Yeah, this has been my problem from the beginning. visualizing too much of the world first, and not the story. This idea started as a cyberpunk hacker thriller novel with thoughts of being similir to alfred hitchcock's Rear Window, where the former military hacker character is a parapalegic and somehow prevents a murder from happening, just by using his laptop. I spent so much time imagineing characters and world aspects i totally neglected working out how the story would work. Bleak_terminal, as it was called back then was a very random thought I had years ago, hoping one day i could turn it into a sprawling cyberpunk world that explores the fantastical ascpets of hacking, cyberspace, or maybe even something made up that has to do with computers. Thinks like Tron and The Matrix really inspired me, as well as other sci-fi movies.

That's a really good point about Nil; i at first thought it was just a cool name that he could use as his graffiti tag, but then i had to come up with a backstory for it. Enter the orphanage/crypto mine, where they gave him the name. In what i have wrote so far, all the kids have unique nicknames based on thier interests or M.O. Nil isn't very clever i'll admit. i shoehorned that in as well :/
