Day 1 - Hard Reset
Taken for #VWeek2077 on Tumblr. Leena might not be a V, but her start to becoming a merc in 2045 was /rough/.

A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A light skinned woman crouches at the corner of a building, looking towards the viewer with concern. She has shaggy shoulder-length pink hair and wears a white tank top and brown trousers. Both she and her clothes are stained with dirt at blood. In the distance, fires and black smoke blot out the scenery. A subtitle appears at the bottom of the image, as though it were a cutscene from the game. The text reads: Leena: Don't worry, Mara. I'll get you out of here.

Happy 5th birthday #Cyberpunk2077! A game I have now sunk 1050+ hours into and loved every minute of.
How it started in 2020, to a sample of where we're at in 2025, VP-wise.
A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young fair skinned woman stands on a futuristic street corner beside a black and yellow motorcycle and carrying a baseball bat. She rests the bat on her right shoulder. She wears gold metallic pants, a cropped grey and orange jacket over a sparkly gold bustier top, a black beanie with a wide sparkly gold brim and pink tinted sunglasses. She has dark lipstick on and stares off-camera towards the ground with a slight smile. A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A light skinned young woman with long dark hair cut in a side shave stands in profile in front of a dark cityscape, only faintly visible lights from a building behind her shining. She wears a black top with a mock turtleneck collar and faint black camouflage pattern. In her left hand she holds a sleek, large combat knife. She looks towards the knife with a narrowed gaze and lips parted. A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young light skinned man stands in a blue and purple futuristic club (Lizzies). He wears a dark tank top and a black with purple plaid sleeveless vest over top. Both his arms and neck are covered in black tattoos. He wears clear black framed glasses and holds his hands in front of him, showing off a pair of purple skeleton gauntlet-style jewellery, along with a black chain bracelet on his right wrist. He has black nail polish on. His hair is cut in a short shag and dyed purple. Notably, he has a septum piercing, ear piercings, and snake bite piercings, as well as 8 of his teeth being metallic fangs. He looks at the viewer with a somewhat cheeky and fierce expression and notably, his eyes are black sclera with a glowing purple iris. A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young light skinned woman stands on a balcony overlooking a cliff and in the far distance, a city and beyond that, mountains. There is some desert greenery behind her. She wears a bandeau bra top in pastel pink with blue denim shorts. She also has on a long gold necklace, a shorter and thicker gold chain necklace, some rings, and a pair of funky white-frame flower sunglasses sit atop her head. She has bright pink hair cut in a bob with bangs, and looks to the photo's right with a smile. Her pose is a bit shy, holding her right arm behind her back and grabbing her left arm with it.

Also because it's funny to me: Vasa is SOOOOO good at sweeping floors. But if anyone ever releases a 'cleaning your house' pose pack, let me know. #Cyberpunk2077 #Cyberpunk2077Photomode #CyberpunkVP #VirtualPhotography #NCitizens
A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young man stands in a hallway [at Lizzies], cast in a pink light. He has purple hair cut in a side shave, with the longer portion swept towards his right. He wears a black t-shirt, black joggers with white stripes down the leg, and black and white sneakers. He swings a broom wide, absolutely doing the worst sweeping anyone has ever seen while looking extremely done. To his left are glowing advertisements for car loans and concerts. Behind him are pink neon lights on a wall covered in a paisley pattern wallpaper. Far distant down the hall are two Mox members.

I went a little meta because I never lock in a game protag the way I lock in my OCs. So, here's what Austen and Vasa would be if they were starting 'lifepaths' in Cyberpunk!

A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young light skinned woman sits in a chair at a conference table. She has dark hair, parted in the middle and wears a skirt suit in black with white accents and dark red sleeves. She leans in her chair, one elbow resting on the armrest and looks at the camera with an expression of bored disdain. To her left, the corner of a laptop along with another seated coworker can be seen. To her right, a man wearing a red-on-red pinstripe suit stands with an arm crossed. In front of her on the table are a document folder, pen, and highlighter. A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young man stands in a hallway [at Lizzies], cast in a pink light. He has purple hair cut in a side shave, with the longer portion swept towards his right. He wears a black t-shirt, has a geometric blackwork neck tattoo, and multiple facial piercings. Somewhat hidden due to the lighting is a healing black eye on his left side. He stares disdainfully at the handle of a broom (which has a yellow and black striped grip at the top of the handle). Behind him are glowing advertisements for car loans and concerts.

Vasa and Vikki are both fairly accurate to the VP I do. Austen, however? Her initial aura is far less 'aloof punk' and more like this. It's as much cultivated as a survival tactic. The corpo's disowned daughter had to grow real teeth real fast to survive the NC streets.
A digital sketch artwork depicts a light skinned woman standing in an alley. She has long dark hair that hangs loose and looks slightly messy. She wears black cargo pants and a sheer high-cut red bodysuit, under which a solid bra top can be seen. Draped over her left shoulder is a black jacket. In her right hand she holds an axe, the head of which is resting on her right shoulder, blade up. Her nails are painted red and manicured into a long, sharp stiletto shape. She wears deep red lipstick and has obvious dark circles under her eyes, contributing to an aura of a somewhat off-putting, fierce energy, like she absolutely will use her axe to do harm. Commissioned artwork by Hotwe. If you put this in the AI slop machine I pray you loose your keys, stub your toes, and keep forgetting why you went into a room forever more, amen.

A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A fair skinned woman sits on a concrete planter outdoors in a city. Her hair is cut in a bob and dyed pink. She wears a white mock-turtleneck top with baby blue cartoon lightning bolt print, light blue denim shorts, a pair of white frame heart-shaped sunglasses and chunky white slip on boots. She looks over her sunglasses towards the camera with a playful expression. Photo taken for Katsigian's LOV3CVLT Coronado Pullover mod, available on Nexus.

Vasa's would be simple: "Tell someone. You're brave. It'll get better."
His childhood is [redacted for reasons], and as an adult he feels things could have been mitigated sooner if he'd been able to find his voice. The rest? Dw lil Vasa, you'll be ok. Meet good people. Things work out.
A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A young fair-skinned man stands in a club with purple lighting, framed from the waist up. He wears a black collared button up shirt with the short sleeves rolled up, black jeans, silver framed glasses, silver rings, and a watch. His dark purple hair is cut in a long side shave. He looks at the camera with black cyber eyes that have a neon purple approximation of an iris. His arm has an abstract black scribbles/lines tattoo.

Austen: Rich, bougie, deep scents that speak of musk, warmth, and money.
Vasa: Lizzies, gun oil & smoke, metal, hints of sweat, and soap. Quintessential "smells like the city of dreams" guy.
Vikki: Sugar, cotton candy, and strawberries.

A screenshot from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A fair skinned woman with dark hair, wearing a black sleeveless top and sunglasses, leans towards a white man, raising one hand as if to say 'see?' with good humour. The man, Colonel Kurt Hansen from Cyberpunk 2077, has a shaved head and wears a dark t-shirt. He has visible cyberware lines on his face and neck, cybernetic eyes, and two cyberware enhanced arms. His arms are crossed over his chest and he looks directly at the camera with a grumpy expression. Notably pinned to Kurt's chest is a button from the TV show Spongebob Squarepants that reads: 'I really wish I weren't here right now!' The pair stand in front of a large concrete staircase. On the viewer's left, there are stepped concrete planter boxes, lined around the bottom in blue neon lights.

Both Vasa and Austen have tattoos but I'm reworking Vasa's so Aus it is. She's an artist when not a merc, and loves Art Nouveau. Her ink is lifted directly from period motif catalogues, Jugend magazine image plates, and eventually Mucha, once I finish making the tattoo mod🥲
A screenshot from the video game Cyberpunk 2077. A light skinned woman with dark hair sits on a couch, lit in red and blue. Her elbows rest on her knees and her fingers are interlaced in front of her face, like she's considering what has just been said. She wears a black bra-style top with metallic stars and dark trousers. Just below her bust, a plain black tattoo of symmetrical swirling scrollwork is visible. [Scrollwork is a motif from an 1800s interior decor catalogue] A screenshot from the video game Cyberpunk 2077. A light skinned woman stands with her back to the camera. She wears dark shorts, a bra, and a necklace. She looks out onto a club dancefloor. Her back bears a tattoo of a single flower with leaves. The stem of the flower runs down her spine and the flower bloom and leaves sit between her shoulder blades. The tattoo is rendered in black, aside from the petals of the flower that are stippled in dark red and the central stamens which are solid red. [The flower is an image from the 10th edition of Jugend magazine, 1899, pg 158 drawn by Gertrud Kleinhempel]

She wears black leggings with mesh cut-outs, and a black long sleeve crop top with mock turtle neck. She holds a knife in her right hand and gives a devious side look to the photo's right-hand side. The lighting is dark, suggesting night time and a light reflects across the woman's face, casting it in a purple neon glow.

Ease of use! This one came as a twisted hank (and tangled so badly even as I was winding it). Hanks typically need to be wound into a ball or cake so you don't get the yarn tangled. I did a ball because imo they're more mobile than a cake, which makes it easier to unwind as you knit/crochet!
