-Cyberware is a catch-all term used to describe cybernetic limbs, organs, and implants which can be installed into or onto a person's body to offer them greater capabilities than their original organic components. These can range from simple bionic legs with greater speed and agility than a standard leg to neural implants which offer a form of digital telepathy to even cybernetic arms concealing high powered cannons. +**Cyberware** is a catch-all term used to describe cybernetic limbs, organs, and implants which can be installed into or onto a person's body to offer them greater capabilities than their original organic components. These can range from simple bionic legs with greater speed and agility than a standard leg to neural implants which offer a form of digital telepathy to even cybernetic arms concealing high powered cannons. 
  
-Though these implants offer substantial benefits, these also come at a cost; the increasing dissociation of the user's mind from their body as well as the increased cognitive load incurred from having to operate foreign limbs incurs a penalty upon the user's sanity, decreasing their psychological health further with each new piece added until they risk losing all connection to their humanity and undergoing cyberpsychosis. Furthermore, the replacement of one's flesh with cybernetics reduces one's ability to manipulate TRACE, reducing the character's maximum TRACE with each piece installed. Managing the balance between functionality and mental wellbeing is a fine line walked by those who choose to partake in the use of "chrome", and high profile incidents of cyberpsychosis-related mass murder have created a great deal of ideological stigma against those who visibly make use of large quantities of cyberware.+Though these implants offer substantial benefits, these also come at a cost; the increasing dissociation of the user's mind from their body as well as the increased cognitive load incurred from having to operate foreign limbs incurs a penalty upon the user's [[sanity]], decreasing their psychological health further with each new piece added until they risk losing all connection to their humanity and undergoing cybershock.

-To make use of chrome, a character must seek the services of another character skilled in [[Neuromancy]]. By default, humans have 5 slots for cyberware while replicants possess 20 slots. The [[background trait]] [[Built Different]] and the [[Neuromancy]] [[skills|skill]] [[The Flesh Is Weak]] further increase the amount of slots a character possesses by 2 each.+To have cyberware installed, a character must seek the services of another character skilled in [[Neuromancy]]. 
  
-Cyberware is divided into 3 grades - prosthetics, bionics, and magitek.+===== Cyberware Slots & Cybershock ===== 
 + 
 +All characters posses a value known as their cyberware slots which determine how much cyberware they can have safely installed before entering a state known as cybershock. 
 + 
 +By default, all characters start with 5 cyberware slots. [[Replicants]] start with 15 slots owing to their robotic nature, making them particularly apt users of the technology. The [[background trait]] [[Built Different]] increases maximum slots by 8, [[Brass Calling]] increases it by 4, The Winding Hymn increases it by 2, and the [[Neuromancy]] capstone [[skill]] further increases a character's maximum slots by 5. 
 + 
 +If a character exceeds their maximum cyberware skots via installing too many pieces of cyberware, they enter a state known as cybershock, wherein their mental faculties are entirely lost and they go on a berserk rampage. 
 + 
 +Functionally, this effectively serves as the character's death for their player, severing their control of them and turning them into a rampaging NPC. 
 + 
 +There is no returning from cybershock. 
 + 
 +High profile instances of individuals going into cybershock and causing great deals of harm and damage have led to a public suspicion and disdain for individuals who are visibly heavily cyberized, often being seen as ticking time bombs for everyone around them.
