NIGHT CITY, a cyberpunk AU




NIGHT CITY is an animanga Cyberpunk roleplay inspired by the hit anime, Cyberpunk Edgerunners! Drawing from Mike Pondsmith’s legendary setting, Night City seeks to capture the essence of humanity’s dark future and provide a space for people to tell stories in. Members can create any type of character they want, from courageous edgerunners to devious corpos to dangerous gangsters. Contribute to the living mythology of Night City and explore the dangerous, dark beauty of a future in which humanity has augmented themselves with cyberware and corporations run rampant. Become a legend like Johnny Silverhand, Adam Smasher, or David Martinez, your story punctuated by all the triumphs and tragedies that come with life in Night City.





Night City will be hosted on Jcink with premium. As such, we are aiming for a 3-3-3 rating with this. Night City is focused on making it as easy as possible to write and tell stories. As such, we have no true mechanics and are instead focused on narrative engagement and freeform writing. We also have a category of threads in which one member may act as the Storyteller, a narrator-like role that allows members to write scenarios for other members to respond to and create a guided narrative. In a similar vein, we are also working to make character creation as painless as possible so that members can focus on writing with others.

In terms of tone, we are seeking more to emulate Edgerunners in particular. Night City is also designed to be approachable, no matter what level of familiarity you have with the setting, as we have numerous on-site resources to help get you familiarized with the world. We seek to foster a welcoming, cooperative, and creative community on Night City, and we would be absolutely thrilled to have folks join us!

As it stands, Night City is nearly complete and is set to launch within a few weeks.

If you are interested in chatting about the project and getting in on the ground floor, you can join our Discord server HERE!


Otherwise, I would love to hear some feedback on the following:

-How familiar are you with Cyberpunk?

-What do you think of when you hear “Cyberpunk”?

-Going with your first impulse, your gut feeling, what would your first character be like?

As a person who's been craving a truly immersive sci-fi roleplay experience, this really calls to me as a project! I am loving the freeform approach and focus on writing stories, as that's what I'm always drawn toward on sites.

1. How familiar are you with Cyberpunk?

Familiar enough! Having watched all of Edgerunners and seen a few gameplay clips of the 2077 game, I feel comfortable enough jumping into this setting especially because there are plans for a member guide to be available for people.

2. What do you think of when you hear “Cyberpunk”?

Futuristic, dark, larger-than-life adventure.

3. Going with your first impulse, your gut feeling, what would your first character be like?

I am definitely looking forward to making a ripperdoc-class character, as I thought their inclusion in the Edgerunners anime was very fascinating to me. I'd like to make a cool girl who helps people get chrome modifications, and works as a bit of a cyberpunk against corpo powers!

I'd additionally want to make an Arasaka heir, a popular celebrity who meddles with the inner workings of gangs and lower level citizens.

How familiar are you with Cyberpunk?
Loved the game when it first game out. Was super absorbed into the setting. Didn't watch the anime.

What do you think of when you hear “Cyberpunk”?
Admittedly the game instead of the genre as a whole.

Going with your first impulse, your gut feeling, what would your first character be like?
Some second-in-command to a gang.

High tech, low life

I've played 2077, watched Edgedrunners, read most of the comics, own a copy of Cyberpunk Red, and own a copy of The World of Cyberpunk 2077. So only a bit.


-What do you think of when you hear “Cyberpunk”?
The genre mostly.


-Going with your first impulse, your gut feeling, what would your first character be like?
A gang affiliated ripper-doc

-How familiar are you with Cyberpunk?
Played both major tabletop games (Cyberpunk RED and Cyberpunk 2020), the former as both a player character of multiple campaigns and a DM, the latter as a player character. Read RED’s handbook and familiarized myself with its lore. Played a bit of 2077, watched the first half of Edgerunners. So a fair bit?

-What do you think of when you hear “Cyberpunk”?
The genre. Gimme Blade Runner, Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, VA-11 Hall-A, heck even Orwell. I love the genre.

-Going with your first impulse, your gut feeling, what would your first character be like?
No lie would remake my favorite RED pc — a corpo nepotism exec baby who’s secretly moonlighting as a Banksy-type media exposing corpo practices in vidfeeds. Bruce Wayne/Batman but for the corporate takedown journalism community.



coming soon.
