I love that programs find hobbies/jobs outside of what their creators designated for them.
Tron, a security program but also in love with sports and games
Shaddox, an architect but he’s a bartender as well
Paige, a medic but she wanted to be a musician and she’s currently in the army
Beck, a mechanic but he goes beyond it and fights too
Programs aren’t beholden to their programming. They can and will go beyond that. As a hobby or as a job or as an ambition. They have free will.
Yori, driver for the digitizing laser who spends her leisure time on fashion and home decor so fabulous that it’s literally illegal
Ram, financial calculator whose other talents include fancy disc tricks, cooperative vehicular homicide, and being a slut
(I fkin love them all)
