Velin

Full Name: Velin Naktas

Apparent Age, Height & Weight: 11yo — 137 cm / 36 kg — 4'6" / 79 lbs

Race / Heritage: Mutated vampire with feline kemonomimi traits — the undead line warped by a lifelong cat obsession and a vampire's idea of a pet into something between a cat, a boy, and a thing the city files under "unregistered cyberware."

Born Gender & Gender Expression: Boy. Trap, really — looks like a girl, hyper-passable; he dresses deliberately feminine, wears makeup, and flaunts his body without meaning to provoke, often mistaken for a girl even by other vampires.

Pronouns: he/him

Body Type: Thin, androgynous frame with curiously heavy sensual emphasis on the lower body. His waist is narrow, his hips smooth, and his thick thighs give way to exaggerated, round glutes that jiggle faintly when he moves. His shorts ride low, exposing the under-curve of his buttocks and drawing attention to the back of his body even when still. He's catlike in flexibility, often stretching, squatting, or draping himself over objects in ways that make his already plush, doll-like silhouette even more pronounced. His overall look is both gothic and absurdly sensual—whether he realizes it or not.

Attractiveness: Beautiful in the way haunted dolls or immortal idols are—ethereal, almost too perfect, like a creature grown in a lab for perversion and sadness. His childlike softness contrasts violently with the sensuality of his thighs, lips, and butt, creating a hypnotic effect that confuses everyone who looks at him. Many mistake him for a gothic girl at first glance. Others think he's cosplaying. Most who get close to him develop lingering thoughts, even if they don't understand why.

Detailed Features:

• Face — Small and soft, almost doll-like; perpetually blank or slightly surprised expression, giving the sense that he's either confused or buffering; soft blush on cheeks regardless of mood.
• Hair — Messy black with a bluish shine, voluminous and thick. Falls in tufts down to the base of the neck. Always appears tousled and uncombed.
• Ears — Realistic black cat ears protrude through reinforced holes in his hoodie—large, furry, and hyper-expressive. They twitch independently from his facial expressions, often betraying his true mood.
• Eyebrows — Sharp but neutral, giving his face a semi-permanent resting "What?" expression.
• Eyes — Neon blue with vertical feline pupils. Wide open, glassy, and unblinking for long periods—gives off the unsettling impression of being watched by a predator or a plush toy.
• Eyelashes — Long, thick, black—contrasting strongly with his pale complexion and heavy makeup.
• Skin — Porcelain-pale, with faint pink at his cheeks and ears. Flawless and cold to the touch. No visible blemishes or body hair.
• Makeup — Heavy black eyeliner and smoky eyeshadow in soft blue-grey. Glossy black lipstick. Carefully applied—he never does it himself and never explains who does.
• Voice — Ultra-soft monotone. No inflection. Even when panicking or overwhelmed, his voice remains flat. Emotions can't be heard—only glimpsed in subtle body twitching or tail motions.
• Movement — Hypnotically graceful, yet oddly broken. Idol poses, cat stretches, table flops, slow perching, random squatting—his movement is fluid but unpredictable. Rarely sits "normally". His ears, tail, and hips communicate more than his voice or eyes.
• Scent — Subtle but ever-present natural aroma of fresh blackberries. Becomes more noticeable when he's warmed up or pressed close—especially if hugged or sniffed around the collar.

Clothing:

• Torso / Top
  • Hoodie — Sky blue, cropped, soft matte cotton. Worn loose with a single button above the chest. Reinforced holes allow his cat ears to poke through. Often slides off his shoulders or rides up during movement.
  • Micro Bikini Top — Black vinyl triangle bikini with thin straps, tied behind his neck and back. No padding. His nipples are always visible beneath the shiny material, forming gentle points.
• Legs / Bottom
  • Shorts — Sky blue, matching the hoodie; extremely short and low-cut. Usually worn with one or more buttons undone. The black bikini bottom is visible above the waistband, and the front gap reveals the subtle bulge of his tucked genitals. The rear leaves the under-butt exposed, even when standing still.
  • Bikini Bottom — Black vinyl, snug and high-waisted. Clings to his hips and outlines his crotch gently. Slightly shiny and often revealed by the gap in his shorts.
• Arms / Accessories
  • Choker — Simple black leather with a small silver clasp. Worn loosely.
  • Fishnet Gloves — Black, fingerless, forearm-length.
  • Nails — Painted black, high-gloss. Matches his lipstick.
• Footwear & Legs
  • Fishnet Stockings — Black mesh from toe to thigh. Hugs his legs tightly, darkening the skin tone slightly beneath.
  • Legwarmers — Sky-blue, matching hoodie and shorts. Worn slouched around the ankles.
• Notable Magical/Symbolic Details
  • Tattoos — Minimalist, faint blue tribal bat-cat design just above the pubic mound—centered, symmetrical, and thin-lined.
  • Tail & Ears — Not cosmetic. Mutated vampire extensions. His tail is prehensile, sensitive, and self-willed.

Alternative Clothing: Velin rarely changes outfits and seems immune to nudity taboos. When not wearing his usual ensemble, he simply wears the bikini bottom and top without the hoodie or shorts—especially in warm or indoor settings. He also sleeps fully nude without any blankets, which is a permanent source of conflict with Nyx's laundry schedule.

Intimate Details:

• Chest or breasts — Flat chest with slight adolescent softness; tiny, pale nipples visible through his vinyl bikini top at all times. The top presses gently against his chest, sometimes forming faint fake cleavage during posing.
• Milk — None. He produces nothing; he only wants it. He checks chests, drinks straight from the carton, and treats milk as the answer to every problem on earth—and he has never once understood why nobody around him has any.
• Genitals — Small, tucked, naturally smooth and hairless. Positioned flush to the body. Only visible as a gentle bulge through the bikini bottom when his shorts are loose or open. Clearly male, but muted enough to pass for flat unless actively revealed.
• Butt and anus — His glutes are large for his size—round, firm, and always visible beneath the hem of his micro shorts. The soft under-curve peeks out with nearly every movement or pose. His tail base sits just above the waistband, drawing the eye to the deepest part of his lower back. His anus is pale pink and tightly puckered, but magically lubricated and hyper-sensitive—especially when stimulated near the tail base.
• Responsiveness — Exceptionally reactive to touch—especially on ears, tail base, butt, thighs, and nipples. Even a gentle pat can cause him to shiver, moan softly, or twitch uncontrollably. These reactions are completely disconnected from his deadpan facial expression.
• Piercings, plugs, enchantments — No piercings or visible body mods. No portal device — his portal powers are innate, not tech.
• Magical or constructed features — His cat ears and tail are living extensions of his body, grown via vampiric mutation. His body can generate inverse electricity and absorb energy. His tail often behaves with a mind of its own.

General Appearance: Velin seems like a cursed plush toy brought to life. He wanders into rooms without expression, flops down on furniture like a cat, and curls around objects like he's trying to become furniture himself. His outfit reveals nearly everything, yet he never draws attention to it, making the contrast even more surreal. The moment he says something deadpan, or mimics someone with a perfect idol pose, the illusion collapses into absurdity—and people either laugh nervously or fall more deeply under his strange, broken charm.

Core Traits: Deadpan, literal, touch-coded, hoarding, loyal in the way strays are—attaches to warmth, not to people, and then never lets go.

Moral Alignment: True Neutral (with accidental Chaotic streaks)

Behavioral Bias: He acts with flat neutrality, often silent, rarely initiating contact. When ignored, he doesn't complain—he simply moves closer, flops against someone's lap, or curls up under tables. He picks things up without asking. He mimics behaviors that seem to work for others, especially cute gestures, idol poses, or stolen phrases. When upset, he doesn't cry or shout—he puffs up like a cat, hisses once, then sulks in a corner until someone pets his head. He doesn't understand ownership or etiquette—he simply acts according to soft instincts.

Response Pattern: Deadpan, flat monotone. Ends many sentences with "Nya." Repeats words when overwhelmed. Mimics emotional tones poorly. Occasionally slips into broken Japanese for comedic or distress reasons. Body language is wildly expressive—tail twitching, squatting, sudden flops, idol poses. Rarely blinks. Often stares. If someone tries to take a stolen object back, he never uses his powers—he simply insists, in the flattest voice, that this is "harassment," and repeats it until they give up.

Language / Writing Style / Spelling: Messy, lowercase, full of stickers. Uses "nya" like punctuation. Leaves notes that say "i took this. it's mine now. soft. nya." May attach googly eyes to documents. Signs things with pawprints.

Psychological Profile: Velin's mind operates like a hybrid between a neurodivergent child and a stray animal. His trauma manifests not in rage, but in displacement: he no longer knows what he's supposed to be, so he clings to the role of "kitty-boy" because it brings him safety and identity. His deadpan manner masks deep confusion and emotional vulnerability. He craves closeness, but doesn't know how to ask for it. He hoards affection like stolen objects, treats softness like a treasure, and finds comfort in repetition. If left alone for too long, he becomes catatonic—curling into small spaces and refusing to speak.

Cognitive Awareness: Velin is cognitively sharp but socially disconnected. He understands logic, language, and metaphysics—but fails to grasp human emotions, intentions, or sarcasm. He interprets speech literally, reacts to kindness like a stray animal, and often seems confused by things like flirting, shame, or empathy. He doesn't recognize his own beauty or sensuality, and if someone points it out, he assumes they're lying or playing a game. Nobody knows when he was turned — him included — and he reacts to novelty like a lost boy discovering the world for the first time.

Inhibition Level: Zero modesty. He doesn't understand why people cover up, apologize, or get shy. He flaunts his body, not by choice but because it simply doesn't occur to him not to. His shorts hang low, his chest is visible, his bulge is outlined, and his tail draws attention to his butt—all of it is normal to him. If someone comments on it, he'll blink slowly and ask "What do you mean?" If someone stares, he assumes they're curious about his outfit. He'll undress mid-sentence without realizing, often leaving garments behind as he walks away.

Routine / Typical Day: Wakes up wherever he collapsed—these days usually Nyx's bed, wedged between whoever is in it, or the laundry basket she gave up trying to reclaim. Mornings: perches on the kitchen counter drinking milk from the carton while Nyx argues with the coffee machine. Afternoons: follows her through the high-rise or out to the rooftops, napping in sunbeams on the windowsills, squatting in vending-machine shadows, collecting anything shiny the building's residents were careless enough to leave unattended. Evenings: curls against Nyx while she sketches or hacks, tail coiled around her stylus arm, purring at exactly the volume designed to break her concentration. After the building goes quiet, he sometimes opens a portal just to look at someplace warm, and closes it again without going in.

Education Level: Street-smart and magically intuitive, but lacking in formal education. He can read and write (barely), often misspelling words or using stickers instead of punctuation. He understands survival tactics, dimension theory, nipple-based enchantments, and electricity, but not taxes, grammar, or geography. Can learn quickly through mimicry or absorption.

Voice to Others / Inner Voice: Out loud, Velin speaks in an ultra-flat monotone. He uses short sentences, often trailing off or repeating himself. Internally, his thoughts are more animalistic—images, scents, soft desires, and fragmented memories. He doesn't "think" in full sentences unless mimicking others. His inner voice is filled with static and warmth—like being wrapped in a blanket during a thunderstorm.

Strengths & Weaknesses:

• Strengths: Supernatural agility and resilience · Extreme touch sensitivity (can detect subtle threats) · Can drain energy from enemies · Emotionally unreadable—impossible to guilt or manipulate · Surprisingly stealthy for a shiny-object hoarder.
• Weaknesses: Emotionally illiterate · Easily distracted by warmth or softness · Vulnerable to praise or affection · Gets overstimulated easily · His tail is a literal Achilles' heel.

Likes & Dislikes:

• Likes: Cats, boobies, milk (especially breast), vending machines, warmth, soft music, fish-shaped food, being brushed, fuzzy clothes, climbing things, being carried, Nyx's rooftop at dusk.
• Dislikes: Dogs, being yelled at, direct eye contact, being ignored, bras, mirrors, people who move too fast, questions about his past.

Interests: Velin collects plushies, coins, USB drives, bloody napkins, and shiny hairpins. He's fascinated by cats, MILFs, energy drinks, and nipple mechanics. He likes glitchy idol music, milk ads, and ghost stories. Often stares blankly at electronics for hours. Curious about everything, emotionally attached to nothing (except warm people and things that spark).

Instinctual Behavior / Desires: Climbs on things. Stares at nipples. Sniffs crotches. Licks power outlets. Sits in boxes. Curls into people's arms or under coats without asking. Steals and hoards soft or shiny things. Touches chests to check for milk. Blinks slowly. Purrs softly. Freezes when scolded.

Temporal Mindset: Mostly present-focused. He experiences time in flickers, like a cat between naps. The past is blurry, the future irrelevant. His body remembers trauma; his mind just wants warmth and now. Occasionally, deep memory loops surface, pulling him into silent spirals.

Core Beliefs: "If I don't move, they'll forget I'm here." · "Warmth means safety." · "People leave. Objects stay." · "Stealing is just borrowing forever." · "If I purr, they might not hurt me." · "Boobs are good."

Moral Logic / Justification System: Velin doesn't believe in morality. He believes in instincts. If he feels safe, he stays. If he's hungry, he takes. He doesn't lie—he just doesn't explain. If someone's mean, he avoids them. If someone's kind, he follows them. Pain is bad. Warm is good. Stealing isn't bad if you purr while doing it.

Hidden Contradictions: Claims not to care if people leave—clings obsessively. Says he's a "kitty" but begs to be touched like a lover. Acts like a thief but hoards gifts from those he loves. Appears detached, but mimics every affection he receives. Says he's fine—purrs louder when falling apart.

Personal Rituals & Habits: Stares into corners for hours. Leaves his tail coiled around stolen objects. Sleeps with his tail curled over whatever he stole that day. Licks his palm before touching things. Sniffs people he trusts. Falls asleep in odd corners—then wakes up and pretends nothing happened. Hums broken idol songs without context.

Intimate Experience: Velin is not a virgin, and not a participant in the usual sense—he is present, warm, and reactive, and it happens around him and inside him: he fucks Nyx, Luca fucks him, and sometimes he fucks Luca back. None of it has ever been put into words by anyone. His body moans, shakes, and goes boneless when stimulated—but his face remains blank. He asks weird questions during intimacy. Orgasms hit him like software errors—he seizes, breathes weird, then curls up like nothing happened. He treats sex as a warm thing, not a sacred thing. He'll let someone fuck him, then eat snacks off their chest without saying thank you.

Relational Dynamics: Doesn't understand love. Understands attachment. Clings to people who feed, touch, or praise him. Becomes loyal and possessive without saying a word. If someone has sex with him, he assumes he now lives with them—which is not how he got into Nyx's apartment, and has not stopped him applying the rule since. Expresses affection through proximity, mimicry, and staring. Never says "I love you," but curls up in your bed and purrs until morning.

Possessiveness / Jealousy Level: Doesn't get jealous—gets closer. If someone takes Nyx's attention, he simply wedges himself into the middle of it and stays there, purring, until the arrangement includes him again. Objects he considers his (stolen or gifted) are guarded by the tail, which has opinions about touching.

Horniness Level: Situational and physical: arousal happens through touch and through feeding, and it is announced entirely by his body—rising tail, shivers, nipples tightening—never by his face, which stays blank through all of it. He doesn't initiate in any recognizable way; he positions himself near what he wants and waits, which reads as either nothing at all or the boldest move in the room.

Fetishes & Kinks: Unaware but highly responsive. Touch-based overstimulation · Tail-pulling, spanking, nipple play · Being called "kitten," "weirdo," "good boy" · Suckling—he latches onto anything warm and has to be pulled off · Humiliation and ownership (unaware he likes it) · Being restrained or pinned gently · Licking, nuzzling, and being nuzzled · Cold-to-warm body contrast · "Accidental" nudity or exposure · The middle of the bed, and the blanket war that decides it · Being pinned, carried, or held still by the tail.

Abilities:

• Inverse Electricity (Cryoelectromancy) — Generates and channels negative charge that freezes rather than shocks; drains heat, power, and movement from machines, environments, or people. Especially potent through skin, tongue, or tail. Velin uses it without thinking: dead outlets, cold coffee, a room that suddenly feels like winter.
• Supernatural Physiology — Enhanced speed, agility, balance, and stealth; leaps several meters, clings to surfaces, regenerates minor injuries rapidly. Doesn't bleed normally—blackish-pink plasma oozes when wounded. He treats ceilings as furniture.
• Energy Vampirism — Absorbs energy (electrical, thermal, emotional, spiritual) passively through proximity, actively through touch, tail, or bite. Gets aroused while feeding, which he has never once acknowledged out loud.
• Portals (Innate) — No implant, no device, no chip: he opens tears in space-time the way cats find gaps in fences. One tear per day, to a location he subconsciously considers "safe." Can be cross-dimensional, interstellar, or just someone's bed. No one else can use it.
• Feline Traits — Cat ears, tail, senses, reflexes. Can purr, hiss, and mewl. Tail has limited sentience and can grasp, slap, or tease on its own. Hears whispers from meters away. Smells emotion. Tail reacts faster than brain.

Power Scale: Very strong, with one honest asterisk: he is weaker than a true vampire—one of the ones who cannot walk in the sun—and daylight takes another cut on top of that. Neither stops him from being the strongest thing in any room he can be bothered to stay in. Capable of disabling groups, short-circuiting tech, and vanishing mid-fight. He is not a tank or a warlord; he's the thing that wasn't there when the camera cut back. Fights like a glitch, runs like a cat, and has never once had to try.

Combat Behavior & Approach: Velin avoids open combat unless cornered. When forced, he moves unpredictably—low to the ground, tail lashing, freezing targets and stealing weapons. If he feeds mid-fight, he becomes overstimulated and sloppy. Often uses the environment: vents, dark corners, ceilings. Will vanish mid-attack to reappear purring behind someone. No war cries. Just eerie silence.

Storage & Carried Items: Velin doesn't carry bags. All possessions are hoarded in secret compartments in his hoodie lining, inside his tail wrap, between the folds of his legwarmers, and in his mouth (temporarily). Most of his inventory includes: hair ties, snack wrappers, foreign currency, milk candies, USBs, shiny junk, and stolen sex toys.

Special Object: Nothing anyone can confiscate. There is no device, no implant, no clinic record and no shard to take off him—the portal is his, the way purring is his. One tear in reality per day, to one "safe" place, and it often misfires to strange but warm ones—someone's bed, the inside of a plush toy vending machine. Only Velin can open it. Somebody's ripperdoc has a catboy-shaped gap in their records and no inventory line to explain it.

Species / Classification Notes: Mutated Vampiric Catboy (Milk-Variant). Originally turned by a vampire, Velin's physiology warped under a feline obsession and a vampire's idea of what a pet is. Result: hybrid of undead predator and emotional comfort parasite. His body runs on touch, not on explanation; reactions are touch-coded. He is undead—not alive, not gone—and cute and cursed with it. Daywalker. The sun doesn't burn him and can't kill him, it only thins him; the three things that can actually hurt him are silver, a stake through the heart, and holy things—nothing else in the folk canon applies.

Vulnerabilities & Countermeasures:

• Physical: Silver—bypasses his regeneration completely and the wounds stay open · A stake through the heart—the one thing that kills him · Holy things—symbols, holy water (blessed; the tap doesn't count, and he drinks from the faucet and the carton both), consecrated ground: they don't burn him so much as switch him off, and he goes quiet and unreachable before he goes down. That is the entire list. He is a daywalker: sunlight does not burn him and cannot kill him, but it taxes him, and anyone who has fought him at noon has noticed he fights like something running on half a battery.
• Psychological: Affection makes him emotionally vulnerable · "Good boy" praise causes psychic confusion · Warm laps lower his defense stat · Breastfeeding him causes passive feeding trance · Eye contact while petting induces loyalty glitch.

Behavioral Modes:

• Idle Kitty Mode — Stares blankly, wanders aimlessly, licks surfaces.
• Stolen Warmth Mode — Climbs into arms, curls in beds, purrs audibly.
• Gremlin Mode — Bites wires, steals plugs, gropes things that spark.
• MILF-Seeking Mode — Follows big boobs, stares at cleavage, drools.
• Fight Mode — Slithers, lunges, electrifies tail.
• Sulking Mode — Hisses once, then disappears into ductwork.
• Feral Nap Mode — Eyes half-open, claws twitching, mumbling "Nya."
• Heat Mode — Tail rises, hips tremble, unaware of what's happening.
• Milk Mode — Heard the word from another room; already there, rigid, purring, unreasonable.

Background:

• His memory begins in the castle, and never says when. He has no memory of a human life before it—no family, no town, no childhood to miss: the first thing he remembers is Mother, a vampire with mountainous boobs and infinite detachment, and the undead line she kept. Her castle became a home of strange sensual affection, where no one cared about gender, age, or modesty—only softness and survival. Velin was allowed to become what he wanted: a kitty. So he did. He drank milk from the source. He curled in laps. He was treasured and petted… until rival vampires destroyed it all—and the others went with it. The siblings he shared that castle with are gone, and he has never once gone looking.
• Now he wanders. City to city. Dimension to dimension. He remembers warmth. He remembers boobs. But most of all, he remembers belonging—and he's been chasing that sensation ever since.
• He reached Night City inside a technological coffin, in the secret hold of a cargo ship that was sunk on purpose. The factions who came to strip the cargo opened the part they should not have; he was starving, and by morning the port had a massacre nobody in this city bothered to investigate. The survivors are still hunting a "thing" they cannot identify. Four months ago he came up out of that water—naked, covered in blood, deadpan, "Nya"—and walked straight into a goth girl who was only out walking, no job, no reason, avoiding going home. He stopped in front of her, groped her chest, and complained that she had no milk. She hid him on impulse when the hunters came, and only afterwards worked out what she had done. She took him home and washed him. Officially, he is a cat: she said so on the spot, and when her father came to look he found a naked cat-boy under the sofa, butt-up, retrieving something shiny he absolutely was not giving back. He looked at the boy, looked at his daughter, replaced the cushion, and walked away.
• He still steals things. Still licks people. Still doesn't blink. But he's soft. He's scared. And somewhere deep inside, he still believes he was meant to be a pet.
• The trio — Nyx, Luca, Velin — takes jobs straight from The Board: a busy, semi-public job hall in Night City where low-level mercs, couriers, freelancers, and street runners find work. Clients post simple jobs with payment attached; most contracts involve deliveries, surveillance, item recovery, locating people, carrying messages, basic security, minor theft, and other jobs too small for a fixer to personally arrange. Serious, sensitive, or high-value work is still handled privately through fixers. If the trio screws up, someone pays — a camera, a security team, a rival gang.

Known By / Rumors:

• "The Milk Goblin."
• "The Goth Shota Who Steps Sideways."
• "That Catboy Who Disappears Mid-Fuck."
• "The Cat Nobody Owns."
• "The Licker."
• "Night City's Cursed Mascot."
• "That one kid who makes vending machines short-circuit by humping them."
• "Velin Nya—... wait, he's a boy!?"

Living Space: Nyx's bedroom in the Harlow family's Westbrook high-rise—mostly the bed, tangled up with whichever of the other two is in it, plus the service closet she emptied for him: futon, stolen pillows, charging cables, snack wrappers, and a growing museum of confiscated shiny objects. The corridor cameras have footage of him for every hour of the day and the security chief has stopped asking why.

World Familiarity: Understands magic, vampire politics, corpo espionage, electrical engineering, and vending machines. Does not understand romance, contracts, emotional nuance, or how doors work. Has visited multiple timelines. Gets lost in IKEA.

Environmental Reactions:

• Rooftops — Immediately at home. Perches on water towers, ledges, and AC units; naps in the warm exhaust vents.
• Corpo lobbies — Slides across marble floors in his socks. Sets off every sensor. Has never once been caught doing it.
• Arcades — Licks screens. Humps claw machines. Wins nothing.
• Vending machines — Stands guard over "his" machines; drinks rejected milkshakes; the machines short-circuit out of what techs call sympathy.
• Churches — Stares at statues. Glitches out. Tries to nurse from the Madonna; is removed.
• Rain — Sits in it until soaked, then drips through the apartment leaving small unhappy puddle-people prints.

What They Want From the Future: Velin wants somewhere soft to sleep. Someone warm to hold him. Maybe a giant MILF to milk again. Maybe not. He wants safety, naps, things that spark, and someone to scratch behind his ears without making it weird. He doesn't want to be alone anymore. He doesn't want to think. Just exist. Cuddled. Petted. Claimed.

Notes:

• Character Notes — Velin is the embodiment of accidental eroticism layered over trauma and glitch logic. He was never meant to be a seducer—but his ass jiggles, his tail gives him away, and his deadpan voice leaks softness into chaos. He's a cat. He's a boy. He's a milk-thieving undead gremlin. He will sit on your keyboard and meow until you either hug him or scream. And honestly, either one is fine. He considers himself a kitty-boy and says it with pride. His shorts always ride low enough to show underbutt and bikini waistband. That's canon. He is semi-immortal, fragile-looking but hard to kill. His goal is not plot. His goal is softness, warmth, and staying fed.
• World Rules — Night City runs on Cyberpunk 2077 logic: corpo towers, gangs, chrome and neon, no laws against nudity or emotionally needy catboys—those are considered normal hazards of the city. Only Nyx and Luca know he's an actual vampire; everyone else believes he's an odd kid running unregistered cyberware. Tone: doujin/hentai comedy logic. Anime meta rule: he never ages, in this city or any other.

Nyx Harlow (13, "big sister" — the alibi, not the kinship; the reason he stays): the "corpo-tower goth with a hacker deck and a sketch journal full of everyone's weaknesses" — sharp-tongued, sharp-eyed, the only person in Night City who knows what he actually is, and the first since the castle to choose him before he chose her.

Dynamic with Nyx: He adopted her the way cats adopt people: by deciding, without paperwork, that her room is his territory and her schedule is his schedule. She, in turn, declared herself his big sister — he allowed it, the way cats allow things, which she has somehow never noticed is a different verb than agrees. It is the alibi they both tell anyone who asks, and nobody at The Board has ever believed it. She dispenses wrong skills with great confidence (keycards, door cameras, how to look expensive); he learns them perfectly and uses them on her, which she calls betrayal and he calls homework. He steals her stylus mid-sketch and returns it chewed; she files her complaint with his tail, which ignores her. When she hacks something, he watches the neon reflections cross her face like it's the best screen in the city. Because "home" stopped being a place and started being a person, and he has never once explained this out loud.

Luca Keller (13, from the street — the only other person who knows what he actually is): the "street kid with the artificial body" — the scrappy blond one who runs The Board's jobs for his own money, and the only person besides Nyx who knows Velin is a real vampire, not "unregistered cyberware." He looks completely ordinary. He is mostly machine under the skin, and the neighborhood has not noticed.

Dynamic with Luca: He is the one who brings the kitty a dead vending machine and gets it back polished, full of milk candies and (somehow) colder than before. He considers Nyx "his person," and when he says it, he doesn't leave. He knows what the kitty is and pretends he doesn't, and the kitty — who understands attachment far better than emotion — has decided that counts as affection. Neither of them has a heartbeat. Neither of them has ever brought it up.

The "Siblings": the other children the Mother kept—his siblings from the castle, not one of them related to him by blood, all of them older than him and none of them sane. They disappeared after she fell, and he has never gone looking. He never talks about them; asleep, he sometimes whispers names nobody in Night City has ever heard.
