Characters are assumed to have a DNI to the extent that their minor and major cyberware suggests they should.

Bioears

Excellent hearing that extends above and below the normal human range.

Bioeyes

20/10 vision that works well – and reflects back light – in the dark.

Biogills

Allows breathing in fresh and salt water.

Bone Lacing

The bones are laced with a reinforced mesh and cannot be broken except by incredible force.

Cranial Bomb

Just enough explosive power to guarantee painless suicide. Used with DNI-only access by high-level operators to have a final way out of a torture scenario or implanted for radio activation to ensure the loyalty of key or unreliable employees.

Cyberarm

A strong, untiring grip with inductive data reception and transmission and position sensors for virtual controls. Degree of replacement (partial hand, full hand, forearm, or whole arm; individual or both) may be specified so long as consistent with any additional augmentations selected.

Arm Compartment

A long, thin compartment hidden within the forearm or bicep. Very difficult to distinguish from an ordinary cyberarm without a medical-quality scan or major disassembly.

Climbing Claws

Extrude tough, unsharpened claws that provide the benefit of climbing gear.

Fine Senses

Read printed text by touch, feel the wear patterns on a security keypad, accurately measure temperature and weight, and perform similar detailed measurements of touched or held objects.

Fingernail Compartment

A micro-compartment hidden beneath a fingernail, large enough for a data chip or other tiny item. Impossible to distinguish from an ordinary cyberarm without a medical-quality scan or major disassembly.

Fingerprint Remapper

Randomize fingerprints or set them to a recorded pattern.

Gyroscopic Stabilization

A counterweight levers out from the bicep to balance the hand and forearm against any penalties from an uneven surface or mount.

Implanted Weapon

A weapon is implanted in the forearm. Specify at the time of selection. Popular options include collapsing swords, stun batons, monofilament whips, and pistol-caliber slugthrowers. Very difficult to distinguish from an ordinary cyberarm without a medical-quality scan or major disassembly and cannot be disarmed.

Prybar

Massive force can be slowly expended in prying something apart.

Cyberears

Peak human hearing ability with built-in audio recording and playback. One or both ears replaced as preferred so long as consistent with any additional augmentations selected.

Enhanced Auditory Processing

Audio processing circuits can execute audio-adjustment software to allow for the filtering of repetitive background noises, the suppression of disorienting sounds, and other basic audio tasks. Typically only used with dual-ear replacement.

Enhanced Microphones

Enhanced microphones with increased frequency range and sensitivity.

Parabolics

The ear can shift in shape to become a parabolic microphone, allowing the detection of sounds at extreme ranges while blocking out other noise.

Spatial Positioning Sensors

Additional implanted sensors around the dome of the head allow the precise location of the source of perceived sounds.

Cybereye

20/10 vision with built-in image capture and display. One or both eyes replaced as preferred so long as consistent with any additional augmentations selected.

Enhanced Optical Processing

Video processing circuits can execute image-adjustment software to allow for the compensation of significant disparities in illumination (e.g., HDR), the suppression of disorienting lights, and other basic video tasks. Typically only used with dual-eye replacement.

Low-Light Sensors

Enhanced sensors function well even in low-light conditions.

Microscopic Vision

Optical lenses enhance vision as if looking through a magnifying glass or microscope.

Retinal Display

The retinas function as displays and can be assigned a visible pattern, such as might be used to fool a retinal scanner.

Telescopic Vision

Optical lenses enhance vision as if looking through a powerful pair of binoculars.

Thermographic Vision

Enhanced sensors and visual processing allow the distinct perception of infrared light.

Cyberlegs

The legs never fall asleep, the owner can sleep standing up (if both replaced), and the soles of the feet provide inductive data reception and transmission. Degree of replacement (partial foot, full foot, calf, or whole leg; individual or both) may be specified so long as consistent with any additional augmentations selected.

Hidden Holster

A hidden compartment with an articulated grasper big enough to hold a pistol, collapsable melee weapon, or a grenade. Difficult to distinguish from an ordinary cyberleg without a medical-quality scan or major disassembly.

Launching Hydraulics

Hydraulics in the legs can power jumps a dozen yards high and dozens of yards long.

Prybody

Requires cyberarm prybar

The whole body can prybar, including lifting massively heavy objects off the ground.

Shock Reinforcement

Reinforcement of the skeletal frame allow the survival of arbitrarily-long falls with a proper landing, with increasing difficulty for longer falls.

Tremorsense

Sensors of the soles of the foot can detect anything moving that is in contact with the ground in the general vicinity.

Cybernose

Perform chemical analysis of gaseous compounds.

Cybertongue

Perform chemical analysis of liquid and solid compounds.

Datajack

Provides an external link for an implanted DNI and relevant implanted devices.

Digestive Expansion

A modified gastro-intestinal tract allows for the productive consumption of almost anything organic, though low-quality food sources (e.g., grass and leaves) may require massive consumption and long periods of low-activity.

Enhanced Immune System

Augmented white blood cells can fight off any known mundane disease. Five to ten years of firmware updates can be expected.

Head Rig

An implanted rig. Wireless link required for wireless access; datajack required for wired access.

Select one (multiple if taken multiple times) compound to slowly generate for oral excretion on command, to which you are immune: a narcoleptic, a neurotoxin, an intoxicant, a hallucinogen, or other as appropriate.

Oxygen Reserve Tank

An implanted tank of air supplies sufficient oxygen for a few hours. Refills through breathing over the course of a day, with an optional external rapid-refill port.

Reality Check

An implanted coded chip with protected DNI access. Can be used to verify whether one is unknowingly experiencing full-immersion simsense.

Skull-deck

An implanted deck. Wireless link required for wireless access; datajack required for wired access.

Sleep Regulator

Sleep requirements are halved in both duration and frequency, what little sleep that is needed can be achieved on demand, recovery from sleep is nearly instantaneous, and other appropriate functions.
