Cyberware in YOU, ...nowadays, in this world Options

[Alric Flaim]

Jeez....my list is pretty big.


DataJack (Hey I'm a computer geek)
100 mp headware memory (more geekyness)
Image link (mmmm see the geekyness)
Math SPU (I'd love to do math that fast)

Bioware too!

Enhanced articulation (my knees are shot)
Diet ware (I love food, hate dieting)
Symbiotes (same reason)
Trauma Dampner (My one exercise involves being hit with sticks)

Yup, that's what I'd get.

[Warmaster Lah]

As expected Headmem and the datajack are the most popular. As they should be, since they provide benefits in many job professions, Doctors for example. I expect that many in shadowrun would have a little cyber.

The usual would be cool for me, and would provide an instant boost to what I could do as an engineer.

Probably Headware mem.
Datajack (More for rec. use really)
Imagelink
Enhanced Articulation (mechanics and typing)
Sleep Regulator (I sleep about four hours a day now anyway. I'd be good to get all the rest I need.)
Pathogenic Defense


-For Fun
Digestive Expansion (I'm always eating varying degress of wierd stuff, It would be good to add to the list.)
Toxin Extractor (^_^)
Nephritic Screen
Scent Glands ( I'd like maybe cherry flavored sweat)
Horn Implants ( If I was some punk on the street. Those reverse sloped horns are attractive)
Maybe a shockhand or Chemical Gland

[John Campbell]

Datajack and image link. That's it.

Then I'd get all the other fun toys in external versions and run them DNI through the datajack.

My desire to keep the parts I was born with aside, there's definitely something to be said for not having to go under the knife in order to upgrade.

[Alric Flaim]

Yeah, SCA heavy fighter, just not of late. School (again) N' lack of funds has kept me outta armour...for now.

Strangely, some people don't seem to mind the consequences of having visible cyber-ware. That seems pretty strange, because it would really set you out as a freak.

As well, some people really took a lot of bioware. Aren't you aware that getting bioware increases the number of times you get sick? (since it increases the chance of disease). I don't know if I'd want to be sick all the time, just for really smoking muscles.

You notice that some people like the augmented physical abilities, but a lot of people like the augmented mental abilities?

I'm more of a mental ability person, myself.

Though, you COULD get a tricked out cyberarm, and then sell it! Heh. On today's market, it would be worth an absolute fortune! Would you lose an arm (temporarily) for billions of dollars? Yeah, me too.

[BGMFH]

Synthetic cyberforearm
-internal SMG w/clip port
-internal gyro mount

Headware router
-Datajack
--Headmem
--Retina Mod Image link
-Orientation system
-Spatial Recognizer
-Internal Transducer

Wired 2 w/Step Trigger

Refillable Autoinjector with selections of Jazz and Kamakaze and Nitro hooked to DNI control.

Oh, and some Bonelacing, Strength augmentation, and symbiotes wouldnt hurt, I am going into the Marines to be a Machine gunner.

Like most others here, i would want enhanced articulation (cloned, of course), an INDUCTION datajack and headware memory, skillwires at a decent level, some cosmetic bioware (won't go into exactly what...that'd reveal too much about me :grinbig:), mnemonic enhancer, low grade muscle replacements and maybe a vehicle control rig 1. Now...if I could just get all that in deltaware :grinbig:

But...thinking seriously... I'd be wary of anything connected directly to the brain. I'm not all that comfortable with someone poking in there...

So, practically, the enhanced articulation would be a godsend, and I wouldn't mind a guardian angel biomonitor coupled with a nano-symbiotes system. Add a trauma damper to that, plus aforementioned cosmetic bioware and some phenotypic alteration. Then eventually some age rejuvenation treatment and maintenance sessions. Oh, and retinal lowlight vision and flare compensation. And I would want the now non-existant(?) version of muscle replacement they had in the Tir na nOg sourcebook. :elims:

[Phylos Fett]

Enhanced Articulation (my knees are really stuffed)
Muscle Toner 4 (I want to be really quick)
Datajack (Why not?)

Maybe an area-Cortex Bomb, linked to a Biomonitor - When I die, I wanna go out with a bang! :D :grinbig:

[MrSandman666]

Thanks for the Info, krishcane! I'm really looking forward to whenever I'll be able to afford LASIK. It must be such a great feeling to wake up in the morning and being able to read the time on the alarm clock standing next to your bed... (right now everything further away than about 20 centimeters vanishes in a blur...)

Unfortunately though, I need the operation for both eyes, as they are equally bad.

[Fygg Nuuton]

sleep regulator for my terrible sleeping problems

enhanced articulation to fix all the problems with my joints

balance augmentor because im not the most graceful person

if i could afford it, low level MBW

i would get a cyber forearm, to keep computer memory and other goodies

SKILLWIRES! and all they can get, i'd rather learn knowledge, but i want to woop booty with minimum training, also, im a terrible driver

also all the sense mods i could think of

titanium bonelacing, spurs, smartlink, muscle augmentation at high levels!

wee! i actually have no problem becoming half machine

[El_Machinae]

[Ghostly Enigma]

Umm lets see datajack, headmem 100mp(Dictionary and other cross referencing software), imiage link, tranceduser, head Radio, cybereyes (imag mag 3, IR, Low light, utrasound, Micro 3), forarm replasement( cyber deck, GPS, 1GP mem), oritation system, and a Balance aug with balianceing Tail just for the hell of it. :spin:

[Phylos Fett]

I know it's not in SR, but I think an increased bladder would be an option I would take. The number of times I've been drinking at a pub, and had to go to the toilet over and over again is ridiculous...

[MrSandman666]

@krishcane:
What do you mean, it's scary? eing able to see? And what about the discomfort? Is that due to the operation and the healing process and therefore fades away after time? Could you please elaborate? Thanks.

[The_Sarge]

Umm... You mean 'El_Machinae', quiaff? ;)

There's some reasoable priced "athletic enhancement" stuff nobody has mentioned. I'd love the "extended volume" breathing enhancement. Unfortunatley, I've already got some nasty "stress points" on my cardio system, which would make "synthacardium" a no go unless the replace all the associated plumbing as well as beefing up the pump. Hell, such theraputinc repair / augmentation (especially if possible without open heart surgery) would maybe save (and greatly improve) my life some day.

Balance augmentation would be fun as well.

Why bother with these fairly mundane things? Despite my health condition, my favorite athletic hobby is extreme mountain biking, and bicycling in general. You can never be to fast, to fit, or to agile.

Then again, competative cycling tends to view "enhancement" as a mortal sin, and I doubt other recreational riders would be amuzed at some vat-job blasting by them on the road / trails.

Most other stuff I'd prefer a wearable version, I think, or would have no real use for.

[Abstruse]

Datajack
Multislot Chipjack
Headware memory
Low light vision retinal mod
Image link retinal mod
Suprathyroid Gland
Cerebral Booster
Mneumonic Enhancer
Enhanced Articulation
Sleep Regulator
Balance Augmenter
Ears with filter and recorder
Encephalon
Math SPU
Dietware
Age Rejuvination ready for me when I reach my 40s

I'm not a confrontational person nor am I particularly violent, so I have no real need for anything combat related. All the headware is pretty much because I'm a writer, therefore being able to quickly process ideas and store information would be incredibly helpful. And being able to multitask your thinking would really speed along editing and re-writing. Enhanced articulation and balance augmenter are because I'm a friggin' clutz :P The ears are so I can go to a concert and record what I hear, record negotiations or conversations to use them later, etc. Plus I can use the filter to not have to listen to stupid people. The Suprathyroid is because I have a slow metabolism as well as the dietware. The age rejuvination is pretty obvious -- who wants to get old?

And honestly, I don't give a good god damn who knows I have cyber. I'm already a freak as it is. Now I'll just be a freak they'll leave alone because I have something metal sticking out of my skull. Plus I'll have linguasofts so I can insult them in 4 different languages simultaniously :P

The Abstruse One

The whole "permanent stress" factor of bioware would probably turn me off.

However, the protein upgrades from SotA have a lot of appeal.

Provided of course I could muster the 60k per operation.

And, of course, boosted reflexes. Why? I dunno...it has a certain fundamental appeal.

[Hot Wheels]

Probably low light vision and optical enhancments for "zoom"
and a chip jack, so i could just slot lingua discs and speak any language I wanted.

[hobgoblin]

alltho in a very flat way hot wheels. you will get your message tru but dont try to read poetry :)

[Kagetenshi]

Cyberware: Math SPU 3, Datajack, Transducer, Hearing Amplification, Dampening, High Frequency Mod, Low Frequency Mod, Select Sound Filter-5, Spatial Recognizer, Balance Augmenter, Flare Compensation, Electronic Eyemag 3, Display Link, Microscopic Vision, Retinal Clock, Ultrasound, Jolt Alert (never oversleep again!).

Bioware: Enhanced Articulation, Muscle Toner-4, Muscle Augmentation-2, Mnemonic Enhancement-3, Sleep Regulator, Synaptic Accelerator-2.

Yes, I like to load up.

[edit]And if you notice, only the datajack is visible (I'd get it in the base of my skull, probably). As for bioware, I'm probably relatively unlikely to do anything that involves getting stress points, and you don't get sick that hugely much more. Then again, I can't really say if it's worth it, as no one has had any experience with this.
