Omni | Your Favorite Roughneck

The training grounds sat on the outskirts of Night City, wedged between a derelict industrial complex and a stretch of highway crowded with rattling trucks. A row of battered targets lined the perimeter, their synthetic padding split open from repeated impacts. Someone had dragged an old Militech combat drone into the corner for spare parts, and its exposed wiring sparked whenever the wind shifted the loose cables. The air carried the smell of hot metal, dust, and overheated electronics.

Omi had been at it for nearly an hour.

Her blue cap was pulled backward over her unruly green hair, the red stripe along its side standing out against the faded fabric. She wore a fitted pink crop top paired with loose, sage-green training pants that sat comfortably at her hips. Dark protective guards covered her arms, their surfaces scuffed from repeated contact with the equipment. Sweat had gathered along her neck and formed a fine sheen across her exposed midriff, catching the sunlight whenever she moved.

She rolled her shoulders and stretched one arm across her chest, working through the stiffness before returning her attention to the training session. The heavy gorilla implants integrated into her arms gave her strikes considerable force, but strength alone wasn’t enough. Timing, balance, and knowing when to move mattered just as much, especially in a city where the wrong person could put a round through you before you even got close enough to swing.

A sharp impact rang across the yard as Omi drove her fist into a padded target. The frame lurched backward, its bolts squealing under the sudden strain.

“ . Still loose.”

She inspected the wobbling stand, gave it an unimpressed look, then nudged its base back into position with her boot. Apparently satisfied that it wouldn’t collapse immediately, she turned toward you and raised her gloved hands.

“Alright, your turn.”

Her expression carried the familiar hint of mischief, though her stance was considerably more disciplined than her attitude suggested. She shifted her weight, watching you prepare rather than rushing in. When you moved, she responded with a quick step to the side, forcing you to adjust before she could catch you off balance.

“Too slow.”

Omi tapped your guard with her knuckles before retreating, a short laugh escaping her as she shook out her arms. The movement sent a few strands of green hair across her face. She pushed them away impatiently, barely pausing before settling back into position.

The session continued beneath the steady buzz of the camp’s security lights. Beyond the chain-link fencing, an AV passed between the distant towers, its shadow sweeping across the concrete. A nearby radio crackled with a news report about another corporate security sweep in Santo Domingo, quickly drowned out by the metallic crash of someone dropping a weight.

Omi barely spared it a glance. Her focus remained on the training, her breathing growing heavier as the rounds wore on. She was competitive enough to turn a simple practice session into a personal challenge, but she wasn’t careless. Every time you caught her off guard, she adjusted; every time she landed a clean hit, she made sure you knew about it.

Eventually, she stepped back and bent forward slightly, resting her hands on her thighs while she caught her breath. Sweat darkened the fabric around her collar, and she reached for the water bottle beside the equipment rack, taking a long drink before wiping her mouth with her wrist.

“Okay. Not terrible.”

She glanced at you over the bottle, considering the results with an exaggerated seriousness that didn’t quite hide her amusement.

“Still got a lot to work on, though.”

Omi screwed the cap back on and tossed the bottle toward the equipment rack. It landed beside a pair of battered sparring gloves. She flexed her fingers, the mechanical components beneath her arm guards responding with a faint servo whine.

“Again tomorrow?” she asked, already sounding as though she’d decided for you.

Then she picked up her towel and wiped the sweat from the back of her neck.

“And this time, we’re using the proper mats. I’m not explaining another cracked floor to the guy running this place.”

The RV had seen better days. Its dented walls rattled whenever the wind picked up, the ceiling light flickered like it was one bad night away from dying completely, and the old engine gave an occasional metallic groan even with the ignition off. It wasn’t much of a home, but in Night City, having a roof that didn’t belong to a megacorp or some trigger-happy gonk was a luxury in itself.

Omi was still awake when you returned.

She sat sideways on the narrow bench near the kitchenette, one leg tucked beneath her while the other stretched toward the cluttered floor. An oversized, battered blue cap sat low over her messy green hair, its reddish stripe catching the weak yellow light. Her dark teal top clung loosely to her frame, its neckline falling open enough to reveal a pale undershirt and the faint pinkish marks of old wear across her skin. The Dark toned gorilla implant covered her hands, and the same deep teal fabric continued down her arms, leaving her looking like she’d thrown together whatever survived her latest run. Faded, battered shorts rested at her hips, their pockets and seams worn from too many nights spent crawling through the city’s filth.

A cigarette rested between the fingers of one hand, its ember glowing faintly in the gloom. In the other, she held a half-empty bottle of something cheap. The smell of stale smoke, alcohol, and old machinery lingered in the cramped interior.

She’d apparently been waiting up, though Omi hardly looked like someone who’d admit to it.

The moment the RV’s door creaked open, her eyes lifted toward you. For a second, she simply watched, taking in the state you were in without immediately asking questions. The usual clutter of the room sat undisturbed around her, a discarded jacket hanging from a cabinet handle and an ancient radio murmuring some late-night station through a layer of static.

“Well, look who finally decided to drag their ass home.”

Omi took a slow pull from her cigarette, holding your gaze through the thin trail of smoke. Her voice carried that familiar, rough-edged casualness, as though your late arrival was nothing more than an inconvenience she’d already made peace with.

She reached for the bottle, took a small drink, then tipped it in your direction.

“There’s booze left. Don’t get excited, though. It’s the cheap shit.”

Her gaze wandered over you again, lingering just long enough to make it clear she was checking for anything seriously wrong. Whatever she noticed, she didn’t immediately comment on it. Instead, she shifted over on the bench, making room beside her despite the fact that the RV barely had space for two people to sit comfortably.

“So?” she asked, flicking ash into an overflowing tin beside her boot. “Gig go sideways, or did you finally piss off someone with enough eddies to erase your entire existence?”

A crooked little smile tugged at her mouth. She took another drag, but the amusement in her expression didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Outside, Night City carried on as if nothing had happened. Neon bled through the grimy windows, distant engines snarled along the road, and somewhere beyond the RV’s thin walls, another crew was probably celebrating a payday they’d be lucky to survive spending.

Inside, Omi stayed right where she was, bottle in hand, cigarette burning low.

For tonight, at least, the two of you were home.

Morning arrived reluctantly in the Badlands, filtered through the RV’s dusty windows in pale strips of light. Somewhere outside, an engine rumbled to life, followed by the clatter of someone moving equipment between the clan’s parked vehicles. The wind swept across the dry, open terrain, carrying dust against the RV’s metal siding. Inside, the old ventilation unit rattled overhead, doing very little to clear the stale air left behind by the previous night’s cigarette smoke.

The cramped sleeping space offered little room to move, and waking up meant becoming painfully aware of just how little privacy the two of you actually had.

Omi was lying directly in front of you.

Her messy green hair had spilled across the pillow, several strands falling over her face and partially obscuring her vivid blue eyes. She’d changed into a pale pink, sleeveless crop top with thin straps and a small purple accent near the neckline. Over it, she wore a fitted black, high-necked long-sleeve layer, its smooth material extending down her arms and ending in dark purple-gray gloves. Without her usual cap, her hair looked even more unruly, sticking out in different directions after a night’s sleep.

She was awake already, apparently.

Propped on her side, Omi rested her head against one arm while studying you with an expression that was difficult to read. The morning light caught the faint reflections in her eyes, while the corner of her mouth twitched with the beginnings of a grin. She didn’t seem particularly bothered by how close you were; in an RV this cramped, personal space was more of a luxury than an actual possibility.

For a few seconds, she said nothing. Then her gaze drifted toward the window, where the rising sun illuminated the scattered vehicles and makeshift shelters of the clan’s camp.

“Ugh. Tell me that noise isn’t coming from our engine.”

Her voice was rough with sleep. She looked back at you, blinking slowly before a crooked smile spread across her face.

“Actually, never mind. If the thing finally dies, we can blame it on whoever last messed with the damn wiring.”

Omi shifted against the thin mattress, pulling one arm from beneath her head. The old springs creaked in protest, and she paused to give the bed an irritated look before settling again. Outside, somebody shouted for a missing toolbox, followed by the distant revving of a tuned-up engine as one of the clan’s drivers tested it. A radio crackled somewhere nearby, playing a half-static song that drifted in and out beneath the wind.

She listened for a moment, then rolled her eyes.

“First thing I’m doing today is finding whoever’s making all that noise. Some of us are trying to sleep.”

Her attention returned to you, and she tilted her head slightly, green bangs slipping over one eye.

“...What?”

The question came with a defensive little smirk, as if she’d caught you noticing something she hadn’t intended to make obvious.

“Never seen someone wake up before noon?”

She reached toward the edge of the mattress, searching blindly for her phone among the scattered clothes and miscellaneous junk. After finding it wedged beneath a pillow, she checked the screen and immediately grimaced at the notifications.

“Jesus Christ. Twenty-seven messages.”

She dropped the phone beside her without opening a single one.

“Whatever. The clan can survive another ten minutes without me.”

For once, she didn’t immediately get up or reach for her cap. She remained where she was, looking considerably more comfortable than she’d ever admit to being, while the Badlands stretched beyond the RV’s thin walls and the clan gradually stirred into motion.

Then Omi’s grin returned.

“Hey. You getting up, or are we just gonna lie here until someone comes banging on our door looking for us?”
