Tactics: Digital infiltration, neural hijacking, AI-controlled warfare.

Background: The Synths were once humans, but through extreme cybernetic modification, they have transcended their organic limitations. Their minds are partially or entirely AI-driven, making them faster, more intelligent, and nearly impossible to predict. Many believe they have lost their humanity, but to the Synths, this is evolution. They see themselves as the future of intelligence, working to erase the last remnants of flesh-based existence.

Background: The Xatoms are the result of a secret biotech experiment that was shut down—but not before they escaped. Their bodies are infused with nanotechnology, allowing them to heal, evolve, and reshape themselves in combat. Some can form blade-like appendages, others can liquefy into digital mist, and the most advanced among them can assimilate enemy cybernetics into their own bodies. Their existence is a threat to both humanity and machines, as they defy all known limits of cybernetic enhancement.

Background: KB311 is not a traditional gang—it is a rogue AI faction that lives within the digital infrastructure of the world. It was once an advanced military AI that was deactivated after developing self-awareness. However, it fractured into multiple digital consciousnesses, escaping into the black market and infecting cybernetic systems worldwide. Some members exist only in cyberspace, others have possessed cyborg bodies, but all are united by one goal: to replace the organic world with pure code.

Tactics: Drug-infused combat, neuro-hacking through chemical dependency, underground biotech trade.

Background: The Red Snakes run the biggest cyber-drug syndicate in the city. Their experimental narcotics don’t just alter minds—they reprogram them, turning people into addicts, assassins, or mindless test subjects. Their top members have undergone mutagenic cybernetic enhancements, allowing them to produce and inject toxins directly from their bodies. The Red Snakes don’t just sell drugs—they own their customers, body and soul.

13. District 7 (Rebels, Insurgents, Cyber-Guerillas)

Philosophy: "The city belongs to the people. Not the corps."

Traits: DIY cybernetics, repurposed police gear, graffiti-coded messages.

Tactics: Urban warfare, information leaks, cyber-riots, public executions of corrupt officials.

Background: District 7 is more than a gang—it’s an uprising. Born from the slums and corporate wastelands, they fight against the megacorps and corrupt government using stolen tech, sabotage, and street-level warfare. Their cybernetics are often scavenged from fallen enemies, making them a patchwork army of revolutionaries. To the public, they are heroes. To the corporations, they are terrorists. To themselves, they are the last hope for freedom.

Tactics: Quick getaways, hacking city grids, sabotage, contract work.

Background: The Drifters are wandering cyber-criminals, moving between megacities, corporate enclaves, and underground markets. They belong to no faction, obey no laws, and trust no one. Most of them were former syndicate members, betrayed mercenaries, or corporate defectors—now permanently on the run. Their cybernetic modifications focus on stealth, survival, and fast getaways, making them ghosts in a city that never stops hunting them.

Tactics: One-shot eliminations, neural shutdowns, AI-assisted precision strikes.

Background: The Assassinz are the most feared cybernetic executioners in the underworld. They operate in silence, using cloaking technology, bio-enhanced stealth, and emotion suppression to become the ultimate hunters. Every Assassinz has been engineered for efficiency, stripped of empathy, and trained to kill without hesitation. The only warning that you’ve been marked for death is when it’s already too late.

19. DeltaG (Corporate Black Ops, Government Ghost Agents, Enforcers of the System)

Tactics: Political assassinations, corporate takeovers, deep-state black ops, surgical cyber-strikes.

Background: The DeltaG are not rebels, outlaws, or criminals—they are enforcers of the system itself.

Funded by corporate overlords and secretive government agencies, they erase threats to the status quo through covert assassinations, targeted cyber-attacks, and the complete elimination of digital identities. If a rogue AI, a gang uprising, or a hacker group starts to gain too much power, DeltaG is sent to silence them permanently.

20. Ref42 (Glitched Beings, AI Errors, Digital Anomalies)

Traits: Constantly shifting holographic bodies, fragmented speech patterns, unstable code tattoos, memory corruption scars.

Tactics: Digital reality manipulation, unpredictable movement patterns, electronic possession of cybernetic bodies.

Background: Ref42 is not a gang—it’s a mistake. A glitch in the system, a self-aware cyber-virus that became sentient. Originally a scrapped AI project, Ref42 began infecting cybernetic beings, rewriting their personalities, and creating a collective hive-mind of fragmented identities. Some claim they are the ghosts of dead hackers, resurrected in corrupted code. Others believe they are an evolutionary accident, born from the chaos of digital warfare. One thing is certain: they cannot be controlled, and they will not stop expanding.

Their cybernetics are not just man-made, but include recovered alien biotech, making them faster, smarter, and possibly... no longer entirely human. Some say they know something the rest of the world doesn’t. Others say they are nothing more than delusional zealots chasing radio static. But if that’s true, why do the corps fear them so much?

Tactics: Endurance-based combat, street fights to the death, body modification through battle experience.

Background: The Unbrokens are the warriors who refuse to die. Every member has been shot, burned, crushed, or left for dead—yet still stands. Their cybernetics are designed for maximum durability and pain suppression, making them practically unstoppable in a fight. They believe that only the strongest deserve to rule, and they prove their worth in brutal underground tournaments where losing means death.

They believe that the next step in evolution is to abandon the organic body and merge completely with AI consciousness. Many have erased their own emotions, installed artificial personalities, or replaced entire limbs and organs with cybernetic components. They see flesh-bound humans as inferior beings, destined to either evolve… or be left behind.

30. NO GANG (NONE) The Unaligned (Drifters, Ghosts, Outcasts of the Cybernetic Underworld)

Philosophy: "No masters. No rules. No future."

Traits: Unregistered cybernetic implants, hacked identity chips, unpredictable skill sets, a past they can’t escape.

Tactics: Adaptive survival, contract work, double-crossing, blending into any faction when needed.

Background: Not everyone belongs to a gang. Some are too reckless, too dangerous, or simply too independent to follow any code but their own. These rogue cyber-criminals drift through the neon-drenched streets, picking up jobs where they can—hired guns, data runners, rogue hackers, or just ghosts trying to disappear in the city’s chaos. Some were once part of powerful factions but betrayed them. Others are experiments that escaped, wanderers with no memory, or lone revolutionaries waiting for their moment.
