No one remembers when it first started, if old legends are to be believed, it was thousands and thousands of years ago, regardless of when or how it came to be, superhumans now roam the Earth, and things will never be the same. A sudden influx of parahumans that occurred in the late 2080s, has made Night City even more of a technological marvel than it already was. In the year 2094, despite the devastation of the Fifth Corporate War, Night City managed to withstand the test of time and create the world's largest gateway to Space. The Orbital Elevator™, run by Weyland-Yutani Corporation connects Earth to a sprawling station that hovers just outside its atmosphere. Its advent has made space travel much more affordable and Earth's expansion out of the solar system has lessened the crippling resource shortage that once shocked the world. Though it had been a long time, the world looked hopeful again.

That changed on January 1st, 2122, when the Earth lost contact with the USS ATLAS, a colony space vessel that had been acomppanied by a sizeable military escort. There was a global outcry, what was it exactly, in the vast deep expanse of space that had happened to the millions of people that had been sent to the Hyades Cluster? Before the world had time to ponder the mystery further, nightmarish creatures began to rise out of the ocean. While some of these beasts were only about the size of a great white shark, others towered well over forty stories high.

The world scrambled to defend itself, and despite the massive death tolls and destruction caused by attacks perpetuated by these beasts, the megacorporations were unready and unwilling to pose a united front. Swaths of land were lost to these attacks before a global coalition was formed to deal with the attacks and mankind currently hangs on by a thread.

Despite that here you are, in the year 2188, living in Night City; one of the last great cities, a bastion of humanity that could be swept away at any moment. Whether it was the need to be a hero, the want for power, or the fact that you had no other options, it is time for you to carve out whatever niche you can before the whole world goes tits up for the last time.


Hello and welcome, this is an interest check for a Cyberpunk-based story with many different fandoms sprinkled in. The basis for most story beats will be a cross-between Cyberpunk, Alien, Pacific Rim, various Superhero mediums, World of Darkness, some Lovecraft, and a few others. That being said, any story beats are welcome, so long as they mesh with the overall feel of the story and you run them by me first.

I ask at minimum that your posts are literate and add enough to the story that others have something to reply to. There will be no minimum post size. At least one post a week will be expected, but usually more often. As usual, no God-moding, being a jerkward, intentionally trying to ruin the story, etc.

This is NOT a first come first serve RP, character applications will open in a couple of days or whenever we have enough interest, whichever comes first. There is no limit to how many people can work for/with/against a certain Megacorporation, the story will simply change to reflect our roster of characters.

Awesome! I'm glad to see interest from everyone. I'll be putting together a small lore doc first, just to help flesh out everyone's ideas, then character applications will open up shortly after.

I am excited to start and see what our characters look like! I will probably also look for a co-dm, just to keep everything moving smoothly. The most important thing is that everyone is having fun and feels like they are able to contribute to the story and their character's arcs in a meaningful way ^_^
 
Bump!
Started the lore page also, will continue to update it:
 
I never played the new cyberpunk game.i should?
Not necessary to participate. Ive only taken some of the lore from Cyberpunk. Some of it is even from the tabletop RPG, and not the video game anyways, so playing the game might even end up being more confusing 😅
 
Now the question is...
- Diego Murrieta aka Cazador; Nomad Himbo Solo with a heart of gold and big iron?
- Kenzo Kincaid, aka Scarecrow; disgraced Arasaka samurai with Big Wick Energy?
 
Bump!
Started the lore page also, will continue to update it:
Presuming the Cyberpunk major players beyond Arasaka are still in the game, just not added yet?
ie Militech, Biotechnica, Petrochem, Malorian, etc etc?

I’m honestly not sure yet. I was going to subsume some of them into some OC megacorps. For example militech never got off the ground before it was bought out by the Lockheed megacorp.

That being said, if you’d like to have any Cyberpunk MegaCorps around for plot/character reasons, feel free to let me know and we can throw them in there
 
Would love to join. Debating characters but given the lore a harmless bug controller or innocent healer came to mind. 😋

As for Corps. MaxTac or Trauma Team seems like it would be a idea.
 
I mean, Militech is the opposite side of the coin to Arasaka, being the defacto arms and security contractor for NUSA. The power vacuum created by the collapse of one of the biggest players in every Corporate War since the 90s would be something to behold, but also a massive change to the global landscape. Come down to how much work you want to put into setting the stage.
