name: ¿? (pronounced "you think about all this way more than I do!") (pronounced "to pronounce it correctly, I'd have to cut out your tongue!") (pronounced "make a noise & see if I respond!") (no pronunciation) (super helpful pronunciation guide audio recording below!* <3)
alias: V
gender: probably not
lifepath: streetkid techie who later got into hacking
favorite ripper: Vik Vektor
favorite fixer: Muamar "El Capitán" Reyes

bonus fun facts:
fan of AssaultBots & MythSploders (2077 versions of BattleBots & MythBusters yes we just made them up but it's absolutely true anyway)
favorite MythSploders quotes include "When in doubt: C4" -Savage Adam & "Jaime wants big boom" -Jaime the CyberWalrus (yes these bonus fun facts were just an elaborate reason to include these quotes yet somehow still important characterization anyway)
*super helpful pronunciation guide audio recording:
(bonus pronunciation description explanation below the cut)
While asking questions about ¿?, I kept thinking of a joke that seemingly would only work in text:
"I'm ¿?"
"Wha- WTF was that?! How do you pronounce that again?!"
"¿?"
"You know what? Nevermind."
Because it's cyberpunk, I kept picturing it as "*opens mouth, tech glitch sound comes out*" until I finally realized I could create that sound!
So, if I may, let me take you on a journey of how my brain works:
First, I looked for a recording of V saying, "I'm V." Simple right? I came up empty. So I went through the character creator, waited for the music to calm the fuck down, & recorded both voices multiple times just in case. Then I took a sample of just "male voice" V & put it through a granular synthesizer where I was able to do this:
That's left (¿) & right (?) audio (dots omitted to minimize sonic overload) each tracing separate paths through the audio "I'm V" at the same time. I was like
"lulz let's hear this chaos!"
"..."
"oh no I love it"
So I hit record, only to realize they're slightly different length lines at slightly different speeds creating this shifting effect over multiple loops. I decided to record a full cycle loop & see if there's a "best" one. Except first, I was curious what it would sound like if I isolated each loop & layered them all on top of each other, like so:
"Oh No I LOVE It"
I panned each loop differently to really emphasize the movement of the sound so if you're listening through headphones, it really does end up sounding like something resembling "¿?"
But I don't want to make final decisions about my partner's character, ya know? Luckily it only took a single listen:
"Yeah, that's how it's officially pronounced. Good luck trying to pronounce that!"
So there you have it! "Good luck!"
(Personally, I just say "your streetkid V" outloud, WAY easier lol)
damn I am fucking OVER typing the words "pronounced" & "pronunciation" @_@

Fury au where tsubasa and hikaru travel together. This actively makes things worse but does mean we get to see hikaru punch johannes
Depression duo, let's goooo :D
Tsubasa: Man, I can't believe we can't travel with the rest of the group. I feel completely isolated from our friends😔
Hikaru:👁👄👁 wow yeah can't imagine the feeling.
Hikaru gets to fight in the Destroyer Dome, furthering Gingka's belief that the WBBA employees are his dad's favorites lol. And there's even a record number of girls in that tournament already (a whole TWO) so Hikaru could build some homoerotic rivalries along with the rest of the gang! Good for her.
I imagine during the whole Tower of Babel debacle she'd be violently determined to get to the top, just absolutely clawing her way up that tower through every other blader, fueled by some need to prove she's far stronger than she was before. But when she gets up there and comes face-to-face with Ryuga, she's just... "nah." and walks all the way back down. Decides she doesn't need that rn. Knows Tsubasa's gonna get his ass beat. They can have a heart to heart about it later it's okay.
Probably also has a moment with Angst Mode Kenta like:
"What are you doing following that maniac"
"I just have to do this😤😔🥺"
*aims gun Aquario* "That's not a fuckin' answer mate"
If you'd care to elaborate on this idea, my ears are wide awake👀👂
