[F4M] Under The City | Cyberpunk, Mentor/Mentee, Two Worlds Collide
The neon lights and loud music of Karizma were enticing to most, looking for a night of chrome-covered sin and laughter. Scout sat in a shadowy bar booth, tucked against the wall and nursing an injured side. A blade stayed sheathed and strapped against her back, a pistol on her hip, and a suspicious gaze in her eyes. At least thirty-seven threats. Four exits. Most of the threats were in some way inebriated, which lowered the danger in some ways. Every detail of the bar scene was etched into her minds eye, a lifelong practice that kept her alive.
A man slid into the booth across from her, an easy smile on his face. He acted casual, relaxed, but much like her, his eyes sought out the danger in the room. “It’s good to see you again.”
Scout stared at him, then slid her hand across the table, leaving a datashard in front of him. He quickly covered it with his own hand and pocketed it. “Take me to your boss.” Her words were calculated, chosen with care.
“You sure you want to do this?” The man leaned back against the booth. “I could help you just disappear.”
It was tempting, the offer he made, but Scout had already made up her mind. After ruining an operation on purpose to save a street gang she had no loyalty to, all because she saw someone she once knew-the man now sitting across from her-her life was in shambles. From prestigious corporate assassin to blacklisted. No home, no assets, no contacts. Everything was gone, in one single decision, and she had nothing left.
Except him.
She found him, days later, and argued that he owed her. Something. Anything. If she could secure a datatshard to prove she had defected, then he would take her to his boss, the leader of one of the local street gangs. There, she might find a new life, and a new purpose with it.
Her silence at his comment was all the answer he needed. “Okay… let’s go.”

Hello! I come to you today seeking a specific storyline. I hope my starter gave you a decent teaser into my writing style. I write in third person, past tense, and I’m very descriptive. The setting is “generic Cyberpunk”. We can come up with unique world builds for this, or just follow the ever popular Cyberpunk 2077 world, either is good with me.
This story follows my character, “Scout”, a woman with a complicated past (that I’d like to reveal over the course of the roleplay) who was raised to be a perfect, living weapon for the corporations in this Cyberpunk world. Good with a gun, but deadly with a blade. A proud corporate assassin, Scout has never strayed from her job, and is very good at compartmentalizing it all, until something happens on an op and she lies to her corporate squad, protecting the enemy, which happens to be this street gang. This gets her immediately blacklisted, loosing access to everything in her life up to this point. With nowhere else to go, and nothing left, she decides to try and join this gang.
That’s where you come in. I’m not seeking someone to play the person from her past mentioned in the above starter. I’m actually seeking someone to play the leader of the street gang. How you characterize him is largely up to you. Is he cruel and cunning? Ruthless but warm? the important parts are his willingness to help Scout deprogram and find her spot in this gang, and his fierce protectiveness of his ‘family’. He may not trust her at first, but ultimately, she will find a spot here just like anyone else. This is intended to eventually be a romantic Roleplay along with plenty of action.
I want to play with themes of identity crisis, morals versus corporate rulings, found family, and fierce loyalty. I’m also smut friendly, when the two characters eventually reach that point in their relationship.
