As Promised, Heres My BARGHEST Netrunner, Kerberos! Think Youve Met Some Real Assholes In Dogtown? Got

As promised, here’s my BARGHEST netrunner, Kerberos! 💥 Think you’ve met some real assholes in Dogtown? Got no idea…

I doodled these instead of sleeping

More Kerberos ‼️ he’s so fun to draw!! Plus some info abt him I’m very obsessed with him rn :p

Kerberos isn't his real name, of course, just a netrunner alias, but his real name is nearly impossible to dig up. He's made sure of it. Once upon a time, he worked for Militech, as a part of the team attempting to revive Cynosure. While attempting to breach Cynosure's datafortresses, Kerberos was noticed by a rogue AI that had broken from containment and was brutally attacked, brought to the edge of death before being hospitalized. But he was hardly safe there. The revival was ultimately a failure, and Netwatch soon caught wind of it all. In a man bound to a hospital bed, they saw an easy target, but Kerberos wasn't going down without a fight. In his already dire state, he heavily overclocked his cyberdeck to kill the agents sent to assassinate him. A second brush with death, and yet he persisted. Netwatch backed off, and Kerberos spent the next 3 years recovering and dodging further assassination attempts until Dogtown was founded. A perfect opportunity. Among Hansen's ranks, Kerberos found himself invaluable with his knowledge of Cynosure, though the knowledge alone was all he would offer, refusing to be physically involved with anything the Colonel had planned.

Few have ever seen his face behind the mask. His two brushes with death left him looking less than presentable, and the shame and fear of his past have left him wishing he could leave that face behind all together.

Definitely expect to see more of him soon lol

SIGHTHOUND

Alright, I can give you all a little Garnett lore now >:)

Garnett grew up at the foot of the badlands dam, in a little neighborhood ever-consumed in the smog of burning trash. At 17, along with his brothers Adrian and Gabriel, Garnett joined 6th Street and served with them for almost a decade. He joined 6th Street with aspirations of protecting the community he knew as family, but was met with a gang like any other. Extortion, drug manufacturing, theft. He stayed to be by his brothers’ side as long as he could force himself to, determined to stay with the only family he had left, but finally left after being ordered to kill a shopkeeper who refused to pay for 6th Street’s “protection”. The soldiers he’d served beside beat him half to death for what they dubbed cowardice, and with nowhere else to turn, he went to Dogtown, where Colonel Hansen nearly finished the beating 6th Street started. But Garnett was more than determined to prove himself. A man with his combat training and experience with the public was accepted into BARGHEST with open arms, excelling through training and taking flight as a soldier. He started out in the Prevention Unit, a seeming fit for a former militia member, but Garnett’s prowess was wasted there at the gate where a scanner did all the work. He was eagle-eyed, attentive beyond belief and quick to react. Briefly he worked as a sniper with units collecting airdrops, quickly moving up to working security in the stadium, and after 2 years, Garnett would find himself in the Black Sapphire’s own sniper nest. From there on top of the world, he hardly realized how far his aspirations had gone astray. Once aiming to protect his community, he’d become a guard dog for the rich and powerful. And soon, it’d all be ripped out from under him. 

Sorry for the novel, I'm deranged about my ocs lol. Garnett's one of the protags for my PL side plot, so there'll be a lot more about him to follow!! I'm gonna be doing a little diagram of his tattoos and cyberware next, and I'll include some more facts about him for fun. I'm so obsessed with my ocs apologies in advance.

WIP whenever!!

@ouroboros-hideout tagged me for this! Tysm!!!

I haven't got too much in the works currently, but I do have the lineart for a piece I'm working on currently. In a previous post with some npc shots, I mentioned having an oc based around the sniper commando in the nest at the Black Sapphire (the one you beat the shit out of lol). This is him! Garnett "Sighthound" Cross, BARGHEST sniper, and one of the protagonists for my Phantom Liberty side story shit I have with my gf. Kerberos is also part of his storyline, and I have a few other ocs for it as well, all that I'll post about in time. He's def one of my favorite ocs to draw but I'd be lying if I said the Rasetsu isn't a pain in the ass to draw lol. I'll write a bit more about him whenever I post the finished piece ^_^
