What is Cyberware?
Cyberware encompasses all technological devices surgically implanted into a metahuman body to enhance abilities, ranging from improved vision and data access to combat enhancements like armored skin and retractable claws. Every piece of cyberware has a manufacturer, a product name, and often a model number to identify its power and quality.
Naming Your Implant
When selecting a name for a piece of cyberware, consider:
- Which megacorp manufactured it (e.g., Renraku, Evo, Saeder-Krupp)?
- What is the core function (e.g., Armor, Augmentation, Lacing)?
- Does it include a model or series designation (e.g., Mk III, Series 9, Delta-11)?
- Does the material or color appear in the name (e.g., Aluminum, Blue)?
- Is it Alphaware, Beta, or Delta grade?
