That depends. What exactly do you mean? The term “ Deus ex machina” is Latin and translates as “the god from the machine.” It’s a reference to how in the tragic state plays of the time it was a common trope that at some point during the story, agod would suddenly show up out of nowhere and make something happen that would advance the story in some critical way that could otherwise never occur without that sudden divine intervention. That’s the “Deus” (“god”) part of it anyway.
The “ex machina” (“from the machine”) part refers to how they would actually make it happen on stage. I mean, a god’s gotta write in style. Right? Can’t just be walkin’ on all casual like from behind the curtain stage left. So instead they would rise up on a panel through the stage floor, or some other equally dramatic entrance. That was made possible by means of a “machine” like a series of (usually slave powered) levers or winches or whatever. Basically that was the specialest of effects that had that time.
So, when you wrote “deus ex mankind divided,” and “deus ex homebrew,” wadaya mean?

The game. Deus ex mankind divided. It’s where my pfp comes from. (Or maybe that’s from human revolution) but long story short a man augmented with robotic parts
Deus ex doesn’t really fit with D&D well. You could do it with lots of re-skinning, but it would be a pretty awkward mess. I’d suggest Shadowrun, for a game with high tech body modification, guns and computer hacking stuff. That system is also a bit of a mess, but it’s at least designed as cyberpunk from the ground up.

So cyberware basically.
Yeah, I’ma echo Xalthu here. I would suggest either Shadowrun (my favorite setting) or Cyberpunk instead of D&D. The main difference between those two being that Shadowrun has magic and Cyberpunk does not. (The second biggest difference is that the rules for Cyberpunk are apparently much cleaner than the current edition of Shadowrun. I honestly cannot say since I haven’t checked out the newest edition of Shadowrun yet.)
If however, you are set on playing yourself some Deus Ex D&D, then you basically got two options:
Decide basically what you want and Homebrew it. You must realize however that the problem that usually occurs whenever anyone tries to port another IP into D&D is that they either stay too close to the source material and then it doesn’t work well in this game, or they make it work for D&D and then it stops feeling enough like the original source material anymore. Finding the Goldilocks zone between those two outcomes is like trying to find a parking spot at the mall two days before Christmas, super duper hard and take forever unless you happen to get exceedingly, inexplicably lucky.
Flavor is free. Take something that already exists in D&D and just reskin it to be whatever you want in your head canon.

By what I ment oh how I link dosnt work i sends you to a page I want trying. That’s just the page for augments. I wanted the augments from deus ex mankind divided or the powers from it.

No clue what is
Well, from context I’d imagine you could realize it’s a cyberpunk ttrpg. Beyond that, maybe google it? 🤷♂️

In general that's not going to work Deus Ex is a real-time action game, whereas D&D is turn-based. Most mechanics simply don't translate between those two systems. However, you could easily reflavour D&D class features and feats as "augmentations".
I was hopping someone here could eather help me make a deus ex homebrew or had one I could use

For anyone who doesn’t know what Deus ex is. These are what I’m trying to make in dnd for this character
Ain’t no way. The link messed up. Going to have to manually copy and paste it into a search bar. I hate it when it does that

Link worked for me. 🤷♂️
