Happy Hour

oops

Well-don’t worry, they should be fine as long as you make sure they don’t get the ‘zoomies’-..i don’t quite know how one accidentally evolves one into a Kleavor but-I don’t have room to talk, I once caught a gastly on startle reflex and Vinnie caught a Meltan on accident.

Vinnie is a born and bred NC streetkid. His families origin lies in Chile, a couple of generations back. He is an only child and loses his parents early, gets taken in by his grandma, and stays with her until he's 12ish . His grandmother loved him but couldn't handle him, he got into lots of streetfights, roamed the streets of Night City on his own, getting to know every nook and cranny in the process, getting into all kinds of trouble - stealing, brawling, breaking and entering. After his grandmother's death (she passes while he'son one of his day-long random disappearances), he lives on the street for some time, going hungry a lot of times. He makes a meager living by doing bareknuckle fights for money. On one of those fights, a gang member of the Valentinos sees him and takes him under their wings. He gets shelter, food  and training to become a merc. He leaves the Valentinos to become a solo merc. He had been working the odd small jobs for various fixers around town while in the Valentinos, but all the money from these gigs went to the gang. Wakako offers him his first serious money gig under the condition that he leaves the gang and works for her exclusively for a time. He agrees before he knows what the job is, because he feels very drawn to Wakako - she reminds him of his grandmother - just deadlier, of course. He learns that the job is to take care of her 4th husband. He does not hesitate to do it - and becomes her favorite merc in the process.

I will do it for fixers as well bc I love the idea!

Rules are simple: Describe your OC in the words of an NPC (or NPCs). Feature as many NPCs as you want. Then tag at least as many people.

FIXER NOTES on Vinnie

Muamar Reyes - El Capitàn:

That's my boy! Ah, yes, we have shared many a cigarette talking about life and what it entails. He often drives by when he's on route somewhere. Yeah, I give him whatever I can, as I said, he's my boy, I'm helping him out whenever. He always gets the job done, bit messy at times. But that's my boy, so it's OK.

"You mean, unlike my day job?"
