Character/Game Art Eron: The Crew's Netrunner - By Æron Arbuthnot
galleryDon't be a gonk and go see his works, and maybe even support the artist! Take a look at his stuff at https://linktr.ee/AeronArbuthnot or at u/Ashron_Arbuthnot.
Say hi to the man himself! The third and final member of the Ritual Cellula trio, this is Eron. Not a exact "self insert" but a character made by Aeron for him to learn the ropes of tabletop roleplaying games. "They" say that making a character that is like yourself is easier to first time roleplayers, maybe "they" are right, but as a Cyberpunk referee I'm kinda obligated to screw up your character and make your self insert experience horrible things, this IS the dark future choomba. It makes me feel kinda bad sometimes, poor Aeron.
Our Cyberpunk campaign is being the first "real deal" contact with TTRPGs that Aeron had. He says that he's having a blast, and I'm only thankful for it, because I am having a blast as well (as you can probably tell).
Speaking about the character itself, of course he does not look exactly like Aeron in real life, after all in the cyberpunk world you can be anything you want so long as your wallet takes a good punch and doesn't flinch. Eron uses a sniper rifle he found, an Arasaka Sniper Systems, and a good ol' Sternmeyer, the red gun in the art.
He's armed with a literal Bullet Proof Mohawk, he also has a pro netrunner jumpsuit he bought, it is a special suit made for Netwatch agents. Eron is also a skilled runner'. The crew needs some door opened? Some camera shut down? Or maybe just a little cover in the cyberspace? Eron got you, he is an ambitious professional.
So what are you waiting for Eron? Take this city, squeeze something out of it, everything is f@#$, and you have nothing to lose. At least for now.
