Welcome To Cyberstash

Elsie “Dusty” Echoes was once a child of luxury, living high above the Chrome Coast in her father’s lavish penthouse until a brutal ambush tore her family apart, leaving her orphaned, wounded, and forgotten. Manipulated into loyalty by ePower Enterprises, she rose through their paramilitary ranks before discovering that the corporation had been scouring her memories for a hidden secret connected to her father’s past. Betrayed and disillusioned, Dusty fled under the cover of night, finding refuge and purpose with the Outback Bush Rangers. Now a hardened sniper patrolling the rugged borderlands, Dusty fights to reclaim the freedom stolen from her and erase the lingering shadows of her past.

Dalia “Dolly” Hood is the last surviving child of the infamous outlaw leaders Pagan and Mary-Ann Hood, founders of the Hoodless gang. Raised in the chaos of the outback, Dolly grew up amidst highway heists and violent raids, idolizing the gang’s rebellion against authority. But when her parents were killed in an ambush, the Hoodless turned on each other in a brutal power struggle, slaughtering her siblings and forcing Dolly to flee. Now, years later, Dolly has returned to the Chrome Coast, her body augmented with chrome and her mind consumed by revenge. She’s tracked the remnants of the Hoodless to a train yard hideout, intent on eliminating every last member of the gang that betrayed her family. Enlisting the crew’s help under false pretenses, Dolly’s vendetta will take them into the depths of the bush, where blood and sand collide.

Yusuke “Inari” Akazawa was once a proud member of the Crimson Ronins, an elite crew of mercs operating out of Japan, hired by corporations to wage brutal battles in the shadows. That all changed one night in New Ginza, when an ePower-funded mercenary unit annihilated the Ronins in a slaughter that tore through the city’s streets. Yusuke, the sole survivor, was left broken – his body rebuilt with cybernetics, his spirit driven by unrelenting vengeance. Over the years, he hunted those responsible, and his path has now led him to the Chrome Coast. Captain Ike Stuggart, a man who barely remembers the massacre, lives in safety under ePower’s protection, but Yusuke intends to finish what was started – no matter the cost.

Desperate to see his mission through, Yusuke turns to Taiichi, who calls in the crew to assist in the assassination. With little time and no room for error, the crew must navigate Sovereign Island, locate the hidden bunker where Ike is hiding, and decide whether they’ll stand with Yusuke or against him when the moment of reckoning arrives.

Keiko “P0MP0M” Pomeroy grew up immersed in the glamorous yet hollow culture of the Chrome Coast. With a father in the OzFarm Conglomerate and a mother as a Japanese fashion model, Keiko leveraged her parents’ connections to craft an image blending Japanese idol charm with Western e-girl aesthetics. Starting as a game and music streamer on the OzNet, she quickly expanded into dangerous real-life stunts amplified by cutting-edge cybernetics, captivating a massive audience. Her rise to fame took a dark turn during a livestream when she brutally killed two LED-Heads attempting to kidnap her. The incident, caught live in front of tens of thousands, transformed her into a cyberpunk sensation but left her haunted by her actions. Fans saw her as a vigilante hero, but inside, Keiko felt herself cracking, her bubbly persona masking a growing darkness.

When ePower Enterprises scanned her mind for a virtual assistant project, Keiko’s life spiraled further. Missing memories, emotional detachment, and dissociative rages began to take over, blurring the lines between P0MP0M’s influencer persona and a feral, violent reality. Streaming on unregulated OzNet nodes, she systematically hunted LED-Heads but increasingly targeted innocent bystanders in her madness. Now hunted by the authorities and lured into a deadly trap by the LED-Heads, P0MP0M teeters on the edge. Desperate, her mother has turned to Taiichi, pleading with him to send a crew to rescue Keiko – or stop her before she loses herself completely. But even if Keiko survives, her mother knows the daughter she once knew may never return.

Kimberley “Possum” Harris grew up in the Granite Belt, working alongside her father in his mechanic shop in Warwick. Life took a tragic turn when an accident in the shop cost her a left arm and leg, forcing her father to spend their savings on cybernetic replacements. As financial strain and guilt consumed him, Possum and her brother Neil took over the struggling business at a young age. While trying to keep the shop afloat, Possum discovered her father’s involvement in smuggling weapons and drugs, a dangerous side business that drew the attention of the Red Belly Biker Gang. When her father refused to pay their extortion demands, the gang killed him in front of her, igniting a deep desire for revenge.

At sixteen, Possum left Warwick behind and tracked the gang to the Chrome Coast. She settled in a rundown apartment and found work in a local garage, all while gathering intel on the gang. Through a bar called The Link, she connected with the city’s underground network of arms dealers and mercenaries, steadily building the resources and allies needed for her mission. Fueled by grief, guilt, and a relentless thirst for vengeance, Possum prepared to dismantle the Red Belly Biker Gang, determined to make them pay for what they had done.
