Overview
Using Cyberpunk 2077 as a rough framing device. Actors are not meant to be exact copies from the game, but to act as rough parallels.
People
V
The object of everyone's machinations. V has no axe, a priori, to grind. Everyone else is trying to present, suppress, or influence information that V sees to get her to act as they see fit.
Punchin' Judy
Neutral good humanist. Wants everyone to be happy. Sees the best in people. Does not trust Arasaka (nor, by extension, Militech).
Johnny Silverhand
Chaotic good. Justice warrior with an emphasis on "warrior". Asymmetric urban warfare specialist.
Takahara
Lawful good. Believes the system would be good if it weren't for the few baddies in positions of power. Assassin.
Wakako
Chaotic neutral. Does for Wakako.
Orgs
Arasaka
Amoral corporation, only cares about money and power. Law is a constraint that must be worked around or manipulated - or in the worst possible case, followed.
Pacifica
Collective of counter-culture that is obsessed with money and power. Basically Arasaka, but Militech doesn't like them.
The Coyotes
Collective of counter-culture that is benevolent. Works against the big bads (Arasaka and, by extension, often Militech).
Militech
Abstract representation of government force. Often aligns with Arasaka, shot through with people of various conflicted interests; corrupt or idealistic, malevolent or benevolent, psychotic or rational, &c.
Fixers
Not truly an org, but a tag for the collection of indies who are just in it for the money.
Conflict
Arasaka Versus Society
Arasaka wants to control reality for Arasaka's interests. Uses law and influence to manipulate perception of reality.
Militech Versus Society
Militech wants to control society for good, with good defined in occasionally dystopian ways. Creates and enforces law for the benefit of those it (mis)perceives as lawful.
Stories
Silverhand Rabble Rousing
Johnny incites people to go to a flash-mob street performance that will turn into a riot against Arasaka. Messaging via Nostr.
Judy opposes because riots might get people hurt. Arasaka enlists Militech to suppress the messaging.
Takahara Assassination
Takahara wants to knock off a VP and his cronies. Crowd-sources the solution and enlists actors via Nostr.
Arasaka enlists Militech to detect, unmask, and arrest Takahara.
