Futuristic CYBERPUNK: Archangel - Information

MESSAGE RECEIVED

"Umm… I dunno who this is even for, but… Nyx threatened to cut both my hands off and shove them up my [redacted] if I didn't make this message. It's not like she normally tells me what's going on anyway so what the hell.

Welcome to the crew kid. Maybe you got enticed by our 'generous' cut, or our recent gig, but most likely it's just Ares’ rep. Well, hate to tell you, but he’s gone. MaxTac zeroed his ass ‘bout a month back, along with half our crew. Albert? Head blown off. Felicia? Luck ran out. Brace? Flatlined with about a thousand bullets. Sweet little Adeline? In two pieces.

Hope you don’t believe in curses. Otherwise, if there was ever a time to delta, now’s that time. Still here? Preem.

I’d like to say we have a pretty full schedule, gigs lined up ready for us to roll out the eddies, but right now we just need scratch to fill our pockets and some petty revenge. Before all that, though, Nyx is always paranoid, so we need some guarantee you're not some gonk and that you can c-ya when you need to. Nyx's pretty good at getting the detes on people so I'm not overly worried if she's sending this out to you personally, but you're still getting a little test. Probably. She had me fetch a teddy bear from a cyberpsycho for mine.

When you're done, bring it to our little meeting spot, this warehouse in Watson - detes attached. And don't worry. We'll fly too close to the sun again soon enough."

GM NOTES

Your character is… someone in Night City. Or no one. The difference between the two seems to get more and more blurred every day. Regardless, at some point along the line you heard about Ares and his crew. Unification War veteran, remarkable solo, heart of gold. Except gold melts too easily. He's gone, flatlined after botching a simple run that most people didn’t even hear about. But for some reason, his netrunner, Nyx, wants new chooms. Well, better a time than any to chip in, right?

This will be a 3rd person past-tense novella style roleplay. Writing that is both free of most errors and engaging to read is required.

Your character will be required to go through this introduction. All things in the story will be split between the main story and side gigs. In the main story, your character is controlled by you, however their stats will determine the consequences of their actions. In side gigs, you will have more freedom, as it is more of a method of collecting information that you or your character may find interesting. This introduction will be considered a side gig, though it directly ties into the main story.

Please read each thread carefully, and make sure to post each response in the correct thread.

NYX
▽▽▽
A former Maelstrom member, left when things went too… freaky. She maintained a couple connections still, and it’s easy to see why - her netrunning ability when it comes to digging up detes to blackmail is second to none. Always relaxed, easy to talk to, a bit noir, just don’t ask what her age is unless you have a burning desire to see how netrunning can be used to torture people.

YUDAI HIDAKA
▽▽▽
Loath to say what his business was before joining up with Ares, but it probably had something to do with the Tyger Claws. Probably. Have you seen the way he dresses? That, and the fact that he takes a katana fight waaaaay too seriously. And speaking of seriously, that's the exact opposite of how he rolls, except when you touch his bike.

SCAN RESULTS
ATARA
▽▽▽
Quiet, slightly cynical, Atara settled into the crew after Nyx found her rather pitifully trying to convince people she was capable of running a gig at the mere age of 13. Though she's stated she doesn't have any cyberware in her head, she's still quite good at providing support with her phone and pistol or with her laptop and sniper rifle when in a nest somewhere.

PHOEBE
▽▽▽
As if Ares didn't get enough netrunners to join in on his crew. More of a quickhacker than a deep diver like Nyx, she like to run the show with her drones that act as her eyes and ears. Aside from that, she doesn't talk much. After Ares' death, she's been laying low, only showing up occasionally just to check in. And also to crack open a cold one. Probably mostly to crack open a cold one.

VANCE HART
▽▽▽
Fought on the side of the NUSA in the Unification War. Though he considers Arasaka a complete shit stain on the earth, ended up in Night City because he considers the NUSA government even more despicable for the cardinal sin of backing down. Ties to 6th Street, obviously, as if you needed any more qualifications than he does to buddy buddy with arms-toting war veterans.

CANDY
▽▽▽
Owner of 777th and technically Vance's second, if he had to pick a second. Fire on the tire, lass on the gas, frost on the exhaust, when she's not tempering Vance's enormous ego she's living and breathing anything on wheels that chugs CHOOH2. Unless she's in the driver seat. Then she's crazier than all the cyberpsychos that seems to be running around these days.

MICHEAL RIVERA
▽▽▽
Once a nomad, Michael settled in Night City after some differences with his clan. A solo with remarkable aim thanks to special optics, he treasures his two Liberty pistols almost as much as he treasures his custom-rigged Quadra Type-66 640 TS “Maria”. With a fiery personality, definitely don’t make the mistake of calling him “Spikey Mikey” like someone did in the past.

LUNA
▽▽▽
At one point, she was in with the Moxes, mostly catering to an audience solely comprised of the female variety after she'd broken one too many... never mind. After igniting her fiery personality in the midst of a particularly violent run-in with the Tyger Claws, she found edgerunning a more suitable occupation than edging and has been in Vance's crew ever since.

JAZZ
▽▽▽
Vance's war buddy. He does a lot more brooding than actually getting anything done, but the warpath he wreaked during the actual war goes to show how much of a natural he is at fighting. Especially close quarters fighting. Still, he'd rather do some flashy tricks with three knives than stick people with them, or shoot a beer can out of the air than someone's head.

FAUST
▽▽▽
Ripperdoc, though once upon a time an actual doc. Whether it was because of medical malpractice or something more sinister, had his medical license revoked and standing in the scientific community shattered. Could ask why, but you really don't want to ask the person poking around your insides the wrong questions. Offers discounts for... uniquely conditioned people.
