NINGNING VOGUE+

CYBERPUNK 2077 X AESPA: ARMAGEDDON

Enter Seoul City and begin running havoc, away from mad scientists, mercenaries, dirty cobs, and all the worst criminals New Asia has to offer. Do you have what it takes to survive? 

Cyberpunk 2077: Armageddon takes place in Seoul City, a megacity in New Asia plagued by corrupt governments and gang violence. The story begins when local gangster Minhyung “Child” Lee of the devious NCT gang breaks into the SM laboratories to steal a secret biochip in order to sell it on the black market. The plan goes awry when Minhyung is fatally shot by SM’s security officers, but as his final act he sets the biochip ablaze. From the multicoloured smokes, there opens a portal to Kwangya, an alternate universe which mirrors Earth in everything, except all its inhabitants are equipped with superpowers. Four girls — Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning — manage to walk through the portal before it closes: it’s the Aespa group, the most feared and lethal gang in Kwangya. SM is determined to send them back to Kwangya and keep the two universes separate forever, but Aespa have other plans — they want to make Seoul City their own. 

DOSSIERS:

KARINA: Leader and oldest member of Aespa, Karina grew up on the mean streets of Kwangya by herself, offering her superspeed abilities to the highest bidder and earning money as a mercenary. Don’t let her pretty face sway you - Karina is known as the most lethal criminal in Kwangya and has a stack of bodies behind taller than herself.

WINTER: Karina’s right hand man, Minjeong “Winter” Kim makes up for her quietness and shyness by being the most lethal and cold blooded killer in Aespa. Thanks to her ability to foresee the future, she is able to always be on step ahead of her enemies, making her an indispensable friend and a formidable foe.

GISELLE: Despite being the daughter of a high ranking prosecutor in Kwangya, Giselle is no friend of the law. After being thrown in jail at 13 years old for destroying a school with her telekinetic powers, she has spent most of her teens behind bars, before breaking out and joining Aespa to get revenge.

NINGNING: Don’t be fooled by her angelic face and sweet demeanor, Ningning is actually one of the most feared criminals in Kwangya thanks to her superstrength and infamous short temper. Albeit being the youngest member of Aespa, she has quickly made quite a reputation for herself as the perfect weapon.
