Writing practice #7
A character
A serial killer in a cyberpunk world: he seeks out those with implants. He transplants each new victim's modification into himself, with the help of black market surgeons(they obviously know the mods are illegitimate but don't know the source). The patchwork nature of his implants means he needs to dev all his own firmware integration patches, and he sells new whole body oses to street samurai(whose limbs might as well be detachable) and other underground clients, who might not be able to afford new implants of all the same brand. He doesn't crave perfection, but change. His face changes at least once every three months, and his eyes never match each other. His downfall eventually comes when he targets a modified dancer for her bioluminescent semi controllable hair. Unknown to him, she's an agent for one of the mega corps, and each of her implants are far more advanced than they seem. Before he can even find and deactivate what should be normal tracking chips, the hair breaks his neck.
