I'm pleased this thread is starting to garner some good faith responses.
Time for a confession, from a roleplayer.
This thread has in part been an attempt to negotiate with what I see as a fickle genie. To get something I must sacrifice something. The thing that I want is for cyberorgans to be integrated into the fiction more smoothly as a thing some people have, like robot arms, from roundstart, to be biomechanical without the gaping concessions to video gameiness. I felt sacrifices would have to be made, and saw an opportunity to generate some more gameplay for an underserved role. I think my suggestions are good, if in need of ironing out and refining, and there has been some effort here to that effect. But yes, my motivation from the beginning has been to make my blorbo a gross little biomechanical yucky girl.
I want white or black blood, I want medbay visits to be gruesome and strange, I want those rare EMP grenades to just fucking kill me. And it does not satisfy this desire to be showing up to robotics every round start to beg a roboticist already overwhelmed by a needy clutch of cyborgs to please do a real quick non-canon surgery to put my character back where she belongs in fiction. Frankly that makes me cringe.
I get a sense that this thread is winding down with a grimacing "thanks but no" from the community, and I'm taking that as gracefully as I can. To be honest I'm pretty bummed out and tired, so I'm just going to lay out my personal minimum for my satisfaction without censoring myself, even if this provokes some pushback.
- Some sort of roundstart trait or traits for biomechanical insides that at the least taints my blood black
- Posing an eyebrow raising challenge for medics to distinguish from other patients
- emps fuck me up
Any version of a biomechanical trait that fulfils these criteria at minimum would satisfy my personal druthers.
