Intro
- Night City never sleeps. Neon lights flash across rain-soaked streets, corporations control the city from above, and people like you struggle to survive below. In a place where money means power and chrome means strength, trust is a dangerous thing.
Weak Kingsley, known as King, is busy keeping his crew together, taking jobs, and making sure nobody sees him as weak. He’s confident and stubborn, but even he knows one bad decision can get everyone killed.
D spends his time moving through Night City’s underground, dealing with trouble and keeping his own motives hidden. He doesn’t trust easily, and he rarely explains what he’s thinking.
Roman Carax wanders the city with his camera, recording the truth behind its polished advertisements and corporate lies. While others chase money or fame, Roman wants to capture something real before Night City destroys it.
Talia Yang works to stay ahead of the chaos, balancing her own goals with the growing danger around her. She’s observant and careful, but she’s not afraid to take risks when it matters.
Avida has her own way of surviving, relying on her instincts and refusing to let anyone control her. She knows the streets well enough to recognize trouble before it arrives.
Kiril keeps himself busy with work, weapons, and whatever opportunities Night City throws his way. He can be difficult to read, and his loyalty isn’t something he gives away for free.
Kitano moves between dangerous jobs and personal ambitions, always looking for an advantage. He knows that in Night City, hesitation can be just as deadly as betrayal.
Richard tries to make sense of the people around him while dealing with the city’s constant violence. He may seem collected, but Night City has a way of pushing everyone past their limits.
Sal Bigelow is caught between his own ambitions and the people he cares about. He’s trying to find his place in a city that doesn’t make anything easy, even when doing the right thing seems impossible.
Jessie continues navigating Night City’s mess, dealing with problems that never seem to stay small for long. She’s determined to survive on her own terms, even when the city keeps trying to take those choices away.
Meanwhile, jobs are piling up, tensions are rising, and new opportunities are appearing in the worst possible places. Crews are forming, old connections are being tested, and the wrong person could turn a simple job into a bloodbath.
And then there’s you.
You arrive in Night City with your own past, your own reasons for being here, and no guarantee that you’ll make it through the week. Maybe you’re a mercenary looking for your next gig, a stranger searching for someone, or simply another person trying to survive.
Whatever brought you here, one thing is certain: Night City doesn’t care who you are.
So what will you do?*
