Mythical Figures and Beasts must be a creature or person from ancient historical myth or legend. No book/movie characters.
Made-up Superheroes and Original Supervillains means they have to be 100% designed by you, no pre-existing superheroes/supervillains like Superman/The Joker. Create your own!
Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre focused on "high tech and low life," advanced science such as cybernetics, hackers, artificial intelligences, megacorporations, technology used in unexpected ways and tends to be set in a near-future Earth, which has gone through a breakdown of cultural and social decay. Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir and detective fiction.
"Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body." – Lawrence Person
"Cyber" was derived from cybernetics, a control theory that studies, for example, human/machine interaction and is often used in connection with information technology. "Punk" was taken from from punk rock music, suggesting an urban anti-establishment sensibility.
Cyberpunk is a form of speculative fiction that deals with a high-technology future. Cyberpunk is almost never happy, and usually leaves the reader in a 'life sucks' mood. . Cyberpunk is a warning as to what might happen in the future.
Films that deal with cyberpunk theme: (please help me with more examples this is all i could think of xD)
-Blade Runner
-Johnny Mnemonic
-The Matrix
Cyberpunk is about expressing (often dark) ideas about human nature, technology and their respective combination in the near future
In summary, think about what technology would be like in the near future, but the future is also bleak and terrible with social disorder.
