Almost every significant Prime Defender character

[the0retically]

I absolutely adore my Dakota fic. Is it well written? No, not at all. Is the idea cool? I think so. Does it make me sad because of Alaska’s impact on Dakota? Absolutely

I need to rewrite it at some point but i do really love the concept and the idea of it

adding your tags bc they make me crazy !!!!!!

im normal and can be trusted to think about dakota & alaska damascus btw

[bizlybebo]

anyways i had time to think about dakota cole on the flight and i was specifically thinking about system headcanons cause of the posts i reblogged earlier and now im thinking about plural dakota cole. youre a kid whos gone through hell and back and Then you live with somebody who loves you so much and tries so earnestly but simply Cannot bear the weight of your grief (being your dead parents’ only child; alaska was grieving her sibling too) and your sheer energy. so you learn to compartmentalize yourself and your personality and suppress who you are because you’re your aunts little boy and your parents’ kid. but you’re also an energetic loud attention seeking kid in class who will do anything ambitious or daring to be noticed by others. and you’re the quiet little boy who wanders the streets of new haven aimlessly avoiding going back to the apartment and crouching down to pet stray cats and murmuring to them. and you’re also the kid who kicks his shoes off in a dead silent apartment and checks your aunt’s pulse and wipes the drool from the corner of her mouth and closes the bottle of whatever vice she chose tonight and settles her to bed and staggers through a dirty apartment to your one safe haven: your room. and you escape it all by dreaming of being a superhero who can save people and starting by saving your aunt and moving away from all of this junk and neglect and pain and maybe if you were a hero you could’ve saved your parents too. and you can’t form into a full person when you’re just clawing at trying to survive and still be positive and hide what you’re going through cause there are other people hurting and you can save them. always the weight of the world with you dakota. i’m just saying that with all of this i can see where a split seriously could’ve happened. and then there’s all that stuff witj katori and the procedure and mato and then dakota joining pd. and how he mentions time passing weirdly for him and his gaps in his memory (and obvious suppression of memories + emotions) and how he can’t remember when he goes “feral” and also his entire thing of adopting a new identity (dakota damascus vs dakota cole). like these aren’t necessarily criteria for being a system at all and these are all possible “Normal” aspects of being a singlet character too but just looking at it through this lens is so. man. yknow

[lericekrispie]

Back on that Native Dakota Cole propaganda grind

Dakota Cole being Native is so important to me. This silly little headcannon brings me so much joy, to see the character do so many things that are so so Native coded and to have a story that feels inherently Native. I don't get a lot of representation in mainstream media. A lot of the time you have to search for it yourself. In this essay I will-

Native Coding Evidence in Cannon-

Dakota, the name by itself is a fairly Native name.

Alaska (Dakota's aunt) is also a very Native name.

Dakota's real name, Damascus, originally sounded very French to me. French would point to Native, because Native people often traded with French fur traders up north (of the united states) and into Canada. With the French, sometimes there was intermarriage, whether in violence or in peace. However, with some research into the name it comes from the Bible, and the direct meaning from google is "A sack full of blood, the similitude of burning."

Alaska's struggle with addiction (a common symptom of generational trauma from the Native genocide)

Playing a drum to calm down! Drums are a very Native thing.

He has that weird thing with bears? Native ways teach more by doing then showing so learning from wildlife seems to be a way his Grandma mentor would try to teach him, and Bears is a very Native associated animal.

How Dakota fits a Native Narrative-

Having a warrior spirit. Dakota Cole has very strong morals, and undoubtedly a fighting spirit. From the way he fights, from his strength, to his honor and respect for life.

He's disconnected from his family, yet makes strong connections with others. A lot of natives separated from their culture because of assimilation and genocide often yearn for families they know love them but cannot reach, for a culture they know should be there but cannot access. Being away from that but knowing something is missing is extremely painful. You yearn for a community, and a need for a strong community is in Native blood. Dakota makes strong meaningful connections, mimicking what he is missing.

Dakota Native Headcannons-

The first time he sees a powwow he cries (he's just like me fr fr)

His mentor is Native, and lives on his Rez. That's how he found him the first time around, he was on the road, and the only place he knew of that could possibly take him in was an obscure town Aunt Alaska had mentioned once or twice of growing up in. He goes there hoping to find more family, instead he finds his Teacher (Mentor).

(Teacher is from the Eagle clan if you care)

He wakes up in the morning, and sit in the sunrise, and smudges like he was taught by his Mentor.

During the ten-month break he got really close with the community on the Rez, he would often help however he could with his superpowers.

He listens to Native Rap when he works out and Native flute music to calm down.

He connects to Vyncent a lot about tribes and traditons bc that's what Vyncent had in Fauna.

During the ten-month break he learns to powwow dance.

He spouts off old Native teachings like a parrot of what his mentor has told him, sounds really mature, and Vyncent and Will are like... "that was really smart Dakota." And he's like. Idk what it means my Mentor just told me that lmao then he keeps being silly

He get's his hair cut during the ten-month break into a mowhawk :)

(when he wants to grow it out he just buzz cuts it to even it out and he looks slay af with a buzzed head)

When he gets older he's going to get almost full body Native tattoos.

He incorporates beading into his superhero fit

Dakota's Native name is Miskomin-Makoons (Raspberry- Cub)

The Damascus' are from the Bear clan.

"The Bear Clan members were the strong and steady police and legal guardians. Bear Clan members spent a lot of time patrolling the land surrounding the village, and in so doing, they learned which roots, bark, and plants could be used for medicines to treat the ailments of their people."

Dakota's Warrior title is 'Bleeding Heart Warrior'

I'm sure I'll remember more stuff later and I'll kick myself but for now this is what I have. any JRWI Natives want to add feel free to give ur headcannons :)

[clownfire]

i just realised

his name is Dakota.

his hero name is DC.

his aunt's named Alaska.

his mother's name - Cheyenne - is also the capital city of Wyoming.

it's all the names of places in America. but WAIT there's more.

the only break in convention is his family name Damascus, which is considered by many as the oldest still-operating city, and his father Jerimiah (okay idk for this one, all I found was the Abrahamic prophet Jeremiah).

It's a naming tradition that comes from his mother's side im gonna mcfreaking lose it.

@grizzlyplays i need to know WAS THIS INTENTIONAL i am bouncing off the walls

Dakota brain dump incoming!!!!!!

Dakota makes me fucking SAD man!! I think the episode where we go to his aunt's apartment is one of my favorite episodes. It's so fucking real. I'm so attached to him now it's wild. At first I didn't even like Dakota that much tbh. When he returned from the woods I was like ehh that's chill whatever but now I'm like actively having heart palpitations just thinking about him. Dakota Cole? More like Dopamine Cole! I am losing my goddamn mind in this place!!!

I honestly don't know what I'd do if something so bad happened to him that his views would change. He's just so good. He's the epitome of hero. Maybe that's just the wiwi kinnie in me, but Dakota is like. The guy. He just wants to help people and he's so considerate and awesome. Losing it at the fact he gave those young superheroes a talk about staying in school and getting a job.

He's so silly and he makes me laugh. I started watching tmnt because grizzly kept mentioning them in PD episodes and I associate them with Dakota Cole now and I'm better off for it.

He always carries so much weight, and no matter how much he has to carry, he always makes sure that his friends know he's there to help them carry their shit too. The absolute kindness and understanding it would take to walk up to William after the Bell tech stuff and tell him not to fall any further. Even though he was upset with William, he had the emotional intelligence to see William was in no state to handle any of that. It would take so much control and shit to not freak out on somebody for that, but he didn't. He knows Will pretty well too, so he understood William's self destructive tendencies and took those into account. I'm literally rubber rats in a room.

William is a whole other bundle of brain rot. And I don't just mean because he was dead and his organs deteriorated.

When listening to the recent rolled, I was also rolled. Over. By a fucking semi truck. Even the concept of something happening to Dakota's aunt that would push him over the edge and fundamentally change his values makes me want to sob viscerally. I think I'd die if Alaska died. Just implode, really.

Dakota deserves every good thing in the world because he does so much for the world. The fact he trained for so many months to get stronger makes me feral. Like he is sometimes. He just wants to help so badly.

I read an AU where Dakota was a civilian and still went by the last name Damascus and I almost fucking cried. The idea of him not having to change his name to protect his aunt. I'm in shambles. I cant do this.

I just want the best for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHH

Okay so this is a mix of my HCs, HCs I’ve seen somewhere and adopted, and straight up canon lmao.

Dakota Damascus, when he lived with Aunt Alaska, would always keep the space around him clean. He had a specific spot on the couch that was his spot that was spotless. His room was spotless. His spot at the dinner table. His aunts stuff was everywhere, everything from just junk, to her bottles and cigarettes and paraphernalia, to stuff for him, snacks, clothes lots and lots of dirty dishes. She just didn’t go a very good job of cleaning up after herself. It wasn’t her fault. Whenever she saw Dakota trying the clean any of her messes she would start doing it herself to save him the trouble, before giving up again. Eventually Dakota just cleaned up after himself. It was like they shared two parallel spaces within the apartment.

Additionally, Dakota doesn’t have much care for material possessions. Alaska brought him gifts and things, but none of them suited him very well except the comic books. He much preferred when they went out and did things together, like go skydiving or to an amusement park, because it meant a lot more to him that she was happy too and enjoying herself. Something that a “object for him” didn’t guarantee. Actually seeing her smile was worth way more.

Also this one is basically canon, but Dakota was the number one bully control in all of his schools. No anti bullying campaign was as effective as getting the shit beat out of you by Dakota. God forbid he caught you in the act. This got him in a lot of trouble with adults and he got several talking to’s a week. Whenever he told Aunt Alaska the story though she approved and got them ice cream. He was very friendly and made friends quick, but changed schools often and had to leave them before too long.

I’m not 100% sold that Katori just slipped. She said “what if could fly” before it happened. We know she was battling something, whether it was home life stuff or something else entirely. We met her mom, very powerful and exuded perfectionism who seemed to have a lot of expectations for her. After hearing Dakota’s stories about his escapades she joined him in skipping school and climbing around the city. They bonded over their mutual love for super heroes. She called their outings “dates” though Dakota didn’t feel that way, and she may not have either and just wanted to put some kind of importance on their connection -and liked to tease him. Her mother called her Tori, Dakota called her Kat. The possibility that she wanted to someone to remember her in a very specific way before disappearing isn’t lost on me. Now Dakota can’t remember her face. Maybe she wanted to be saved, and maybe she really thought that that fall would finally bring about Dakota’s powers he always said would happen.

In a way it did.

Ironically, for having an artificial heart Dakota’s character is all about the genuine heart, quite literally his heart is too big for his body. He feels too much. This isn’t a new development when he gets the artificial heart nor does it go away after the second transplant, but I find the symbolism so cool. Also his heart literally was going to kill him one day. Just like kindness and empathy so often leads to doom for heroes.

Dakota described himself as really skinny and bony when he was a child. Now especially with the new heart he’s always eating. He said he was physically too weak to pull Kat up. First thing he does out of the hospital is tear himself apart to get stronger. First he runs into the woods because he just can’t take it anymore. He finds people who can make him strong who beat him until the pain is all he can think about and there is nothing more he can do to fix himself. He pushes himself to the very limits and beyond because anything less is not repentance for not being able to do what he needed to do. He cannot accept failure from himself. He does this exact same thing after Ashe is turned. Drops everything. And out of guilt and shame and denial he has to remove himself because in the state he’s in he’s not good enough to be there, he’s not strong enough to deal with it. He’s got to go pay the price for that.

Dakota uses working out as a way to self harm. Training is something that people encourage instead of reproach. Working out, training, it’s always good right? No one worries about it. The pain means you’re growing. His muscles ache and hurt all of the time but he likes it because he knows he’s still moving in the right direction. If it doesn’t hurt he gets restless that he’s wasting time, he must be constantly improving or when he eventually doesn’t measure up it will be his fault. (I could write an entire essay about specifically this but I’ll stop here)

Last thing I’ll mention in this post. Since living with the prime defenders he’s lost the habit of keeping his space neat and tidy. He lets himself relax. He eats as much as he wants because there is no one else who needs the food. He only gives up the mechanical heart because his friends can pick up his supposed slack, and he finally wants to show his younger self that he didn’t need powers to be a hero.

Hi dawn im thinking about dakota cole too hard again and put on the ghostkicks playlist to cope do you have dakota thoughts to share

Hihihihihihihi M!!! Okay so I don’t always like the way tumblr formats answers especially when they get really long and I feel like they get trunkated - so I’m going to reblog this with my answer ^^ thank you for the ask I think about Dakota Cole so much pls help me.

Franny Robinson and Daniel Maitland often cover this song at Dara & Danny shows. When they perform this song they substitute all of the place names in the first verse with places in Alaska, Georgia, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos. And occasionally a couple other places in the song, to celebrate their Alaska Native (Daniel) and Southeast Asian (Franny) heritage, and Georgia, where they met and became best friends in middle school.

They even sing this sing a smidge faster than the Hank Snow recording. Where does Franny even breathe in this song? Who knows.

Franny sings lead on it and Daniel comes in with harmony on some lines.

The first verse is actually more difficult than people think because Franny is pronouncing these city and town names from Khmer, Lao, Vietnamese, and various native Alaskan languages without as much of her natural twang as the English. She isn’t pronouncing them perfectly because doing so does throw off the rhythm some, but she’s consciously pronouncing them close to correctly and rapidly flipping from one language to another.

These are the lyrics Franny and Daniel sing when they do the song:

I was totin' my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road,

When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load. "If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride." And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside. He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand. And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"

I've been everywhere, man. I've been everywhere, man. Crossed the desert's bare, man. I've breathed the mountain air, man. Of travel I've had my share, man. I've been everywhere.

When Star Vs. The Forces of Evil meets Cyberpunk

Summary Overview of Cyberpunk

This is an upcoming fan-fictional story of The Cyberpunk Chronicles: Project Maximus based on Star Vs. The Forces of Evil and Cyberpunk tabletop RPG game created by Mike Pondsmith's vision of a dystopian American future.

This fictional story takes place in an alternate timeline where America was once a great superpower has fallen from grace; leaving millions of Americans to defend themselves. They were either perished during a state of emergency, or were forced to join with a group of tribes calling themselves the Nomads. The rest of the world like China, Japan, and Europe maintain their economic status as they began to thrive for technology and cybernetic augmentations.

The bad news is half of the country became a desolate wasteland due to the lack of resources and decimating towns and cities of what's left of America. The New United States America (NUCA) was established after the collapse; under the dictatorship rule by President Elizabeth Kress. A former military officer who's been serving more than six consecutive terms while the government ignores the president's terms as long as she remains in power. The good news is some states like Alaska, North California, South California, Utah, Nevada, and The Republic of Texas have made a decision to exceed the NUSA to become independent and run their own governed state. In the year 1995, a new civilization has sprung up from America's ashes located in the Northern State of California called "Conorado City," which the city has changed to "Night City" after its predecessor Richard Night was assassinated from his newly constructed penthouse.

His vision was to create Night City into a place of sanctuary and establish law and order to keep people safe; hoping one day that humanity will thrive to rebuild the old world. However his vision was slipped away only to be snatched by a bullet. In the year 2021, Militech and Arasaka have declared war. The war was split into two factions and fought tooth and nail to obtain corporate's assets in order to become the toughest Megacorp in the century. This war has costed millions of lives and the world was ravaged by two powerful megacorporations; tearing the planet itself apart. They began deploying mercenary troops, tanks, aerodyne assault drop ships, armored vehicles, edge runners, and solos who are on the edge of cyberp psychosis. A mental illness caused by too many cybernetic implants after they were driven insane and went on a killing spree, which this mental illness was discovered by it's true nature for someone to loose their sense of human identity and costed their lives to become a psychotic killing machine.

The Fourth Corporate Wars lasted for four years until Night City was decimated by a pocket nuke after the Arasaka twin towers were obliterated. This city has become another bloody chapter of Night City's grim past and costed thousands and thousands of augmented souls. Their human civilization has proved themselves to show pure ignorance for their flaws and failed to repeat the same mistakes. Life goes on.

Decades have passed after The Fourth Corporate Wars, a rockerboy name Marco M. Kojima and his posergang members are trying to survive in a dystopian society of Night City's most dangerous city in America, against corporate cops, booster gangs, cultists, mercenaries, and cyber psychos.

Main Story & Focus on Marco's Posergang

The story focuses on Marco's lifepath before he became a Rockerboy and the events took place in Night City. Marco was adopted by a corpo family living in Tokyo, Japan. They raised him as their son for years until they were eventually murdered by corporate mercenaries. He ended up living in Night City for most of his life, but he also used to be part of a Nomad Clan and Valentino's gang.

He's also the lead singer musician and the leader of a booster gang calling themselves The Sons of Hellfire (Reference tv show of Sons of Anarchy) after performing his first gig at Night City High School. His gang's logo is a demon girl with a shape of a flaming heart that surrounds her (Hekapoo). Her appearance has pale skin (white) with fangs on her teeth and her forearms has spikes and claws on her hands. She has orange pupils and dark yellow sclera eyes, which she also has red hair and wears a fancy dress that matches her eyes. The demon girl also wields a pair of scissors, which Marco has on his possession. Marco's posergang members will cosplay as greasers from an 80s film, which they prefer with hair pomade and apply their hairstyle to pose someone who's famous. Many members will wear leather jackets modified with kevlar armor linen on the interior, and shoulder plates on the exterior, but sometimes they'll have a red collar around the back of the neck which protects them from getting hacked by netrunners. Some of Marco's gang are former booster gangs, solos, techies, Nomads, smugglers, and former corporate mercenaries. His members are consistent at least 30+ members for a relatively small group. Their list of gang activities mostly involves neighborhood watch (guardians), muscle-for-hire, street racing (either on road or off road), burgarly, and game activities (like poker, caravan, dominoes, five finger fillet, and blackjack).

Their headquarters is located somewhere in Night City where they live closer to the combat zone and they usually hangout at a local junkyard at a fancy 80s restaurant called "Johnny Rockets." The owner who runs the bar is Danse and they mostly serve alcohol, soft drinks, and milkshakes. They mostly rely with switchblades and armed with pre-war weapons, sometimes they prefer to carry heavy pistols and assault rifles, or shotguns. Their cyber bikes are customized that represents their gang logo, which they prefer to travel in large packs at least six-12 members and use highways to get around in Night City.

They're currently into conflict with the Malstrom gang since they don't appreciate their hostility for treating one of their members for being an "inferior human" and The Valentino's gang also has beef with Marco. A long time ago, Marco was once an initiate after his roommate Miguel encoueaged him to join their gang. Its not because he was concerned about choosing a side, but he also has a secret crush with Vaggie (Valentine Guerrero) despite she can be "gruff" with the boys sometimes. He stayed with them for over a year until Carlos and his friends caught a teenage straggler named Luke after stealing money from their gang. He handed the pistol to Marco and ordered him to kill Luke. He had two choices: He can become part of a gang member, or be left in the streets to fend for himself. Marco couldn't pull the trigger, but Carlos had no patience for pu#%$#s like him, so he decided to do it for himself. Marco decided to pull the trigger and shot Carlos in the leg. He didn't want to hurt anyone but he didn't want to become a murderer either, so Miguel told him to run and they escape.

The Valentino's gang and The Sons of Hellfire have been tearing each other's throats since day one, but none of them decided to start a gang war. Marco didn't want that, so the two factions mostly settle a dispute with street fights. One day, Marco was in a school cafeteria until he got into someone's face who didn't appreciate showing his face around here. They got into a fight while everyone was chanting the word "fight." When the fight was over. Marco didn't know that was Vaggie's girlfriend and she witnessed what happened. He pleaded Vaggie that it was an "accident" after breaking her friend's ribcage, but her response was "you're done."

Marco's History

Marco has no memory of who he is or where'd he come from. The only few mementos he had on him was two pairs of fancy scissors and an ancient samurai sword after his adopted parents discovered a baby crib sitting outside of their patio front door. Marco's scissors bows had a shape of a hear with a dark-purple color, a golden blade that looks rusted for decades, and the middle of the bolt has a logo of a fireball. The other scissors bows also has a shape of a fireball colored in red, similar to Marco's, the middle of the bolt is also shaded in yellow, and the end of the white blade has a shape of a dagger that looks sheathed.

The samurai sword he had in his possession was made out of copper and steel: On the collar it had holes that look like it had shapes of fins, the guard was a shape of a dragon that spews out a fireball, and the handle was decorated with skulls vertically. Although, the steel blade has been rusted overtime and hasn't been cleaned for ages, which there was no point of attempting to repair it. His father was kind enough to reconstruct his sword from the ground up and hired a blacksmith who knows him well. Marco now carries his father's sword that was recently been melted down from his old samurai sword. The sword itself has a Red, blood-like, Damascus blade with a copper plated collar of a dragon. The handle's linen exterior was black and red; decorated and shape like diamonds with a four-part symbol vertically.

His father decided to give him the name Marco because of the scissors he carried that was rusted has a signature that says "MARCO" engraved on his name, and gave him the middle name "Maximus," which comes from a latin greek name that means "Greatest" or "Largest." His father passed onto his adopted son's last name Kojima, named after his father before him, and the Kojima family has been working for Arasaka since World War II.

Marco's Personality & Estrange Powers

His personality has a combination of Berserk (brave, but emotionless), Nathan Drake (from Uncharted: funny, but can be a sarcastic jerk sometimes), and Ponyboy (The Outsiders: Cares about his friends and his loved ones). He can be a sarcastic jerk sometimes when he greets with his peers, even his sworn enemies. His life caused him to go through a tough depression after losing his adopted parents, but he had someone who gives him love and support. The only thing that fears him the most is his last name. If anyone found out that Marco was raised by a corpo family working for Arasaka. Many of his members and fans will shunned him. He didn't want everyone to know who he is, so he mostly keeps his secrets to himself except his girlfriend. His love of Johnny Silverhand's music inspired him to become part of a rebellion against Arasaka. He utilizes his musical lyrics to voice his anger and manipulates his fans to gain leverage and go against a specific group or person.

During Marco's early childhood, he had some kind of entity living inside of him. Whenever he feels agitated or angry, his orange pupils will glow brighter as a sun and his fangs will pop out from his teeth as a sign of anger. Marco has never lost control of himself since it's common to deal with local street punks and wannabe gangsters. His adopted parents have treated him with love and respect no matter how he looks different than the other humans.

If someone tries to harm him or his friends that puts them in danger. He'll beat them senseless and shows no mercy until they're either knocked out unconscious or they'll loses a tooth with a few broken bones. Many Night City residents and booster gangsters refer to him as: Hell Boy, El Diablo, Lucifer, Morningstar, and Mad Max.

Is SVTFOE a Crossover of Cyberpunk?

Yes, this is part of a fan-fiction story portrayed by some characters featured in Cyberpunk from Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil. There's also going to be some familiar faces added on my story, new enemies, and different scenarios. This story will focus on the main characters, including the gangs of Night City, Nomad Clans, and Megacorporations.

Disclaimer:

I never watched the show of SVTFOE, but I have read some fictional comic books made by independent authors and so as the creators who made this show.

What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is an old-fashioned genre that appeared in the 1950s or 60s by a group of RPG game fanatics who had a vision idea of a dystopian society: The difference between "dystopia" and "dystopian" have two different meanings, but they sound similar. The word "Dystopia" is a place or a community society under a utopia illusion that looks more frightening and unstable ruled by a powerful government or entity; which is inspired by Thomas More published from his book in the 1500s called: Utopia. Another word of "Dystopian" is a prediction that foresees a person's perspective of what our society will look like in the grim future (or The Dark Future).

The word "Cyber" is part of a metal gimmick or amputee of a cybernetic augmentation that's replaced with an artificial limb that looks fake, except it's manufactured by a company who makes them. In the world of cyberpunk, many war veterans have lost their limbs before the collapse. Many Megacorporations have began manufacturing cybernetic limbs that were in high demand, and benefited many disabled people to replace their lost limbs for cybernetics.

However this game didn't featured with interface plugs to connect with computers or machines back then until Mike Pondsmith released his first tabletop game of Cyberpunk 2020 in the late 80s. The word "Punk" is an old fashion style that people will wear flashy weird-looking clothes, leather jackets, metal piercings, crazy hairstyles, colors, boots, chains, and testosterone. Most people will design their own fashion clothing with many, many styles of their own design. When you see a posergang wearing flashy clothes, they'll dressed and match with weird-looking accessories, sometimes you'll noticed their facial and body features will not resemble as human. They can depict someone as a conehead, a furry animal, or a mythical creature.

Cyberpsychosis

In the world of cyberpunk, many solos and booster gangs will upgrade their implants and become superhumans to push their limits in order to survive, or to prove themselves worthy, but due to their mental illness of Cyberpsychosis. Their mental health has slowly deteriorated and became unstable. They will stop their daily routines (like eat, sleep, socialize, sex, or love interest) and become distant with friends and family. Soon, they'll see themselves more like a machine as they loose their human identity. And later afterwards, they'll become aggressive and see humans as "weaker" and "inferior." As a result, their psychotic rampage will caused them to go insane and lost the ability to reason.

Night City has become a dangerous place to live in America for decades, and Cyberpsychosis has become a big problem since the 2000s. Most state-sponsored organizations offer patients for treatment to recover from their mental illness, but it has become increasingly difficult to transfer patients to become a stable human being. The Night City Police Department has created a new division department called: NCPD Psycho Squad or Maximum Force Tactical Division (MAX-TAC). They have the best gear and equipment they need with heavily combats vehicles and AV-9s, with at least six highly trained SWAT members and one Officer in the field, but they sometimes do require to be cybernetically enhanced before deployment. They're mostly referred to as C-SWAT (Cybernetic Special Weapons & Tactical Squad) and are extremely aggressive when dealing with these cyber psycho threats. They will sent C-SWAT to kill or subdue cyber psychos if possible. If a SWAT unit fails, then they'll dispatch MAX-TAC units to take care of it.

What's it like Living in Night City?

Night City was an inspiration to rebuild a utopia city; free from government corruption and lawlessness. Richard Night's goal was to establish an independent City where everyone can live freely, but he was mysteriously murdered by a monster family. Megacorporations and private military like Militech and Arasaka have taken Richard Night's place and began expanding their business across Night City districts. The Night City Police Department is established and are divided into seven divisions, which they're privately funded by Megacorporations and are sent to patrol in each district zone "only to the highest bidder."

Although, some district zones where there's constant battles between factions and are crawling with booster gangs, cultist maniacs, cyber psychos, and street scum are called "Combat Zones." A combat zone is part of Night City's district located at the Pacifica district sector. Combat zones is a lawless place and are a no go. Law enforcement is limited or non-existent, and no emergency services to call for help. Traveling through the combat zone is not recommended and are controlled by a heavily armed booster gang running the district. If you happen to live near the combat zone where it's close to home. Many corporate cops and business executives tend to avoid that area and would not risk collecting tax money from residents who reside there. Sometimes booster gangsters will offer protection money for landlords and neighborhood tenants in case if there's trouble on the homefront. Some sponsored programs do offer licensing to work as police freelancers, neighborhood watchers, and bodyguards. Although there are some limitations to use some utilization of authority.

Night City's life of crime has two working class citizens: You have the higher-class rich family living in high-end corporate zones with corporate security and private militia, and you have the lower-class losers living in low-end district slums surrounded by booster gangs and violent crime in the streets. The middle-class is non-existent in Night City. It's not everyone's favorite choice, but people have decided live in those city slums these days. It's also a common routine for Night City resident to carry with weapons and firearms, and sometimes they'll modify their clothing to add kevlar and armor plates for body protection. Some cybernetic augs will also have implants to carry their weapon concealed like the mantis blades or a plasma cannon. The problem with Night City's lack of infrastructure and protection for their citizens only cared about "corporate interests" and can care less about their citizens unless their corporate business puts them on jeopardy. They're equally as evil and corrupt compare to some business executives.

Is This Story Starco related?

Actually, no. This story is related to a Markapoo timeline when Hekapoo falls in love with Marco. I read one of the creator's fan-fiction comic books from his patreon page (Zaicomaster14) and was interested about their love story. Marco is a reincarnation of Hekapoo, but his powers are limited in an alternate timeline because of his human form.

What Inspired You to Create a Fictional Story of Cyberpunk?

I first watch the trailer of Cyberpunk 2077's E3 trailer back in 2013 when they featured a video by CDProjekt Red. They're a small conservative polish company located in Europe and they're a big fan of Mike Pondsmith's work, so they offer him to turn his life's work into a video game that inspires people who play RPG games.

I have watched films that are based on science fiction and fantasy, and I have read a few books like Altered Life. If you have watched the movie Blade Runner and Altered Carbon (Netflix Series) that's based on cyberpunk. You'll get a clear painting picture of Night City's dystopian society where violence and oppression are the norm. A city being controlled by a powerful government or megacorporation that shares a common goal only for themselves, but not for the people who want a brighter future.
