GM-only: Ray (GM)
Ray Null? Everybody's heard of Ray Null! Best class smuggler, he can get anything from point A to point B, as long as its both points are in the EEC. Forgeries, nuclear parts, tons of SynthCoke, you name it, he's sold/bought/traded it! Also, he's backed up by one of the toughest Families around: the Nolascos. Only problem is, he's got a bit of a temper, that Spanish Revolutionary blood in him - he's skyrocketed his fame with the stunts he pulled in Liverpool, holding an AV in the sky near the MI6 headquarters as Jack Entropy sung his revolutions from the side doors.
Out-of-character: Emy, what are three things anyone who would do a bit of digging on Ray Null find out about him?
- Wanted by the Interpol since 2015. Mandate renewed in 2021.
- Sentenced to death by the UK.
The British Combined Forces have an open contract on him: Dead or Alive.- Is a public enemy of Maelstrom.
What are three things you'd like The Crew and other viewers of G-man's Cyberpunk to know about Ray Null?
- He views himself as an anti-corpo Che Guevara: anything from edgerunner groups, to boostergangs, to crime organizations, he wants to unite them against corporations in a grand revolution.
- He's a big proponent of 'work hard, play hard', but with a Eurosolo twist: after a gig he can be found enjoying a bottle of natural wine (stolen from a corpo who can afford it), reading a e-book on leftist theory, maybe romancing an output (speedware salsa, anyone?).
- His favored tactic in gigs involves his internal holster, an AR and infiltrating the middle of an enemy crowd. At that point, his bad temper is the driver to his success: nobody expects autofire coming out of a tuxedo!
Sum up in a few words Ray's relationship with The Gang.
If he lives after fulfilling his dream of starting a revolution, Ray will write a book of leftist theory based on his experiences. In it, he will describe Hex as the exemplary archetype for the New American Edgerunner: screwed by the system he tried building himself for, using the skills developed by his corporate society to build a new life, Hex isn't only a hired gun or a box of tools. He is creative, cooperative, and when the situation calls for it, deadly. He owes his life to his deuteragonist, and he considers him part of 'su familia'.
If he doesn't live, then surely Ze will be the one to write a book about him. Initially, he didn't think much of her: just a Media sent by a Fixer to record their exploits. After a few gigs, Ray noticed that Ze wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty, and that made him respect her. This, coupled with the fact that she is the one who records his words and actions, makes her into a prime candidate for the role of voice of his revolution.
