Addicted to Violence
By Print
Night City has a love of violence. Not a history if it, or some mystical destructive force bringing violence
here, the people and corporations invite violence at every turn. This love has had some interesting effects on
its residents, Night City is the only place I’ve seen a man go from a nobody to a world-wide celebrity in such a
short amount of time. Night City is the only place where you’re forced into greatness or thrown to the wayside,
edgerunners line the streets and some of the most prominent companies make some claim here, you can see
the heights of luxury and the absolute worst poverty just a block away from each other.
At the same time this love of violence brings those who worship it, recently a few of these people have
made names for themselves, Joris Bronsen, Rator, the High Riders. All people or groups that have slaughtered
innocent people by the dozens for the sake of some goal! Joris Bronsen murdered several homeless people at
their shelter and attempted to blow up around a dozen children, the only thing that saved them? Quick thinking
edgerunners. Then he breaks into a Militech bunker to steal explosives, and is not fought off by the company
he’s stealing from, but rather edgerunners, who were unsuccessful in securing the explosives but did manage
to keep the place from going under. Finally Bronsen took control of a tower and armed the building to explode,
planning on taking out a large section of the green zones, without the intervention of yet more edgerunners, he
would’ve succeeded.
The throughline through all of his major outbursts is many innocents getting hurt and killed, the complete
lack of intervention from the PD or Corps, and the only saviors being the edgerunners this city produces. But
even they aren’t safe. Rator attempted to murder a couple of high profile edgerunners, namely the hit rocker, St.
Spike and the CEO of Paragon St. Silver, and local Capitalist St. Onks. Luckily the trio proved harder to kill than
one would assume, as St. Silver managed to keep the ship afloat while St. Spike and St. Onks dealt with a group
of Ice Lillies who were slaughtering the people on the ship. If it weren’t for them that ship and all the people
would’ve been on the body lottery instead of only the 15 brave souls who died to the Ice Lillies. Then soon after
St. Silver’s house is destroyed in an attack by some group called the High Riders, in the middle of a green zone
and the police didn’t even arrive until the place had been cleared out by, as one can assume, edgerunners. Then
the police arrest one of the men defending the house, have him electro flogged and release him.
This is completely unacceptable behavior from the city. The PD, the Corps, and the people. All seem to be
unable or unwilling to keep this city from consuming itself in its addiction to violence, some I can understand,
some people are unable to fight and some threats are too big for the average person to handle, but that’s what
the PD and Corps are for. To them I say, this is your city too, start to act like it. Don’t rely on edgerunners to solve
every problem that shows up. The cartels managed to get into South Night City and slaughter a school, by grace
of God, while it was not in session. They attacked in military grade arms and vehicles, and everyone just let it
happen, except edgerunners and those who they managed to gather.
We need to get our shit together before this city returns to the early days of Night City, back when the streets
of the whole city were full of violence and even kids packed iron. To those who think they can make a change in
this, take this as a call to action. Protect your family, protect yourself, protect what’s yours. Don’t let others walk
over you, stand up and defend your city, take up arms at the next gang fight, let both sides know that Night City
is not their playground. In that same vein, try to keep things civil, intervene when arguments get out of hand,
try to de-escalate, and reduce the amount of bodies in this city. Every life saved is another person who has
another chance to become better. To the Corps, let down the walls, let some of that protection flow, even if it’s
to the green zones, keep your city safe and you’ll find people are able to spend more on things they want rather
than hospital and funeral bills. To the edgerunners, keep it up. Maybe try to keep things quiet, leave less bodies,
protect yourself, but definitely give back to the city, not just to the others in the edgerunner community.
This is everyone’s city. It’s time everyone put care into it.

Careening down the oil slicked and bullet gauged road of south night city. A semi, the trailer filled to the brim with blood
thirsty cartel soldiers, ready to execute every man woman and child in their path to fulfill the bloody desires of the hammer.
The camera pans to Everette, surfing the rambulance as it streaks through the sky. Its form a red streak on the night city
skyline. Taking a knee Eva inhales, then holds her breath. Her trigger squeeze is firm, smooth and solid. It sends a burst of fire
through the windshield catching the cartel driver in the throat, the 5 round burst walks rounds up the drivers face in a jagged
slash, adam’s apple, chin, nose, right eye and finally the forehead. The family of rounds throw a party in the mans ragged
corpse and blow confetti out of the back of his skull. In his death throes he jerks the wheel, the semi tips slowly, and then all
at once. The metallic hulk spraying sparks asphalt and sand in waves before it finally lurches to a halt.
The scene flashes to the inside of a warehouse, the beat drops in with bone jarring force. The camera slowly pans from
Evas high fashion bullet proof shoes, as shell casings from her malorian and silver arms 1911 hit the ground in tandem with
the beat. As she fills the room with hot death, The camera takes a slow ride up highlighting Evas curves. She is the image of
deadly elegance, as her armor and clothing has been replaced with animated tattoos of her beating heart, her skeleton traced
in blues pinks and undulating waves of color, the camera finally stops at the death mask that is Eva’s face. As she grins and
squeezes the trigger again, the camera follows the bullet from the malorian in slow motion as it rides along it gets a tour of
the inside of a reckoners insides. The universe that is his soft squishy lungs, brittle ribcage and finally passing through to say
hi to the spinal column before bullet rips itself free, embedding itself into a tank of highly flammable meth.
The flames wash across the screen, this time we see the inside of a helicopter. Eva in a gravity defying stunt is walking up
the side of the chopper before yanking open the cabin door. With an evil grin she unleashes a torrent of 5.56 sized death. The
camera pans back out to show the chaos raining as rockets streak through the air. Tracers light up the night sky and fire and
explosions paint the night in a hellish glow.
The screen goes black, with but a single glow of light highlighting the deadly curves of Eva.
The camera goes in for an extra tight shot on evas lips.
“Everette, the first and last name in tactical preparedness.”

PROFILE:
BEAST
Beast. A name you’ve definitely heard if you live in South Night City. Whether you’re an innocent civ, scraping shit together, or a
scummy criminal tormenting the aforementioned civilian, you have definitely felt his impact, either through his help in the community, or
his boot on your face. Today we sat down and talked with Beast, and got the low down.
While you are prominent in your circles, not everyone knows who you are. Why don’t
you introduce yourself?
Yo, I’m Beast. I’m the new top dog in SNC and I’m one of the main people who’s been
helping my people out down here. I’m sure you’ve heard of Spike’s school, I’m the Head of
Swag there. My job’s to look out for the kids and make sure they all look fuckin’ sweet.
You’re a man of many different talents. You recently participated in the Night City
Ultimate Fighting Championship, but also won a Hover Bull riding competition. Where do
you think you fit in the most? How does Beast see himself?
Course I’m a man of many talents. Can’t have the swagger I do if you’re not good at a whole
lotta different things. I fit in right where I am. I’m helping my people wherever I can and I got
some stuff set up in the background that’s gonna get me some extra cash and pull to do that
even better.
You’re well known as a man with high tastes of fashion, so much so that you’re known
as the “Saint of Swagger.” Is there a future in the fashion industry for a man such as
yourself?
Heeeeell no. You couldn’t pay me to get into the fashion industry. Just because I look far,
far better than everyone else doesn’t mean I’m gonna sell out to some fashion corp. I got my
swagger from the streets and it’s gonna stay there.
Is there a specific icon that you take inspiration from?
Not in the slightest. I’m a leader and a trailblazer, I do what I think is good, and the cool
people follow. I don’t need to look up to someone else for ideas. What I do gives other people
ideas.
Tell us, what does a man such as yourself do in your spare time?
I spend most of my free time hanging out with my buds and attending to shit at the
school. I’ll head out to Julia’s concerts, go to parties, and do some NC UFC fights occasionally.
Whatever seems fun at the time.
Speaking of spare time, you’ve been seen by various paparazzi hanging out with
Electrogal recently. Are the rumours of your relationship true?
Sure is. Straight up power couple right here, I tell ya. Me and Julia have already beat the
hell out of a couple people because they thought they could talk shit to us cause they had a
bunch of friends. Guess they missed the memo where we both have a lot of friends too, Way
more friends. Way more dangerous, too.
What is she like behind the scenes?
Great in the sack, let me tell ya! Ha, yeah, she’s great. I think we mesh pretty well. She’s a
little calmer than I am, but that’s not saying much. She’s a rocker and I’m, well, me. We’re both
pretty wild.
While some people in SNC think you’ve gone a bit off the rails, most will gladly
admit that you’ve been a positive influence. However, you’ve also got a bit of a record of
violence. Tell us, what is your philosophy of when violence is necessary?
Off the rails? I’ve never had any rails, my man. I’ve always just gone wherever and done
whatever, and violence is necessary whenever the hell someone needs their head busted in,
bro. Violence isn’t exactly a rare thing in my neck of the woods. Not like my guys are gonna
see me decking some dude in a bar and think ‘My goodness, Beast just hit that man! Can you
believe it, Jerry?’ Nah, they’d be beside me and kicking him while he’s down.
It seems like you are quite popular in SNC, do you see a political career in your future?
No. I hate politics. I’m not gonna be a politician. I don’t need to go through bureaucrats
to get shit done. I just go out and get it done. Who’s gonna stop me? Cops don’t come around
here, I’m friends with most of the gangs and I’ve been helping the people out big time. I get
more done than any politician could, way faster too.
