Cyber-Psychics / Puppeteers
High-tech mystics who treat the Net as a living astral plane, invading cybernetic minds without a trace. They command Puppets - living autonomous AI task-runners - and Totems - magical objects of ritual power.
They started as nomads: lone netrunners drifting through the grid. CEO Mr. Space-Field pulled them out of solitude and forged them into the Code-Shamans - an organization with a boardroom face and a mind-war doctrine. He sits as CEO. Oracle Net-Seer keeps watch inside Net-Space itself, entangled with that plane where cyberspace and the user's mind fuse into one. Supreme Puppeteer designs and refines the faction's main Puppets, both inside Net-Space and out in the meat world.
Puppets are living autonomous AI task-runners - agents with faces and wills that serve their masters. Totems are magical objects: charged astral relics and ritual anchors you plant or summon to rewrite the fight - instruments of power.
They don't smash firewalls. They slip into chrome minds through violet astral static, rewrite intent with whispered totem-code, and leave no clean forensic trail. Rivals see chrome. Chrome sees gods. The Shamans see both as editable code - and they are the ones holding the strings.
Summons and Buffs - Totems, mind control, battlefield alteration.

CEO Mr. Space-Field rose through Code-Shamans's inner circle as more than a figurehead - a living mandate etched into Neo-London's turf wars. In the districts haunted by violet astral static and whispered totem-code, their legend sticks to wet pavement. Their ledger is written in influence, currency, and the quiet terror of those who still believe the city has laws.
