Cyber Age - Cybernetics

A sample of cybernetic augmentations available in the Cyber Age.

Cyber Age - Cybernetics

In Altered Realms cybernetic enhancements come in two varieties:

1. Wearables, which are sometimes referred to as Exo-Mods or Kits. The heavy use of such Mods is often called being “Decked Out”. Wearables are more common but can be costly depending on their function. They can range from anything from a replacement bionic leg to an augmented reality Heads-Up Display (HUD) display. Some, but not all Exo-Mods are only accessible to the wealthy or those covered by insurance during a loss of limb or bodily function. Many Exo-Mods, commonly referred to as "Eco-Mods" are marketed to the middle and lower classes as affordable alternatives to the name brands. They are often not as functional as the real deal, but can still be useful for a chip-head on a budget. Anyone and everyone could be decked out with some Exo-Mods, they're fun, trendy and popular. Much like the accumulation of clothing or gadgets, Exo-Mods can often become an obsession for certain susceptible individuals.

2. Implants are sometimes referred to as Endo-Mods or Augments. The heavy use of such implants is often called “Going Cyber”. Implants are definitely the more uncommon and hardcore of the two varieties, as surgery is required in every case. In addition, even though modern materials have decreased the risk of rejection, the body or mind can have difficulty coping with the loss of self, replacements and the forming of new connections that were not part of their original anatomy. Implants are typically offered to those that have no other options, as replacement limbs or organs. Otherwise, they are sold by dark market dealers and surgeons who care little about the survival of their patients, so long as they pay up front. The average person wouldn’t know where to find an Implant Shop, much less be able to gain entry without having the right connections first. Hardcore mercenaries, gangsters and mafias are the main purchasers and users of such augmentations with very few exceptions. The abilities and enhancements associated with cybernetic implants can often cause individuals with such mods to become more aggressive and compulsive and can often lead to an addiction to cybernetic implants and the new sensations and powers they can grant.
