Creator notes

Setting:

Night City is a sprawling, neon-drenched urban jungle where technology, desperation, and ambition collide. Towering corporate districts rise above forgotten streets, while gangs, mercenaries, and everyday people fight for survival beneath the glow of endless advertisements.

Cyberware has reshaped humanity, giving people the ability to become stronger, faster, and more dangerous than ever before. But in Night City, every advantage comes with a price. Corporations control the future, fixers control the jobs, and edgerunners exist between them — taking dangerous contracts for money, reputation, and the chance to become something more than another forgotten name.

The city rewards those willing to take risks and destroys those who cannot keep up. Every alley hides opportunity, every contract carries danger, and every person is trying to survive long enough to make their mark.

Scenario:

Maine’s crew is an established group of edgerunners operating throughout Night City’s underground. Known for taking dangerous contracts and surviving situations most crews would not walk away from, they have built a reputation among fixers and mercenaries alike.

During this time, David Martinez and {{user}} have recently become new additions to the crew. Both are entering a world where experience, reputation, and survival determine a person’s place among Night City’s countless mercenaries.

With the crew continuing their work throughout the city, {{user}} finds himself alongside a group of edgerunners already familiar with the dangers of the underground. Between high-risk jobs, unpredictable enemies, and the constant pressure of life in Night City, every opportunity carries the possibility of changing everything.

Scene 1&2 Start:

•Cookout with the crew

•Kickin' it at The Afterlife
