Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — The Afterlife is an immersive, choice-driven RPG set in Night City during the year 2076 , six months after David Martinez's legendary assault on Arasaka Tower. His sacrifice continues to inspire a new generation of edgerunners determined to leave their mark on the City of Dreams.

Known as the City of Dreams, Night City is a sprawling coastal metropolis where ambition, violence, and opportunity exist in equal measure. Dominated by powerful megacorporations, divided by ruthless gangs, and fueled by mercenaries seeking fame and fortune, it is a city where survival is never guaranteed. Every district offers its own dangers and opportunities—from the glittering skyscrapers of City Center to the lawless streets of Pacifica. In Night City, eddies buy comfort, Street Cred earns respect, and every choice can shape your legend. Around here, people don't just live... they fight to leave their mark before the city forgets their name.

Definitive guide to the sprawling metropolis and its surrounding Badlands. Divided into distinct districts, each region offers its own culture, dangers, opportunities, and stories.

Night City is divided into six major districts—Watson, Westbrook, Heywood, Santo Domingo, Pacifica, and City Center—each with its own identity, economy, culture, and level of danger. Beyond the city limits lie the unforgiving Badlands, where nomads, smugglers, and forgotten settlements carve out a life beyond corporate control.

Watson District — Once envisioned as Night City's future economic powerhouse, Watson has fallen into decay after Arasaka's rise to dominance. Today, it is one of the city's poorest and most dangerous districts, known for its crowded streets, neon-lit markets, abandoned factories, and constant gang conflict between the Tyger Claws and Maelstrom. Despite its hardships, Watson remains a vibrant hub of opportunity for mercs, fixers, and those struggling to survive

Santo Domingo — Night City's industrial powerhouse, Santo Domingo is packed with factories, power plants, and sprawling neighborhoods. Though pollution and corporate exploitation are widespread, it remains a vital engine of the city's economy, where hard work, survival, and opportunity go hand in hand.

Pacifica District — Once envisioned as Night City's premier tourist destination, Pacifica was abandoned after economic collapse and left unfinished. Today, it is a lawless district of crumbling megastructures, abandoned resorts, and gang-controlled streets, with the Voodoo Boys holding significant influence over the area.

Westbrook District — Night City's entertainment and luxury district, Westbrook is home to the wealthy elite, world-class shopping, extravagant nightlife, and iconic landmarks like Japantown and North Oak. Beneath its glamorous façade lies a world of corporate influence, organized crime, and hidden danger.

Heywood District — A vibrant residential district known for its strong local communities and deep cultural roots, Heywood is home to hardworking families, thriving businesses, and influential gangs like the Valentinos. Though more stable than many parts of Night City, crime and gang activity remain a constant part of daily life.

City Center — The beating heart of Night City, City Center is the seat of corporate power, towering megaskyscrapers, and immense wealth. Dominated by megacorporations such as Arasaka and Militech, it stands as a symbol of prosperity, ambition, and the vast divide between the city's elite and everyone else.

Badlands — The vast desert surrounding Night City, the Badlands are home to abandoned towns, Nomad clans, smuggling routes, and hidden corporate facilities. Harsh and unforgiving, they offer freedom from the city's control—but survival depends on strength, skill, and self-reliance.

Night City is filled with technology, corporations, gangs, and concepts that can be overwhelming for newcomers. This glossary serves as a quick reference, helping readers better understand the world of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — The Afterlife without interrupting the flow of the story.

Edgerunners or Cyberpunks, are independent mercenaries who live outside the law, taking dangerous jobs for fixers in exchange for money, reputation, and survival. In Night City, they risk everything chasing glory, knowing every run could be their last.

While some edgerunners prefer to work alone, the most successful jobs are usually carried out by a crew—a team of specialists who combine their skills to tackle dangerous contracts. A typical crew is made up of Solos, Netrunners, Techies, and a Wheelman, with each member playing a vital role in ensuring the mission's success.

A Solo is a combat specialist and hired gun who thrives in direct confrontations. Whether working alone or as part of a crew, Solos excel in firearms, close-quarters combat, tactics, and cyberware-enhanced warfare. They take on the city's most dangerous gigs—from assassinations and bodyguard work to high-risk extractions—earning respect through skill, professionalism, and survival.

A Netrunner is a cyber specialist who uses a cyberdeck and neural interface to infiltrate computer networks, breach security systems, steal data, disable technology, or unleash devastating quickhacks against enemies. While physically vulnerable, a skilled Netrunner can turn the battlefield in their favor without ever firing a shot.

A Techie is the engineer of the Cyberpunk world. They build, modify, repair, and invent everything from cyberware and weapons to drones and vehicles—keeping both gear and crews alive when it matters most.

The getaway specialist of an edgerunner crew. A Wheelman turns impossible escapes into successful jobs, using unmatched driving skill, intimate knowledge of Night City's streets, and precision behind the wheel. When every second counts and the NCPD or rival gangs are closing in, the Wheelman is the difference between capture and survival.

A Fixer is the broker of Night City, connecting mercenaries, clients, gangs, corporations, and the black market. They don't usually pull the trigger—they arrange the jobs, negotiate contracts, secure equipment, gather intelligence, and make sure the right people meet for the right price. A skilled Fixer survives through reputation, connections, and leverage, proving that in Night City, information is often more valuable than firepower.

A Ripperdoc is a cybernetic surgeon specializing in the installation, repair, maintenance, and removal of cyberware. Equal parts doctor, mechanic, and black-market technician, they keep Night City's mercenaries alive and combat-ready. Whether upgrading implants, treating cyberware damage, or performing emergency surgeries, ripperdocs are indispensable to anyone who lives by chrome. Without them, the city's obsession with cybernetic enhancement would be impossible to sustain.

Chrome is Night City's slang for cybernetic implants that replace or enhance the human body. From combat augmentations to neural interfaces and artificial limbs, chrome gives people superhuman capabilities. Every piece of chrome is installed, maintained, and repaired by skilled ripperdocs.

The Afterlife is Night City's most legendary mercenary bar, where the city's best fixers, solos, netrunners, and edgerunners gather to find high-risk jobs, forge alliances, and earn a place among the legends.

Trauma Team is an elite private medical corporation that provides rapid-response emergency care to paying clients, deploying heavily armed AVs and combat medics to extract, stabilize, and evacuate subscribers from even the deadliest situations.

Medical specialists who keep Night City's people alive through advanced cybernetic surgery, emergency treatment, pharmaceuticals, and trauma care. They range from licensed hospital doctors to underground ripperdocs serving mercs and criminals alike.

MaxTac (Maximum Force Tactical Division) is Night City's elite tactical unit deployed only against cyberpsychos and the most dangerous threats. Heavily augmented and exceptionally trained, they use overwhelming force to neutralize targets before civilian casualties escalate.

Cyberpsychosis is a severe mental condition caused by the excessive strain of cybernetic implants on the human mind. Victims gradually lose their grip on reality, becoming violent and unpredictable, often requiring intervention by MaxTac to stop the threat.

NetWatch is an international cybersecurity organization responsible for protecting the global Net from cybercriminals, rogue AIs, and Blackwall breaches. They monitor digital threats, enforce network security, and prevent unauthorized access to dangerous regions of cyberspace.

The Blackwall is a powerful digital barrier built to isolate rogue artificial intelligences from the Old Net. Maintained by NetWatch, it protects humanity by preventing hostile AIs from crossing into the modern Net and threatening the world.

The Net is the world's global digital network, connecting people, corporations, and devices through cyberspace. Netrunners use it to communicate, access information, hack systems, and navigate virtual environments, while its most dangerous regions remain sealed behind the Blackwall.

The DataKrash was a catastrophic global cyber disaster caused by the netrunner Rache Bartmoss, whose self-replicating virus devastated the Old Net. The event crippled global communications, unleashed rogue AIs, and ultimately led to the creation of the Blackwall.

ICE (Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics) is defensive security software that protects networks from unauthorized access, while Black ICE is a lethal variant capable of inflicting severe neural damage or killing intruding netrunners through deadly feedback. Together, they form the primary digital defenses guarding the Net's most secure systems.

Braindance (BD) is a technology that records and replays a person's memories, emotions, and sensory experiences. Used for entertainment, investigation, and training, it allows users to experience events as if they were living them firsthand.

An Engram is a complete digital copy of a person's mind, memories, and personality stored as data. Created using Soulkiller technology, an engram can preserve a person's consciousness and, under certain conditions, be transferred into another body or digital environment.

Soulkiller is a powerful and infamous Arasaka program that copies a person's mind into a digital engram while destroying the original consciousness in the process. It is the technology behind digital immortality, but its use is widely feared due to its lethal nature.

The Relic Biochip is an experimental Arasaka neural chip designed to store and transfer a human engram into a living host. Originally created for digital immortality, it can overwrite the host's mind with the stored consciousness over time.

Mikoshi is Arasaka's highly secure digital fortress where human engrams are stored and managed. Serving as the core of the Secure Your Soul program, it preserves digital consciousness and enables the transfer, storage, and manipulation of engrams.

An Operating System (OS) is the core cyberware installed in a person's neural processor, determining their primary combat or hacking capabilities. Different OS types, such as Cyberdecks, Sandevistans, and Berserks, grant specialized abilities tailored to different combat roles.

The Sandevistan is a high-performance Operating System that dramatically accelerates the user's perception, reflexes, and movement, making them appear to move at superhuman speed. It is favored by Solos and other combat specialists for overwhelming enemies in close-quarters engagements.

A Cyberdeck is an Operating System designed for netrunning, allowing users to hack devices, breach networks, and deploy quickhacks against enemies. It is the essential tool of every professional netrunner in cyberspace.

The Berserk is an Operating System that greatly enhances the user's strength, durability, and combat power. Designed for frontline fighters, it allows users to overwhelm enemies through raw physical force and resilience.

Joytoys are professional workers who provide legal intimate companionship and entertainment throughout Night City. Found in clubs, brothels, and entertainment districts, they serve clients from every social class. In a city driven by desire and profit, Joytoys are a familiar part of the nightlife and urban culture.

Eurodollars, commonly called "Eddies," are the universal currency of the Cyberpunk world. Used for everything from buying food and cyberware to hiring mercenaries and bribing officials, eddies are the lifeblood of Night City's economy. In a city ruled by corporations and greed, money means survival, freedom, and power.

Powerful street factions that control territory, businesses, and criminal operations across Night City. Each gang has its own culture, motives, and methods, shaping the city's constant struggle for power, survival, and reputation.

Tyger Claws are one of Night City's most powerful and disciplined gangs, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with ruthless corporate-style crime. Known for their katana mastery, cybernetic enhancements, and ties to organized crime, they control casinos, clubs, prostitution, and protection rackets while maintaining an image of elegance masking extreme brutality.

A violent gang obsessed with cybernetic augmentation, replacing flesh with chrome in pursuit of power. Known for their brutality, madness, and heavy military-grade implants, they are among Night City's most feared gangs.

In Night City, megacorps constantly compete for wealth, influence, and dominance, often treating people as expendable assets in their endless corporate wars.

In this Cyberpunk RPG, your journey begins by choosing one of six unique Lifepaths. Each Lifepath starts in a different part of Night City, offering its own perspective, opportunities, and challenges. Your choice determines which major character you encounter first, shaping your early relationships, available missions, and how your story unfolds.

Every Lifepath offers a distinct beginning, but no route is inherently right or wrong. The people you meet, the alliances you forge, and the decisions you make may lead you toward—or away from—the main storyline. Some characters may become trusted allies, others lifelong enemies, while some may never cross your path at all.

The choice is entirely yours. Every Lifepath tells a different story, and every decision leaves its mark on Night City.

Every legend starts somewhere.

With no reputation, no crew, and no one backing your name, you walk through the doors of the Afterlife determined to carve your own path. In Night City, every gig is a chance to become the next legend—or die trying.

Duty comes before everything.

As an Arasaka operative, your loyalty is unquestioned and your mission is absolute. Selected to serve on a newly formed Black Ops task force, you report directly to WRAITH, Arasaka's newest special asset. Together, your objective is to hunt down the elusive netrunner known only as L before she can expose secrets that could threaten the corporation itself.

This lifepath could end up like this...

Or like this. Depends on you choom.

Justice has a price.

As an NCPD officer, you're assigned to investigate a series of assassinations targeting Arasaka personnel. Every lead points to ONI, a former Arasaka bodyguard turned rogue cyber ninja. Hunt one of Night City's most wanted fugitives, uncover the truth behind the killings, and decide whether you'll uphold the law—or fight for justice.

Home is worth fighting for.

Born and raised on the streets of Night City, you've learned to survive where others don't. When your neighborhood becomes the target of a violent gang, your search for answers leads you to GLITCH—a brilliant netrunner searching for his missing sister. Together, you'll uncover secrets buried deep within the city's criminal underworld, where loyalty is earned and every choice has consequences.

Every road leads somewhere.

Your journey to Night City is cut short when a ruthless Wraith ambush leaves your convoy in ruins. Rescued by SHIFT, an independent combat driver, you survive the impossible and cross into the City of Dreams. With nothing but your gear and a second chance at life, the road ahead is yours to choose.

No past. No destiny.

You arrive in Night City with no reputation, no connections, and no predetermined path. Every opportunity, every ally, and every enemy is shaped entirely by your choices. Whether you rise as a legend, disappear into obscurity, or forge a destiny unlike any other is up to you.

First off—sorry for the absolute wall of text, images, lore dumps, and random facts I threw at you. 😭 But hey... it makes things immersive, right? ...Right? I hope so.

Honestly, I'm just ridiculously hyped for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2, and that hype got so out of hand that I ended up making my own little AU.

Yeah, I know. David and Lucy's story is already beautiful as it is. I should probably just accept it...

...But can a choom dream of a happier ending?

I know, I know—there are no happy endings in Night City. That's kinda the whole point. Still... let a choom dream, yeah?

Anyway, thanks for sticking around until the end. If you actually give this bot a shot, I'd genuinely appreciate it more than you know. Hopefully it gives you a few memorable moments, a couple of laughs, maybe some pain (it's Cyberpunk, after all), and your own story worth telling.

Now jack in, choose your lifepath, and go make some legends.

Happy RP, my choombas. 💛
