An amateur netrunner in their early twenties lives a subsistence lifestyle in their apartment. They sell information about the interesting (and abundant) people who live in their poorly-secured housing block.
One day, they grow fed up with petty drama and cheap food. Deciding to pry further into some of the more risque individuals, they proliferate a number of seemingly innocent, unconnected, private details for quick cash. From there, they go from watching callously as someone's panic becomes serious as people start to quietly die, and a search begins for the one who leaked the information: our netrunner. Their life, as a result, spirals out of control and they must run for their life.

Reply to [PM] Give me prompts to help me think of some character and plot ideas. I'm looking to write a Cyberpunk story without being too derivative of the series I'm watching right now (Cyberpunk Edgerunners). Bonus points if the prompt includes something to help make the world unique and different. by SorryUncleAl
