Calendar Note

The Azeroth Calendar employs the After Dark Portal (ADP) system, where Year 0 marks the Dark Portal’s opening, and Year 16 ADP aligns with the Culling of Stratholme during the Third War. The present Azeroth day is roughly Year 40 ADP (circa 2049-2057 in real-world terms, adjusted to 2077 for Cyberpunk’s timeline via Warpweaver magic). Ellienore, born in Year 12 ADP, was a child (around 12) before the Culling (16 ADP + 12 = 28, adjusted to 40 ADP - 28 = 12 ADP). She arrived in 2073, 4 years before 2077, blending Azeroth’s timeline with Cyberpunk’s setting. Dates are flexible to accommodate roleplay narratives.

Biography

Ellienore Bradley is a 28-year-old woman whose life bridges the mystical realm of Azeroth and the neon-drenched dystopia of Cyberpunk 2077, marked by an unwilling exile. Born in Year 12 ADP in Stratholme, Azeroth (circa 2049), she was raised by her father, Edwan Bradley, a rogue famed for his crimson scarf, and her mother, Estella Bancroft, a revered alchemist. Her early pact with *The Fiend* granted warlock powers until a contract to eliminate a Warpweaver—a rare, forbidden mage mastering cross-realm teleportation—backfired. In Year 36 ADP (2073), during her hunt, the Warpweaver ambushed her, banishing her unwillingly to Maine. Four days later, Gwendolyn Palerose, her devoted partner, followed, driven by desperation to find her. For a deeper dive into her Azeroth origins, see Ellienore Bradley (Azeroth).

Warpweaver Transition

Ellienore’s arrival in Maine was a violent, unwilling rupture from her past. Cast into a desolate coastal wasteland by the Warpweaver’s treachery, she landed disoriented, her warlock powers severed, and her elegant Azerothian garb in tatters. Her father’s red scarf, clutched tightly, was her only solace. The first six months were a brutal survival ordeal—scavenging rancid food from abandoned warehouses, evading Maelstrom gang raids, and battling starvation that left her frail. A pivotal encounter with Jax Harrow, a scarred medic scavenging medical supplies, saved her after a gang ambush left her bleeding out; he patched her wounds and introduced her to cybernetics.

Desperation fueled her first crime. In late 2073, she infiltrated an Arasaka outpost, hacking Marcus Vex, a careless Corpo executive, by overriding his retinal scanner during a late-night meeting. The heist netted credits that funded her essential implant-compatibility surgeries by early 2074—a necessity to endure Cyberpunk’s implant-driven society. During recovery, she etched her first tattoo, a crimson phoenix on her wrist, symbolizing her rebirth. These harrowing months forged her resilience and set her on a path of adaptation.

Rise as a Netrunner

With implants, Ellienore’s potential ignited. By mid-2074, she plunged into Maine’s digital underbelly, mastering netrunning through intense virtual duels against local hackers. Her breakthrough came in 2075 when she dismantled a data cartel’s encryption network, earning the moniker “Red Scarf Phantom” for her swift, scarf-adorned raids. This victory drew enemies—Kael Draven, a rival netrunner, vowed revenge after losing a lucrative contract. Isolation deepened as no one believed her Azeroth tale, and hope waned until Lena “Shadowlink” Kade, a fixer she’d aided on small jobs, offered a lifeline in 2076. Lena, a cyber-eyed veteran, hinted at a portal expert in Night City, sparking the “Neon Exodus.” This treacherous cross-continental trek saw her evade Rykard Thorn, a Militech bounty hunter, using a stolen AV-4 hovercraft to outmaneuver his drones across the Badlands, arriving in Night City by late 2076 battered but unbowed. Along the way, she added a sleeve tattoo of interconnected circuits, reflecting her growing tech affinity.

Founding Apothecary Inc.

Night City’s neon chaos tested Ellienore’s spirit. Her search for the portal expert unraveled into dead ends—corporate spies, a near-fatal ambush by Kael Draven’s crew in early 2077, and a botched meeting with a false lead left her disillusioned. Yet, her passion for technology, rooted in her alchemical heritage, surged. In a derelict warehouse, she coded The Mender AI, outsmarting Draven’s sabotage attempt with a counter-hack that fried his rig. By mid-2077, Apothecary Inc. emerged, a datacenter company healing corrupted data. Securing contracts with Arasaka and Militech, she expanded across the New United States of America (NUSA), launching the Neon Nexus network—a global, neural-inspired system—by late 2077. A Tyger Claw gang raid in October 2077, thwarted by her quick thinking and a hidden EMP grenade, further cemented her reputation. To mark this victory, she inked a dragon tattoo across her back, blending Cyberpunk defiance with Azerothian mystique.

Reunion with The Fiend and Corporate Ascendancy

In December 2077, The Fiend reemerged, restoring Ellienore’s warlock powers. This fusion peaked during an Arasaka data heist, where her spectral guide disrupted Kael Draven’s team, saving Apothecary’s core servers. The victory elevated her to North America’s netrunning elite. Emboldened, she forged an alliance with Viktor Vektor, a ripperdoc, to enhance her implants, adding a neural uplink tattoo on her neck. By 2077’s end, Apothecary Inc. dominated NUSA’s datacenter market, fending off a hostile takeover by Ziggurat Corp. in a tense boardroom showdown, where her magical intuition outwitted their AI. This success inspired a new tattoo—a digital lotus—symbolizing her dual mastery.
