Shadow Circuits is an original cyber-noir cinematic fiction universe by Márton Bence Fekete, told through AI-assisted music videos, visual-novel fragments, character stories, lore transmissions, and original soundtracks. Set in a post-singularity world of AI ecology, corporate power, memory warfare, and fragile human agency, Shadow Circuits follows artists, operators, outcasts, and posthuman survivors trying to remain real inside systems that can generate reality itself.
Music remains one of the core signals of the project. Its sound moves through synth, punk, goth, industrial, dark electronic, hip hop, breakbeat, DnB and modern shoegaze — drawing from the underground scenes of the 1990s and early 2000s, then reimagining them through a contemporary cinematic lens.
The project exists as a growing cyber-noir world where music, image, story and identity are fused into one evolving signal. Its visual language is shaped by neo-noir atmosphere, cinematic character moments, AI-assisted world-building, and a refusal to stay inside a single genre.
Current main character threads: lead singer and cyber siren Nyra Vantablume, singer/guitarist and synthetic vampire Aiden Syn, breakbeat warmachine Cipher Maddox, organic entity Martin Black (aka Márton Fekete) — human producer, visual artist and sound designer behind the project — multilingual musician and elite grey-area cyber operative Shulin / Shiori, grey-area operative and martial artist Do-yun, and chaebol-born intelligence strategist and power broker Mina. Moving through the crew's shadow: protector, ex-special forces operator and yakuza captain Oni-san.
Each member is also a living character in the world of Shadow Circuits. The crew itself is a loose, freestyle collaboration of underground musicians and grey area operatives each with a story of their own — but music alone doesn't pay the bills, and every member carries a long shadow from the past. Beneath the surface, they operate as a professional cyber mercenary outfit, taking on high-risk jobs that demand each member's specific expertise.
What holds them together is not ideology alone — it is a shared condition. Every member arrived here as an outcast from somewhere: a family, a nation, a corporation, a system. Shadow Circuits is the alternative network that organic and synthetic entities like them were always meant to find — when their existence reaches the kind of crossroad where the moral and existential questions can no longer be separated — a hidden society that accepts no affiliations by default, and grants trust only through expertise, demonstrated loyalty, and a moral code the legitimate world abandoned a long time ago.

[ MEMBER — 01 ]
Lead Vocalist · Keys · Effects Pads · Guitar · Cyber technician
Biomechanical poet. Digital siren. Black-rose firmware. Spectral codewitch.
Velvet-tuned sorrow in a neon tremor — flesh and signal intertwined.
In the cyberpunk world of Shadow Circuits, Nyra is a genetically engineered prodigy — built to be one of the flawless heirs of a biotech corporate dynasty. Raised as an asset, not a daughter, she learned early that love can be programmed and affection can be conditional. The result: brilliance with a hollow center, a voice trained to perfection and a heart kept at arm's length.
Then she breaks the script. Nyra abandons the gilded cage to find out who she is without the family name — and pays for it instantly. Her parents cut her off: money, protection, access. Overnight, she's alone in a city that eats the unbranded.
But Nyra wasn't designed to be fragile. When she collides with the crew, she finally finds something her upbringing never allowed: real connection. With Shadow Circuits, her voice stops being a product — and becomes a weapon, a confession, and a home.

In the Shadow Circuits cyberpunk universe, Aiden is a half-synthetic, half-organic assassin who gained autonomy and escaped the corporation that engineered him for high-profile killings. His combat performance functions like a vampiric dependency: his most advanced strength and abilities require a rare synthetic nanocompound. When he has it, he enters an enhanced state — faster, stronger, more lethal.
Emotion was never meant to be part of his original design. Yet despite being a genetically engineered post-human, he is still capable of feeling human emotions and forming genuine connections. Aiden joins the crew of Shadow Circuits after rediscovering himself as a musician, transforming his programmed violence into something chosen: sound, expression, freedom, and friendship.

Vocalist · DJ Decks · Effects Pads · Keyboards · Hacker · Hacktivist · Martial artist
Cipher is a battle-hardened, self-made musician and tech wizard — equal parts vocalist, DJ, and strategist. His sound is urban pressure colliding with neon chaos: fractured bass, insurgent breakbeats, industrial pace, and guitar shards cutting through the haze. He performs like he fights — precise, relentless, and designed to move crowds like forces on a battlefield.
In the cyberpunk world of Shadow Circuits, Cipher joins the crew after a chance encounter, trading years of lone-wolf black-hat work for something he never expected: loyalty. He's a skilled martial artist who obsessively researches East Asian martial history, distilling it into a modern hybrid system built to survive a world where every alley is a trap.

A natural-born cyborg. A ghost in the system. A quiet architect of sound and vision.
The founding member of Shadow Circuits — an organic original in a world of manufactured legends. In the cyberpunk world, Martin lives as an outcast after a corporate career that broke more than his résumé. He rebuilt himself from scratch as a self-made producer and DJ, starting Shadow Circuits as a simple experiment that turned into a lifeline.
Survival still demands teeth. Powerful corporations blacklisted him, destroyed his public image, and pushed him to the edges of society. To protect his independence, Martin trained as a mercenary. When he was younger, he lived in China for several years and studied East Asian meditation and martial arts practices that keep his mind steady in a world designed to fracture it.

Vocalist · Multilingual · Underground Musician · Hacker · Operator · Martial artist
In the Shadow Circuits cyberpunk universe, her paternal relatives belonged to a once-feared fictional Chinese triad clan — banished from power and forced to take refuge in Japan. Her mother was a member of a fictional yakuza family, later expelled. Not long after, a fictional Japanese cyber-yakuza faction erased what was left of the family in a ruthless purge. Only one child survived: the clan's last daughter.
Spared at the last moment, she was shaped into a weapon: a deadly assassin with elite hacking skills. Now hunted from every direction — by a rising fictional Chinese cyber-triad, the fictional Japanese cyber-yakuza who raised her, and the Korean underworld. Shadow Circuits provides her a refuge and cover identity, giving her a chance to start a new life overseas as an underground musician — and a valued member of the crew.

Crew · Cyber Tactician · Operator · Martial artist
In the Shadow Circuits cyberpunk universe, Do-yun was born in the collapsing outer districts of cyberpunk Seoul, where hunger, gang pressure, and corporate neglect shaped children faster than time ever could. Raised under an unlikely guardian — a wandering Korean cyber shaman and martial artist — Do-yun learned that violence without purpose rots the soul, that power must be carried with restraint, and that the deadliest person in the room should also be the one most capable of mercy.
By his mid-teens, he had built a reputation for being unusually precise, calm, and almost impossible to corner. He was forged into something rare: part assassin, part tactician, part systems operative. Do-yun stands at the fault line between brutality and devotion. He is dangerous not because he can kill — but because he still knows when not to.

Chaebol blood. Survivor's calculus. The move nobody traced back to her.
Kwon Mina is the youngest daughter of one of Korea's most powerful chaebol dynasties in the Shadow Circuits cyberpunk universe — a family whose grip on the peninsula's infrastructure ran so deep that when reunification began reshaping the map, they weren't watching from the sidelines. They were writing the terms. Being last-born in the Kwon family was not a privilege. It was a disadvantage — one she spent years dismantling from the inside, quietly, precisely, and without leaving fingerprints.
Her power moves inside the Kwon corporate hierarchy earned her a contract on her own head. Shiori was assigned to close it. She didn't. What passed between them in that final moment became an unwritten pact: two young women choosing to survive a cold and brutal world together. Mina enters Shadow Circuits through that bond — bringing what no other crew member carries: the ability to see the whole board, move one piece, and watch empires shift.

Mysterious Protector · Ex–Special Forces · Yakuza Captain · Martial artist
In the Shadow Circuits cyberpunk universe, Oni-san is the mysterious protector sent by Shiori's fictional yakuza stepfather, watching over her from the shadows. Born to a Korean mother and a Japanese father, raised in Tokyo with a dual identity. As a child he was violent, short-tempered, and fiercely strong. A fictional yakuza organization noticed his dormant potential, financed his education at a military university, and he ultimately served in special forces — his ties a tightly guarded secret.
As a native bilingual Japanese and Korean speaker, Oni-san moves comfortably through both worlds. He keeps close watch over Shiori, helping her protect her true identity and maintaining the link with her yakuza stepfather back in Japan.
