Cyberpunk: Can I install game mods?

Logline Rocky drops into Night City with one busted secret: he can install modules in reality. Chrome, code, and consequences scale fast. Platform Synopsis (short) Rocky wakes in Night City and discovers a broken dev-menu grafted to his soul—he can slot world modules like a game. A back-alley clinic becomes his cover; a black-ops exoskeleton becomes his fist. One by one, legends orbit the anomaly: Lucy (ghost-netrunner), Rebecca (gun gremlin), David Martinez (overclocked Sandevistan), Jackie Welles (ride-or-die), and V (ex-Arasaka counterintel with more chrome than sense). Each “mod” rewrites the rules—streets, corps, even fate—until Night City births a devil and five new legends. Arasaka flags the crew “RED/SEVERE.” Rocky calls it patch notes. In-Universe Dossier (Arasaka: CONFIDENTIAL) Unit: Ascension Technology Special Operations Captain: L (aka Rocky) — operates an underground clinic; freelance merc; pilots Ascension Exo; anomaly: “world-module installation.” Members: Jackie Welles — ex-Valentinos; recruited 2074. V — ex-Arasaka counterintel; extreme chrome; cyber-psychosis risk: unknown. David Martinez — former Arasaka Academy; high-mod Sandevistan user. Lucy — suspected Arasaka netrunner defector. Rebecca — gunslinger; former Maine crew. Equipment Note: Most weapons/prosthetics are sourced from off-grid Ascension Technology; effectiveness is untested; assume lethal/unknown. Actionable: Engage only with armored response and net-containment. Prefer non-contact. THIS IS A TRANSLATION Lucy and Rebecca Art by @HIGH2333

Echorin

In the drowned borderlands of Eloweth, echoes of ancient power stir beneath the mist. Jaka Theryn and his younger brother Kai live quiet lives by Theryn Lake, mending nets and surviving the remnants of a world long fractured by the Fall. But when a strange resonance ripples through their bloodline, something only the Theryn family can feel, Jaka begins to sense that the silence around their forgotten town is not peace, but containment. The Theryns are descendants of those who once guarded the ancient Echorin, relics of immense energy, left behind after the cataclysmic split in humanity. The Fall did more than shatter the world. It fractured the essence of life itself. From its aftermath rose three intertwined lineages. The Bloodborn, who sustain themselves through the resonance of life itself, the Lunarborn, whose bodies bend beneath the pull of the moon, and the unaltered humans who remain caught between both. Each race evolved from the same spark, yet each covets the Echoes for different reasons. Power, Balance, or Survival. Jaka grounds his brother Kai, who is plagued by vivid visions and prophecies of the world’s second undoing, are drawn together with a circle of unlikely allies. They uncover the truth, the relics were never meant to be wielded but awakened. They amplify what already lies within, courage, hunger, wrath, or hope. And in a world built from the ashes of its own ambition, some will learn to harness that power, while others will prove they no longer need it.
