Cyberware is the hardware or machine parts implanted in the human body and acting as an interface between the central nervous system and the computers or machinery connected to it.
Overview[]
Cyberware is technology that attempts to create a working interface between machines/computers and the human nervous system, including the brain.
Cyberware Grades[]
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Cyberware | Mass produced and easy to find. Any street doctor or surgeon should be able to implant this type of cyberware. |
| Alphaware | Cyberware that uses higher quality materials than basic cyberware and is better
constructed. Though repairing said cyberware is more expensive and difficult, at twice the cost. Alphaware is twice as expensive as basic cyberware. |
| Betaware | Cyberware that is custom fitted and adjusted to fit the physiology of the user.
It needs to be special ordered and the user has to undergo a variety of tests to analyze the condition of their body, and submit to DNA screening and chemical tests. Betaware is ×4 as expensive as basic cyberware. |
| Deltware | The rarest grade. The cyberware is custom built for the user and is built out of
the highest grade plastics, metals, and ceramics. While the implant is put into your body the electronics are wired thereby insuring perfect compatibility. Deltaware is ×8 as expensive as basic cyberware and the clinics which have the ability to create and install cyberware are among the most jealously guarded and best protected secrets within a corporation. |
