Cyberia Collectors’ Card #8 Pat

#8 Pat
Pat’s late lover Pistol Pete. This is the only other image we have found relating to the Pat character.
We’re not completely sure what this is. However, it’s likely to be sketches for a fictional cocktail commercial. Give Me Head Productions had studied the tiny amount of Cyberpunk-style movies and tabletop role-playing games available in 1988. While they got most other things wrong, they believed that making futuristic commercials was crucial to world building and immersion. You can learn more about this by reading around the various megacorps.
The Pat character from the video game Neon Nights in Cyberia

“I might look like a Texan lapdancer from the Anal-World, but I can complete most medium difficulty crossword puzzles in under an hour.” –Pat

District: The Pleasure Strip.

Occupation: Head waitress at the Flying Arm Bar which is located on the suburbs of The Pleasure Strip. It’s a rough and ready establishment which attracts gas junkies and crusty punk rockers. The place reeks of old leather, ball sweat and hangover vomit which, for the regulars, is all part of the charm.

Pat is respected by everyone, largely because she is the only other master of poke jitsu in Cyberia (Mr Knuckles is the other master). At least three of the playable characters in the Cyberia Universe want to marry her including Roadkill Boondocks escapee Tosh. However, her heart is still broken after her last non-Sap lover’s hard drive failed and he developed digital amnesia. After the funeral he was left at an abandoned trailer somewhere out in the desert.

Owed to working in a particularly rough and toothless bar, Pat is also well connected with the Pleasure Strip underbelly. She is good friends with celebrity drug dealer and nocturnal party machine Booboo who also lives on the Strip. Owed to his circle of odious business acquaintances, he often finds himself in hot water. If it wasn’t for his charm and Pat’s loyalty, he would already be dead several times over.

But Booboo has recently got himself into serious trouble with the nightclub and casino owner Hanz. This might prove to be way above Pat’s stations. However, she will talk to some people and see what she can do.

Preferred Weapon: You would presume the Hog-Master, but you would presume wrong. Pat’s weapon of choice is the Liquid Whip which “cuts through flesh and bone like it’s wet toilet paper”.

Favourite cocktail: The Sneezing Nitro which is a brutal concoction of superchillie ghost sauce, fermented swede vodka and a sprinkling of firefly wings.
