That sounds fun, could also include drinks that come with "favors".

or a punch-hole ticket... fuck this many people and you unlock a harem orgy with staff members where your the guest of honor

[LEROZERO]

Yeah! Could be in a back room or a vip booth!

It would probably have to be specific staff, like bartenders and waitresses because you can't really spare a bouncer in a club...

Well, my characters have none of that. I saw the cyberpunk and understand the meaning of augments buuut. I am not sure what character could just have cyber stuff like network plugs and etc. It's all ideas I've already seen from the cyberpunk series itself and I don't wanna copy. Also, don't really wanna do what Val'halla characters did.

I don't have a cyberpunk work but I did have a dark city. It was based on fantasy more than science fiction, though. Characters I had back there probably would not fit here. I mean, I do have some possible choices but they are not mutant-ish like what I've seen in cyberpunk styles. What characters I have may not exactly fit the setting.

A way i found to make this easy was to pick a role, figure out what kind of tool would help that roll, and integrate it into their body, maybe find an alternative version so that integration is not only good for one thing.

For example my character is going to have fingers that double as bar taps, with her breasts being internally padded to... exapand well she stores some booze... to make it a little more fun her breasts leak said booze when her nips are stimulated :3 whole little ecosystem of cybernetics integrated there!.

Maybe you want to play a singer? Incorporate a microphone directly into her throat and some speakers in her body, instant performance anywhere she is. Moans on surround sound anyone?

A mechanic? Aside from her multitool hand she has a roller board integrated on her back, letting her slide into tight spaces effortlessly, its also quite fun to get pounded missionary with your entire body sliding around with each thrust :3

tldr you take an job, pick something they use for the job, cram it in, you have cybernetics  :D bonus points for finding... alternative uses<3

[LEROZERO]

Yep! All it takes is knowing what you wanna do, and then you can build off of that!

[Warning]

Yeeeah, no. I don't picture any of my characters wanting to mess with their own body for semi-features. I get that in cyberpunk in general, lot of "people" seem to make very terrible or otherwise pretty questionable choice when it comes to their body. (And people do that IRL too) but I wanna stick to something a bit more natural and/or normal?

If I have a robot, it will not have questionable features either. I might sound boring with that choice but I can't really see myself pick otherwise. The Cyberpunk look is great but I'll leave the oddness of the messed side of it to others. And I was a fan of Gunnm (Battle angel alita), Valhalla and etc. At least on the visual, Bastet or Arish kinda work well.

I know Gunnm had a good representation of "Just get augments to become more of a super human or cyborg" but I also saw LOT of messed up stuff on that side. Ghost in the shell also went pretty wack on that side. Sooo. I'll try to aim for something a little more low profile. Even an android/AI with designed features for their role might fit more.

well if body enhancements isn't your thing, have you considered an artificer route... or specifically a individual that improves them selves with just gadgets  not ingrained into their body. like an inventor or engineer of some sort?

[LEROZERO]

Yeah! Could lean into the whole "Go-go gadget" level of technology!

[Warning]

Inspector gadget is considered a cyborg in his series, in case this is not entirely clear. He's basically a half human at this point because his body is comprised of all the gadgets he uses. I don't see it as very different from what we were talking about. It's all the same "Changing your body so it use technology to do something you normally can't".

The way Inky makes it sounds can be interpreted as more subtle, though. Like, a chip or something. A character of mine somewhere does have such a feature in order to do something she normally can't. She IS taken in another roleplay but yeah. It's complicated though. This opens the door to SO many choices if I decided to go more complex.

I'll admit cyberpunk has never been my roleplay style either (Despite enjoying a couple of stories I've mentioned before). Like, I really enjoy Rebecca but I doubt I'd ever be able to pull this kind of thing on a character of mine. Then there's cyberpunk himawari. (Yes, I know the real character is obviously not her but she looks so alike. It's insane)

[LEROZERO]

Not inspector gadget, more like...Tails! 

Constantly tinkering away at stuff to improve his combat ability instead of cybernetically enhancing himself.

In this case, like you said, it could be a specific chip or something that allows her to do specific things that most cant.

[Warning]

Tails is fair. He's a genius inventing plenty of things and devices. I do have female Tailsia in Troubled Souls, just saying. Sadly, can't use her here. :P

For what I believe to be cyberpunk, I have to aim for edgier, darker, more science fiction. So far, only Bastet applies. Or maybe Arish or Warning...

[LEROZERO]

Possibly! There is also idols and stuff, so edgy can happen or you can be just slightly unhinged. Up to you!
