Welcome to Day 3 of #RPGaDay2026. As I explained in my Day 0 post, I’ll be creating NPCs based on the day’s prompts and the week and day modifiers presented in the infographic below. Check out that post for further details.
Today’s combination: Poise (Prompt) + Intellect (Weekly Modifier) + Fair of Face (Weekly Modifier) + Cyberpunk (Genre)
Here is today’s NPC.
Alecia “Nova” Seins (Fantasy Name Generator used for the name: Cyberpunk (nick)name generator)
There are endless rumors about Nova’s origins, but they all contradict each other. Whoever she was before breaking into the city’s entertainment scene is practically unverifiable. Only her birth name, Alecia Seins, and the fact that she was born in the broken-down rural wastes of the interior could be gleaned from a leaked detention bulletin once shared on the Net. While her history has been scrubbed extensively, those two facts remain.
She originally represented small-time acts for corporate interests but soon branched off as an independent producer, making a name for herself in unsanctioned taverns and underground dance halls. In these dangerous circles—often controlled by the Yakuza—she held her own. Always unfazed and projecting absolute poise, her sharp intellect and quick wits kept her safe. She quickly built a network of contacts throughout the city’s unofficial circles, turning the information she gathered into her primary currency.
Today, Nova still represents some of the most famous non-corporate up-and-comers, holding court at her eponymous dance hall. There, she highlights the cream of the underground crop, some of whom have even managed to cross over and become corp-stars. She is known just as much for her cunning as her looks. While her true age is a closely guarded secret, she appears far younger than she should; she is undeniably fair of face, though her beauty is heavily augmented by surgical enhancements, some of which are rumored to be far deadlier than mere cosmetic upgrades.
Renowned for her unmatched business intellect, Nova now serves as a premier information broker, go-between, and trusted contact across the neon-lit underworld.
