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 spans two vastly different realms—Azeroth and the Cyberpunk 2077 universe—united by an unwilling magical exile. Born in Year 12 ADP in Stratholme, Azeroth (circa 2049), she was raised by her father, Edwan Bradley, a rogue renowned for his crimson scarf, and her mother, Estella Bancroft, a revered alchemist. Her early years were shaped by a pact with *The Fiend*, a patron granting her warlock powers, until a fateful contract to eliminate a Warpweaver—a rare, forbidden mage harnessing teleportation and cross-realm links—turned against her. In Year 36 ADP (2073), during her hunt, the Warpweaver ambushed her, banishing her unwillingly to Maine. Four days later, Gwendolyn Palerose, her steadfast 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 brutal, disorienting plunge into a world she never chose. Stripped of her warlock powers by the Warpweaver’s betrayal, she landed in a desolate coastal wasteland, her elegant attire shredded and her father’s red scarf her only tether to home. The first six months were a relentless survival struggle—scrounging for moldy rations in abandoned warehouses, dodging roving Maelstrom gang patrols, and enduring malnutrition that left her gaunt. A chance encounter with Jax Harrow, a grizzled medic scavenging medical supplies, saved her life after a gang ambush left her wounded. Jax taught her the rudiments of cybernetics, igniting her curiosity.
Desperation drove her to steal. In late 2073, she infiltrated an Arasaka outpost, hacking Marcus Vex, a negligent Corpo executive, by exploiting his unsecured retinal scanner during a late-night meeting. The heist netted her enough credits to fund essential implant-compatibility surgeries by early 2074—a necessity to survive Cyberpunk’s implant-dependent society. These initial months forged her resilience, setting the stage for her transformation.
Rise as a Netrunner
With implants installed, Ellienore’s latent potential surged. By mid-2074, she immersed herself in Maine’s digital underbelly, mastering netrunning through 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-flashing raids. This victory attracted enemies—Kael Draven, a rival netrunner, swore vengeance after losing a lucrative contract to her. Isolated by disbelief in her Azeroth tale, Ellienore nearly succumbed to despair until Lena “Shadowlink” Kade, a fixer she’d aided on small jobs, offered hope in 2076. Lena, a wiry veteran with a cybernetic eye, whispered of a portal expert in Night City. This sparked the “Neon Exodus,” a perilous cross-continental trek. In the Badlands, she evaded Rykard Thorn, a Militech bounty hunter, using a stolen AV-4 hovercraft to outmaneuver his drones, arriving in Night City by late 2076 battered but determined.
Founding Apothecary Inc.
Night City’s neon sprawl tested Ellienore’s resolve. Her search for the portal expert unraveled into dead ends—corporate spies, false leads, and a near-fatal ambush by Kael Draven’s crew in early 2077 forced her to adapt. Instead, her passion for technology blossomed, rooted in her alchemical heritage. In a derelict warehouse, she coded The Mender AI, a breakthrough that outsmarted Draven’s sabotage attempt with a counter-hack that fried his rig. By mid-2077, Apothecary Inc. was born, 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. Her company’s rise made her a target; a 2077 raid by a Tyger Claw gang, thwarted by her spectral ally, solidified her legend.
Reunion with The Fiend
In December 2077, The Fiend reemerged, restoring Ellienore’s warlock powers. This fusion of magic and cybernetics peaked during an Arasaka data heist, where her spectral guide disrupted Kael Draven’s team, saving Apothecary’s core servers. This victory elevated her to North America’s netrunning elite, blending arcane finesse with digital mastery.
