Family

Finally got the chance to draw some minor characters who are pretty damn important to my Merc crew's backstories and stuff.

These three are all luckily still alive! Andrea is a Spanish diplomat, Alfred an Arasaka consultant and Harriet is a Architect. Hector's only really close to his grandmother as his relationship with his parents is... Strained. Especially since he lost his job at Konepki plaza, but since they live abroad they don't bother him much.

Jin's parents are just a blurry memory. Her sister basically raised her as they were dumped in the badlands together as kids, but when she stumbled upon an Arasaka secret and hoped she could sell the story, she was murdered and left Jin an orphan who found her way back to night city, and to the Mox. Kit is a mechanic who works for the Mox, and had a thing for Jin for ages but Jin being oblivious never really noticed. They end up dating later into the story, though Hector's a little iffy with them at first.

Amara's parents :(. Amara comes from a wealthy militech family, though her parents were assassinated when she was only 12 years old to aid in a cover-up for some illegal activities the corp had gotten them wrapped up in. The reason she's so emotionally attached to Hector is mostly because he looks, and acts a lot like her bio dad, whereas Rudy is similar to her mother.

Much later on in the story when she starts her professional wrestling + boxing career, she meets Rina Hoshikawa at an UsCracks concert. Rina is an Jpop idol with a "decora alien" aesthetic, and later with the help of the crew they help her out of her manager's shitty contract and the two start dating as she tries to build a solo career, using modelling for Hector's fashion brand as a jumping off point.

Vincent's parents!! He came from a nomad clan with decently strict parents and a younger brother. He left to start his life in night city (much to their dismay) but does visit every once in a while. The gang actually do a few jobs for his brother at one point, who is a mechanic.

Rudy's family!! They're all alive and the most prominent in the story lol. Mama Juarez is a bleson night city and constantly looks after the crew the best she can. His dad is a former militech man with a ion for rock and roll music. Rudy's cousin, Octavia, however, is a high-ranking official with Militech and the two do not get along, especially not about his relationship to Hector who's former arasaka affiliation is hard to hide.
