3.3 - Cyberware
Alpha State
This game system, and the setting in which it takes place, are both in active development. Everything on this site is subject to change. Please hard refresh pages when you visit to ensure you're viewing the latest versions.Technology has advanced in every known avenue, which includes the advancement of human augmentation and supplemental technology. What began with augmentations meant to support people with disabilities eventually expanded into generalized human augmentation. As the tech improved so did public interest, which came with new demand, and unfortunately corporations were quick to jump on that opportunity.
These days, cybernetic augmentation is as easy as getting a tattoo, and there are so many things a person can do to alter their body that the idea of "your body" has begun to wane. People change their look, their capability, their entire physical structure, and some do it frequently. Some argue this makes us all less human, others say it frees us to be who we want to be. Problem is, we're not the ones in control of any of it.
Corporations sell cyberware, they rent it, they own it. They own the Atom Cloud that powers and connects our cyberware. They own the debt we take on to get it installed. Are we still human, are we less human, are we more human... at some point, these questions become meaningless until we realize we've already sold our souls to the corps for a dream.
