Editing Tom Wilcox (section)

=== Cyberpunk ===
In this universe, Tom sports cybernetic legs enhancing his skateboarding prowess, operating under the moniker “Skr8Collie10” on Bark Pack. Alongside Aidan, he endeavors to expose TPaw Corporation’s manipulation of Montok, a city within Nethington that skirted national laws by registering its subsidiaries as independent entities.

Tom hacks CityNet terminals using his microcomputer as a bridge between his neck data port and the terminal. However, he grapples with ethical dilemmas and high-stakes risks. TPaw’s CEO, Draxon, covets Tom’s cybernetics for himself, finding them more durable and compatible with his own hardware than his existing models. Saville Cornell, a corgi and Draxon’s reluctant henchman, usually operates from Bridgeport (where Max resides) and patches terminals via OTA updates. He only intervenes if Tom ventures near TPaw’s data centers, where Draxon likely awaits.

Tom encounters Prince Oliver, a restless feline prince yearning for experience amidst newfound trade opportunities and democratization. Their relationship blossoms into forbidden love; Oliver submits to Tom as a demonstration of worth after witnessing his skills against a mega-corporation. In exchange, Tom vows protection, contingent on Oliver aiding in exposing Draxon.

While this storyline started as an extended AI Dungeon scenario inspired by cyberpunk prompts, it proved compelling enough, particularly with the Prince twist adding an optional four-act structure, solidifying Tom’s versatility.
