“ A gang of Raffen Shiv even formed outside Night City's gates: the Wraiths. They're well-organized, effective, and willing to do anything. After all, like all Raffens, they've got nothing left to lose.” - wraith dataterm entry, 2077 neotribes: the nomads of North America, a cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook (1994) / cyberpunk 2077 (2020)

MAELSTROM —  The Exiles
Tumblr media
(via DATAFORTRESS 2020)
The Maelstrom refer to their Nomad chapter as the Exiles due to the fact that the majority of members either are on the run from other gangs or have extensive police records and have officially had their citizenship revoked. Regardless for most members of the Exiles, Night City is no longer a safe place to be, even in the Combat Zone. However not all the Exiles suffer from this unfortunate status, and they have been known to recruit from the nomad community, even among the Raffen Shiv. Because of this, and the nature of Maelstrom as a whole, even though they claim Snake Nation ties, many people see them as little more than Raffen Shiv themselves.
Exiles generally have fewer cybernetics than the rest of Maelstrom, but more than your typical nomad. They do runs up and down the west coast, usually providing outrider services to smugglers, but try to hit Night City at least once a month on supply runs. When this happens, they bring in weapons, ammunition, and vehicles in exchange for drugs, tech, and money.
Like the other Maelstrom, the Exiles live to fight, and they will purposefully hire on with convoys moving through high-risk areas. Rumor has it that some groups who have refused to hire them and fallen prey to Raffen Shiv have actually been set up, or even attacked, by the Exiles themselves.
When bringing supplies into the Maelstrom in the Night City Combat Zone they use box trucks they keep stored in a secret location, free of graffiti or markings, with secret storage spaces. Armed members on cycles escort them to the city limits, where they wait for them to return. The guards near the lower eastern wall exit are heavily bribed to let the trucks go through. Since whatever is being smuggled in usually stays in the zone, and whatever is smuggled out goes to the nomad community, the police at the gates tend not to care much and pocket the money happily.

for the OCs thing can i get SLUDGE my boy sludge
Tumblr media
01. Full name: Remington Harold Spalding - Sludge to his friends and enemies
02. Best friend: Skippy (the gun)
03. Sexuality: bisexual but no one wants him
04. Favorite color: radioactive green n gunmetal grey
05. Relationship status: in his Totentanz bathroom hookup era
06. Ideal mate: Insists up and down that he doesn’t need anyone. That he’s a lone wolf, a maverick, that he walks the rebel path. He’d actually really really like someone to hold his hand though.
07. Turn-ons: restraints and getting choked out
08. Favorite food: CRICKETS. Crickets on anything and everything - he likes the crunch. His dream is to have a live one someday, but those are awfully hard to find.

07. Turn-ons: restraints and getting choked out
08. Favorite food: CRICKETS. Crickets on anything and everything - he likes the crunch. His dream is to have a live one someday, but those are awfully hard to find.
09. Crushes: Blatantly crushing on his new boss. Also wouldn’t mind putting the Smasher in Adam Smasher. 
10. Favorite music: Tinnitus, thrash-metal, closeted Lizzy Wizzy stan
11. Biggest fear: Hell’s real and he’s going no matter what
12. Biggest fantasy: Same as every solo wannabe - to make it big in Night City. He wants everyone to know his name, but for good reason this time. He wants to be wanted. 
13. Bad habits: Uses his titanium teeth to bite through anything and everything - even stuff that should be nowhere near his mouth. 
14. Biggest regret: He thought that helping his gang catch Saul would change…something. That he could get Saul to look at him as someone to fear instead of someone to hate and pity in equal measures. Or at least, that he’d have proven himself as useful to the Wraiths. All it got him was a fiery crash out in the middle of a sandstorm.
15. Best kept secrets: While it’s no secret that he blasted his boyhood rival point-blank in the face, the truth is that he didn’t really mean to. It wasn’t the first time he’d gotten all worked up, waved around his shotgun trying to be a big man - it was just the first time his finger slipped.
16. Last thought: That expiration dates are more a suggestion than a rule.
17. Worst romantic experience: He got crabs at Totentanz once. Cybernetic crabs, with little glowy red eyes. Made by a Maelstromer who used them to hack into his bank account and stole his last $200.
18. Biggest insecurity: Everything and everything about himself.
19. Weapon of choice: Light machine gun, tire iron, Skippy. 20. Role Model: Unfortunately, Johnny Silverhand. (“Too bad his band sucked.”)

Wraith
Had an interesting dream where Vice had been picked-up/recruited by Raffen Shiv as a teenager, and to cope with the heartbreak of Phantom Liberty I decided to put off finishing the game to...make it real? 💀👻
(psst @wraithsoutlaws you were totally right 😭)

V and their partner’s kid headcanons.
Evelyn Alvarez (Judy and V).
Takes more from Judy but also V at the same time.
Interested in BD editing like Judy.
Total ankle biter when she was a baby.
Gets into trouble in school a lot.
Also shares her mom’s temper.
And shares her mom’s talent with robotics as well.
Wants to become a BD director one day.
Johnny Eurodyne (Kerry and V)
Totally takes the best from both Kerry and V.
Kerry mostly gets along with him despite being busy and tries his best to raise him.
V does the same as well.
Shares his dad’s talent for guitar while sharing his other dad’s talent for shooting guns.
Often thinks of becoming a rocker boy or a solo. V prefer’s it if he’s a rocker boy instead of being a merc.
V and Kerry both paused when they said he asked out a girl and they said yes.
Joss Ward (River and V)
Is a mix between River and V’s personality.
High honor in class.
Great detective skills and marksmanship.
It’s awkward like her dad but vicious like her mom at the same time.
Will not hesitate to off a serial killer.
Either wants to be a detective but also be a Merc.
Saul Palmer (Panam and V)
Total rebel and born leader at the same time. Shares his mom’s tenacity but wisdom at the same time.
Knows his way around the Badlands.
Hates Raffen Shiv’s with a passion.
Thinks Rogue is cool.
Is a shit poster
Often listens to Swedleborg Riveira until V told him the truth about him.
Hypothetical Partners
Song So-Jung (Song So Mi and V)
Quiet most of the time.
Had major separation anxiety when she was a toddler.
Built computers when she was about 13.
Always asks her mom about netrunning and So Mi tells her she isn’t ready yet.
So Mi is genuinely protective over her. She doesn’t want to lose her like she did with Reed and Alex.
When she discovered her mom’s FIA past, So Mi had a long talk about it with her and V.
Repaired a Cerberus at age 14. She calls it Bee.
Issei Arasaka (Hanako and V)
Literally a more calmer and nicer Katsuo Tanaka.
Is an introvert and doesn’t have much friends. If at all.
Has silent family dinners with his parents. There’s always tension right there.
Hanako is barely in his life. V did most of the parenting. But when she was there, she would be the most withdrawn yet still loves their son.
Takemura is his uncle.
Brittany Stout (Meredith Stout and V)
Literal Queen Bee.
Has her mom’s explosive temper and knows kung fu ironically.
Meredith sometimes is there but she always acts like she wants to be somewhere else.
V and Meredith still love her. They’re just too busy at the moment.
When she mentioned she’s asked out a guy on a date, Meredith stopped what she’s doing and congratulated her. She soon had snipers following the two in case something happens.

2 for Hiro, 1 for Avi and Ares, 16 for Ares :3
Character asks for @a-pirate 🥰🥰
Hiro:
Lt. Mower: What is the worst betrayal your character has faced?
Hiro isn't a stranger towards how self-serving people can be, but by far the worst was Wakako. He grew up thinking he didn't have any family aside from a brother he was estranged from, didn't know that she was his grandmother or that his dad had been her son, estranged from the family, or that he has a half-sister. She kept an eye on him growing up, but always held him at arm's length. She said it was because she didn't want him to turn out like his father, that it was for his own good but he wishes she just would've told him, been more involved. She let him make his own mistakes, firm iin her belief that if he was determined enough he would dig himself out of them, and while that held true, he's always resented her for it. He put his trust in the wrong people and she simply watched.
Ares:
The Wasteland: How does your OC feel about the Raffen Shiv? Is it too harsh what the Nomad clans do, or is it fair?
Ares' view of the Raffen Shiv is less rooted in personal views and more of a practical nature. While she doesn't think the punishment of exile is too harsh, especially given what led to them getting kicked out, she's less "kill on sight' than other Nomads. She's the only mechanic shop around for miles, and as a result her clients tend to be an ecelctic mix, Wraiths included. And she knows that sometimes it's easier to tolerate their occasional presence in exchange for leaving her alone, and minding their own business. It would be foolish to raid a place packing that much firepower, at least on your own, and her no-nonsense attitude is at the very least, respected. If you bring her a car with blood on the seats though, expect an extra cleaning fee tacked on. She doesn't like the Raffens, but she also doesn't have a Nomad clan backing her, that allows her to pick the bigger fights, and still sleep soundly.
Avi & Ares
Demons of War: Is there a job that's left a permanent mark on your OC?
Mr. and Mrs. Peralez turned to Avi, when they started questioning their home's security, and wanted to investigate the death of the mayor. He'd previously been afiliated with Arasaka, and had experience with corporate politics/complexities, while not having current loyalty to any coorporation, and had slipped out of the limelight following his departure from the company--a perfect fit for digging up information that others wanted to keep secret, and to protect himself or them, if it ever came to that. He'd been communicating with an anonymous source since before his split with the company, feeding them information in exchange for Arasaka's dirt--assistance in locating his files, of which he could find no trace. It's the first time he met the mysterious Mr. Blue Eyes face to face, and shortly before he was able to connect his mysterious source to an individual, and the realization that he'd stepped into a mess even deeper in the attempt to avoid Arasaka's.
For Ares, it was the hit put out on Joanne Koch, Biotechnica's chief. She has her own reasons for mistrusting Corpos, and a group of Nomads reached out to her, seeking vengence. She's not tied to a clan, and doesn't have the same responsibilities to stay put and look after her family. Although hit jobs aren't her usual forte, it was something she never would have been able to refuse, particularly after she was able to locate the files on her mark, and learn of the death of the Red Ocher Nomads. Rather than electing to zero Koch, she knocked her out and delivered her personally to the Nomads, feeling as if they should be the ones to decide what to do with her. It's only intensified the belief that Corps can't be allowed to get too comfortable in the Badlands, and she's been open in discussing this with the Aldecaldos, stating that she'll in no condition be an ally if they side with Biotechnica. This has led to her relationship with Saul being strained at best.

telling panam no to shooting up the shiv base is honestly hilarious. like, i love panam, and i only ever say no to her if i'm playing corpo (calculated risks too high) but omfg the drive to the hotel is so uncomfortable. panam is just SILENTLY BRISTLING. and v can try to make conversation, which is so awkward. but v can also just be like "really? the silent treatment? real mature," and i'm just dying because the tension is so thick and it's so AWKWARD AND PANAM TELLS V TO SHUT UP AND LMAO IDK IT'S JUST HILARIOUS
and it's also funny because you can tell panam is pissed off at you and she barely talks to you at the bar and she just tells you to meet her at 12am and leaves. you CAN still romance her after this, but omfg it's so uncomfortable. i do not recommend it. but if you do say no, rogue will be happy with you and give you a sweet car. but saying no to panam feels unhealthy.

Hi!
For the cyberpsychosis ask:
For Corpo val: Demons of War: Is there a job that has left a permanent mark on your OC? For Streetkid Val: The Wasteland: How does your OC feel about the Raffen Shiv? Is it too harsh what the Nomad clans do or is it fair?
Thanks for the ask, @morganlefaye79!
For Corpo Val: Demons of War: Is there a job that has left a permanent mark on your OC?
Besides the Heist? 🥲 There are several.
The Mexico job with Jackie left a permanent mark in that it secured Val to Jackie. Without it, she would have had a completely different trajectory, and she wouldn't have had him to fall back on when Arasaka dismissed her.
The Dirty Biz job really fucked her up. She tends to be more calculating than cruel, but this time she pushed her cruelty to the max. She shot the son in the kneecap and let him scream for some time while asking the father how it felt to be living it himself, and suggesting he should be scrolling everything. She then shot the son in the stomach and watched as he slowly bleeds out, screaming and crying for his father who sobbed, unable to help his son. She finally put a bullet in the son's head and asked the father if he thought the child who was murdered deserved his fate. He doesn't answer, just sobbed into his hands, and Val put him down, too.
That night, she called in some favors and found someone holding Blue Glass, and she bought enough that she couldn't account for the next 36 hours.
For Streetkid!Val: The Wasteland: How does your OC feel about the Raffen Shiv? Is it too harsh what the Nomad clans do or is it fair?
Even though her version of family is different from the Nomad clans (streetkids looking out for each other), she has a strong sense of justice when it comes to people betraying their own. She thinks Raffen Shiv deserve what they get, and she has no qualms about shooting first and asking questions later.
Cyberpsychosis Asks!
