What are some unique augment ideas you have? They don't have to be practical but I need ideas.
Was thinking of having a gyroscopic stabiliser in a person making it practically impossible for them to fall over. Would be useful for martial arts character
How about replacing facial muscles with a sort of malleable plate so you can change your facial appearence

Better digestive system than our crappy one so you don't need to cook. Seriously, we have a digestive system so bad that it must have been fluke of evolution.
Cooper Williams
This, along with artificial de-circumcision
Justin Howard
We used to be able to eat sticks and shit and be fine, but we started cooking our food and our digestive systems became reliant on that. Luckily cooked meat also lead to greater brain mass so here we are.

The Sentinel RX Health System is a massive and elegant augmentation made up of numerous units distributed throughout the body. The primary components are a series of hair-fine sensor probes connected to all vital organs; they provide biomedical data to a central health monitor unit. This unit tracks the medical condition of the user and triggers secondary modules when it registers critical damage through internal or external trauma.
These modules are implanted in heart tissue, the lymphatic system, and adrenal glands, and utilize micro-electric charges and phase-released chemicals to stimulate the human body's healing reaction.
The Sentinel RX Health System comes standard with an Implanted Cardioverter Defibrillator capable of restarting a human heart. It is implanted directly in the sinoatrial node, or as an alternative to it if the heart is fully cybernetic, and is specially tuned not to interfere with the user's other electronic implants. The defibrillator system also performs double duty as a tissue stimulator. In the event of injury, the defibrillator can emit 50 millivolt doses of bioelectricity to stimulate the production of neutrophils and macrophages, encouraging and speeding the body's natural healing processes

I like how the hacking implants sounds like the most hardcore and dangerous implants of all.

lv. 2
>...Numerous internal software upgrades come pre-installed with the MHD-995, but are deactivated by default. When the user's neural weave grows accustomed to the rapid processing and dismantling of level 1 security systems, the MHD-995 can increase its clock speed by tapping into the unused computational power of the intraparietal sulcus, a portion of the brain responsible for numerical processing.
lv. 4
>...Digital forgery of this magnitude requires more processing power than is safely available in the intraparietal sulcus, so the MHD-995 instructs the neural weave to tap additional computational power from the medulla oblongata, the section of the brain that deals with automatic functions of breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. On users who lack a cybernetic heart, this process could be dangerous. However, installation of the Sarif RX Health Rebuilder and Cardioverter Defibrillator may ensure that the heart is not negatively affected.
lv. 5
>...Such impressive clock rates are achievable only through complete annexation of the medulla oblongata. In this situation, all of its biological functions must be turned over to additional augmentations such as the RX Health Rebuilder. It is not advisable to overclock the MHD-995 past the 12GHz maximum or sudden cardiac arrest may occur.

I want more processing power. And tentacles. But mostly processing power. Fuck practicality, fuck even being to move. Rig my head up to a server bank and take grandfather's axe to my mind until I'm going throw info like a damn chain saw.
Mason Long
Flexi-Bones: full skeletal augmentation that allows default human rigidity as well as full extension and flex of bones, the user into a semi-mollusk. Protective systems for skull and thorax augmentations required. Dangerous without.
Zachary Foster
Modern day prosthetics are pretty fantastic if you think about it. They work just as good as your regular arm or leg and is more durable because it isn't made out of flesh. And the more expensive options look awesome too, not just flat color plastic.
Isaac Lee
Piraka were 2007 A few years back is a decade for you lol
t. I was 11 in 2007

>They work just as good as your regular arm or leg Aside from a few experimental prototypes, prosthetics still aren't controlled by your nerves and have no sense of touch.
Jason Fisher
I am pretty sure that only insects are more food resistant than humans.
Carter Miller
It'd turn into dust.
Leo Fisher
Seriously, in addition to being omnivorous, we didn't start eating cooked food because we had to, we GOT to, and it's a major advantage.
Gabriel Murphy
Played in a SR game where one of the guys had all black eyes...made it hard for others to see where he was looking at and came in handy in places where wearing sunglasses might be considered rude.

I'm a huge fan of the prosthetics that leave behind human form in favor of optimizing their function, most notably the blades.
Charles Russell
Not really unique, but I'd want everything skooped out for me. Just stick my brain in a jar and let me be an immortal cyborg. Make me super acrobatic or a walking talk, I want to be one of the the extremes.
Wyatt Green
Each single hair in your body is actually a scaffold for a series of micro motors and fans that reacts upon your movements to make you more aerodynamic. The full effect makes you more agile, faster and looking like you said "fuck you gravity" sometimes. It was developed for the Ultra Fu action virts' practical effects of the Third Han Corp.
A more advanced version I once made up for Gunnm as a setting was that your pores comprise a nanoramjet network. Your entire body acts like a jet engine according to your motion, down to the individual finger. The downside is that activating generates much heat which may harm others and requires constant movement and smart cloth acting as a radiator to cool.

A set of nanorails set on an almost invisible seam on the skin that carries a small manipulator, so it can grab shit from my shoulder and carry it to my hand, or do some sick martial arts party tricks with a stick
Adam Perez
You could make sets, like a speed set, power set and heavy (tanking) set, for example.
A speed set, for example, would be like rough skin, creating pockets of air which allows you to move faster. Sharks have it naturally, it makes each motion to move more efficient because they have less friction to the water. Add angular features for further friction reduction, as well as the regular stuff the speed sets have: small wings for maneuverability, high speed legs, jumping jets that boost you along if you're a jumping cyborg instead of running, high-traction feet for grip, neural enhancers so your brain can interpret the speeds you're going, skeletal and muscular reinforcements to avoid liquefying yourself at high speeds, and so on and so forth.
Brandon Powell
I had a character in Shadowrun with a cybernetic monkey tail. It was actually a wireless antenna/signal blocker with a data jack in the tip and was strong enough to yank a persons leg out from under them. I had a lot of fun with that stupid thing.

If you're at the point where you're modding your asshole because you hate shit you might as well go all the way and put your brain in a robot body.
Angel Cooper
But what's the point in having a robot body with a horse asshole?
Camden Robinson
Disappointingly, OP better than 90% of thread responses so far. Veeky Forums can do better.
I must admit I'm struggling a little though. In actual games where augmentation was on the table, I've gotten tons of use out of fractal limbs. You know, the typical "2 arms per shoulder, 10 fingers per hand hacking scene" deal. I also got good mileage out of just training really well to fight alongside clones of myself, so I would just rip my own body in half and have identical copies of my current consciousness pilot each if I needed two things done at once. A little bit of a step beyond the flying drone idea in although I'm also fond of that IRL, I have an idea to pull it off in a couple of years if I can save up ~$2k for parts.
But that still isn't quite on the level.
- Maybe using LIDAR to have a "ranged" sense of touch? - I love grapnels, who doesn't love grapnels - Some sort of blood refrigeration and creatine infusion system to allow you to operate at peak physical exertion for an hour rather than a few minutes? - Linking to neural interfaces installed in attack dogs and rats and shit so you are just a horde of shit that attacks all at once, with all the benefits of oversight by the most intelligent mind in the group with none of the downsides of it needing to parallel process the actions of 20 or so bodies at once.
Jack Martin
Secondary backup machine brain, like an autopilot that activates should you ever lose consciousness.

Adding onto that, backup oxygenated blood reserve system in the skull to keep the brain alive should the main life support systems in the torso fail.
I just love the idea of taking inhumane damage and surviving it. Extreme life preservation systems are my jam.
Colton Nelson

I came up the idea of replacing certain bundles of nerve fibres with fibre optics to increase reaction times for parkour and martial arts.
But then i found out that someone else had the idea first.
Brandon Smith
I vould like my rusty metal skull gun!
Brandon Hill
a biosack that goes somewhere on your back that gathers heat and sunlight and produces sugar or carbs
Joshua Gonzalez
somewhere on your head attach a set of sensors that can sense waves we cant see like ultraviolet infrared micro etc...
but not in the shape of cat ears
Brody Morgan
Additionally, the commercially available ones that do have something resembling nerve control are myoelectric; they respond to broad muscle twitches in whatever's left in the stump. These are to be blunt quite shitty, as you don't so much control the limb as switch grip modes with short twitches and tell the hand to grasp with long ones.
Jason Garcia
They're apparently quite uncomfortable for long term wear, although Hugh Herr's fancy dancy experimental ones seem to be following the same aesthetic.
Jacob Bailey
OH! This reminds me of something i was going to make once.
I found that someone had produced an honest to god 360 degree video camera. So i was planning to use a hicking backpack frame, mount it on the shoulder and try to upload motion and speed tracking software. No one would ever be able to sneak up on me again!
Reminds me of those auto-setting bones from that blue girl from Guardians of the galaxy. Those things were hardcore.
But it would be cool if the bones had specific incisions in them which allowed them to rotate around these points, so could conceivably turn a femur into a box shape and then back again.
>more durable because it isn't made out of flesh. Nope. Especially not knees. Knee cartilage is more durable than stainless steel, which has to be replaced.
That reminds me of a good one. Brain deoxygenation is one of the main threats to the brian. A small package on the inside of the skull contains all the resources necessary to keep the brain alive with oxygen and glucose for a good hour or so. So no one can ever choke you or drown you.
Thats not the most recent version of that.
Aaron Roberts
>Thats not the most recent version of that. It isn't?

I'd be all about those sensory augments >Mantis shrimp eyes - Near-perfect depth perception coming from trinocular vision in each individual eye, 12 colour photoreceptors (compared to our 3). 4 photoreceptors responsible for analysing light polarisation. Vision up into UV. Throw in eagle-tier lenses and IR sensitivity. >Jacobson's organ tasting the air >Bloodhound nose >Cover my skin entire body with fine sensory hairs. Turning my entire body into an ear that is also able to sense air currents and minute vibrations. >Magnetoreception giving me the ability to feel magnetic fields, navigate perfectly and even sense the impact of solar storms >Sonar, obviously. Not just to see in the dark but to see through objects. As well as increasing the sensitivity of all my existing organs. Imagine how the world would appear.
Christian Brown
horrifyingly overstimulating?
Josiah Russell
Ok, so just what ARE they reacting to in that image?
Dylan Phillips
Oh yeah. It would be one godawful confusing blur if you didn't get the augments at birth. I doubt the brain could ever adjust to properly interpret it all later. But if it worked the way I'd want ... what an amazing life.
Gabriel Torres
If I were a double amputee, I'd get these prosthetics and use them as part of an Xavier costume for Halloween.
Easton Jenkins
I strongly doubt that the human brain is capable of processing that much information Then again, we're augmenting just about everything here now so why not that as well
Kayden Stewart
Yeah, in case you havent noticed theres a part of the brain for interpreting every sense. So if you want all those say hello to Mr.Balloon head.
I myself would just like to use the senses i have a bit better. I'd like to overclock.
Levi Davis
Do you mean the infamous Urotsukidoji prehensile combat dick? Together with the Bukkake implant and pump system, they are classic of SimStim productions.

That's not how the brain works. Mantis shrimp's heads aren't 3 times our size. It's the software that matters, not the meat.

Maybe I'm just autistic but aren't weapons offensive not defensive? Shouldn't defence be like with stuff that can protect you?
Connor Jones
Punch a guy fifteen feet away.
Kayden Sullivan
this is good. an impla in your hand so you always know where exactly your hand is pointing. You already have this 3d orientation things but is vague. With augment you no longer need to align you pistol to your eye.
Or trackers in your hand that project trajectory of your bullets in your eyes.

Ethan Ramirez
>claiming humans with herbivorous dentation are biologically omnivorous lololol
Hunter Morales
ICDs are pretty cool real life example of live extension augment. They really can save your heart from going VF, so technically someone having ICD is at less risk of dying from sudden cardiac death than a baseline person would be. Of course that's assuming the implantee has non-damaged heart which is very rare because usually VF only occurs in badly damaged hearts.
Michael Clark
I've been thinking of a group augment the last few days. I work on naval ships and a lot of times I have to work blind with another dude. We have to rely on touching each others hands and generally shitty directions from each other. This augment would allow someone else to control your limbs through a wireless connection. A person would have to allow the connection to happen in the first place. But if only one guy can see, but needs four hands, he's got them.
