🌆 Welcome to the Dark Future
Step into the neon-soaked streets of Night City with this comprehensive mod that brings the iconic character roles from Cyberpunk 2020 to RimWorld!

🎸 Featured Roles



Rockerboy - The Rebel with a Cause
Armed with screaming guitars and gut-honest lyrics, the Rockerboy challenged corporate authority and government corruption through music that could inspire the timid, strengthen the weak, and give vision to the blind. Their songs didn't just entertain—they exposed truth and rallied people away from their screens and into the streets. Whether playing kick-ass rock n' roll or straight-out protest songs, they wielded music as a weapon against the powerful forces that really run the world.

Skills: Social +5, Artistic +4, Intellectual +2, Crafting +1
Traits: Rockerboy, Charismatic Leadership
Work Restrictions: Cannot perform Mining



Nomad - Road Warrior of the Wasteland
When corporations drove their family off the farm, they gradually fell in with other homeless families until they'd created a nomad pack of nearly two hundred members. Crammed into a ragtag fleet of cars, vans, buses and RVs, the pack roamed freeways looking for supplies, odd jobs, and spare parts in a fragmented world. As a Scout, they rode leather-armored on bikes and in fast muscle cars, protecting the convoy from rival packs, cops, and corporates. Like a modern day cowboy, they rode the hard trail with a gun, a bike, and that's all they needed.

Skills: Shooting +4, Melee +3, Crafting +3, Animals +2, Social -2, Artistic -2, Intellectual -1
Traits: Nomad, Family, Tough
Characteristics: Hardy survivors with strong family bonds but suspicious of outsiders

@toastycorgri I use Mort's and there is already a mode that reduces cool-downs and modifies permits in other ways, I will take a look at those and see if I can implement something like that.

First of all this looks like a nice mod. If i can make a sugestion regarding the corpo traits though. From my perspective they are a weaker version of the fixer traits. Maybe to differentiate them (if its even possible) give the corpo a permit cooldown (and/or honour cost) buff. This would keep with the theme of "asset acess" and work espcially well with mods like Morts "The Cooperation" Faction (Link: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2974334010&searchtext=corporate) and the Dead Man's Switch Series.

Hacking speed has been added to the Netrunner trait (it cant be added to backstories)
Argyuile  [author] 16 Jul @ 8:55pm 
@Furious_Pixel, I couldn't find the modifier, as soon as I find it they will get one.
Furious_Pixel 15 Jul @ 4:04pm 
Netrunners have no hacking speed bonus??

@argyuile Ah ok! I was just curious is all. Thanks for all the work!

@Kasane it does not. I was unaware of that mod until you posted it. I will take a look at the mod and see if there is some synergy to be had.
