Sexy Swingin’ Cyberpunky Sentient Sex Doll Cybercafe Shenanigans

[Mac84]

WIP: Still looking for a picture.

Name: Jeremiah Stockton

Age: 29

Role: Android Engineer/Mechanic. Basically he fixes Androids that are having issues.


Look: Jeremiah, or Jerry as he is preferred to be call, stands about 5'11" tall. Naturally heavy set at about 280lbs. He has unruly dark brown hair and cheeks that have a smattering of freckles. Underneath his bulk he does have strong muscles from years working as a mechanic for heavy Androids. Some weighting in as much as 400+ pounds. His eyes are a deep forest green that seem to sparkle when he smiles. He has a few tattoos upon his arms. On his left he has what looks like a Nautical Compass with celtic accents due to his Scot-irish background. At the "northern" Arrow a Rose is draw in remembrance of his mother. On his right is a full sleeve done in the colorful Japanese style. But instead of the typical depictions of Koi Fish, Dragons, or Tigers. Jerry's sleeve is populated with his favorite monsters from The cheesy Kaiju Films he loved when he was younger. Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah taking prominent positions on his arm. Godzilla being his definite favorite.

Personality: Jerry is a laid back, friendly individual that would rather relax with his head resting on a girl's lap than getting in someone's face. Though that does not mean he is a push over by any means. He can dish out just as much punishment as he can take. He is particularly loyal to his friends, and treats Androids, even if they're not downloaded with a Human "Soul", like they're humans as well. With Respect, and Dignity. Sometimes this makes him the target of Anti-Android sentiment, and ridicule.

Background: Jerry was born, and Raised in the Deep South of the US. His Father was a heavy equipment operator, and mechanic while his mother was a cook at the local Dinner. So Jerry spent much of his time around his small town tinkering with his hands, and learning from both his parents. After High school, he became enamored with Robotics and Androids. Taking courses to learn how to repair and fix their systems, building on top of what he learned from his father. So by the time he was in his mid Twenties, he moved to Akiharabara Japan, the variable Android capitol of the World to ply his trade. and besides...Androids are smoking hot!

Note: Jeremiah has not augmentations in any way shape, or fashion.

Oh that's a fun idea. Could play 'doctor' with one of the android chars and have a ncie 'maintainance' scene

We all want to play "Doctor" with a cutie Robo-Girl. :D

Yay!   Now with big boss lady included were up to four characters.   With three submitted player characters.     :P

[ff]

Name: Ashley ‘Ash’ Blaiserre
Role: Owner and proprieter of Hyperlink Cybercafe
Look: An athletic 5’11” hardbody, Ash passes for - and is, mostly - human, with a few subdermal cybernetic features such as computerized assistant to her brain. She also has, some, uh, cosmetic enhancements. She can change her hair color (and to some degree, the style), alter the visual vascularity/tautness of her musculature, alter her bust size within a certain range, and, when she wishes, she can even brandish an impressive set of male genitalia. She can also zap unruly patrons with tazer-like electric shocks from her fingertips. 
Personality: Ashley’s quite A-type, assertive, and a hard-nosed businesswoman. She does also have an irrepressible and scandalous sense of humor; she likes satire, pop culture references, and bawdy jokes. Bisexual and exhibitionistic.
Background: An ex-pat military brat, Ashley was born in Okinawa to a stationed American military officer father. Her mother was a civilian engineer, albeit working for for a local defense contractor on military tech. She went to an American school in Okinawa, learned fluency in English and Japanese, and went to the ‘States for college at Stanford University. She’s also learned French, but her accent and fluency are questionable. She’s much more tech-savvy than most, but become more interested in business than tech itself while at Stanford.

She briefly worked in the Silicon Valley venture capital scene, made lots of money and also got stabbed in the back. She retired early, as it were, and used her money to open a nightclub in San Francisco. This venture went south when she found herself being heavily leaned on by not one but two organized crime factions who were vying for control of the local nightlife and associated businesses - lot of dirty money was flowing through San Francisoc, which had become a port of call for lots of drug smuggling and human trafficking from Asia.

Unwisely, Ashely had also gotten romantically and sexually involved with the daughter of a gangster - the crime boss of the California branch of Yakuza. Oddly, this led to a ‘strong suggestion’ that Ashley ‘sell’ her SF club at a ‘reasonable’ price but also an opportunity to purchase one in Tokyo. Ashley, fluent in Japanese anyway, decided...well why not try moving ‘back’ to Japan. 

Now she runs Hyperlink, a cybercafe / nightclub in Tokyo’s Akiharabara district, and she runs it with a silicon fist, staffed mostly by sentient sex doll gynoids that she’s bought. It’s apparently a profitable business. Ashley’s ambitious of course, and always looking for more hustle.

WIP: Still looking for a picture.

Lookin' good so far at least!

[ff]

I am totes down with this idea... hopefully have something for ya soon!

Hope so!

[ff]

Been thinking about this and have a few suggestions. 

That artificial intelligence, androids are classified as non citizens. Basically property owned, slaves.  Even thou they are sentient beings.   Like suggested a sub revolutionary culture and rebel leader railing against the system.   Might add for a reference source Robert Heinlein's book 'Friday' as a good source. 

Also another idea is adding a element of combat for players and there characters.   Is rival NPC cafes, organization that might try flinching from the cafe some of their property.  With such comes not just outright combative scenes, but intrigue and espionage.     Of course this is more then just  stealing androids.   It is in a cyber punk world about stealing and brokering information.   An what better place then the cafe for collecting such information for its owner to sell to the other entities of NPC players corporations and organizations in the world. 

Finally cybernetic enhanced humans.   They might not be classified as non citizens.   But like mutants in the Marvel comic world,  they are registered.   Humanity fears those that have been changed and are beyond the scope of what is normal.    Thus such individuals by law have to register.   So is the character registered and compliant or is he or she a renegade in society avoiding the intrusiveness of being registered by the government.   

All three of these ideas are meant to add a layer of depth and yet not take away from the sexiness of the cafe.  An over all soapbox genre of the story.   To blend the cyber sex with plot lines.

Yes I may do some of these later

And yes in this setting some (most?) androids/gynoids are owned and effectively slaves despite human-level intelligence, so we'll see where that goes and if there are agitators against that

What would you think of the idea of a cop character who drops by occasionally to handle his loneliness because deep down he's afraid of commitment to a real person?

What would you think of the idea of a cop character who drops by occasionally to handle his loneliness because deep down he's afraid of commitment to a real person?

Sounds like a good idea.

[stormwyrm]

Name: Gabriel Mason
Role: Cyborg Hacker
Look: Tall and thin at 190 cm, Gabriel was a human born and bred, and still mostly has the appearance he had before receiving a lot of internal cybernetic implants. His modifications include hands which can break open into multiple prehensile fingers, for a total of 30 such appendages, each of which has various standard connectors for interfacing to electronics. His eyes can change colours and glow at will. His member is mostly what he was born with, though it has some tricks to it as well, allowing it to vibrate and stretch in interesting ways. Inside him is a rather powerful computing unit with high energy requirements that makes him have a gluttonous appetite and a body temperature that is normal at 39°C, going as high as 43°C at high computation such as when he is hacking something.
Personality: An incorrigible neophile and hardcore Akiba-kei otaku, he's always ready to try anything new. He is rather quiet and secretive but is a faithful and loyal friend to those who have earned his trust. While he has no real compunctions about breaking the law he has his own ideas about justice and ethics and will not do jobs that go against these principles. He is a strong believer in the rights of androids and artificial intelligences. He is, though he has done experiments in virtual, just about completely straight.
Background: Gabriel was born in San Francisco and migrated to Japan after his elder brother died from neuro-electronic addiction and their parents and little sister moved to an anti-technological commune. Gabriel though had other ideas about dealing with the loss, and moved to Japan as it was the cutting edge of the technological revolution.

He quickly made a name for himself in the hacker underground, known as the Archangel, and was involved in a number of high-profile heists but so far hasn't been caught. On the outside he looks like a freeter with part-time jobs as cover for his illegal activities, though he has several nice properties owned by a network of shell corporations under his control. Both the police and the Yakuza have a suspicious eye on him though none have managed to figure him out.

[Cosmo_ac]

So, i'm thinking about something along the lines of a retired cop turned detective.  I know, a little cliché.  Essentially I'm thinking he would have been something like a blade runner, something caused him to have a bit of a change of heart, in part being that he was caught in a massive explosion and now has about 70% of his body being artificial in one way or another.   He likes to go to the club to drink, fuck, and occasionally pick up work.  I know, I know, very cliché and somewhat weak at the moment, but give me a few days to flesh him out a bit.

... That said... I dont think im gonna get a character done as much as i would absolutely love to.. my brain is fried:( sorry..

[Doomblade403xxx]

Name: Victor Reynolds
Role: Cop/Detective

Look: It's not common for gaijin to be seen in the streets of Tokyo, even less common for them to be sporting badges, guns, and enforcing the law. Victor Reynolds is 5'10 and sports an slim athletic build. His time in the U.S. Military got him in good shape. Time and energy spent in the precinct gym keeps him buff. His work attire is best described as casual covered by a trenchcoat that covers two 10mm autoloaders in tactical thigh holsters. He always seems to be on the lookout for trouble. Always wary of lurking danger. His left arm has been replaced by a cyberarm as has his left eye.

Personality: When it comes to the job he is the best and brightest of his field and is a bit of a maverick in the Tokyo Homicide Division. He has faced gangs as well as crime lords and still lives to tell the tale. He fears attachment to biological humans in that enemies could use a partner as a way to influence or hurt him. The Hyperlink and places like it gives him a place to unwind and have some companionship, then disengage. His survival in the harsh landscape of the New Tokyo hinges on the lack of attachments and distractions. It's what makes him a very good cop. On the flip side his discipline makes him a sad and lonely human being. Very few ever see that side of him or decipher his quiet nature. 

Background: Victor actually grew up in Los Angeles. In school he learned he had a gift for languages. His mother was Russian and father American, he grew up speaking two languages from birth. His next language was Spanish in high school. Soon after graduation he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and found himself stationed in South Korea. By the time his enlistment was completed he spoke a passable Korean and an excellent Japanese.

Upon returning home he went into the police academy and graduated with top honors. He spent time on bike patrol working the Little Tokyo district. It is a hard place for any officer to work, much less a white one, but his straight on honesty, knowledge of the Japanese culture and language made him an effective policing tool. Anyone who tried to hide in Little Tokyo was usually brought in quickly by a patrol officer who seemed to have eyes and ears everywhere.

So impressed by his effectiveness in Little Tokyo, Japan asked for a personel trade. Once he arrived it was real eye opener for the criminal element. His first 2 months as a detective he investigated, convicted, and broke up a huge weapon smuggling ring. This bust led to another and another. His contacts always found him good intel and great busts. They also earned him powerful enemies. Enemies that have taken an arm and an eye from him thus far.

[Vergil1989]

Name:  Alexis Monroe
Role:  Cyborg Bouncer/Occasional Customer
Look:  Americans in Japan aren't uncommon, but a registered cyborg of a woman that could've walked off the Paris fashion show floor wasn't so typical.  To make her even more of an outsider, the mystery of why she even has her metallic, if fully tactile capable arms that go right up to her shoulders, is answered if one looks at her scarred face.  A single if jagged line going up over her right eye, to the top of her forehead, with it beginning at the bottom of her chin, could only come from shrapnel from some kind of explosive.  In this case, an IED during her time overseas.  Between that and the debris that ended up turning her outstretched arms from when she hit the ground on her face, into street pizza, and she's lucky to be alive, let alone able to stand upright.  Even so, her feelings of being an outcast in this country, disfigured, and an exile from her own, essentially, has made Alexis taciturn and easily pissed off, but she DOES defend Ash's property and her club with the same efficiency she performed her old job.  As a result of these factors however, she dresses in black synth leather, or encompassing long sleeve shirts, pants, and the like, with a pair of black sunglasses almost constantly resting on the bridge of her scarred nose, more to try and hide her disfiguring facial scar from casual glances.  Very rarely, at least currently, Alexis has been known to wear more...revealing clothing at times, low cut tops and shorts that show off her powerfully built if curvaceous frame.
Personality:  Before her time overseas, helping to clean up the U.S miiltary's more...unsanctioned operations, Alexis was a much brighter, cheerful, fun loving if goal oriented person that took shit from no one.  After her time over in the 'soup' however, her sense of humor was flattened along with her arms when an IED went off.  If not for her quick thinking, a lot more people would've died, but because of it, she was the only one that ended up getting burned.  Now she drinks, stays to herself mostly, and works at the Hyperlink since, despite an honorable discharge for services rendered, her former superiors more or less buried her, and slapped her with a gag order as well as a rather badly veiled threat to keep her mouth shut about what they were doing over there.  Needless to say, she wasn't feeling particularly loyal to them by that point, and gladly took their money before going to Japen to start over, far from those that once knew her.  How she wound up at Hyperlink is a story and a half on its own, and one she doesn't mind telling, despite habitually glossing over the more sordid details of why she's in Japan in the first place.  As long as the boss pays her and lets her uses the gynoids, Alexis is happy to keep her mouth shut about what really goes on in the club.
Background:  Born in a small suburb just outside New York's sprawling metropolis, Alexis Monroe had a relatively good life in a upper middle class, military family.  Discipline, order, control, respect, these and more were instilled in her at an early age, but despite all that, she had a happy life growing up, and when the time came, she gladly joined the military, getting herself noticed by people working for the CIA.  Becoming a highly trained specialist, aiding in cleanup operations around the world, mostly in Irag, Afghanistan, Isreal, etc, Alexis's deeds were mostly kept off the record for obvious reasons.  Still, she enjoyed the ability to travel, to see the world, and while she was required to kill more than a few people doing variously illegal and at times horrific things, she didn't think much about most of them.  Orders were orders, and she was good at compartmentalizing the emotions associated with some of her more sordid missions.  That didn't mean it didn't leave its scars on her psyche, but if not for the IED that she just managed to spot when she'd been tripped up by a small animal burrow in the middle of the sandy street in a half deserted stretch of road, in an equally run down slum that barely qualified to be called as such, she would've went on to succeed in a lot more missions for several more years yet, perhaps even gotten a nice office job in Washington.  But because she spotted it, she naturally did what she could to get it disarmed, but the bomb tech she'd been working with fucked up, which ended with it going off.  If not for the warning from the man before he became a fine red mist on the sandy ground, she and several others would've died or been seriously injured.  As it were, she had just enough time to get everyone else back before being blown off her feet, her face on fire as a piece of shrapnel cut its way through her flesh.  A piece of the building she'd been blown towards ended up falling due to the shockwave from the car and the bomb, which landed on her outstretched arms.

It was enough to knock her out cold from the sheer agony of it all.  She woke up a week later, her arms gone, her face permanently scarred, and a couple of military stiffs wanting her to sign a gag order with a less than kind word of caution against running her mouth about what she'd been doing over there.  All of her years of service, of cleaning up their messes, and this was the thanks she got?  If not for the fact they knew where her family lived, she might've told them to go fuck themselves, but she accepted the 'deal', took the substantial severance pay she was owed, and hopped on the first flight out of the country as soon as her new arms were delivered to the hospital's OR, a bottle of pain and anti-rejection meds in her back pocket.  The anti-rejection pills have done their job of integrating the mechanical limbs to her body without any of the usual complications otherwise, and the pain has since become a dull ache, a tingle from limbs no longer there despite being able to 'feel' everything she once could.  Doesn't mean she hates what she sees in the mirror though, despite still being a very attractive woman overall.  Couple that with the fact she's an outcast from her own country, who sees herself as a monster anytime she looks in the mirror, and that isn't truly welcome in Japan for more or less the same reason, it's no surprise to anyone that knows her at all that she, works, drinks, and occasionally fucks in Hyperlink's neon embrace.  Her working relationship with the owner is much the same, as long as she's able to drink and work to keep the place running smooth, she does her best to protect Ash and all she owns.  Keeping her mouth shut about what really goes on is easy enough for her, especially since it was Ash that found her, saved her, cleaned her up, and gave her a sense of belonging, even if it was a far cry from what she used to do for a government that didn't give a damn about her.

Gabriel and Victor both look great and are approved.

I'll likely make an NPC post shortly to better 'set the stage' of the cybercafe main area.

So, i'm thinking about something along the lines of a retired cop turned detective.  I know, a little cliché.  Essentially I'm thinking he would have been something like a blade runner, something caused him to have a bit of a change of heart, in part being that he was caught in a massive explosion and now has about 70% of his body being artificial in one way or another.   He likes to go to the club to drink, fuck, and occasionally pick up work.  I know, I know, very cliché and somewhat weak at the moment, but give me a few days to flesh him out a bit.

I'd call that "cliche but in a good way", as there's a longrunning link between cyberpunk and noir (like Deckard from Blade Runner), so I think a char like that would work great. I say go with that concept.

[Vergil1989]

And I do believe Alexis is done and good to go FF.  Enjoy!  ;D  If I need to edit anything, just let me know.

As for the bit about Ash saving Alexis, I just figure it was more Alexis got herself into some trouble with one of the local street gangs and bit off more than even she could chew.  Afterwards, her loyalty to the club owner was assured, but if you don't want that part or want me to change it or whatever, just say.  Lookin' forward to what you think FF.  ;D

Alexis looks great; approved. The bit about Ash saving Alexis is a nice hook for how she came to work there. Ash being a military brat would probably contribute towards her empathy for Alexis and willingness to have pulled her off the street so to speak.

[Vergil1989]

YAY!  Well boss, guess I'm your new gal.  ;D

So....worker benefits included or am I exclusive to Ash?  :P  Lol jokes aside, lookin' forward to meeting the gang.

Also, I gotta say, those two gynoids currently in Ash's office are both very creative concepts, and a horrific idea that you could end up trapped in one of those things, ending up someone else's 'pet' like they are.  It's damn genius though.

[stormwyrm]

Here's an idea for a plot line... Maybe there's a terrorist organisation out there calling itself the Butlerian Jihad. If you know Dune, you know what I'm talking about. They consciously adopted the name from the Dune series themselves, and held to the commandment: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind." Thus androids, robots, and artificial intelligences are considered the blackest abominations and anathema by their credo, and they seek to destroy all such artificial minds, though they are not above using computers and the Metaverse/Cyberspace/or whatever we call a virtual reality world here, is to them "Babylon the Great". I've got a character based on this concept too... Gabriel's own little sister Raphaelle.

Haha, fine with me (and Ash) is Alexis fools around with customers. Oh and very hot face claim on her btw

Yeah it really is, it's a nice example of the existentially disturbing potential fo a cyberpunk setting. And I've been enjoying the internal monologue and conflict of Sue/Aphrodite
