Homebrew Augmented Species Details

Across the four seas and the Grand Line, scientists of every mindset and morality seek to push humankind to the next level, oftentimes at the cost of their own humanity as much as that of their subjects. To this end exist the augmented: A race of humanoids empowered with technological or biological enhancements that stand at the apex of evolution. The augmented exist as something beyond that of mere men and beasts, regardless of whether they originally wanted to or not.

Scientific Menagerie

The existence of augmented humanoids is a very recent thing, appearing as the result of scientific progress. Doctors, scientists and madmen alike have always sought to overcome the limits of the human body, and to this end they created the augmented from already living, or sometimes even dead, creatures. Augmented vary greatly in appearance, however they can typically be categorized into groups depending on how they were experimented on. If an augmented had body parts replaced with machinery, they are considered a cyborg; if an augmented had body parts replaced with those of wild animals, they are considered a chimera; if the augmented was given no visual modifications and instead only returned to life from a dead state, they are considered a revived; and finally, if an augmented were only given internal or genetical modifications with no visible changes, they are considered to be an artificial human.

Made to Order

Most augmented were created for a singular purpose, such as the pacifistas created by the world government or the zombies raised by Dr. Hogback. Most augmented were normal people at first, and many had no say in their transformation into augmented. Unscrupulous scientists have no qualms about using slaves or kidnapped civilians for their experiments. True freedom is a luxury that many augmented have never tasted in their life.
