## Biography

### 2023

Junior is born on August 20 at Night City MedCenter the night of the Arasaka Headquarters Bombing. His father, Joboi, claimed that Junior being bored is what caused Arasaka Tower to explode, because he was born to bring down the corporate bullshit that made life so hard for people in Night City. He was also born with six digits on his right hand, which was seen as an omen that Junior was going to be healthy and perfect as, according to the Joe Boys religious beliefs, the world was created in six days.

### 2030s

Junior was put into a good school Downtown by his father, but had to come home to learn about the games the Joe Boys were running. It was a life filled with contradictions, but Junior thrived in both school and on the streets.

### 2043-2045

Joboi is shot and killed at Parque del Mar in South Night City by Red Rings gangers. The Joe Boys declare all out war on the gang and tensions are high on the streets. Junior takes on the role of gang leader and starts directing the gang to hold the ground they have, namely the Blue Exstacy night club and hotel.

### 2046

Junior gathers up a group of gangers and some hired on punks to raid the Astral Sea, a night club in Megabuilding H3, to find the fixer Grease and zero him. He is joined by Blank, Krystal, SpOtLiGhT, Striga, s u g a r, and Tark. The club is taken over by the Joe Boys, but given to the Valentinos as tribute to the larger gang to allow the Joe Boys rights to continue operating in South Night City and to get help dealing with the Red Rings.

Regarding the minor backlash Junior received from members of the gang, Junior was reported to have said: "I don't mind the Valentinos. We can get along fine. They love drinking, fucking, and are gonna stand up for their friends when shit goes sideways. Dad would've rolled with these motherfuckers and I'm not about to fight people for no fucking reason."

### 2049

The Joe Boys crush the Red Rings in an all out fight in Megabuilding H2. The leader of the Red Rings at the time, Marc DeLavine, is found on the roof of the Megabuilding by Junior and a handful of his crew. Junior offers to fight Marc one-on-one in a boxing match, during which Marc tries to pull a popup pistol and Junior rips his cyberarm off. He then throws Marc off the building, later standing over his broken body in the middle of the intersection of Benko and Skyline South.

### 2050s

The outbreak of the major "bird flu" in 2051 caused a lot of folks in Night City to just up and leave. Junior saw the migration as an opportunity to strengthen his position in South Night City. The Joe Boys started cleaning up the area and Junior used a large amount of the gang's funds to buy a piece of property out from the owner's wife, as the owner passed away from the flu. This property was dubbed Bulwark and Junior intended it to be a hub for people to come and get what they needed to live in a one-stop shop. Vendor corporations flocked to the prospect of low rent and a market hungry for their products. The neighborhood of Wellsprings begins to form in South Night City, with a lot of moneyed investors coming into the area to take advantage of the safety and community present there.

### 2077

Junior is currently one of a handful of gangers who can call Sebastian Ibarra and have him show up without question. He remains tight with the Valentinos, and his small gang operates specifically in Wellsprings alongside Valentino gangers, keeping the streets clean while doing what's needed to keep the people of Wellsprings safe.
