I miss the cyberpunk community posting OC lore so reblog this with a fun fact about your V or not-a-V. Share the lore. Share it.
(You can give one sentence or one essay or anything in between. Dealer’s choice)
Viaraxia openly hates and afraid of implants and body cybernetics, to the degree when he falls into long depression episodes every time Arasaka takes something from his body, even something not visible. And rippers of Arasaka know that this is good strategy to punish it's soldier and make him be so scared, to obey every their absurd demand. This fear might be the product of his past and upbringing from his nomad family. Growing up in USSR, hopping from place to place across nuclear wasteland makes you cherish every part of your healthy body, and makes you throw scarce resources on every opportunity to restore health, to not let down your family on the move. Viaraxia underwent a full body conversion once, after a long unsuccessful battle with radiation sickness. This body was the most valuable present from his family, while they gave almost everything for it, not asking anything in return. This body is significantly different from the original, to the surprise of those around, but V was glowing from his deathbed (not only from radiation sickness!) seeing something people called "oops, sorry, we need to grow new one, because this came out with wrong body parts and some other conflicting details about it". This body is perfect, this is how Viaraxia seen himself all his life, he wants it, he want to be this person, and this is him, always has been. And now Arasaka mutilates (by V words) his perfect body. They took away his hands, to give mantis blades instead (what was bad about any other melee weapon he can grasp in his hands!?), they took away his real eyes, scarred his face and visible parts of body with ugly implants. Even so, he loves every little detail about what remains untouched, and this love spreads to other people. Viaraxia envies (in a good way) all real bodies and worships every inch of all his partners.
