The Cyborg Meme

 

Isn't technology great?

For one reason or another, you're now part organic, part robotic. Roll a number, pick your favorites, or choose your own robotic adventure!

 

Write which role(s) you want to play, if you're up for being the one cyborged, feel free to describe what your character's new modified body is like.

Roles:

1. Cyborg - For whatever reason, you're a cyborg. Maybe you were turned into one because of the scenarios below, maybe you've been one for as long as you can remember. Are you a cyborg helping out a brand new one get used to their new body?

2. The One Doing the Cyborging - Are you a doctor who uses robotic parts to help save lives? Or maybe you're a mad scientist sticking electronic bits to people to see what happens. Perhaps you're a cyborg yourself and wanted to make someone like you. There's a lot of reasons to cyborg someone, everybody has their own thoughts towards the matter.

3. Bystander - You're just passing by, another doctor checking up on a patient, a jailer set to make sure that the experiment didn't escape. You're not a cyborg, nor are you the one who made them that way, but now you've got to deal with the results one way or another.

4. Other - Is there somehow else your character would be involved? Have fun with it!

Scenarios

1. Forced Cyborgification - You've been captured, maybe by a group of aliens or perhaps by a mad scientist, and now they've outfitted you with new limbs and maybe even a brand new processor. Perhaps you're fresh out of surgery or your time in the machine, or someone's broken you free and the operation is only partially done.

2. Willing Cyborgification - Robots are just plain cool! Maybe you want to be stronger or jump higher or maybe you just want to be the first to have robotic parts attached to you.

3. Cyborgified to Save Your Life - Something happened to put you on death's doorway and the only way to live is to be robotically enhanced. You have a choice in the matter, unless you're unconscious or otherwise out of it, but if you want to live, you've got to be modified.

4. Reverse Cyborgification - You're a robot and you've always been a robot, but for some reason, you've now got organic parts attached to you. Maybe you were part of an experiment or maybe you just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Don't worry, they're 100% lab-grown! (Unless you don't want them to be, of course.)

5. Other - Got a different idea for how your cyborgification went? Go for it!

Well, the real test, I suppose, will be seeing whether or not I can leave.

[ There is a very loud mechanical whirring noise as the Shadow slowly stands, flexing various parts of its body. Accepting human DNA into it with this mutagen was--tricky. But if they're right, they should be allowed to leave, they think. ]

At the very least, I can get you out of here quickly enough. Are you prepared?

Maybe we should find out.

[She nods.]

Yes.

[exchanging]

[ They are going to offer her two very mechanical arms, in this case. It's a simple gesture: hold on. ]

Please do not let go.

[shallnotharm]

[She does hold on, almost too tightly.]

I won't.
