Homebrew Cyborg Species Details

Found throughout the cosmos cyborgs can be few and far between or very common depending on where you are from. Many Cyborgs are made but they are all similar in the same aspect that they are enhanced versions of their original race due to cybernetics. This can be from surgical operations, magic applications, or can be a natural gift through blood etc.

Cyborgs are as diverse in appearance since they usually still look like the race they were previously before being augmented with cybernetics. Scholars have deduced that the origin of cybernetic organisms most likely comes from all races' common desire to become more powerful and are willing to sacrifice part of their being to do so.
