Cyber ninja


The Cyber Ninja is a trained killing machine, dispatching foes with deadly efficiency. As primarily melee combatants, they focus on delivering swift and deadly punishment to both individuals and groups of enemies. While exploring, they are invaluable in situations that require subterfuge and cunning.

Backstory[ | ]

Based on what the player chooses, there are a number of possibilities and backgrounds for the Cyberninja.

Childhood[ | ]

Outlander[ | ]

Born far from the Yokai in the slums of Luna II, the Cyberninja was raised on the stories and culture of their people. Unable to find implants to undergo ritual modification, they taught themselves and constructed their own. This background grants Street Code.

Clan Tao[ | ]

Child of a ruling clan on the Yokai, the Cyberninja's upbringing was steeped in the martial, cybernetic, and spiritual arts of their people. Though they wanted for nothing, they always dreamed of something more... This background grants Formal Education.

Clan Megeta[ | ]

Cursed with the stigma that the descendants of their clan are "untouchable," the Cyberninja's family strugged to raise them in the Yokai tradition. Unable to afford quality implants, they settled for what they could steal. This background grants Fringe Culture.

Adulthood[ | ]

Chimera Soldier[ | ]

Rejecting the edict of their family to serve no master but the Yokai, the Cyberninja sought out Chimera BioPharma. The coredwellers balked at the Cyberninja's demeanor and ways, but their skill with a blade was never questioned.
This background grants +5 Reputation with Chimera BioPharma, +5% Accuracy, & +3% Damage.

Jiyin Biotech Soldier[ | ]

The Cyberninja sought permission from their family to join Jiyin Biotech and they begrudgingly acquiesced. Thrilled at the universe beyond the confines of the Yokai, the Cyberninja forged valuable alliances with Jiyin.
This background grants +5 Reputation with Jiyin Biotech, +5% Critical Hit chance, & +5% Dodge.

GalaxyMart Greeter[ | ]

Though somewhat misleading, the job title was appropriate. First through the hatch when raiding a corp, the Cyberninja soon learned how their employer could afford to undercut the competition so ruthlessly.

Current Exploits (Now)[ | ]

Failure[ | ]

Returning to the Yokai to face the Trial of Ascendance, the Cyberninja failed. Exiled until they regain honor or achieve death, they seek redemption in the Fringe.

Ronin[ | ]

The Cyberninja's experiences among the stars led them to reject the Trial of Ascendance and the Yokai. Banished by their clan, they liberated the family heirlooms on the way out. They serve who they wish.
This background grants a Rare Accessory & 25 Credits.
