That entierly depends on your next choice in creation.
After all... Depending on how it goes, we may be in the grey, illegal, or legal.
And oh boy... that's going to be something.
So it's really all your choice.
...Will there be downsides to a lack of moral restrictions beyond having to resist the temptation to not pay taxes and not being stopped from doing stupid illegal things?

Depends on if you get caught.
Because in certain scenario's... It could lead to prison, death, slavery... or fates worse than death.
All I can say is people can get very creative.

So it sounds like there aren't penalties beyond the inherent risks of doing illegal actions.

I have been summoned via the power of money, capitalism and king Midas himself time to get so rich we can drown in it.

> []The Modern World: You inhabit the Modern World Silly, it's not like there is anything worse than a world that is going mad, and while the haves and have-nots are entirely based on where you were born, it does not matter. You are going to claw your way up from this hole. Hopefully, without screwing up. (You are in the modern world)
> []A World of Crime, and Corporations: So you live in a world that is not like our own, of course you do, it's your world, not a world of fantasy. Unfortunately, you learned from a young age that this world is made up of those corporate scum bags that really own the world. There is no justice, not really anyway. The only way up is, to quote the legendary Scrooge Mcduck, Be smarter than the smarties, tougher than the toughies, and make it square. Now if square just happens to be at a barrel of a gun, then so be it. (Welcome to the bog standard Cyberpunk Dystopia)
[X]The Frontier: Space may be the final frontier, but this place was the final frontier. The Rim, the ass end of the Galaxy. The Human alliance was really trying to see if they could colonize this shit hole of a planet. Unfortunately, the last ship from the earth and any other colony, and the last thing, was over a century ago. Means you are on your own now. (Enter a Rimworld-like Planet on the periphery.)

Hard to decide between making frontier megacorp, or beat dystopic corp...by taking over one of them or even making our own to outcompete them from zero.
But for now:

So a Dystopic Corpo bullshit is where you seek out your fortune.
that's fine, most people have greater desires than that, but joining the oppressive system that entirely swallows people whole, and does not care for them...
Wait no need to make things too weird by reminding you about what you already know. Doesn't matter, after all, this is your story. And how you make money in it.
So get ready chum. We have plenty of time to rumble in this jungle!
Who Are You? (Even though it doesn't matter, as you are poor, no one cares about Poor people):
[]Write in
What do you look like? (No one will care about what you look like, after all You are Poor):
[]Place Image here
And how old are you? When you found yourself in this situation:
[]18: Well Fuck, 18 years old and now utterly kicked out of your home, without barely any warning, because your parents were assholes. You have nothing, no bank account, no home, and now, no support. The only thing you have is a high school diploma and your grit. Good luck. (Begin with only one skill set to competrnt, but, you are young, with a lifetime ahead of you to learn and grow, and have the ability to choose your own congenital (Genetic) trait)
[]21: Well it was a shitty way to end your free ride, on a bender that fucked you up. But soon, things only just got worse. Because now you are out in a city where you do not know anyone, and now, you have to make your way in the world. And that is terrifying. (Begin with Two skillsets to competent, and one that is skilled. But you will start with a random good and bad trait)
[]40: It was a poor bet, at least that is what you keep telling yourself. You thought that everything was going to be alright if you just waited, and be going with the flow. But your youth is gone, and now you are old. Old, and now, poor. And alone. (You are old, but you begin with all skill sets set to Master. But your years of bad habits have left their mark, and now you suffer from a disease that is slowly killing you.)
Choose your Ability to Make Money (this also implies the level of dubiousness in your actions):
[]Legal: You are going to make your money square. After all, the government can only take so much. And the Corps can't buy your soul. At least you think.
[]Gray: It seems you like living on the edge, doing the things that aren't exactly legal... but it does pay... If you survive of course. Turns out Grey Market and those that run it... well, they have difficulties.
[]Illegal: Hey, with the entire world being run by criminals... What's one more criminal in the lot?
AN: Enjoy and vote in plan format.
