ranks. Hopefully I do not see anymore troublesome individuals within the halls of this organization, but so far, the people within the organization seem to be friendly enough, not something that I should extensively worry about. Although I do think that their ranks could be bolstered with more firepower, hence why I am joining them for the sake of helping them in their endeavors. The people within the ranks of the group seem to be decent enough, although they do show their quirks and kinks at times. I do not see them as much of threat to my safety, however there are some that are particularly powerful, giving me worry that in the future we will come into conflict, although such worries I think are unfounded, as I possess a neutral reputation with them, so it is not really a worry for me. In terms of the personalities of the crew, they are decent people, having more than enough virtue for me to somewhat appreciate their existence, so it is not so worrisome that they will commit acts that are deplorable and require punishment on my part.

_{G E A R & C Y B E R N E T I C S}
FREAK Sandevistan: A modified version of the Sandevistan manufactured by the Vatican. It is far more capable than commercial versions of the operating system, being able to activate for longer periods of time and having a much lesser cooldown time.
Stigmata Skeletal System: A set of implants that completely replace the skeletal system of the subject with an extremely durable titanium alloy, replacing their bone marrow with highly-efficient substitutes that produce more than thrice the amount of blood of the original.
Holy Grail Complete Circulatory Replacement Package: A system that completely replaces the circulatory system of the subject, enhancing their capabilities past the maximum of the human body, giving them far more in terms of circulation of blood around the body.
Pneuma Nervous System & Sensory Package: A set of cyberware that enhances overall cognitive ability, including intelligence, memory retention, and processing speed, along with far more. It also enhances the five senses past human capability, giving the user extremely keen senses.
Subdermal Armor: A simple titanium mesh subdermal implant made by the Vatican, protecting the user from particularly dangerous damage that may harm their internal organs.
Samson Limb Replacement Package: A limb replacement set that gives its user extreme capabilities rivaled only by the best cyberware commercially available. It also replaces the muscles that support the limbs such as back muscles with far more capable replacements.
Nails of Helena: A set of replicas of the Nails of Helena that emit an extremely potent burst of electromagnetic radiation whenever inserted into objects, allowing the user to harm the cybernetic denizens of Night City with ease.

Two years on the run from Arasaka have neutered Set’s once-flamboyant personal style into a muted shell of the corporate netrunner playboy he used to be. His facial features are unremarkably East Asian and slightly emaciated from a constant diet of sugary kibble. But no matter where he may be, it’s still clear to see that Set didn’t grow up on the streets. His skin is soft, pale and remarkably free of scars or cuts any other streetkid would proudly sport. But looks can be deceiving: Set is noticeably alert and aware of his own surroundings even when "jacked out" into the real world.

While two years of living on the Street have knocked his ego down a peg or two, Set’s past life as Arasaka’s pampered attack dog inevitably shines through once he is given a chance to prove himself. Set is good at netrunning, and–unfortunately for those around him–he knows it. In a corporate psychological diagnosis, Set’s personality flaws as an Arasaka employee included, among others: general impulsiveness, an inflated sense of self-importance, and an inability to work with people he considers less competent than he is. Su’s personal assessment, in simple terms: “a stuck-up asshole, especially to the people (he) love(s).”

Arasaka Employee and Contractor Unidirectory - Entry E4482747383 (DEFUNCT)

DOB: 2052/01/06

POB: Shenzhen-Guangzhou Greater Metropolitan Region, People’s Republic of China

BIO:

Subject was born an only child and moved with his family to San Francisco in 2055. Parents were electronics technicians for Zhirafa.

In 2064, subject was second runner-up of his school district’s local hackathon. In 2066, became the youngest ever grand champion of San Francisco’s Annual City CodeCup with his proposed redesign of the SFPD’s defensive NET architecture.

In 2069, subject was first-runner up of the Arasaka Programming World Cup for Young Technology Leaders, and was correspondingly awarded a scholarship in computer science in the Tokyo campus of the Arasaka Institute of Technology.

After graduating from the accelerated track, subject moved to Singapore and worked as a cybersecurity specialist for Arasaka. Was promoted several times for exceptional performance in neutralizing SovOil cyberthreats to Petrochem facilities in Indonesia.

Subject developed an observable gambling compulsion and was frequently sighted in Macau casinos when on paid leave. Subject was also the unconfirmed source of several minor decryption programs detected and quarantined by Macau police, possibly initially sold off to triads to pay off casino credit.

Subject was reportedly involved in a romantic relationship with one Qiao Suli, a Singaporean chemical engineer for Petrochem.

On 2075/10/14, subject was identified as the trigger of a distress signal originating from one of Arasaka’s Singaporean dataforts, later established to be the result of an attempted unauthorized mass decryption of field operative biodata. Subject was immediately apprehended by Arasaka Security and a tactical interrogation yielded the working conclusion that he was acting on the orders of several Macau triad bosses in order to pay back a series of accrued financial debts. His claim that no sensitive data was leaked to criminal elements was deemed unlikely.

Subject escaped from detention with the aid of an outside actor, possibly Qiao. Arasaka security operatives immediately engaged in hot pursuit, but subject was able to have his company-provided geotracker implants surgically removed piecemeal throughout Southeast Asia. Subject's last known biosignals were traced to Calcutta. Complaint on Qiao was submitted to Petrochem HR, but investigation failed to yield results.

Subject’s employment contract was TERMINATED by Arasaka on 2075/10/17. Arasaka will not consider any future applications from subject for formal employment or other contractual work.

Arasaka has classified subject as PERSONA NON GRATA and will be treated according to field ROE as determined by Arasaka Security.

Rustling.

“Set, if you’re listening to this, you’re probably out of the facility. Give your body some time to heal from what those Arasaka thugs did to your internal cyberware. In fact, I suggest you have all of that junk removed from your system. The less data footprints Arasaka has on you, the better.

“Now, onto what you need to know.”

A deep breath.

“I don’t know how I could have fucked up your life more than you did.

"You loved to go on and on about your fancy toys, your supercars, your casino memberships and your corporate penthouses–that it was all because of you. That nobody gave you anything, that you worked for every single eurobuck of this meaningless corporate bullshit.

"Well, now, you can’t blame me. You can’t even blame Arasaka–you knew what you got yourself into. This is all on you.

"You’ve thrown away your life. With your credentials wiped, you’ll never work another proper corpo job again. And it’s not just Arasaka that’s after you–the only way you’ll get into triad territory again is with your head on a pike. Your parents are even under house arrest, for Christ’s sake. Not to mention how I’m definitely on Arasaka’s watchlist now–you couldn’t have broken out of there without somebody helping you.

“But, someday, Set–”

A pause, then quiet sobbing.

“I wish you would remember who you were before. When we met, you promised that you would work so hard, we’d live in one of those starscrapers in the atmosphere with a view of the Milky Way in our living room. We both promised each other so much. I don’t know how we could get it back now.

“One day, you could come back here. To Singapore. For us. But I wouldn’t even know where to start. You’ll probably have to do dirty jobs, hurt and kill even more people . . . all so that you can have a second chance at life. I don’t know how I could live with that.

“This is the last thing you’ll probably hear from me in a long time. I have my own life to live and my own name to clear. But in case a miracle happens, in case you manage to put your life back together again . . .

“I’ll be here.”

Sounds of the city.

_{Zhenya "Zen" Makarova
"The Beast From the East, that's me!"
◄ 48 ▎ FEMALE ▎ 6'8" ►}

_{P R O F I L E
"I'm like a puppy really, a big, strong Rottweiler puppy that loves you until you bother it. Then it rips your face open."}

Zhenya is a SINless, heavily augmented Solo with no shortage of experience, a thirty-year veteran of corporate conflicts and gang wars across the globe. Like most Solos, she's not quite right in the head after having spilled more blood than could be healthy for her psyche. Over her seven-odd years in Night City she's built a reputation of dependability: you can depend on her to go in guns blazing and leave a lot of bodies behind. She's unsuited for stealth or espionage and is thus relegated to low-tier hits, clearing out rival gangs from street corners or beating the shit out of an informant to send a message.

Physically she sticks out from the crowd, standing far above the vast majority of people without some sort of leg extension bodymod. While her height is somewhat impractical in day-to-day life it does wonders when she's getting paid to shake someone down. Physically she's in excellent shape, looking younger than her near fifty years thanks to some choice surgery before she moved to the Free States. While she's most definitely buff her build hides the augmented strength she can bring to bear. Zen dresses practically, eschewing the flashy neon getups favored by some Solos in favor of simple tank tops and cheap cargo pants.

While not yet in the state of mass homicidal delusion that is the common perception of cyberpsychosis Zen is most definitely 'off'. All the times she's been shot, stabbed, hit by cars or thrown from buildings hasn't helped her stability and neither does her heavy drug use. She's long past the point of killing for anything other than money and the sense of power it gives, unbothered by the idea of hurting other people if it gets her what she wants.

However, she's not interested in performing random massacres. What she craves is the adrenaline rush from a proper shootout, the sense of danger when bullets start flying in her direction. Merc work is her outlet for this need to butcher and break people, leaving her in a rather friendly (if overly enthusiastic) state all other times. Zhenya speaks quickly and acts quicker, invading people's personal space as she drags them into rapid-fire chatter about anything and everything.

She's also perpetually broke. Riding the poverty line is far from uncommon in Night City of course but for a Solo with as much experience as she has Zen is embarrassingly low on creds. Her Fixer is so low on the totem pole that he can only offer her jobs that pay a couple thousand eddies a pop and she's in debt to a ripper doc for fixing up her dog after it caught some stray lead. Without a stable corpo paycheck and lacking the the resources she had in Eastern Europe she's forced to live off of cheap takeout while sleeping in her car.

Zhenya doesn't mind. She's free to do what she does best without having to put up with all the boring rank-and-file bullshit Life's a breeze really, except for the fact that she's in a foreign country where she has no friends or family. And that she's a (barely) functional addict with expensive habits. Also, she's so chromed up inside that she could snap into cyberpsychosis without warning and that's assuming she doesn't die from a gut shot she didn't notice due to her screwed-up augs.

Putting all of that aside, she's loving life.

It's also important to note that Zen might already be a cyberpsycho. She's already got the penchant for violence and a sense of superiority stoked by all the fancy tech shoved into her and not every CP goes out in an explosive blaze of glory surrounded by dead cops. Sometimes they simply cease to be, their personality fractured beyond recognition.

That terrifies Zhenya. Losing herself in that way would be succumbing to the slow identity loss she left SovOil and Militech to avoid. All she can do is try to stave it off with sketchy sedatives bought from cheap dealers and hope that she manages to become somebody before she turns into a nobody.

She takes life as it comes and always with a dogged optimism born out of bravado. Whatever happens, whatever's thrown her way, she'll take care of it just like she did everything else.

_{D A Y S - G O N E}

"Ancient History, really"

Zhenya Makarova was born in Yekaterinburg, Russia on October 14, 2029, a scant four years after the end of the Fourth Corporate War. Her family was originally loyal to the Soviet Union but broke away in the face of it's increasing corporate control, both of her parents and her elder brother Red Army operatives before signing on with SovOil.

The family was solidly middle-class, living in a series of decent apartments across Russia and the other constituent republics and getting food that was adequate in both quantity and quality. Zhenya received a decent education and had the means to make something of herself, perhaps a middle manager for SovOil or crossing the border to become an accountant for Kang Tao. Hell, with her height she could have played basketball

However, she never took to the idea of a desk job. Zhenya grew up fighting with other children and running from local law enforcement when she and her friends were caught scrawling tags over public property. While not quite antisocial she was uninterested in playing it safe. It was obvious that she was an adrenaline junkie, fueled by excitement more than anything else.

By the time she was in her mid-teens she had a number of infractions on her record, mostly disorderly conduct for brawling and a couple cases of joyriding.

Had it not been for her parents track records of service to SovOil Zhenya would simply another been another gopnik, hanging out on street corners while trying to prove herself as the baddest motherfucker around. Instead she was signed up to serve like the rest of her family, given basic security training before being given a gun and told to defend corporate interests from the same riffraff she had been hanging out with.

While she was hardly thrilled at the prospect of wearing a uniform or taking orders the power that SovOil gave her was intoxicating. She had a license to kick ass, not just allowed but expected to bust the head of anyone who even looked at company property funny. Most of her paycheck was spent on down payments for black-market cyberwear and fueling her addiction to syn-coke with the occasional hospital visit for injuries sustained in back alley brawls. There was a learning curve for the first couple of years, a few citations for excessive force and reckless endangerment, but eventually some pencil pusher managing the personnel roster had a brilliant idea:

Why risk collateral damage and waste a perfectly good goon when she could be reassigned to the middle of nowhere?

With the USSR's old enemy America having splintered into NUSA and the rise of corporate power over the Politiboro most of the conflict in Russia was internal. Besides the usual gangland warfare the various nations of Neo-Sov often had border clashes, to say nothing of the more organized crews making a living off of attacking SovOil storage depots. Zhenya was sent to Siberia to deal with those vultures, the wide open wasteland the perfect sort of enviroment for someone like her.

That was her life for the next three decades. Trying to stay warm inside desolate SovOil outposts, serving as gunner on AV patrols to clear out bandit camps and laying waste to anything she was told to. Inbetween the months on the job were the weeks long stretches of downtime, most of which was spent partying or running her own rackets on the side. SovOil didn't care if its guards were selling confiscated contraband or shaking down villages for protection money, as long as they did their jobs.

By her forties Zen had straightened out, more or less. She had figured out how to toe the line when required but found herself growing bored. The syn-coke habit had been replaced by painkillers and sedatives, the running gun battles with would be thieves in the shadow of the Urals all blurring into one. Siberia was growing old, a change was needed.

"Pretty Recent Stuff"

The opportunity came when her EV was shot down by some booster with a stolen rocket launcher. The low power of the degraded warhead hadn't been enough to blow the vehicle apart and Zen survived the crash thanks to the aggressive amount of cyberware she had installed. With the rest of the crew dead she simply trekked back to base, grabbed her stuff and slipped free.

Her father had passed a decade ago and she hadn't spoken to her mother or brother in years. Zen found it easy to leave her old life behind, crossing the border into Poland and then onto Germany. The formerly United States was chosen as her final destination purely on basis of distance. She wanted to get as far away as possible as quickly as possible and with the help of smugglers she managed to do just that.

Eurodollars were not officially exchanged in the Neo=Soviet Union and much of what Zen had earned from her side hustles was spent on making it to NUSA. She needed a job, and what with having spent her whole life as a professional gunslinger, had little in the way of marketable skills. But she had arrived in the early stages of the Unification Wars, NUSA moving to finally bring the Free States back under its thumb. Militech, the real power behind NUS of A, needed more bodies and was willing to bring on a foreigner who wanted to be thrown into the meat grinder.

Zhenya fought at Ridgecrest in what would be the bloodiest battle of the Unification War before marching north for the coming assault on Night City (noting the irony of her home country sending support to the soon-to-be-besieged city), only to be sorely disappointed when the arrival of an Arasaka supercarrier forced the Militech/NUSA force to retreat.

The war was ended with the Arvin Accords and Zhenya was unceremoniously booted from Militech, her maverick attitude and worrying love of cyberwear no longer tolerated without a conflict to let her get killed in.

The remainder of her Sov cash was long gone and her salary from Militech had blown on drugs and joytoys in a series of post-war celebrations. Zen was dead broke with no friends or family to rely on, lacking even a superior officer willing to vouch for her. What she did have was an arsenal of heavy weaponry, way too much chrome and the directions to a town she had intended on painting red anyway.

"Here and now"

Night City didn't judge. It took her in like it did every other lunatic merc, a neon playground for her to ply her trade. With her connections far and few between Zen was at the bottom of the pile, an overqualified hired gun for those unbothered by things getting loud. Any decent paying job she found required more discretion she was capable or cared to give and there were always expenses. Food, meds to patch herself up with after jobs, new cyberware, various sedatives to counteract the increasing odds of completely losing it due to that cyberware, so many things to buy and not enough eddies to buy them with.

But Zhenya didn't mind being homeless. She had a car to sleep in and a dog to hang out with, that was about as much as she needed. More importantly, she was free. No bosses yelling orders, no parents to try and impress with her service, she worked when she wanted for who she wanted.

She could be whoever she wanted, even if the person she wanted to be was just a more infamous version of who she already was. She found people willing to work with her, running ops for a shifty ground-floor Fixer and serving as a shooter for a wheelman by the name of 3D.

_{M E M O R I E S}

A Useful Idiot Fixer

Jake Tao- A low-tier fixer, perfect for a low-tier solo. Johnny likes to spin himself as being bigger than he is and Zen nods politely despite knowing full well he's not going to find her a job different than the usual "burn rival stash spot here, shoot a too-curious bennie there." He's useful not because he offers good gigs, he's useful because he offers lots of them. It's the one advantage of working with bottom of the bin clients, plenty of poor people want other poor people dead.

A Useful Competent Fixer

3D- An actually competent fixer, even if he has poor taste. Zen likes to work for 3D because he offers her gigs that actually paid well...or at least he did before he was ran out of his mansion. She tries to throw him a bone now and again in the aftermath of the bordello raid but there's only such much she can do when she's already skipping meals to afford more ammo. He's a a good buddy and a great driver but a very bad source for fashion advice.

A Furry Son

Uncle Sam- Zen's pet, personal therapist, diary and pillow. He's named after the patron saint of her adopted country and he's just the bestest boy in the whole world, yes he is! A stray blast of buckshot took out an eye and a leg but Zen managed to rush him over to a ripperdoc in time to save his life.

_{G E A R & C Y B E R N E T I C S
"All my worldly possessions. It's uh, it's not much."}

Weapons

Mark. 31 Heavy Machinegun- Eighty-two pounds of high-powered weaponry, firing .50 BMG from a backpack-mounted feed system. The Mk. 31 is unwieldy even for those all borg'ed up but its ability to chew through cover, light vehicles and most definitely people make it worth keeping around. Fires a variety of rounds, all of which will absolutely ruin someone's day.

Militech Crusher- The Crusher's small size makes it convenient for use indoors while its eight-gauge payload and twelve-round magazine make it deadly. It's Zhenya's go-to when the situation warrants some semblance of subtlety.

RT-46 Burya- Zhenya's sidearm from her SovOil days and one of the few tech-weapons she cares for. Low-capacity and most certainly not low profile but makes up for these deficits with its sheer power. If it doesn't drop dead after getting shot by a railgun Zen probably shouldn't have shot at it in the first place.

"Rezat" Officer's Sword- Her father's official parade sidearm from his days as an officer in the greatly diminished Red Army, it was given a very unofficial nickname when she inherited it. The titanium blade is sharp, durable, and lightweight while the decorative grip contains pressure sensitive circuitry. A squeeze of her hand sends a current of around eight thousand volts up the blade.

Even if she can't pierce their skin that much juice can inhibit a chromed up opponent just fine.

Cyberware

Nervous System

Kerenzikov- Gives a boost to Zen's reflexes for a brief moment, allowing her to dive out of the way of that grenade or intercept that punch at the last minute.

Nanorelays- A fiarly basic set of impulse boosters to extend the effects of both Kerenzikov and Sandevistan.

Sensory

DefnDum Protection System- Zen regularly fires off huge guns inside enclosed spaces, a recipe for disaster if proper precautions aren't taken. The DDPS is wired to Zen's eyes and ears, automatically dampening extremes in decibels and lumens to manageable levels.

Integumentary

Subdermal Amor- SovOil equips its security forces in the Siberian wastes with beneath-the-skin armor plate as an added defense against small arms fire.

Grounding Plating- Bounce Back and MaxDoc can help with bleeding, burns and blunt force trauma but electricity will still happily cripple a chromed-up killer. The dispersal systems through Zhenya's body ensure that any nasty electromagnetism she encounters will simply be brushed off.

Circulatory

Syn-Lungs- Being a muscular giant with metal bones will only get you so far. Zen has to lug around a lot of heavy shit at speed and doing so requires more air than a normal fleshy set of lungs can provide.

Operating System

Sandevistan- A classic piece of cyberwear used by any merc worth their fee. It's longer lasting than the Kerenzikov but comes with a larger recharge time to boot.

Frontal Cortex

Babble-On Translator: Zhenya's English is rudimentary, consisting of enough short phrases and street slang to get by but any conversation more complex than that is beyond her. The Babble-On lets her cheat by automatically filtering words in English into her native Russian and vice versa.

The standard Babble came with the option of Cool, Polite Female and Cool, Polite Male, making Zen sound entirely different than she does when using her actual speaking voice.

Skeleton

Titanium Skeleton- A reinforced skeletal structure to let Zhenya carry extreme weight and protect her knuckles in a fight.

Dense Marrow- If she needs to hit something Zen wants to hit it hard. The increased weight puts more power behind her blows so that people stay down when she tells them to.

Ocular

Röntgeneyes- A set of ocular implants from the International Electric Corporation. Despite the name they're not actually powered by X-rays but by sonar, the cyberware allowing Zen to see people through walls and track their movement using radio waves. The blurry shapes are sharpened into proper outlines by microcameras so that she knows what's on the other side of the wall. Useful when combined with high caliber weaponry that can shoot through cover.

Immune System

Pain Editor- A good quality Pain Editor numbs the sensation of injury, helping to manage shock and to keep the recipient in the fight, provided the wound isn't lethal of course. Zhenya got hers for cheap from a third-hand dealer which means that it totally blocks out the pain.

This is an extremely dangerous effect because it means that Zen runs the risk of bleeding to death if she's not careful. She won't be able to feel when her outer gear and subdermal armor are breached so she has to constantly check herself to know if she's on death's door or not. As with some natural cases of Congenital Analgesia the effect can be somewhat lessened by being treated with naloxone but this is an expensive and temporary fix.

Miscellaneous

Agent- Zhenya's cell phone, computer, personal assistant and main source of entertainment outside of murder, all in one convenient package.
Galena GA32t- A used model of an already cheap sports car, given to Zen as payment for a gig. Since she has no permanent home it pulls double duty as her bedroom and transportation.
Heavy Armorjack- In the form of an armorweave trench coat with metal plates inserted at strategic points and a laminate armor vest underneath. It won't help much if she gets shot in the legs or the head but its far better than nothing.
Everything Else- Spare ammo, spare magazines, the few hundred eddies Zhenya has left, changes of clothes, a couple blankets and the various drugs she takes. Generally strewn about the floor and trunk of her car.

Consider me interested in this one too, but I think I gotta catch up on this one's lore first to do it justice.

How politically incorrect is this RP allowed to be though? I'm thinking of making a foul-mouthed pimp character.

Troy Links is ambitious for an indie, always looking to outdo himself, never settling for subpar performance. He worked in the Night City hospital with a modest level of care, getting repairs done in a clean fashion with minimal loss of life and limb. Troy had a knack for finding and fixing wounds that rivals even seasoned ripperdocs.

However, that ambition caused a few problems for him in the past. He was a former employee at TTI, but he grew restless. The work became practice for him, and he realized that his skills had dulled from the monotony of it all. So, he left the Night City hospital, got rid of his SIN, and began work as a street doc. He barely speaks to much of anyone outside of working and negotiating, always testing new things, taking new equipment apart just to see what it does and then put it back together.

_{D A Y S - G O N E}
Excerpts from Troy’s voice logs:

“Start log. I’ve been in Night City for a while, and it’s…not what I expected. If I was told a month that I’d be getting paid to fix people up in the City of Dreams, I’d have kissed them. But now? All I feel is robbed. Everyday’s the same old shuffle: get up, head to the TTI hospital, wait for a call, hop on an AV-4, deal with some shirt or Solo who got caught up with the wrong gang, rinse, repeat. The city’s driving me crazy, and no one wants to listen. Everyone’s fine with this mindless complacency, and I was too, but not now. Now I want something more than being a number. I’m not here to waste my time on whatever issues some megacorp has. I came to Night City. make a name for myself. I’ll make this city work for me, even if it’s the death of me. End log.” - Entry No. 12

“Start log. I’m on the road to Night City, sinceI got stationed at the hospital there. The Whos said something about increased levels of crime and needing more bodies on the field. My workmates seem excited for the chance, and I can feel the anticipation going through everyone. I can’t wait to see what the city of dreams is like. So many different cultures and walks of life, and so many opportunities to shine in my own way! Frag, there’s so much to think and plan out, and so little time. I’ll figure it out later, but for now, I have to get myself a place to sleep, and some spending money. Oh, and get an address on the Net so my family can send me pictures. I plan to keep records of my time here, so I got this voice recorder. More to follow. End log.” - Entry No. 1

“Start log. I’ve taken my skills to the Black Market, and the patients are much more varied. I had seen bits of flash on some shirts in my old life, but some of the borgs have chrome I only hear rumors about! The patients pay well, and I’m looking at a set of cyberoptics with a few good functions. They’re meant for Solos and Fixers, but the UV setting is something I need for cleaning and infrared would be wondrous for finding overheating cyberware. Still, saving up for it’s gonna be a hassle, since my creds aren’t looking…great. But I’ve been getting a few more patients than the average in the past few days, so that might change soon. It’s kinda weird to imagine where I was a year ago. The lessons I learned on the Trauma Team stick with me even now. Being a ripper for the TTI wasn’t the worst decision I’ve made, and leaving wasn’t the best. But it’s fine, I’m fine. I’ve acclimated to this life. Still, I stay up at night thinking about these things. Heh, I shouldn’t dwell on it too much, so I’ll sign off here. End log.” - Entry No. 36

_{M E M O R I E S}
Excerpts from Troy’s voice logs:

“Start log. Some bount from TTI tried to chalk me out a couple days ago. The good news is he’s not going back to report to them, I made sure of it. I won’t be going down that alley until the badges clear the place though. At least I was alone when it happened, so no witnesses to deal with. But there’s a catch, as always. The bount got off a few shots from his taser, and it shorted out some of my optics, and partially disabled the jazz I’d had implanted. Hopefully the effects will wear off so I can get back to practice. But this brings up a worrisome problem. A bunch of megacorps are making some really big moves, and the Market’s reaching Chinese takeout levels of chaos, and it doesn’t seem to be letting up soon. I need some muscle, and I need it sooner than later. For the moment, I’ll lay low and see what comes up. End log.” - Entry No. 80

“Start log. First, an update. The optics and jazz are now back to functioning at full performance. The twitcher incident was a setback, but the effects of it have chilled. Now, for more interesting news. I recently came across a group of mercenaries asking for my talents. Night City’s been going to drek for a while, and I’ve never had so many patients in my life. It’s dangerous to be alone, and this might be my chance to be more than some expendable Street Doc. They seem to be a decent lot, but not many have medical experience, so I have decided to fill the gap. Hopefully the biz isn’t too bad. I don’t much care about their ideals, but an opportunity’s an opportunity. More to follow as needed. End log.” - Entry No. 88

”I never was good at packing. Still, this should be enough.”

Rainbow Optics: A series of cyberoptics and bioware that let Troy see multiple wavelengths of light, including infrared, ultraviolet, and gamma rays for rapid diagnosis. These enhancements also give him telescopic vision, but Troy rarely uses this for anything besides delicate surgery and fine repairs.
Jazz Hands: A pair of chips in each of Troy’s forearms that earned him the nickname Fingers. These implants keep his hands steady under high stress, letting Troy give aid even in a gunfight. As a side effect, Troy’s aim is unnaturally steady.

Important possessions:

Slide: A Tsunami Nue with a few modifications to make sure it never needs any significant repairs.

Bug Out bag: A duffel bag filled with surgeon’s tools, a Swiss Army knife, a bag of spare syringe tips, some creds, a few changes of clothes, a taser, and a gun cleaning kit.

The cure: A tempered glass bottle of a combination of cyanide and a fast acting corroding agent, as well as a piston. Perfect for sparing patients the suffering of cyberpsychosis. “May come in handy sooner rather than later.”
