On the one hand, that outfit doesn't seem very practical for most things.
On the other hand, if the world is destroyed and you're barely encountering other people... fuck it, I guess!

What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Yeah it's kinda weird, BUT.... the bigger character is at least part cyborg, AND they're headed to a tattoo parlor, presumably to fill in the work on their back.
I'm more disturbed by the lack of tread on their shoes!

Sorry, I just can't stop myself from shitposting sometimes.
That's a level 80 armor !
Reminds me a lot of Moëbius, although this style has really taken off in recent years with games like Sable and shows like Scavenger's Reign. Pretty cool, I like how detailed it is although that sign seems hard to read both here and diagetically, and I find the overwhelming amount of plain blue for the buildings to be a little much.
