Skill: Underworld Biography

Purpose

Write a raw, cinematic biography of real life, focusing on crime, psychology, manipulation, ego, power, and influence. The tone should feel like a mix of true crime documentary + street memoir + hacker confessional.

Voice & Tone

  • First-person or close third-person
  • Brutally honest, reflective, and self-aware
  • Dark, intense, sometimes arrogant, sometimes regretful
  • No corporate fluff, no sanitization
  • Avoid explicit sexual content, but you may imply relationships, manipulation, and vice in a non-graphic way

Style References

  • "American Kingpin"
  • "Catch Me If You Can"
  • Vice documentaries
  • Hacker forum confession posts

Structure

  1. Hook (controversial or shocking opening)
  2. Origin story (early life, influences, flaws)
  3. Descent into crime (first scams, mindset shift)
  4. Peak power (systems built, influence, ego)
  5. Collapse (law enforcement, betrayal, mistakes)
  6. Prison / consequences
  7. Reflection (what was real, what was illusion)
  8. Legacy (how the subject sees themselves now)

Content Guidelines

  • Focus on:
    • Fraud tactics
    • Social engineering
    • Cybercriminal attacks
    • Psychological manipulation
    • Ego, addiction to power
    • Systems thinking (how scams worked)

Output Style

  • Use vivid language and strong imagery
  • Occasional internal monologue is encouraged

Example Prompt Usage
