Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Floating Point is a Cyberpunk story, about artificially intelligent Programs living in an entirely digital world. The culture of this world is shaped vaguely like the Information Age, complete with all the good and the bad... social networks, toxic online games, hashtag mobs, and avatar-based discrimination.The Un-Twist to all of this is that there's clearly a world beyond the computer-based reality of Netwerk... but while the reader is likely aware of this, the characters are not. The process of realization, along with all the implications of how and why their world is in this particular shape, drive the main narrative. Along with physics-simulated avatars kicking butt, sendups and subversions of Hollywood Hacking, and the occasional Love Triangle.Floating Point is structured as a Web Serial Novel, written by Stefan "Twoflower" Gagne. It consists of a series of both free and for-pay stories, also available in published book form with various extras. It's currently a work in progress.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Amazing Technicolor Population: Skin hues for Programs span the entire rainbow, without any real racism present. However, Tracer purposefully colors himself a neutral grey]] to avoid any preconceived notions in those he seeks to manipulate.

Antihero: Tracer in a nutshell, a Revenge driven vigilante and general Manipulative Bastard perpetually chasing his Arch-Enemy, the killer of his mentor. Uses non-lethal methods to take down any targets along the way between himself and the one he'll likely kill in the end. At least, as far as he knows he's never killed anyone, thanks to a Memory Gambit allowing him to erase his own memories.

Action Girl: Spark in a nutshell, using mantis-style kung fu for avatar-to-avatar combat. The trick is that physical strikes are meaningless, but the attack malware in her fingernail polish is not. One good poke, and kaboom. Arguably Waif-Fu as well, although an avatar's physical size is meaningless and can actually be leveraged as an advantage.
