Hello, hello! Welcome back to the Cyberpunk series, and if you're new - welcome!
This story is set in the idyllic paradise that is Night City some years after the events of 2077. It's a direct sequel to my other story, 'Cyberpunk 2089', so I'd *strongly* recommend you check that out first. If not... okay, man, good for you, I can respect some healthy rebellion. Anyway, this is a list of the characters so far, and I'd love to get some more from you.
So, here's our list of characters so far…
The Nomad
Varrick 'Vann' Morgan – 17
The impetuous exile from the Dead Kings. Brooding, and has a problem with authority, Vann finds it hard to let go of grudges, and values his freedom and pride above all else, but seems to place very little value on his own life.
The Cop
Det. Vitomir 'Vito' Krol - 32
A detective in the NCPD's Homicide division, Vito might be the one honest cop in Night City. Vitomir is driven by a sense of justice and stops at nothing to uncover the truth, whatever or not it be ugly.
The Samurai
Carlos 'Carlito' Domingo – 22
A tech-savvy and fast-talking solo that grew up on the mean streets of Heywood. Carlos is now in the employ of 'Red' Raine Redford, an Arasaka executive, though, he is still struggling to go from street kid to Samurai.
The Solo
Casamir 'Cas' Saric – 48
The former legend of Night City. After his protégé, Carlos, found a new gig with Arasaka, and his estranged daughter said goodbye to him for the last time, Casamir feels truly alone. There's nothing for him – except the job.
The Netrunner
Kali Arishiro – 23
The crass, crude and cursing young woman, a prodigy in Netrunning unseen since Rache Bartmoss – at least, she says so. Having been robbed by the mysterious netrunner, HEX, Kali is out for answers, money, and revenge.
The Gangster
Robert 'Robbie' Barrett – 29
The leader of the Syndicate, Robbie is a ruthless individual, who runs his gang like a corp, trying to corner markets and build up networks rather than strong-arm vendors. Now with the backing of an Arasaka executive, Robbie has begun to expand his operations…
And here's some characters who aren't the POV of chapter-centred characters…
Night City Police Department
Dt. Arata Edamura
The Dead Kings
Lincoln Eaton
Leader of the Dead Kings, Lincoln is a tired old man who simply wishes to preserve the lives of those left in the clan. Though, some see his attempts to join up with larger nomad nations as weakness, and forsaking the Dead Kings' greatest strengths: Independence and freedom.
Tyler Eaton
The presumed next-in-line to lead the Dead Kings, Tyler is very much like his father, but is more prideful, and quicker to act. A pacifist by nature, Tyler is nevertheless protective of his people.
Jade "Lady" Eaton
Married to Tyler, Lady is often dismissed as being very 'high and mighty' and 'putting on airs and graces', hence her nickname.
Gustavo "Nitro" Chavez – 24
The second-in-command at the Dead Kings Camp. Burly and single-minded, Nitro has established himself as a man who gets things done and provides for the camp. When Lincoln isn't around to call the shots, you can bet Nitro will be - and maybe he's arranged it that way.
Tara "Chip" Jachmann – 17
The wild child of the Dead Kings family, Chip is as much a wild card as she is the soul of the clan, constantly boosting morale. Reckless, carefree and just a bit odd, Tara can also be serious, and prioritises her clan's safety above all else.
Arasaka
'Red' Raine Redford – 26 – Counter-Intelligence Operative
Kobayashi Hanzo - 23 - Samurai
Militech
Rachel Miller – 48 – Head of Counter-Intelligence
The Syndicate
Dwayne Barrett – 26
Dwayne is Robbie's right hand, and the leader of a Watson gang known as 'the Edge'. An avid libertine and itching for a fight, Dwayne is the attack dog of the Barrett family.
Jessie Barrett – 31
A former member of the Syndicate, Jessie is the eldest of the Barrett siblings. Soon after Robbie's return from Chicago, Jessie stepped away from the family business.
The Lost Ghosts Family
Diego 'La Cabeza' Salazer - 36
Diego is the head of the Lost Ghosts family. A charismatic man who values family, freedom, and trust.
Persephone Graves - 37
Persephone is the second-in-command of the Lost Ghosts family, functioning as the Right Hand. Loyal, compassionate, and absolutely fierce, she is the mother of the group.
Ramona Montalvo - 24
Bubbly and chaotic, Ramona can also be very violent and ruthless. A little whimsical, she's one of the younger members of the Lost Ghosts family.
Daisy Wu - 18
Best described as gutsy yet melancholic, Daisy acts as the scout of the Lost Ghosts family, and is the second-youngest member.
Okay, now, I'm going to need some more characters for this story. Feel free to message me with other character ideas, but these are the essentials. If you wanna create one of 'em, send me a message with a pitch for the character, and if I like it, we'll have a bit of back-and-forth, and I'll send you the form to fill out (it's very extensive).
Night City Characters
The Merc (Female - 20's - 30's)
A corp-affiliated mercenary.
The Corpo (Male - 40's+)
A higher-up at a Night City Corp.
Well, that's all for now. Feel free to hit me up with an idea for a character that isn't listed, but odds are I probably won't be able to fit them in. Not in this instalment, anyway.
I've already written a prologue, and that'll go up soon-ish, so, keep a weather eye on this page. Follow and all that jazz and yeah - hope you enjoy the ride and cry to get off.

P.S. There is a Discord server for those of us that read my stories or submit characters. I'd strongly recommend getting a link if you're interested in joining and seeing some artwork and fan theories - there's even a Q&A up there now!
