#but i hope you enjoy the lore dump for both of the lads! ;;

[kharonion]

🚓🎤🥢for both boys respectively? :3

core meme-ories | oc list [note: these are for the Cyberpunk 2077 blorbos]

🚓- River Ward

• VIKT — They meet each other after Vikt's retired from mercenary work, which at least means not having Johnny there hounding about "working with a cop". Helping River find Randy comes as just another gig—albeit one of the most fucked up he's done. Dinner with the family afterward is entirely different. It's the first time Vikt has any real interaction with children, which goes much better than he expects.

"Hey, V?" "Yeah?" "Did you let us win?" "Nope. You two are just that good."

River is also one of the very few who can get Vikt to let loose a little bit; them getting wasted up on the water tower and laughing about dumbass constellations they think exist is some of the most fun Vikt has (aside from the next morning, anyway).

• SÖREN — So, these two go back a bit. Ever the trouble making misfit, Sören got snagged by the badges so many times... and sometimes, that badge was River—who would grow tired of being called to Heywood for "a red-eyed hoodlum". Though eventually, the calls stopped, and it would be a handful of years before they meet again.

"Wait... Nightowl?" "Y'never did like calling me by my actual name." "Ah. You're the same as ever, punk." "Ditto that, snoopy."

They hang out a lot together after that. Which neither really expect. After all, what could a lawbreaker and a lawman possibly have in common... right? But, they end up growing close, realizing their paths are strikingly similar... and here, they cross yet again. Eventually, Sören convinces River to leave with him and the Aldecaldos. Leave Night City behind, hunt for something better and brighter—so long as they do it together.

🎤- Kerry Eurodyne

• VIKT — The first Vikt hears and sees Kerry proper (not counting the memories of Johnny he relives during the brain wreck caused by being dead) is laid out on a fancy sofa with a throbbing migraine, an expensive blanket draped over him, and the bright blue eyes of a rockerboy looking down at him with worry.

"Hey, hey, you okay?" "... No..." "That's alright. Just stay tight for a bit. Rest. Don't worry about a thing." "I— Thank you..." "You're... you're welcome. Now, quit stalling. Sleep."

From there, the two are unknowingly latched at the hip. Vikt helps with Kerry's problems, and Kerry provides the privacy of the villa when Vikt needs time out of the city. It's inevitable that their bond blossoms into more. The night on the rooftop of Dark Matter seals the deal, and their excursion on the yacht tells them it is the right call.

• SÖREN — The most interaction Sören has had with Kerry is going to one of his shows with River. They splurged, got the VIP treatment and everything. Met the legend face-to-face—a dream Sören's had for years.

"Holy shit, are you the Kerry Eurodyne? Really?!" "One and only." "Here, I have a gift for ya!" "Fuck, is that... where did you find police-grade 'nades?" "A man never tells. Now, I'm gonna hug you. Okay? Okay."

Needless to say, River is more than unimpressed.

🥢- Jackie Welles

• VIKT — Throughout his grueling years in Arasaka, Vikt ran things solo; at least, until a particular task fell into his lap. Putting a hit on an entire cartel that threatened Arasaka's infrastructure. It was too big of a job for one man, so Vikt took a risk to hire the help of another: the Valentinos. Specifically, a small group led by Jackie.

And, of course, there had to be a hitch. It ended up being a trap. Vikt had to defend himself, murder one of the most prolific cartels of Mexico—and unfortunately, most of the Valentinos alongside him didn't take kindly to that.

All who were left standing in the end were Vikt... and Jackie.

"So? Going to make this quick?" "Nah. There's... been too much death." "What's one more, hm?" "Listen. I don't want this... and neither do you. Consider me... an amigo, and none of this shit will see the light of day." "And why would you offer that?" "Call me inocente if you want. Just... got a feelin' I want you by my side." "Might be a mistake." "Might be."

From then on, Jackie is Vikt's one and only trusted confidant, and he ended up being the pillar that keeps Vikt standing after his life crumbles down to nothing.

• SÖREN — Sören was adopted into the Valentinos as a toddler, rescued from the gutters by Padre. He immediately latched onto Jackie as an older brother figure, and they were an inseparable duo of chaos. Jobs for the gang were a joint effort... except when Jackie was hired to help with the heist of a lifetime.

"Búho?" "What?" "I know you're upset, but... I need to know you'll be here when I get back." "I... I always will be, Jack. I ain't going anywhere. You're my family." "I love ya, hermano." "Don't say that like you won't return, you fuck..." "Oh, come on, don't—" "I love you, too."

It goes without saying that Sören is devastated seeing Jackie's body in the Delamain car. Like his heart has been ripped from his chest. And all he can still think about when he thinks of the man he calls his brother is that fateful day.

Please, please tell me more about your demon oc, I love them and their chaotic energy so much 💚

Aaaa oh my,,, first of all- thank you?? Second- oh geez they are gonna be a mess to talk about;; especially when a lot of the info is bound to either other characters or my own lore- Weeeelp- here goes nothing!

-They are part of a group of 7 “demons” total and they are one of the most fleshed out among that group of ocs of mine. (Note: all of them have either mixed or completely neutral pronouns- in Aidivni’s case they are they/him)

-He is an Envy demon, a category of demon who is allured/especially fixated onto who suffers from that particular vice. -Demons in general cannot lie- only angels can- so Aidivni himself cannot say anything but the truth. This led him to choose.. less diplomatic routes when dealing with mortal preys, not that he isn’t good with words- he just loses his patience and gets bored quite quickly. -Their clothes are an extension of their body. This means that they can move and extend their ribbon like an another set of tiny arms (making them have a total of 6 limbs). This also means that they can manifest any garments on themselves- except metals (The reason they pin their “skin”, they cannot make hard buttons.) -They enjoy elegant yet eccentric styles when it comes to fashion and they often get artsy with the shapes of their clothing.

- His movements are mostly snappy and sudden, he seems to have problems staying in one position for too long- usually either circling around who he is talking with or simply floating/pacing all around the place. -He is TALL- an average human would come up to only under his chest. He is only the third/fourth tallest among the other demons though. -They’re absolutely unable to feel shame and they also have no idea of what personal space is. They are able to feel remorse for certain actions though, but they will not show it.

-They enjoy and are fascinated by pain- in any of its forms (Physical/emotional, inflicting/receiving). It’s a trait I choose to give them following the idea that envy hurts both the person who experiences it and who is around them- but also because of the “I want to feel/have it too- no matter what it is” thought process.

-He may like the look of scars onto his body, but if someone dares to touch his face/mask things are gonna go grim real quick. He always keeps it in pristine conditions. -He loooooves the taste of Soul Flowers (the flower like “scar” tissue the soul creates to mend itself), a delicacy among demons.

-He has two bladed weapons, a pair of huge scissors and a machete. The machete is to... well- “create and opening” for the soul to exit and the scissors are to either harvest Soul Flowers or to severe the bond with the body- so that he can take it (Explaining why and for what they are used would be a whole tangent so I better not start dhsgdh). His nails are also weapon worthy- but he only uses them to mark his targets/preys, it’s like a sort of bond.

-Besides all of their demon shenanigans and behaviours though- they are quite the awkward and chaotic type when they have to act “natural” when out in the mortal world. Stript them of their thirst for pain and the whole souls stuff and they’re quite the goofy jerk kind of lad who just runs their mouth a whole LOT-

-His latest marked target is Gabriele 

(This other mask object head right up here-) But- their relationship slowly became a bit more complicated than that. Don’t want to say too much about that yet though eh oh;;;

-They had a one sided affair with a Pride demon (the second most fleshed out among the demons)- that ended on quite rough terms. (gosh this sounds like me gossiping lmao)

Some more light hearted things... mhh-

-They have an interest in bugs, especially mantids and beetles. They feel connected to them, so much so they sometimes base their wardrobe on their designs.

-Demons aren’t picky when it comes to food and they also don’t distinguish between edible and inedible. What I’m going at is that- food wise- they’d be the type to eat the teabag and throw away the tea.

-If they are worried to hurt someone they do NOT want hurt, they will use their ribbon/tiny arms to hug them instead of their clawed hands.

-The highest form of trust he can show is letting someone touch his face.

Mhhh- think I info dumped enough? Nothing else comes to my mind rn ahah;;

Hope ya still like ‘em even after all this mess dsgshdgs
