Since time immemorial, man has sought to make himself stronger, faster, better. From talismans and fetishes, to spells and incantations, to absurd training regimens, to steroids and hormones, all for the single purpose of making him more than human. In the future, and even, to some extent, in the now, will come cybernetics, the replacement of meat with metal, and bioware, the replacement of nature with engineered flesh, implanted after birth.

This scroll is for the collection of all these technologies. Forwards, to the trans-human!

The Standbys

There is a large collection of 'standard' cybernetic systems, common to many cyberpunk and sci-fi games. Some of these include:

(Sub)Dermal Armor - armor bonded to or beneath the skin.

Enhanced Reflexes - Direct increase in reaction speed.

Enhanced Attribute - Direct increase to any physical attribute.

Cyberlimb - A mechanical replacement for any given limb. The limb may be combat lost, or deliberately sacrificed.

Replacement eye/ear - Computerized eyes and (inner) ears. These may carry a wide variety of enhancements

Reinforced Skeleton - Bones stop breaking so easy.

Cyber-blades - A variety of blade or claw weapons, occasionally retractable.

Cyber-guns - A variety of concealed firearms, contained within a cyberlimb, or very rarely, the mouth or eye.

Jacks - A variety of plugs, jacks, and other sets for interfacing with other hardware.

Comm-rigs - Cellphones in your head! And other similar tools.

Cranial Bomb - Self explanatory. Usually, someone -else- has the trigger.

There are other common systems as well, and these should be described sparsely.

GoldenEye Laser Targeting System

A complex combination of targeting cyberware and communication system, the GoldenEye Laser Targeting System allows the designated leader of his squad to paint a target dot on the vision systems of his squad. The squad may individually target this selected firing point, or they may allow the computer systems to auto-aim at the target for them, though this is never done with quite the same effectiveness as a trained marksman. In any case, a high degree of firepower concentration is possible with this system, much more so than without.

CS-Alchemist Biofactory

Generally used to replace/supplement the bodies own supply of bioactives, this unit allows for production of a staggering array of drugs - both medicinal and recreational. It draws its power and raw materials from the user's bloodstream. It has a capacity of several hundred formulations and the onboard storage and processors can be upgraded.

Edit:

This could eventually be quite possible!

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/09/070904151359.htm

Taste modifier - controls the output of taste buds, so one can choose the food to taste in any way desired. Typically used by astronauts and others with boring food. With some training it is also possible to do a baseline chemical analysis, and detect some more common poisons.

The "wetware" / "godware" upgrade - a serious refurbishing of the mental functions of a brain; something even the most 'enhanced' people of the future rarely dare. It improves the mental capacities, makes thinking easier by getting rid of the influences of emotions, and generally improves the efficiency... in some jobs. On the downside, those who are not driven insane or just die become less creative and strangely less human. This is a _very_ experimental procedure, not just a plugin.

Paladin Medical Assistance Unit

The first precursors to the 'Clerics' were simple biomodifying chips, implanted to aid hormonal production, oxidation of tissues and removal of toxins. They could make people, perhaps not superhuman, but definitely act to the maximum of their abilities, with correctly setup bioware increasing the life expectancy quite a bit.

The control freaks developed the systems even more, to intricate structures analyzing the body and intervening at need. Few would take the whole package, but the basic units are widely spread among the population. Then, some nameless army medic, gods bless him, took one out of interest.

The deeper insight into his own body he received, was coupled with the sensors for checking the bodies of the fallen. Still it was not always enough, so after a few more battles, he ordered another overhaul.

He still carried the medkit. But now he could directly inject chemicals from his own body, whatever was necessary, locally produced at ideal temperature. He could infuse his comrades with his own blood, adapted to the recipient. Implanted surgical tools were tried before, here they found the ideal combination.

It took one joke about paladins laying hands on to christen the whole package. It became a staple for the field medics of every standing army.

Good and Bad

- it can produce close to any bodily chemical, organic or not, and transport it into the body of a recipient

- the health-preserving mechanisms of the user are fully operational

- with a little wiring of instincts or medical sensors, this service can be offered to others

- it does not hinder in battle situations, it marginally helps and sometimes can greatly help (disabling opponents, etc)

- the medics often fall to the unhealthy fascination with their own body. It is too interesting not to notice how it all works.

- it is perfectly possible to kill yourself by draining too much other materials out of yourself... speak of sacrificing your own flesh and blood for your comrades

- large scale use requires external resources, when it becomes easier to just have that medkit at hand
