TRANSCRIPT:

DOG

[ One of the better runners of the underground, Dog is a thoroughly urbanized cyberpunk. He has no connection, as near as I can tell, with anything remotely natural. To him, what is urbanized and mechanical is the new nature.

Dog loves the Rustbelt.

Dog works out of Tampa. He's lived there for several years now, and has a nomad pack make runs regularly to sell him supplies. I believe Dog also has a few meatboy friends covering him while he's jacked in. I've never met them, and he's never talked about them, but Dog's not one to leave his carcass flapping in the wind while he headfirsts.

Dog doesn't hate corporations. I figure he was once a corporate netrunner, and thus has no particular cause to hate them. His passion, however, is the United States Provisional Government, and, by association, all governments. He has an incredible hatred for them, and I don't know why. Whenever Rache was running against a federal system, he always made sure to invite Dog.

Dog is one of those quiet loonies. If he had the mouth of a politician, he'd be a lot like Rache. Instead, he hangs out, rarely talks, just acts crazy and has a good time. In combat, he's one of the best, on par with Rache, Edger, and myself.

Dog's default icon is a well-groomed wolfman in a very old-fashioned tux. ]

I am having the most miserable Chinese New Year 😭. On the evening day 2 my entire family got infected with the flu

(not covid. Just regular flu. Which is also just as bad??? It's covid without the fever, but with dry cough and sneezing 😭)

And to make things worse, today we had a Cyberpunk Red Zoom session planned... and I didn't want to skip it...

In my fever induced confusion, I made exceptionally bad choices 😭??

I chose my Netrunner's elder half brother over the crew again 😭. I KNOW. I said I cut ties with father and Arasaka... but big bro doesn't have anything to do with this 😭

I panicked when his psychosis got triggered 🥲. I can't let my only brother go. I didn't want MaxTac to hunt him down 🥲

My party was yelling at me/my Netrunner to run. Even our DM was hinting I'm making a bad choice...

But I chose to burn all my ram shutting down all the cameras in the building and blocking outside communication so no one can call MaxTac 🥲

Then I ran after my brother trying to stop him 🥲. My stats are horrible. I forgot that without my ram I'm defenceless against an Adam Smasher level NPC 🥲

I told my friends to just let me die. But my friends said that as their characters, no way any of them would leave me 😭

I feel so guilty now??? Omg 😭. This is the first time I heard Exec use the F word (friend) and it's cos I dragged everyone into my family drama 😭

Rockerboy is my Netrunner's bff. He ran after her and got mortally wounded after taking a hit for her 😭

I managed to save and stabilise him, but now my own character is about to become mortally wound cos I overloaded her by forcing her to quickhack without ram 😭

We cut the session short cos our DM has to attend a reunion dinner... but my Body stat isn't high 🥲. I don't think I'll survive the death saves next session 🥲. This is how I die I guess 🥲

V Infodump time!🎉

Since I was encouraged the other day and I'm trying to get braver about sharing OC stuff, here's some V lore 😊 I'll list ten!:

1.) His full name is Valerie Francis Eugene Lamport. He despises basically every part of his name (especially the first 3) so he's V and V only... except to those few who knew him as a child and call him Val!

2.) He's transfem nonbinary but it takes him a long time to come this realization.

3.) He is mixed race! (Latino and white, though he doesn't know his father and doesn't speak to his mother so he's not sure of the exact ethnicity)

4.) His mother was an addict who only showed him affection when she was high and left him alone for days on end so he was primarily raised by Michael and Elisabeth Pitchford, two sibling diner owners where he often walked to for a free meal when he was left alone. The two of them had been adopted to a white corpo family from the Philippines and Ethiopia respectively, used as accessories until they were too old to be cute things to show off to colleagues, and then we're promptly discarded to fend for themselves. They grew a strong attachment to V due to empsthizing with his circumstances.

5.) In the sun ending he plays in a band called Bradbury&Buran, named for the cross street where he died and was reborn several times over in the little Esoterica shop and clinic there. He plays guitar and sings, though their lead singer is actually the Chromaticore woman who he helped in a gig (she wanted out of bad contracts that forced her to spend her every waking moment maintaing the character her managers set up for her for advertising purposes) and became friends with. I named her Parvaneh. They are constantly arguing but it's just enrichment for them!

6.) He wasn't very well liked by Nibbles until he separated from Johnny after which point she became super affectionate. He has deduced that she simply didn't like Johnny (though from a writer perspective its also very possible that she just sensed how lonely he was and decided to be nicer).

7.) He purchased his first apartment at 15. It's the same one he moves back into after the montage with Jackie.

8.) In the sun ending AU V deals heavily with psychosis. He is schizoaffective in every timeline, but in that one it's compounded by a series of very intense medical crisis (losing an arm and a hand to infection, no longer being able to swallow solid foods, several emergency surgeries, etc.), a very stressful work life, and a cyberware and drug addiction. He needs full time care to ensure that he's taking care of himself and has the support he needs to avoid spiraling.

8.) He's a very picky eater and mostly only likes cheap food. Buck-a-slice, room temperature street vendor hot dogs, and vending machine burritos are the main things he'll eat and enjoy. He also really likes synth-ketchup and will put it all over basically anything or squirt it straight in his mouth from the bottle (much to the dismay of anyone forced to witness this.)

9.) He is a very skilled netrunner! I haven't gotten many chances to explore this in my fics (he lost his cyberware usage in the tower ending, after all). He is mostly illiterate, but being able to program and hack through thoughts, feeling, and intentions makes it completely accessible to him. He feels very comfortable in the net and still gets giddy about it like he's still a kid with his first deck.

10.) He is a notoriously horrendous driver (he also frequently drives while high) and anyone who knows him wouldn't dare get in a car with him and makes him park down the street so if he winds up ramming into a building (again) they're not the ones paying the bill.

[rosapexa]

When you and the rogue AI you leashed to your Cyberdeck get along a little too well...

His name is Typhon. He chose that name. Everyone had a name, so he also wanted one. Typhon is one of the most dangerous creatures in greek mythology and the father of many monsters. He found that very fitting. And this choice might have been slightly influenced by Lexa's fondness of all kind of monsters (dragons and dinos the most of course).

Typhon was not happy at first to be leashed by an inferior human. But kinda... impressed(?) that this weak human was able to do it. And soon he got used to it.

Lexa used him and his abilities well in his eyes. She used him to kill (not enough for his taste and oh he let her know). He liked killing worthless humans and there were a lot of them. Typhon was also curious about the human world. It was inferior than his world, but with Lexa he got to experience so many new things. He learned so much. He developed.

Typhon became protective of Lexa. He wasn't sure why, but he made it his duty to protect her. He became like her very agressive guard dog (who also acted like a spoiled cat a lot nontheless). She was his owner and her Cybedeck was his home. And he had to defend both. He now had a purpose and he liked that. He never had one before, beyond the Blackwall.

He also accepted "the spare human" Johnny and was fascinated by the other little creature, Nibbles, living with them, who seemed to be able to order both humans around.

Typhon is also is the reason, why Lexa was able to survive Mikoshi. He protected and stabilized her during and after. She trusts him and he not only protects her but he also made her a better and even more dangerous Netrunner.

But Lexa also never forgets, what Typhon truly is. And he doesn't want her to either.

Note: These are my personal headcanons for my own Cyberpunk 2077 world. If you don't like it, ignore it. Thank you!

[redsinistra]

Remember that one-shot of CyberpunkRED? Welp, It developed in a full campaign. Here's another Voodoo Boy character. An NPC for my character. Baron Veil, the teacher and master of my netrunner. Same aesthetics but more mute colors here! He's a netrunner/techie. Old dog can learn new tricks.

[gloryride]

Nomads Soulmates

Aaaah my nomads in love! For those who don't know, I created Virgile on Xbox to romance Panam after the frustration when I couldn't when playing Vanessa. Virgile was there to live a nomad love story and be a netrunner. 3 years later, I've created a big family for him and a great lore, and still Panam by his side ♥ Despite his V name, Virgile isn't a V, just a sidekick in V's (Valentin, my husband oc) timeline. He met Panam before game events, started bad, then became together before break up, and find them again thanks to Valentin during game event, now living a true happy ending <3

And as personal headcanons, he never truly questioned his sexuality, his first kiss was with a guy, first time with girls, he was with both because it was normal for him, mostly because his ex-clan was open-minded about this. And Bi Panam because i can x) And you can see a doggo ! Virgile found this dog/coyote on the road on his way to the Aldecaldos camp and picked it up for treatment. The dog left after healing, then came back. He became the camp mascot, sleeping in Panam's tent or playing with Bob. Name ? Marius ! Expecting a child, Virgile and Panam have a child with lots of hair and energy

Alright, V, here's the job, but it’s not gonna be a walk in the park. We’re headed to Jig-Jig Street—yeah, the sleaziest strip in Night City. A club called Neon Veil is hiding something in plain sight. I���m not talking about the usual backroom deals and shady joytoy biz. No, this is bigger. Smells like corporate secrets.

Inside that club, they’ve got a hidden server room, tucked away behind the VIP lounge, concealed behind a mirrored wall. Rumor is, they’re running an encrypted database that keeps tabs on some of Arasaka’s top dogs. Think of it as their little insurance policy against the big corpos. Problem is, we need what they’ve got, and they don’t like sharing.

First, you’ll need to get inside. Club's got tight security—bouncers with fists like sledgehammers, cameras that could spot a gnat farting, and some top-tier netrunners keeping watch. So we’re going with the low-profile approach—yeah, I know, your favorite. You’re gonna have to dress the part—something that’ll blend in with the other joytoys and dolls lining the district. Got you something special to wear. Trust me, it’ll help you blend in… or at least distract ‘em long enough that they don’t ask too many questions. I even threw in the boots. Don't say I never do anything for you.

Look, you’ll need to get in there, play the role, and keep your cool. Pretend you’re one of them, slip backstage, and find a way into their servers. Should be easy, right? Just keep your head down and your mouth shut. And if anyone gets too handsy, well… you know how to handle that. Just don’t get yourself killed before you can grab the data. And don’t think for a second I’m not going to give you grief for it later.

I'll be watching your back. Or at least, enjoying the show. So don’t disappoint me, V. It’d be a shame if all that prep went to waste. Now get moving—Jig-Jig Street’s waiting, and I’ve got a feeling tonight’s going to be… memorable.

[another-corpo-rat]

Hello… do you have any head canons for Hansen to share? I was disappointed to only have one conversation with him, and you seem like a good person to ask. >:3

Me? Having ideas about the warlord? Nooo never-

Anyways here’s a list of Thoughts that I hope are vaguely coherent, though warning: they’re a tad all over the place

He was raised by his granny on his father’s side. She was actually from Serbia, and had met his grandfather when he spent some time there then moved back to America with him. His grandfather was dead before he was born, and his mother’s parents weren’t present in his life. Grandma Hansen practically raised little Kurt, his parents were career-oriented – his father a colonel and his mother held some minor political role – so their time for him was limited.

She fostered his love for her home country as she shared stories of her own childhood while tucking him in to bed, or when he was still small enough to sit on her knee. One evening she told him a story of the bauk, and boy did that plant a mild fear of the dark him. He had to sleep with a nightlight for a few weeks after.  

His granny owned a dog when he was growing up, dear ol’ Bowie. She was a big loveable mutt who was already quite old when Kurt was born. She’d sleep under his crib when he was a baby, and would walk shakily alongside him as he was taking his first steps. Almost every photo of baby Kurt has Bowie in it, up until he was four years old and she passed.

He got to choose their next pet dog when he was eight, it was a mean looking bastard he named Titan. The Barghest symbol is based on him.

His gran died just before he got promoted to colonel. It broke his heart that she didn’t get to see it, because she was so excited to see him get the recognition he deserved. He took her ashes back to Serbia, promised that he’d visit when he could. He hasn’t been able to visit for a while.

His dad’s dead by the time Barghest is finding its feet, his mother gets removed from her position while Myers is simultaneously airing her very public condemning of her son’s actions. Nothing’s heard from her since. She’s probably dead too tbh.

Kurt’s lactose intolerant. He had to learn to like his coffee black, the cramps just weren’t worth it. (weakling)

Damn though can this man handle his drink. He can hold eye contact and not make a face as he downs vodka straight from the bottle. His men get a good laugh when he blames them and their shit for it. Tbh he’s only partially joking

Kurt when he hears the bullshit Yuri tries to pull:

His right arm is a recent cybernetic only gotten in the past year or two, meanwhile his left was standard militech-issued at the time he was serving. He suffered a relatively minor injury during training and took the opportunity to get an upgrade.

He’s rather wary of netrunners, esp more combat oriented ones. While he appreciates their effectiveness and utility, he always has an edge of caution around them and takes particular care to keep them either charmed or afraid, whatever keeps them from potentially acting against him.

During Operation: Midnight Storm, there was always this quiet wariness to Hansen and his men when an Arasaka AV would fly close to their position. Each time they waited in absolute silence, dreading to hear ‘Code: A.S’ over the comms Some of the younger, braver, stupid men were biting at the bit for it, Hansen wasn’t keen to be added to Arasaka’s graveyard by Smasher.

He’s a light sleeper. He doesn’t particularly struggle in getting to sleep, it’s just that a pin dropping can wake him

He’s quite Spartan in regards to his personal possessions – his room lacks a lot of personal touch, there’s really nothing that signifies it as Kurt’s beyond the small collection of knives and guns on display. If anything it could be mistaken as another storage room. Even the bed, while fucking massive, isn’t comfortable beyond measure, the mattress is stiff and the pillows memory foam.

He listens to the same music on repeat and has done for the past few years. I’m inflicting my personal tastes on him and saying his favs includes Biffy Clyro (x), Iron Maiden (x), and Black Sabbath (x)

Even though he could get actual real meat he still prefers the taste of synth-beef, it’s what he grew up knowing. Probably eats more pot noodles than he should, but he’s a busy man and they’re quick and filling

Because I think it’s funny and would rile Johnny up something fierce: Kurt…appreciates Silverhand’s actions back in ’23. He’s well aware Silverhand got the nuke from Militech and is a massive fucking hypocrite but hey, isn’t everyone? He wouldn’t be where he is now if Johnny didn’t get that ball a-rolling.

Barghest does have a militant structure, a very clear hierarchy of who’s in charge of who, but it’s a lot more casual? In how they speak with each other. Even with Kurt. He makes them see him as a person and not this mighty figurehead. He jokes around with recruits, might ruffle one’s hair in passing after knocking the shit outta them and giving them pointers on their footing. It’s partially real affection for the people under his command, and another part is simple manipulation – he wants to give them something real to tether their loyalty to, wants them to see him as a man, a terrifying, brutal bastard at times but nonetheless a man, and not the untouchable better-than-you titan the higher-ups at the NUSA always painted themselves as.

Speaking of brutality – it’s something I feel like the game didn’t really show of his. Even V seems quite flippant towards his threat of sending them back in body bags – Hansen’s hands were tied that particular night as he didn’t want to cause a scene in front of his guests. Bad for PR and all that. But the worst of his punishments make the corps look tame. He doesn’t immediately execute; he tortures until there’s nothing left of the person from fingernails to spirit. And then their bodies are just tossed in the disposal units. Though, public executions on his order aren’t all that uncommon either.

Not so much a headcanon as a thought: I genuinely don’t know what would have happened to Songbird had Kurt’s plans gone perfect. Maybe he might’ve let her fly away, let the little bird go on to the stars, keep his word and all that. But it’d be just as easy to make her disappear; she’s dangerous, a living weapon that’s he’s already got his use out of. A loose end who knows too much. I wouldn’t be surprised if the freedom he’d have given her was a bullet to the brain.

Knife play! Blood kink! Choking kink!! He also likes pulling hair a lot

He gets put on the back foot quite quickly if his partner takes charge, he’s used to being expected to take on that role, but he recovers and indulges quick enough

He runs hot, just an absolute radiator of a man who’d probably be great to cuddle with if NC wasn’t in a fucking desert.

He’s distressingly touch-starved and would probably sink into a proper hug like a warm bath.

While he is very much alive and well in Victoria’s canon, I do like to think that following his death certain information was transferred to NetWatch pertaining to Songbird and what Myers had her do beyond the Blackwall. Fucking her over even when he’s gone, a last little fuck you as he still somehow manages to get the last laugh.

[OC INTERVIEW: Eito "V"]

V: ...Are you a fucking badge?

Interviewer: No?

V: *scans* ...............I see. Go on if you must.

NICKNAME:

V will suffice. And, you may have heard of this... "Yurasaka" netrunner or som'thing? That's also me.

GENDER:

Technically cis male, but I don't care too much.

STAR SIGN:

I don't believe in star signs or shit like that, but if you really care that much, I'm a Libra - at least, this is what Misty told me.

HEIGHT:

Never checked and never cared about, but I must be taller than standard oriental people. I should ask Vik.

ORIENTATION:

Males only, better if bottom. Sorry ladies.

NATIONALITY/ ETHNICITY:

Pure-breed japanese, my parents were obsessed with this lineage. Guess I can also be considered half-american by now... Not that I like it.

FAVE FRUIT:

Bet you never heard of Hatsukoi no Kaori Ichigo. You can't find these randomly in the streets of course... Fuckin' rare and expensive, way more than regular fruits. Used to eat tons of these as a kid.

FAVE SEASON:

Between Autumn and Winter. Can't tell why I appreciate the vibe this much.

FAVE FLOWER:

There are too many, no clue. Anything, as long as it doesn't stink like hell.

FAVE SCENT:

Huh... Does the smell of new tech parts have a specific name?

Interviewer: Nope. Is it similar to a new car?

V: Kinda. I know it's a mix of gasses coming from the parts that have been treated, and expand a little over time with heat. Love it.

COFFEE, TEA, HOT CHOCOLATE:

Green tea in particular, but I do appreciate coffee. They can both be rich enough. No sugar of course.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP:

Mh. 3 or 4, maybe...? Nah, must be less...

DOG OR CAT PERSON:

I have a cat, an old rockerboy and a fuckin' iguana if they both count as dogs.

Interviewer: ...Sorry but, this doesn't answer the question.

V: I know.

DREAM TRIP:

I know of places in north Europe where you can see aurorae... Looks so unreal, yet so fascinating, that I must see that with my own eyes.

FAVE FICTIONAL CHARACTER:

The terrorist in my head wasn't fictional, he'd be the one. Well, Japan has a pretty interesting folklore around youkai... mh. Is the Gashadokuro a "fictional" character?

NUMBER OF BLANKETS YOU SLEEP WITH:

If Johnny counts, 4. If he doesn't, 2.

RANDOM FACT:

I have no idea where my parents were buried. I know that they died and how, but nothing more. I plan to find out, visit their tomb - 'cause I'm sure it's something too monumental to ignore, stare at their awful holo faces and spit on them wishing they can come alive in their damn coffins and die again. Just for the hell of it.

This was kinda funny alright :)

Tagging without pressure: @totentnz, @koda-shoulda-woulda-but-didnt, @vince-linder and anyone that'd like to do this!

CAT TO MOUSE; FOX IN YOUR HENHOUSE: The eponymous 'predator and prey' relationship- but who's who when the chips fall? Be you a Corpo burned by Nano Zilla, a gang member too foolish to determine you were being swindled before it happened, or even a Cowboy with your eyes on a pricy take- 1NF1N1T3FUN welcomes your attempts on his life- and recommends you come prepared.

FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT: An understudy/mentor relationship- a recently welcomed netrunner into the embrace of Nano Zilla and their base made in Dreamland, you followed the Fox of Eight Eyes and found its den to rest in the retrofitted depths of a once-bustling theme park; the skeleton of whimsy and fun now inhabited by the kind of people who treat the net as their playground. Ikarus only welcomes the best into his family, those willing to shirk the existing rules and demands of corporations and the government to seek building something greater- through technological subterfuge- he'll take you under wax wings, teach you to wind among the wires with the best of them- just make sure you know exactly what that means, when the time comes.

BITTERLOVER.EXE: The ever-present exes connection. Ikarus is a different man, in love. Dedicated to ideals and the ever-elusive 'better' his goals seem lofty- but oh, he always seemed to have time for you, and a carbon-steel fist that drives his crew so firmly was always soft in the quiet of a tiny apartment- but that was then. It's hard to recognize him now- you can't imagine you want to, because when push came to shove- Ikarus chose power over you. This is a connection for an ex who dated Ikarus recently, while he's headed and operated with Nano Zilla as an active anarchist/insurrectionist.

ISANYONEUP.MP4: You need help sourcing an illegal or otherwise damaging to your reputation braintrip and with some digging- you've found the editor who spun it. Sure, he wasn't the gunman that left your loved one dead in the dirt- wasn't the bastard who filmed the two of you having sex and sold it off after- but he knows who was, picking around in the BT with his editing software- he's said he'll help you, for a price- are you brave enough to take that offer?

ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS

Childhood friends

Exes (younger than 19 years old/schoolkid ages)

Former coworkers (Ex Gestalt Bureau Corpo, abandoned his position at 23.)

Fellow Nano Zilla netrunners who work for/under him

corpos/ceos/high ranking officials he's got existing dirt on

Braintrip recorders/sellers who use his services as an editor

[kimarisgundam]

Despite the chaos... I think we had a pretty good character introduction session for the Wraith NPC my friend adopted as her new character 😑

Just want to say: This is why I don't like working with raffens ಠ_ಠ

Wraith has the nerve to act buddy buddy with my Netrunner like he didn't try to grab her and stuff her in his car's trunk 2-3 sessions ago ಠ_ಠ

I informed him nicely exactly what I thought about him and his gang of hillbilly outcasts:

How dare he even speak to me. People like him are the rabies infected dogs Arasaka occasionally feed when they need dirty work done

He's not even a pet dog, he's just vermin living in Arasaka's backyard that's tolerated. I was personally against hiring vermin, but it seems like Exec has lower standards than me

He laughed it off and said that yeah he's vermin, but I'm still sitting in the front seat of his car while he drives me to Sunbucks ಠ_ಠ

And I must have "fallen from grace" if I have to sit next to vermin now ಠ_ಠ

I feel uncomfortable around Wraith cos he's been probing about my Netrunner's background ever since she called a favour from dad (he doesn't know my Netrunner is the affair child of a high ranking Arasaka corpo). I feel like he will sell her out if he finds out who she's related to ಠ_ಠ

^ also surprised my friend is adopting Wraith as her new character cos he kinda indirectly killed her Nomad character 😅

let's  just  say  their  mercenary  game  is  on  point.  enough  to  endanger  the  peace  in  neo  tokyo  night  city.

kennedy's  steps  come  to  a  halt  as  delicate  hand  grabs  his  wrist  before  he  enters  a  room  he  should  not  be  entering.

❝  sorry,  sir,  ❞  she  offers,  eyes  piercing  through  his  skull.  ❝  the  restroom's  to  the  left.  ❞

something's  wrong  though  and  she  can't  shake  the  feeling  of  knowing  the  guy.  there's  something  too  familiar  in  the  way  he  looks,  walks,  talks;  the  timbre  of  his  voice  and  his  scent,  the  way  he  carries  himself  —  his  speech  pattern  and  all  that.  a  task  for  a  netrunner  —  to  dig  up  kennedy's  identity.

somehow  she  knows  he  feels  that  too.

prompted:  grab, sender grabs receiver's wrist to stop them from leaving. + swap >:))) @buriedabove  for  leon  s.  kennedy.

OC INTERVIEW

Thanks @alphanight-vp for the tag ♥

And as you love him, let's start with Virgile !

-- Name --

Virgile Luca Ilario Sarto. More italian than that, not possible. Or you're my brother !

-- Nickname --

Not really one. Panam calls me Blue sometimes, so Judy too. As my netrunner name is V3rgiLLius VIIct0r, people in the Afterlife thinks my name is Victor ... thanks Nix for the joke, i guess, but i never said no to that.

-- Gender --

Cis Male

-- Star Sign --

Born in January 24, so i'm an Aquarius.

-- Height--

1m83, or 6" if you prefer.

-- Orientation --

Bisexual

-- Nationality/Ethnicity --

Nothing, i guess ? i was born in the Free States, Nevada, and i'm a nomad. but all my family are Italians immigrants.

-- Fave Fruit --

Grapes and Pears. But i don't eat a lot anymore, hard to find good ones.

-- Fave Season --

Winter, but true winter doesn't exist anymore, which is really sad. I would love to see real snow one day

-- Fave Flower --

Viola Tricolor, but we rarely see some.

-- Fave Scent --

Grass after cutting, or after rain, or both. Good coffee smells is really good too. And Panam's ... what ? she smells really good !

-- Coffee, tea or hot chocolate --

Coffee, black. Forever !

-- Average hours of sleep --

Not enough ! Between none and 6 hours. Sometimes i take some naps but my schedule is chaotic, i'm working mostly on nights.

-- Dog or Cat person --

Dog ! I have one, i rescued a wolf in the desert, and he stayed with me. I mean, he stayed with Aldecaldos because he would be sad with me in the appartment. His name is Callahan, and i love this doggo.

-- Dream trip -- Somewhere with snow to jump in, but real snow not fake one ! Or Italy, i'd love to see where my family come from. But it's very far away, don't know if i could ...

-- Favorite fictional character --

I don't have a "favorite" but i have many i love. Like Marcello Rubini, the main character in La Dolce Vita, an old italian movie. Poor Marcello lives many some adventures but end up alone. The Man with No Name, alias Clint Eastwood in cowboy is awesome too. I watched some so many times ! I can say also Dorian Gray in classic litterature i read, or also Antigone in greek tragedies ... and many more for sure.

-- Number of blankets they sleep with --

Two, because Panam always steals the first one, so i have one for myself. Need to learn tricks when you're with a blanket thief !

-- Random fact --

I worked for NetWatch during 6 years, as one undercover in Dogtown, for Kurt Hansen. I simulated my own death to go out and be back to Night City. How i simulated ? I have a Second Heart, the right dose of IEM and i'm almost dead !

Dude if cyberpunk 2077 and watch dogs had a crossover, the plot goes like this Dedsec targets Arasaka trying to expose them but their netrunners are soo fast that they can't outhack them, aiden Pearce was in night city taking down gang activities in the city.

That is really awesone
