ARE YOU DREAMING?

( ARE YOU SURE? )

[synthetiiic]

would it be better if this was a dream or reality? would it matter?

independent & mutuals only roleplay blog containing multiple characters from CYBERPUNK 2077 / MASS EFFECT / DETROIT BECOME HUMAN / AND MORE. written by lilie ( 30 , she / her , cst ). variable activity. 18+ only. mobile bound! rules below the cut.

cyberpunk 2077.

✧ v. (testing)

✧ delamain. (testing)

✧ viktor vektor. (testing)

✧ v, nate shepard.

mass effect.

✧ commander emiko shepard.

✧ commander nate shepard.

✧ garrus vakarian.

fallout.

✧ arcade gannon. (with cyberpunk verse.)

✧ mayor john hancock.

activity. extremely random activity. i’m trying to have a life, so i’ll be here randomly. i’m happy to plot more via discord. i’m here to be gay and ship everything.

content. mutuals only. no exceptions. any starter calls or opens are available for mutuals only. anything in character is strictly mutuals only. any original content is not for reblogging. this includes jokes, headcanons, metas, thoughts, what have you.

personals. there is a high chance that i’ll block personal blogs on sight. i do check out the blog first, though, so put in your description if you roleplay from a sideblog. i will also not follow if you lack a rules page and a place with your age (minor/18+ is sufficient).

tagging. tag ‘emetophobia’ or ‘vomit’. ask me to tag what you need. i tag graphic content.

no-nos. sickness involving vomiting.

nsfw. mun and muses are 21+. mun is asexual, but loves sexcanons. there likely won't be threads that continue through the full sexual act on this blog simply because i get bored writing it, but there will be plenty of other sexual content. i may write the foreplay or the beginning and fade to black.

shipping. multiship. i’m very here to ship. my characters may flirt, but all my ships are unique and special to me. all ships require extensive plotting. i mean, that's the fun part.

formatting. i like formatting, and tend to prefer when my partners use it, but it's not required. nothing too much, i just use small text, indenting, and some bold/italics for emphasis. a list of some things I struggle to read:

if you have a long paragraph, please split it up! it's hard for me to consume it otherwise. i don’t usually do more than multi-para, bc my adhd ass.

i do prefer that people don’t use multiple spaces between words or or letters, or alternate randomly between text size. it’s difficult for me to read, thanks!

if you want to use colored text, use the ones Tumblr provides, or check that your color can be read in high contrast in light and dark mode. i use a bit of colored text but i'm happy to not use it if requested!

I also struggle to read dialogue that phonetically spells out an accent to a significant degree. it slows my reading comprehension down to a crawl, unfortunately!

keep symbols and non-letter or pertinent punctuation characters to a minimum if it breaks up the flow of the sentence or paragraph.

ooc chatting. i prefer to keep ooc conversation focused on things related to our characters or the media! i feel awkward talking about real life stuff, as the only thing i want to talk about in real life is my nerdy shit anyway. 🤣 forgive me if i'm not good at maintaining non-character related conversation. the 'tism strikes back. also, pls avoid love bombing and telling me you love me or calling me bestie unless like. we're actually close friends.

[synthetiiic]

pls forgive my absence! I have no excuse, I'm just blobbing around and playing my second run through with v. feel free to plot with me in discord! if we're mutuals, let me know if you add me: possum_orb

reviewing some cute viktor details at the final boxing match

his cute lil KO earrings, plus his acne scars

broken nose scar, as well as injection scars. I saw a thing somewhere that he needs to use drugs to operate, as he injects himself before working on v to keep his hands steady.

being on trauma team, once upon a time? also bringing scalpels and pliers to a wrestling match is just amusing to me

'victor vector', but he's known as viktor vektor. this could be an oversight, or his attempt at going under the radar so if people try to Google him, the name is slightly wrong, so he doesn't come up. also, tie your shoes, man

and he's got a random carabineer and safety pins. never know when you need them. he's prepared.

what's up with lilie?

so I've been in an IOP/PHP program, which is basically therapy day camp, for my various sads and anxieties related to being autistic and a person in this world. it's from morning to the afternoon, and takes a good amount of my spoons, so also takes away my energy. as a result, I'm here a little less.

but! I'm easier to contact and rp over discord! feel free to ask to connect if we're mutuals!

nate's (approximate) background

born in houston, texas to a mother who died during childbirth and a father who wanted nothing to do with him. he lived with his neglectful father, mostly cared for by neighborhood babysitters, until his father eventually just didn't come back when nate was a child.

he lived under the kindness and charity of local abuelas who made sure he was fed and had a cot to sleep on. he scraped by with any job a scrawny kid with bruised knuckles could come across.

he was eventually the unofficial apprentice to one miguel ibarra, a local mechanic, where he learned about machinery and how to keep his elbows up on a fistfight.

as soon as he could pass for an adult at fifteen thanks to a lucky growth spurt, nate snuck into the military in the hopes of earning a good wage and, more importantly, respect. unfortunately, the NUSA military being what it is, he found himself waging senseless wars between rich people.

around nineteen, his unit was sent to NorCal to secure a rogue nomad outpost trafficking black market tech. in reality, it was a covert NUSA site to test a prototype AI combat suite that had gone live without safeguards and lost control, and the higher ups didn't want the real problem to get out. nate's unit was slaughtered as they spent days trying to reach the drone, leaving nate as the only one to survive. it was by pure luck and refusal to die that he managed to make it out. the military covered up the situation, calling it an accident and discharging nate with honors to keep his mouth shut.

abandoned in california, nate recalled miguel had a brother in night city, sebastian ibarra, and sought him out in the hope of utilizing his only connection and to disappear into the chaotic city. sebastian helped him settle in and kept an eye on him, integrating him into the night city street culture.

I'm not sure if I'm going to utilize the streetkid plot point of moving to atlanta or not. maybe he went as a favor to miguel to help him with something, but returned to night city when it went south. tbd.

and I think delamain will need to be plotting required to engage with bc he develops based on his specific interaction with sentient beings like v, so it kinda needs to be planned.
