NETWATCH RAPPORT - 20740512 : Agent 44421-N - SARTO, VIRGILE - had a panic attack during deep net session. The circumstances surrounding this incident are not yet known. The most likely hypothesis is an attack by a rogue AI, causing the system to malfunction or even hallucinate. Sarto woke up, started shaking, ripped out his cable, started screaming and calling for help. He fell from his chair, crawling before falling unconscious to the floor. Sarto has been under psychiatric care since his arrival at NetWatch, and his doctor has clearly indicated that he is being treated for his anxiety and depression, but that his regular use of drugs and alcohol is not helping the situation, nor is his break-up with Evelyn Parker. Rest day allowed: 1

set was possible thanks to @86maylin and her awesome glowing eyes mods !!

Vijay's theme playlist.

Netrunner His main theme song represents his hobby and profession: being a netrunner. ever since he knows how to use a computer he's living 50% of his time on the net, exploring, discovering, reading, understanding the net and all its facettes, always learning something new ever since he got his cyberdeck. He uses it for fun as much as he does use it for work. Sometimes simultaneously. He loves recreating the interface and his own is a fully Vaporwave-y world in bright neons, with grids and typical Vaporwave art icons. The sound of the song is like his character: friendly with a Vaporwave-y touch, showing he's got a warm soul and is rather playful and cheery than dark and mysterious.

Malware Injection sounds more professional, like when he's working serious business now, ready to infiltrate through the net. He knows his way around active defense programs when he tries to enter data fortresses in different ways, knows how to rewrite codes, cloak himself, even create chameleon programs to avoid to get caught and uploads daemons to breach easily into systems for deleting data or mine it simultaneously to get all the information he can find. It's addictive and thrilling.

Damage can be seen as his battle theme. He's a pro level netrunner and capable of inflicting serious damage to his enemies via hacking their (cyberware) systems (he is a good gunslinger in real life as well btw). Most of the time he uses non lethal quickhacks and supports his teammates rather than taking active action in fights. He plays with his enemies causing several weapon glitches, system resets, reboot optics and overheating. No matter what he does; it's definitely some kind of damage. And if he wants to he can be dead serious and cause huge damage as well, therefore 'I'm the damage". The song has a sort of threatening melody. What V says, he means and will do.

Synapse Burnout is another battle theme song that tells he's no casual netrunner and capable to do lethal damage if he needs to. When he does, it hits unexpectedly. One moment you were fine, the next your synapses are burning out bringing you a painful end as your brain gets deep fried.

System Malfunction serves as the song for his almost never showing dark side. Even his system can malfunction if he loses control over it (gets or let himself get hacked). When it does, it sounds like this song. He did actions in the past where he clearly wasn't himself and that he regrets having done. He knows that his netrunner abilities are a powerful weapon once you know how it really works, but he does not fully make use of it. It is dangerous and can make you feel almost untouchable. Therefore he fears it will consume him one day if he makes use of it. He gained full control over it but he senses there's something locked away in the depths of his mind lingering there, waiting to be released to inflict serious damage, to kill, sounding exactly as brutal and hard like this song shows. He also senses there's something in the net that wants to make him do again what he did in the past. It's subtle but Vijay clearly senses it unable to make out its source. And it frightens him because he noticed the signal gets stronger with every year passing by he spends in Night City.

Memory Upload is the song for the good moments. Moments he treasures by uploading pictures and recordings into his personal cloud so he has access to them whenever he feels like replaying them. Moments like those with Ryder full of fun and stupidity, hotheaded situations and rave-y long nights or just chilling in their personal spaces listening to good old Depeche Mode on vinyl. And Moments with Arki sharing sweet togetherness and a love he never felt before. Pictures of the man he loves when he looks cute in private, hair all rebellious curly, sweet smile on his lips that seemed to grow with time passing on since they met, red eyes always looking desirably back at him. Moments with Hizumi spending time at the temple, having onigiri and talking about everything that comes to their minds. But also moments of Ryder and Thyjs together V secretly did especially when the two looked super cute together. And all other moments with his other beloved friends in Night City he treasured as well.

WIP Whenever

I was tagged by @medtech-mara for the weekly WIP report. Here's the latest stories.

Cyberpunk RED: How to Save a Life

"My name's Avery, I'm a netrunner."

Cyberpunk RED-era Data Entry, using default Photo Mode frames and backgrounds.

Yesterday I revealed Avery Greer, an FIA netrunner. She's cynical, possibly clinically depressed (my notes say that she's pathologically unable to smile) and desires change in her life. She has already decided that her future does not involve the NUSA or the FIA. She may already have plans in motion to engineer her escape.

She works under a senior FIA agent named Hunter 'Bishop' Wilkes. Bishop is ride-or-die for the NUSA and has already been betrayed by a netrunner before (their AV was hacked by a netrunner who made a covert deal with an African militia to hand over FIA secrets in exchange for safe passage to Nairobi, and from Nairobi to Luna). He already suspects that her change in behaviour could be a prelude to betrayal, and already has her under close watch.

You're gonna see more of her.

Bakeneko: Select images from their latest show

A teaser for a photo story coming next week!

Vega Hawse sings Bakeneko's first original song Wolverines!, written by Dorian 'Durian' Bautista (image credit: NCT News)

Another day, another pic in the screamsheets of So Mi living her best life in NC with Vega (this displeases Myers).

In 2078, Dorian Bautista (y'know, Dorian, the former corpo, turned fixer, then rockerboy) founded a band named Bakeneko ("Changed Cat"). They originally were a Samurai cover band, but something was off about their sound.

Then V came back... well, kinda. Vega's technically genetically 33% Johnny Silverhand and is a hybrid consciousness, but one with all of Johnny's memories and skills, as well as perfect knowledge of every SAMURAI song. Dorian reached out, and after some slightly mocking encouragement from Johnny, Vega joined Bakeneko and became the band's frontwoman.

In mid-2079, Bakeneko signed on with Silverhand Studios. While they still do SAMURAI covers, Vega (and by proxy, Johnny) and Dorian are working on an original EP, due to come out in 2080. Rumours that Kerry Eurodyne will appear in one of the songs are currently unconfirmed by N54 News.

MR BLUE EYES INTERROGATES AN FIA ASSASSIN

Warning: the following story references torture

The agent sat in the darkened room, his face and chest bloody. Electrodes were still attached to the more sensitive parts of his chest and torso. A black-uniformed soldier with blue glowing techgogs threw a bucket of icy water over the agent. He yelped as the ice pelted his bruised and bloodied skin, "Wake the fuck up, fedscum!"

"What the fuck do you want!?" screamed the agent, "just tell me what you want! I'll tell you anything! Just make it stop!"

A man stepped into the room, temporarily blinding the agent as the light of the hallway blasted into the room. He turned to the soldier, his blue eyes glowing in the darkness, "That'll be all."

"Sir."

Mr Blue Eyes circled the FIA agent, "Who was your target?"

"It was a traitor."

Mr Blue Eyes produced a stun baton, and without a second thought, drove the baton into the man's ribs. He cried in pain as electricity coursed through his vulnerable flank, "Specifics, please, Mr Jordan."

"It... her name is Song So Mi. She attempted to kill President Myers. There's a one million eddie bounty on her head."

He nodded, putting the baton back on the tool bench, "See, you can be cooperative... I'm going to let you go, Mr Jordan. In a few hours, you'll be back in Langley, no doubt being treated by the FIA's best medtechs."

"W-what?"

"But not without conditions," Mr Blue Eyes told him, kneeling and grabbing the man by the jaw so his eyes met the agent's, "You'll be sending Ms. Myers a message. Night City is off limits to the NUSA, and by extension, so are Song So Mi and Vega Hawse. If me, or my associates, find your agency operating in our city again, and especially if we find you harassing them, there will be consequences."

"A-are you nuts? Myers will never listen to that!"

Mr B shrugged, "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, Mr Jordan. All you need to do is deliver the message to the FIA, and you'll be home free. Do we have an accord?"

Jordan bowed his head, "Fine."

Mr B turned to the soldier, "Find this man some clothes and bring him to NCX. He has a flight to catch back to Washington."

"Yes, sir."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's about it for this week. Normally these come around Wednesday, but today's the day I guess.

People have probably already been tagged for this, but I'm gonna tag: @genocidalfetus @byberbunk2069 @theviridianbunny. Absolutely no pressure involved, only if you want to :)

[dani-the-goblin]

Tell me the lore around captioning Dr Cahill pics with binary

Okay! I really want to answer this question without giving too much away. Giah's whole existence is a puzzle, right? If I've done what I set out to, you can look back at her posts and put a lot of this together.

So, the lore: she is an incredibly skilled netrunner and scientist. One whose whole job, up until very recently, was to remain as hidden as possible and ...."keep tabs" on V. If she's doing her job right, that's the only way you'll ever hear her. At this point, code is just how she thinks. It's her primary language.

If it wasn't for her side job, she very well might have lost the ability to speak by now. Not like that was ever the point. Her mouth is regularly preoccupied anyway, but it's bonus.

She does make a few exceptions, like in Critical:

^ pics from our Cyberpunk Red game night 😀. I swear, this is the best fried chicken place in Singapore >_<

Also... I know Halloween is coming... but does my friend/our party's Exec really need to pull this kind of spooky surprise on me ಠ_ಠ

After the trouble our Rockerboy got into with Militech and NCPD, Exec and my Netrunner's NCPD chief friend feels it's better if Rockerboy leaves the city for awhile...

I thought we were just going to work with the nomads to transport something to Cali, but Exec just informed me that we'll be travelling with a few raffen too ಠ_ಠ. Like why. And what makes you think I'm ok with this ಠ_ಠ

"I need them cos they are familiar with Dogtown". Dogtown. DOGTOWN.

Why are we going to Dog Frigging Town?! I don't want to go in there??? I feel like I'll catch 6 different kind of diseases the moment my foot touches the ground >:U

If what you're transporting to Cali can only be picked up from Dogtown... I don't even want to know what kind of illegal nonsense Exec is getting himself into this time. I'm not paid enough to do this omg

And like no offence to our Wraiths Nomad (okay, full offence) but as my Netrunner, I don't even trust him on most days. I don't even like it when he drives me around. I'm civil with him now, but I still rather not associate with a raffen

I know the kind of shady stuff raffens do cos he is the kind of person dad/Arasaka hires when they want to commit unsavoury deeds ಠ_ಠ

And like, the upper management of Arasaka rather not interact directly with raffens. If raffens are hired, it's usually via a lower ranking employee acting as the middle man. My dad refuses to speak to them too ಠ_ಠ

My Netrunner interacting with our Wraith means she's really fallen from grace after defecting from Arasaka ;_;

He even tried to nab me the first time we met and now you want me to travel with his pack of rabies infested rats ಠ_ಠ. Like why. And why did you think I'll be ok with this ಠ_ಠ. I have 0 reason to like him and he is unbothered by how much I dislike him ಠ_ಠ

Rockerboy really dislikes him too for personal reasons, so I can't believe he's willing to travel with Wraiths just for a chance to mess with Militech again ಠ_ಠ

Netrunner Chairs & UNI EP Brain Machine

Netrunner Lounge Chair

I had to drastically resize & reshape this mesh in order for sims to be able to sit on it somewhat naturally -- in addition to shaving off some serious polys, and it’s still pushing 10k.

Netrunner Chair as UNI EP Brain Machines (Cheap & Pro)

I was too way lazy to frankenmesh the University EP’s consoles & machines with C2077′s netrunner chairs (too many geostates, I refuse), so instead I just made the chairs solo. So unfortunately, the glowy special effects like the static electricity float in the air for no reason, where the extra bits of the machine mesh would have been. Ah well. At least it’s functional, sue me.

Ice Rug for Tubs

Ah yes, nothing like a nice soak in a vat of ice to beat that sweltering tropical heat! (Or as a DIY way for the body to enter cryostasis so that traversing Cyberspace doesn’t fry your implants right out of their sockets & kill you.)

Clipping will occur with several bathtubs, especially all the round ones. Fully recolorable. High poly (pushing 10k), so don’t go crazy.

Veve Wall & Floor Lights

I already made a bunch of RL voodoo wall & floor veve markings as regular decor, but when I saw the ones in C2077 I was like I gotta do something extra this time. So I decided to make these as lights, so they could “glow in the dark.“ You can turn them on/off if you want, and they’re recolorable.

Veve Floor Lights

Veve Wall Lights

VB INSP Wall Lights

Monitor Table Lights & PC

Hands down my fave part of the whole collection -- AND the hardest effing CC I learned how to make this year so far. This is my first time experimenting with the Fullbright shader AND animated textures, and good lord I had to test these a bunch of times -- major shout out to @aisquaredchoco​​​ for helping me test! 👍

Monitor Table Light & Keyboard as Functional PC

Following the same premise as my other keyboard & monitor set here, the Keyboard is a functional computer, and the Monitor is a table light with different screen variations:

6 Monitors as Table Light

These are the same monitors I converted here, just retextured using some of C2077′s screens instead.

The themes I was going for were generic news, music, hacker, medic/ripperdoc, and generic travel & weather.

I also added the Fullbright shader, so that the monitor always glows, even when the lights are off.

Animated Monitor as Table Light & Wall TV

Last but certainly not least, the coup de gras: animated textures!

The Animated Monitor as Table Light is a bigger version of the non-animated monitor above, but with far less variations, to give a more hacker-type vibe.

The Animated Wall Monitor is a functional TV that sims can watch & interact with, but you won’t be able to actually SEE the shows on the screen, just listen. Sorryboutit. It has all the same recolorable hacker-inspired variations as the table light.

________________________________________________

VB CAS CC Set

The CAS CC should be self explanatory, made up of accessories and 2 body tattoos.

Placide Tubes as Armband (Trimmer & Bulkier) (REQUIRES SUPERNATURAL EP for fit/fat morphs). Y/A-AM, Everyday - Outerwear.

Placide Head Cybernetics ACC (Y/A-AM, Everyday - Outerwear. Found under Earrings)

Maman Brigitte Coat (basegame & SN EP versions). Y/A-AF, Everyday - Outerwear. Found under Garters (scroll all the way down past the Socks)

Misty’s Necklace (Trim) FIXED! (REQUIRES SUPERNATURAL EP for fit/fat morphs)

Grizzly Necklace, Bone Ladder Necklace, Bone Belt (all REQUIRE SUPERNATURAL EP for fit/fat morphs). Y/A-A Unisex, Everyday - Outerwear. (The Belt is found under Rings btw.)

OCtober by  @oc-growth-and-development

Day 10 - 17

oc Goldstreik

didn’t do day 15 Myth

Day 10 is prob. my fav out of the bunch but it’s strongly inspired by the wonderful pic netrunner by Galen Dara. Fell in love with it when I saw it and always thought the esthetic was great for this character. The style a. colors are different but the composition is pretty much the same so just wanted to make sure to say that I didn’t come up with it and credit the inspiration.

ref. pics: day 17

otherwise mostly used pose references out of an e-book by Justin Martin

[ieiwi]

Today is self indulgent pics of my V day. Just now getting use to the idea that I can talk about what I want here so info about my girl under the cut, mostly for my reference :P

Her name is Veronica Quinn Kruczynski, I took the streedkid lifepath for her, but I tweak a few things here and there in my hc.

Veronica was a runaway when she was a kid, her parents being two (relatively) well off social climbers who kept her pretty isolated within the confines of their building complex. She was a coding prodigy as a kid and promptly became her mother's project which she promptly developed into the worst kind of stage mom. Eventually the hot and cold of her distant dad and overwhelming mother led her to run away as a kid. She mostly made her way ripping off ATMs which made her a valuable asset to other streetkids and she found a place there.

She actually knew Misty in passing growing up, and when Jackie introduced her to Vic she was the one who suggested the storefront.

Eventually in her teens she started doing tech work for the local club scene. Around this time she deleted all traces of her original identity from the NCPD database, a move that put her on the radar of the local merc scene who saw her potential and hooked her up with their fixers. In the move to Atlanta I feel like it makes more sense for Jackie/Vs friendship to have the two year weight to it, rather than the six months we were told so in my mind I kinda swap two years in Atlanta for two years with Jackie and have V in Atlanta chasing a doomed relationship there for about six months before coming home.

Combat wise she uses a pistol/smg but primarily uses stealth and quickhacking to do the majority of the work. TBH I dont know if she would qualify as more of a techie or a netrunner more - a little of both? Either way she had little to no fucking clue who Johnny was but when he mentioned he dated Alt Cunningham she had stars in her eyes. Pre-Johnny she is WAY more science/math savvy than in the arts.

[valravnocs]

I HAVE FOUR NEW OCS theyre Jr. OCs bc they’re made 2 go with Draha and Warren BUT im gonna post lil baby summaries of them all..... YES i have pics made but even tho the picrew maker says edits r allowed i feel bad........ so idk if im gonna post them or not lol *dies* ANYWAYS

all 4 of these dudes/dudettes r Kin (supernatural beings)

1) Frej (it/its + masc; gay)

Frej is an Ekimmu Netrunner.... roughly summarized from the Nightlife guide, it’s part of a race of kin, appearing as a gruesome corpse that’s born after someone breaks a vow to tend to a grave. Frej was twenty when it died in a car accident, and is one of the rare group of Kin associated with Draha who were born after the transition into the cyberpunk future of the 2020s. Coming from a low-ranking Corporate family, its parents abandoned its grave after both receiving large promotions (grief can disrupt corporate loyalty, after all). When reborn, Ekimmu maintain any and all injuries sustained before death, meaning Frej looks rather gruesome— that’s part of the reason it chose to become a Netrunner, living in the world of cyberspace where people only see its avatar; there’s a lot less fear and judgement on the Net. Moody and rash, Frej takes a long time to warm up to people, but it’s close friends with Eumelia. Vega and Cassian can’t stand it— they feel like it doesn’t take its work seriously enough. It and Eumelia share a morbid sense of humor, though, part of their ways of coping with being a reanimated corpse, and in Eumelia’s case being nearly 3,000 years old. When not jacked in to the Net, Frej tends to dress in bright colors and tacky fashions. He has bright pink hair, no eyes (he usually wears bandages over them), greyed skin and multiple large lacerations on his chest, hands, and smaller ones face (a cut lip, a cut on his forehead, and a chunk torn from his ear).

2) Vega (she/her; bi)

An Animate, Vega awoke in a panic and, upon seeing her body, crushed the head of her creator with her bare hands. That was when she knew if she wanted to live any normal sort of life, she’d have to become a Solo. The head of Draha’s entire squad of Solos, Vega is the best of the best of the best. Incredibly strong AND incredibly smart, Vega also gas excellent reflexes and always knows how to keep her cool. She’s close friends with Eumelia because their work often draws them together— with high quantities of cybernetics and regular weapons as well, if Vega ever needs a repair she goes directly to Eumelia. Vega is fairly close to Cassian as well, viewing him as a younger brother (even though he’s older than her in years). Though er body and mind are that of an approximately 36 year old woman, Vega has only truly been alive for about fifteen years. She’s rebellious and antisocial, rarely interacting with humans, even ones within Drahomír’s ranks. She keeps her hair in a curly black undercut, and her eyes are a cloudy white (she relies on cybernetics to see). Her skin is divided in patches of a dull green, grey, and normal flesh-colored, showing the variations of freshness among the corpses her creator used. The thick black stitching has become a fashion statement for her, as much as her ear, eyebrow, and tongue piercings.

3) Cassian (he/him)

He may look like a fourteen year old, but if you underestimate Cassian it will be the last thing you do. A water spirit called an Asrai, Cassian has actually been alive for forty-five years. He lives in the fountain outside Draha’s mansion, and acts as a lawyer for the vampire. Once working for one of the largest Kin-run corporations, he left that job when he realized he’d much rather avoid the ruthlessness of the corporate ladder. The most respected of Draha’s team and the most ruthless, Cassian benefits from the naturally high intelligence and cool of his race. Serious and aloof, Cassian rarely makes true friends, though he is relatively close to Vega, and he tolerates Eumelia. While he acknowledges Frej’s talent on the Net, he doesn’t think it should act anywhere near as childish as it does. Cassian has light blue-tinged skin and often sheds water droplets, with uniform blue-green eyes (no irises or pupils) and shimmering white hair. He dresses only in suits, generally tailor made because his body is both young in appearance and only around four and a half feet tall.

4) Eumelia (she/her; lesbian)

2,897 years old, Eumelia is a Medusa. Born in ancient Greece, her mother raised her within a small clan of Medusae, but a falling out would mean that eventually Eumelia would go off on her own. Much, much older than Draha, she has more than earned his respect through that fact alone— she doesn’t really have any aspirations for control, though. She’s seen men struggle for power and fail too many times. The best Techie in the business, Eumelia can make any sort of gadget or cybernetic implant your heart could desire, often spending time around Vega; they share a love for the weapons of the future. Casual and laid-back, many men who come to her underestimate her intelligence... and wind up turned to stone. While glamoured, she appears as a regular woman with green hair (the style varies)— when not glamoured, she has snakes for hair and batlike wings growing from her back, as well as luminescent yellow eyes. Her dress style tends to be rather free; why should she stop herself from wearing whatever she wants? She’s almost three thousand years old, after all. If she wants to wear just overalls and a bra with her high-heeled boots, goddamnit she’s gonna. She has a girlfriend currently, a Daemon also on Draha’s paycheck, and they’ve been happily together for about ten years. Eumelia gets along well with both Frej and Vega, but finds Cassian a little too uptight for her tastes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY TWO RUNNER TWINS: JAYSEN & VIJAY

⚠️ READ: Please do not repost/reupload any of my art here or to any other platform, or I will be forced to do anything to get it annihilated.

They don't look like netrunners but they are – a very special and unique kind of runners <3

And I hope to picture this special kind more in the future.

I love they look so alike but at the same time so different. They grew up apart from each other. Only met in their 30s. Jay knew about V, but V didn't. Together they are unstoppable and might turn everything into trouble. FYI: Vijay is the more reserved of the two, Jaysen the rowdy one, but when Jay is around V, he tends to infect V with it as well.

I wanted to take proper pics but my game didn't let me yesterday. The more glad I was I took these two shots last Sunday after updating Jay as i feared I would not get to it (more bc of work, not the game refusing to load the save file).

Somehow I had the idea to add some weird glitch effect. This is just me experimenting. Might or might not refine this into something.

I'm just so happy I created Jay for V as the 'older' brother <3 The idea of him started about a year ago. Idk anymore when exactly but I know I must have created Jay by the end of March? I have to look it up! V whereas has been around since game release but I will give him his creation day in August (2022) when I made him as pc version instead of December (2020).

Jaysen had to hold back long enough, right? So have a bratty rowdy netrunner gunslinger! <3

Spontaneous pics as always. I've tried to re-outfit JayJay yesterday. Was a bit complicated since I'm thinking about giving him a different tattoo ate most of the time but this is a task for another day.

As always I didn't feel comfortable closing the game without taking at least some random pretty pics. See it as a first attempt to venture further into his netrunner cowboy/gunslinger theme. Not sure if the outfit stays as it is because the cyberdeck clips minimal into the coat but it def looks like I could let it stay there — like it's made to be clipped onto the coat in some way? And the belts could as well be a holster underneath the fabric x)

The gun is wrong though. Jaysen prefers to use revolvers (Malorian e.g. the Overture a.k.a. Crash but dunno if I make him a Techie or not, so far all have Power weapons because I love Power Weapons uwu). Jaysen stole borrowed Arki's glasses when Arki was too busy helping his lil' twin brother V.

My goal with Jaysen is to bring out his chaotic good character in the best way possible in future vp. And somehow I find it funny because Jay is in fact something between Arki and Vijay. His color scheme is close to Arki's, though Jay wears more red and orange instead of black with gold and red details (I wish there was more copper in the game though so he often has gold elements too now). He's the aggressive offensive runner, Vijay is the reserved defensive one.

In fact Jaysen is how I wanted Vijay to be first but couldn't make him because V was so cute and I loved the 80s theme for him once I did that graphics posts. But Jay is more like I have played PS4-Version Vijay and imagined him to be if I could use mods: Hack n blow em up, if RAM needs recovery; just bullseye 'em all.

Here's another two: one with the awesome golden glasses. But I prefer the red round glasses more I gotta say.

WIP WEDNESDAY

Decided it is time for another update so here's a longer post to what I've been up to and stuff that circles around in my head lately.

No pressure as always!

1. CHARACTERS & LORE

Let's begin with sth. first I have on my mind for a while: As this fandom (sadly) seems to fall more and more apart, I would like to know if there are still people interested in reading actual lore content or not. As some of you know my dear friend @nervouswizardcycle and I are continously building up some sort of our own expansion after the main game events with rp/fic, character builds, backstory lore and support by vp and it eats a lot of time. The lack of interactions on tblr during the last few months and in several discord servers has led to me not posting a lot anymore either (beside my mental exhaustion phases that come and go). It seems more active again though, as majority already played Phantom Liberty by now or are right into it, so they slowly come back bc they presumably avoided spoilers. —————— So, here is me wondering how many following my blog are 'really' interested to see me sharing all lore of the boys (including story parts) or does the majority prefer just to see pretty pics and that's it? —————— (I've wanted to add a poll here but it doesn't let me save my post so I might do it in a seperate one a bit later) I know: it's my blog, I post what I like in the first place, and I'll likely continue that way but somehow I would like to know if it's worth the effort of formating and thinking about how the posts could look or if I can take that time to do something else with it instead if there's less interest. So, I would just keep it in my tiny discord server I share with my rp partner(s)/in private chats with those interested bc it's gotten to be a lot and we are still at the very start it feels.

2. SKILLS, CYBERWARE & HUMANITY LOSS

As I'm the type that can't have ocs with no background/lore, I sat down the other day and did a build for each with their skills, wrote down what chrome everyone got (incl. additional c-ware from the lore books plus I'm reading e.g. into what programs my runner twins are likely to make use of). It went this far that my friend used the amount of the game's 'cyberware capacity' as 'humanity loss'. It is used in the lore books/ttrpg anyways. So I've counted all my boys possible capacity* and use it as humanity loss (HL) now which led me to thinking about which one of my ocs goes to get treatment and how often they go to see a MedTech on regular base. I thought I could give them a certain minus amount to reduce the HL for each depending on how much or less c-ware they got — e.g. Thyjs as soldier has most (but all is good Militech chrome) and used to go and still goes regularly so his HL gets a huge reduce — whereas Ryder's gets always nulled no matter how often he gets threatment, because BEAST (rogue AI) eats it away each time (to understand that in full you probably have to know the story). Ry must have most HL loss as he often walks along the edge towards cyberpsychosis, so I'm forced to reduce Thyjs' with most c-ware installed a huge amount. And that's how I made it now. It's probably far away from canon ttrpg as my 'canon cp world' consists of 75% game, 20% lorebooks and 5% own added ideas I haven't seen on the lore yet. And I like it that way I gotta say. On a little side note: It also had me thinking about creating a new support character for the team that could be in fact a MedTech. But I won't do that anytime soon.

* some things might still change as I slowly started playing their playthroughs and skill them for real now. I love each build so far because it's a whole different experience! And playing someone with noe netrunning ability is hell as I was only usedto paly netrunner before.

3. FIC SNIPPET TIME

I decided to give you an insight of what I've roughly written yesterday about Ryder and Thyjs having a talk about how they feel for each other:

“Ik ben eerlijk. I liked that accidental kiss we shared a-and i-ik find je leuk, Ry. Probably more as— a friend is supposed to do.” De Wit instantly starts feeling nauseous and something tightens around his stomach but he needs to get it off of his heavy feeling soul. “I-I guess I have stronger feelings for you than I had expected and it’s confusing me.” He frowns, “It’s not usual for me. Never felt any kind of such an attraction towards other men. I-It’s just you— I think I might be into you, Ryder.” The last sentences came in a mere murmur than spoken and Ryder’s name was only a light whisper. Thyjs didn’t dare to look to his left. He feared he would lose his new gained friend now because he said his stupid thoughts aloud. Instead he continues staring at the distant horizon feeling the lump in his throat only getting heavier. The sun was already half arisen and the sky was painted in a bright orange and yellow fading out into never ending blue. After de Wit seems to have finally finished his long talk, Ryder realizes the pack has fallen out of his hands. He needed to repeat in his mind what Thyjs just told him. Did the man really pour out his heart to him at this very moment? He couldn’t believe it at first. The pale soldier he obviously secretly fell for just told him he was having feelings for him that reach further than friendship? It took him what seemed like an eternity to get out of his frozen state. Ry moves up into a straighter position, still supporting his body with his right forearm, turning more towards Thyjs, who is still watching the rising sun with a rather sad look on his face blinking every once in a while. Eventually Scharfenberg brings up his left hand to reach for the older man’s face and de Wit suddenly feels two fingers under his chin making him look at the younger man again. He sees a tiny smile on those dark lips he caught himself looking at so many times in utter secrecy. That tiny smile that’s usually the base for a brighter even more heartwarming smile baring dangerous fangs who make the man look frightening, but smiling like that? Thyjs often caught himself thinking Ry looked cute with these fangs as well. Ry sees Thyjs’ confusion as his eyes look questioning right back at him. So Ry better says something now. “I-Ich äh—” he clears his throat, “—I don’t know where to start. How to talk feelings in the first place.” Letting Thyjs talk himself off seemed to be right for Ryder and it was worth it, because he thinks it’s the most earnest confession someone has ever made to him, yet he doesn’t know how to answer to all this best. So he decides to place himself into a sitting position, to look the soldier boy straight into the eyes. His gaze gets distracted by Thy’s slightly opened lips for a split second. It is the same situation as earlier downstairs, only that Ry has his fingers still under de Wit’s chin and starts to lead his face towards the other man. Just a few inches are left between them and Thyjs can feel the younger man’s warm breath on his skin. He also has this incredible sight at those beautiful male black eyelashes again the very moment they cast down and then he feels those same lips from before on his own with such a soft pressure that again he closes his eyes in an instant and starts to revel in that same electricity running through him but also the revenant paralyze surrounding him again.

It is just a brief kiss, similar to the one in the apartment downstairs but shyer in its move. As soon as it happened it ended. Ryder opens his eyes afterwards immediately because he fears somehow the man in front of him would get up, step back and turn away but instead he still feels his chin pressed softly against his fingers. It casts another tiny smile onto Ryder’s face as his now racing heart skips a beat or two, seeing that Thyjs didn’t make a move nor a sound. His eyes open now as well and Ry swears he’s never seen heterochromia looking so soft but also surprised at the same time at him like Thyjs does right now. He waits for a reaction but Thyjs just keeps looking at him, lips parting shortly just to close again. “What? — Did that make you that speechless now?” Ry asks with nearly the same surprisement. Thyjs lets out a heavy breath and nods, eyes totally lost looking at him which lets Scharfenberg put on a warm smile. “Want to— try again?” Thyjs swallows his unspoken words that gathered in his throat he couldn’t speak aloud and nods again. Heavier, his lips turning into a smile as well and his eyes are suddenly filled with happiness and relief, like he’s telling Ryder that he cannot wait to have their lips meeting once more and to feel that intense buzz from before as it spreads through his entire body like when he’s powering up electricity. This feeling right now? It’s strong and sends an entirely new sensation through him. Is dat het gevoel van vlinders in je buik? He wonders but doesn’t get much more time to think about it because Ryder choses to lean in for a second time.

It can and probably will be rewritten or changed but I definitely want to have it this way! Thjys starts talking and talking almost doing a monologue instead of a dialogue until he comes to the final point and Ryder wants to respond with words but doesn't know how to (he may find them a bit later) and just does what's best: kiss this soldier. I'll max out this kissing scene for a lot more pages just because I can.

I love the idea of Thyjs as war machine being totally romantic and getting super takative when alone with Ryder. And Ryder definitely is a soft romatic boy, alsways was bu Beast made his life harder to show this side more but Thyjs gets to see it also in private.

4. VP

Since I do more 'actual play the game' now even though I have installed most of all mods back, I rarely do pics atm. If I do, they are just rather nice pics where I try to use the ingame light rather than to spawn spot lights. here's a preview of what comes next:

I have so many ideas I want to put into reality. Especially pics that underline the rp/fic chapters mentioned above. But I'm not going to force myself. I'll see what I can realize for the rest of the year and what gets to be stamped as a New Year's resolution. I'll probably focus on a few blorbo pics this weekend because Ryder's birthday is around the corner (31st October) and Jay's boyfriend Enzolino has just a day prior. So if I can manage, I'll do that in the first place.

Thanks for reading! <3

WIP Wednesday

For once, i have something, so i post without being tagged !

As i updated the game, i cleaned some clothing mods, adding some cars, testing my decors (no one work pre-2.0 ><), doing my npv again, and doing pics ! And as it's november with NaNoWriMo, i'm writing some stuff !

So ... here my WIP !

WRITING

I have a story in mind, where Panam was kidnapped by Raffens, Virgile is terrified to loose her, and the cocktail fear-anger is destructive to his mind. I wanted to explore the limits of humanity, where he's afraid to loose it and becoming a cyberpsycho ...

Overheat. Contagion. Overheat. Short Circuit. Contagion again. Virgile weakened them, following up with Cyberware Malfunction and Cripple Mouvment to prevent two of them from moving and drawing their weapons. No one had answered his question, and now he couldn't because of the quickhacks and daemons he was throwing at them. One reached his feet and glared at him, still shaking from Contagion. "If you only knew what we did to your slut…" Never anger a netrunner, it's a simple rule. Virgile felt his mind lose control, his body contracted in spasms, his hands flailing, and his head swaying from left to right, nothing natural. He convulsed angrily, the machine overriding the organic, his glowing eyes turning red. The Raffen recoiled, but too late to escape. Synapse Burnout daemon had just reached him to bring him a painful death before falling to the ground. One down.

VP

Just some details of sets i took last days ♥

Guess who's who ? (a)

tagging (no pressure of course !) @chevvy-yates @angynomadsimp @wanderingaldecaldo @pacificaisstillpacifica @morganlefaye79 @imaginarycyberpunk2023

[gloryride]

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

Thanks for send me this 💕💕

That's so hard to choose bc i'm really picky with my own stuff, but i found things i really like ! I love playing with lights, sometimes i don't have to add any artificial bc the game is just too pretty. Like with these ones ♥ I'm happy to have created some vibes

virgile - oscar - isao [links to original posts]

But i also love playing with lights, creating something different. I want an atmosphere, having a story without words. Like this pic with @chevvy-yates, netrunner Virgile where i spent time on glowing eyes, or Vanessa/Valentin under holo tree ♥

enzo/jay - virgile - vanessa/valentin [links to original posts]

Last in VP, i had so much fun doing a photostory for Vanessa & Valentin for @cyberhanami ♥ Here the link if you're interesed. But put in image what Alex and i imagined since a lot of time is amazing. And i'm proud of Valentin face for his love at first sight, and Vanessa so bitchy XD

Non VP related, but i loved drawing for Mermay (mermaid in may). And if i don't draw anymore for now, Misty is still my fav :

Thanks to this fandom, i finally start to write again, and in english ! What a challenge for me. And if i didn't update since february - i need to improve my translation - my fanfic Virgile x Evelyn is something i'm really proud. I have this idea since 2021, and have finally guts to post it in public. I know it won't be the fic of the year, but being out my comfort zone is something new to me ♥
