How can I write an mc without clear motivation at first

I am writing my first script at times to get my sudden burst of creativity out because when I keep em in I feel weird. It’s a bit like sopranos but set in a cyberpunk world. The mc is at the begging a foot soldier for a low level family. I kind of want at first to have some fun adventures and dilly dallying around with his crew at the begging but from the YouTube essays I watched when I was a little younger a character without a motivation and a story without a clear goal is not ideal and it gets boring and confusing for the audience. Should I find a smaller over arching goal for now till things advance or can I just put some sprinkle some characters moments around till I think of something? Open to any advice even basic stuff I don’t really know what I am doin

Kid lowkey my goat

I really fk with Kidd I mean other than the usual “his luffy with no plot armor agenda” he lowkey a dawg. He looses and takes a beating constantly but always bounces back. He got the furthest first with nothing but resolve and he never ducked smoke. The show kind of makes a point of us rooting against him by portraying him as cocky and placing him against shanks one of the most beloved and benevolent characters but just the fact that everyone is against him and even the fandom slanders him and the only thing that he can do is run the fade despite the outcome just makes me wanna root for him more
