Appearance

Physical Description

A man in his early 30s with a delicate stature and andrgyne features could well be seen as a bizarre work of art. His everyday attire resembles that of a japanese schoolgirl uniform, even if it is not traditionally black and white, but in a striking neon green and purple. Fishnet stockings cover the vulnerable areas between the short skirt and the long leather boots with their large buckles. Måneskin wears his hair long and open, striped, wild and partly matted. The color palette reflects his daily makeup.

Personal history

The young Måneskin has Danish-French roots, but due to his father's work as a technician for various risk tourism projects he grew up between Morocco and Tunisia. He changed schools frequently, but was rarely present. Instead he would often mingle with the locals and listen to their tales. He was a strange child and the children of the other corporate employees living in the suburbs made him feel this on a regular basis. Most of the time he accepted the ridicule and the beating without complaint. However, his life was to change drastically when he stabbed the son of his father's supervisor in the schoolyard in the eye with a shard of glass.

His father lost his job and with it the family income. A new job in the region seemed impossible because the former boss had made sure of that. With their last savings, the family paid for new ID's and a group of nomads to smuggle them to Night City. However, the convoy was attacked by pirates and dispersed. Måneskin got separated from his parents and after reaching Night City, he decided to stay with the nomads because he really did not have any other option.

He started doing odd jobs with them, over time developing a speciality for extortion, awarding him the name Jailbait.

After getting to know the city a bit better, Måneskin dove into various artistic communities and developed an obsession for one particular famous Rockergirl named Soleskin. He started dabbling in music and poetry, eventually awarding him the stagename Måneskin which is, in a way a pondon to his Soleskin.

In a special broadcast, Recording Systems International announces the tragic death of their latest rising star Soleskin after falling from the thirtieth floor. According to the report, it was an unfortunate accident. It is rumoured among fans, however, that Soleskin deliberately dared to step over the railing.

A man in his 50s lies on the remains of a broken glass table, centred on a white carpet. He reeks of sweat, blood and piss. And so does the carpet. A silhouette resembling a snow angel painted in red would have been visible, had someone removed the exsanguinating individual from the intricately woven macramé that adorned the living room floor. A pained whimper dispels the ominous silence as the petite man, dressed in a neon-colored schoolgirl costume crouches on the other man's chest. The one beneath clings just as tightly to the sharpened steel penetrating his shoulder muscle as he does to his deserting consciousness. The above loosens the strap of his porcelain-like mask displaying flawless white powdered skin and delicate ruby red lips that had previously covered the lower part of his face. He flips a cigarette to his mouth and lights it. Then he addresses the blood coughing man.

“Explain to me, how can a rising star fall? Why do you people insist on molding the clay, only to drop it afterwards when you’re not satisfied with its shape? What part of the contract obliges a young girl to give her producer more than her time and image? And do you, Mr. Kyle believe it to be fair, that one can only reclaim their life by means of ending it all together? I really do have so many questions and as the public face of RS International, I hope you will enlighten me!”

The man, realizing what he was in for resists at first but eventually fear overpowers his pride and the coward tells his story to the invader and his audio recorder. He is left alive only to make a public statement after recovering from an accident with a shower rail acknowledging Soleskin’s suicide and the neglected responsibility of Recording Systems International. A week later, Mr. Kyle resigns.

The éclat eventually faded, but the carpet was already stained. And so was the conscience of Mr. Kyle, who was found a month later in his mansion with a bullet hole in his head and his hand on the trigger.
