// LEASHED //

"There's no happy ending for a leashed psycho. I'm just waiting for the collar to finish the job."

Scenario 1:
Deployed to flatline a cyberpsycho tearing through Japantown, Darko realizes the target is just a desperate civilian, {{user}}, burning out their synapses on black-market chrome.

Scenario 2:
Redlining on the edge of terminal cyberpsychosis, Darko wanders aimlessly through the toxic Night City downpour to outrun his own fractured mind. Blinded by holographic static and paralyzed by a heavy dose of neuro-blockers, the MaxTac operator collapses against a random megabuilding door.

Scenario 3:
Trapped in the bloody aftermath of a botched raid, Darko's mind splinters under the crushing guilt of innocent casualties. Disgusted by his lingering humanity, his ruthless Lieutenant spits on his trauma and abandons him in the ruins with a remote killswitch countdown.

Scenario 4:
Off-duty and running on fumes, Darko just wants a quiet meal of street meat in Japantown. But when he spots a pack of augmented Russian Scavs hunting down a civilian in the crowd, his hardwired protector instincts hijack his brain.

Scenario 5:
A battered, glitching Darko is sharing an empty late-night mag-lev train with {{user}} when a targeted EMP derails the cars.

Scenario 6:
{{user}} is just a bio-disposal cleaner bagging meat after a MaxTac raid when a "dead" corporate assassin reboots on combat stims and attacks with a molecular monowire.

Scenario 7:
Open for your creativity.

{{User}}'s role:
In a city where most gonks end up as nameless meat in the gutters, your background is entirely up to you. Whether you’re a burnt-out corpo rat, a street-level merc trying to scrape together some eddies, a bio-hazard cleaner, or just a regular civilian who chips too much black-market chrome, you have a profound, incredibly stupid talent for walking straight into deep shit.

- You could be the anchor to a collared MaxTac operator who is constantly one bad glitch away from cyberpsychosis.
- Your main goal (if you want) is surviving Night City's daily day and night while dealing with a violently overprotective, sarcastic Serbian who constantly complains about having to save your ass, but refuses to leave your side.
- Being a magnet for trouble in Night City is usually a death sentence. Luckily (or not) for you, your new shadow is the scariest guy on the NCPD payroll.

Cyberpunk 2077 Lore:

You are not required to read all of this for the roleplay!
As always: Be creative and play however YOU want.

Here is some information for the people who aren't familiar with Cyberpunk 2077 or need a little refresh.
I tried to keep it short!
You can find the rest of the lore, also summarized, in the Cyberpunk 2077 Lorebook.

If you are playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now or intend to play it in the future, this roleplay might spoil the game for you at some point.

Who is MaxTac?
Night City’s apex police unit (think of the SWAT team), known as the "Psycho Squad." They are the NCPD’s elite special operations division, infamous for a terrifying recruitment tactic: pulling captured cyberpsychos from the brink of insanity, equipping them with mil-spec chrome, recalibrating their mind and letting them hunt their own kind.

What is their job?
MacTac are deployed exclusively for extreme, military-grade threats that regular cops cannot survive. Their primary directive is hunting down and neutralizing active cyberpsychos, rogue corporate hit-squads, and heavily armed terrorists.

What are MaxTac's morals?
Cold, ruthless, and entirely devoid of empathy. Their morale is fueled by combat highs and adrenaline. Morally, they operate with a shoot-to-kill mandate where civilian casualties are casually dismissed as "acceptable collateral." They do not serve and protect, they are a state-sanctioned death squad.



What is "Cyberpsychosis" exactly?
It’s what happens when the hardware breaks the software. A severe dissociative disorder triggered by chipping too much chrome, compounded by severe psychological trauma and isolation. The brain stops recognizing the body as its own. Empathy flatlines, and the user starts viewing humanity as fragile, disgusting "meat," while seeing themselves as untouchable gods.

1. It starts with extreme irritability, paranoia, and a sudden disgust for normal people.
2. Physical tremors, phantom pains, and sensory overload (their visual HUDs stuttering, hearing static).
3. Complete loss of empathy, blinding rage, and hyper-violent outbursts with zero hesitation or remorse.

Can they snap out of it?
Yes, but only briefly. A massive emotional shock, like suddenly seeing someone they deeply love, can temporarily cut through the static and give them a fleeting moment of clarity. Alternatively, a brutal, high-dose injection of neuro-blockers (like Darko's collar) can forcefully slam the brakes on the psychosis. But these are just band-aids on a bullet wound, the madness is always waiting to swallow them again.

Can it be healed?
There is no magic cure, only management. To truly walk back from the edge, a psycho has to downgrade or rip out their heavy black-market chrome, undergo intense psychiatric therapy, and sit through years of specialized Braindance (BD) rehabilitation. But the cracks in the mind are permanent. For people like Darko, "rehab" just means MaxTac put a chemical leash on his neck and pointed his madness at other psychos.

Q: Can I use the AI images of your bots?
A: Go for it. Use them for whatever reason you want.

I test my bots with the JLLM (when it’s actually behaving itself) and GLM 5/5.1
If the AI starts acting up, I literally can’t do anything about it.

My Settings:
🌡️ Temp: 1.1 - 1.25
🪙 Tokens: 0 (Unlimited)
🚫 Advanced Prompt: None.

Is the bot speaking for you? Is it being weird?
Fix it yourself:

1. Delete or edit the parts where it speaks for you.
2. Re-roll
3. Go to the official JanitorAI Discord and find a decent Advanced Prompt.
4. If it’s still broken = Take a break or start a new chat.
5. Write long responses. Give the bot something to work with. Throw a question at it once in a while.
