What would a ‘borged out killing machine like Adam Smasher wish for? We’re not sure, but better tell him happy birthday before he blows out the candles!
Longshore Stacks is well-known for being home to the Tree of the Lost, where residents light candles for missing souls, hoping they’ll find a way back home. Seems someone should light a candle for V, because the merc’s died here more often than in any other Dogtown district! 🕯️
A King of Cups is a creative and emotionally-driven person. They are a strong individuals, who realize the importance of feelings. Intuition helps them navigate their lives. When fate is in their favor, compassion guides their actions. When they're at odds with fate, it'd be unwise to trust them.

Kurt's Sanctuary
Kurt’s not the blood-thirsty warlord folks like to think. He’s a natural-born leader. A shrewd operator, revered by his crew. Once upon a time, he got left in the lurch by his former employer. So he flipped the script. Set up shop in Pacifica’s inner sanctum. Used his savvy on wartime hustling to hammer out his own destiny. Now, business is booming, for better or worse.
Wanna cut a deal with the devil? Go ahead. Just don't cry foul when you can't handle the heat.
On the Shoulders of Giants
The Pacifica project, Militech’s ace in the hole — till the game got canceled. A desperate move to buff their tarnished rep in Night City, so the story goes. But was it just a PR ploy? Or is there something more sinister lurking beneath?
A Day In Dogtown
Every day, newcomers make their way past Dogtown’s walls full of hope for a better life. Some are looking to hide, but most want to escape their dark pasts. What they don’t know is that there’s no bright future waiting for them here… They’re just changing one form of terror for another: from corpos to warlord Kurt and his loyal dogs — Barghest.
The current president of the New United States of America, now gearing up to fight for a fourth term in office. As the former CEO of Militech, she had no scruples about using her connections to further the NUSA's expansionist dream.
As a veteran spy, even the years spent as a sleeper agent haven't dulled Solomon Reed's senses. Despite his complicated past with the FIA, his sense of duty to his country is unshakeable.
Once a hotshot teenage netrunner taking on dangerous — and illegal — missions, Songbird caught the attention of the FIA during a particularly daring heist. It didn't take long before her talent cemented her position as President Myers’ right hand.

The Tower
The Wheel of Fortune means that change is coming. One's destiny could turn out for the better or the worse, yet it is also bears the promise of new possibilities. The Wheel reminds us that nobody remains at the top forever, but also that not every situation is hopeless.
The Lovers is the card of dichotomies. It points to the contradictions that clash within each of us and of the challenge of striking a balance between extremes. The Lovers is also the card of dilemmas, like The Fool who stands at the crossroads, unable to make his choice.
The Sun symbolizes success. It is a card of freedom, renewal and a bright future that lies ahead. The Sun also represents truth, for its light will always pull back the curtain of shadow that hides the world's secrets. It is also represents greatness and splendor.
Kerry's Tattoos
Hi Tumblr!
Our community member @alanwakemeup asked about Kerry's tattoos and we compiled some lore for you, so get ready ✨
His tattoos show the many phases of his turbulent lifestyle.
Drugs, fire, booze, running up his arm, a date he can't get out his head, attempts to turn his life around and reconnect with his heritage with the lines becoming more traditional and calm, running down his chest.
In more detail:
- 2023 is the day of Johnny's death, and it is combined with a hidden symbol of mikoshi, a cherub waving an anahaw (the national leaf of the Philippines): This symbolizes Kerry reconnecting with his roots and starting over after Johnny's death
- On his shoulder, Kerry is sporting his solo album cover art
- Upwards from the wrist are his favorite brands of booze and some ~ substances ~ in a big swirl, showing his complicated relationship with them. There's also a sneaky V shape around the mikoshi symbol, a nod to V.
- The sleeve extends to his chest and follows more traditional filipino tribal tattoo work, which serves as protection and again shows Kerry reconnecting with his roots
- His other sleeve is mainly decorative but again sticks to the shape of a V

Humans of Night City - Archibald Crane
Nobody thought I’d end up a corpo, least of all me. “Better to write your own paycheck,” my dad always used to say. He was a supplier for the city’s reconstruction after the war. Good money, that was. Seemed like nothing would ever prove him wrong. But then Night City got rebuilt, demand went into a downward spiral. Eddies slowed to a trickle, then dried up completely. Lotta folks lost their jobs, businesses went bust. A few tried their luck with the nomads, but most stayed behind in the city. Arroyo, Rancho Coronado, all those dumps. Saw how they lived, then lived what I saw. One day I just walked away and never looked back. Militech’s the best gig I’ve ever had since. I pay my bills on time, put food on the table - even real meat once in a while! This ain’t the 2030s anymore - you gotta roll with the times.
