Homebrew Cyborg Species Details

People of Steel

Depending on your view, Cyborgs may or may not be considered a distinct race, but one thing cannot be denied, their capabilities generally exceed those of those without any technological improvement.

Ship of Theseus

Because of their innate difference and, to some, a questionable humanity, Cyborgs can suffer a great deal of prejudice from those who are biologically untouched. This does not, however, prevent the market for mechanical enhancement parts from being large. Conversely, bionic beings may feel superiority or disdain to fully biological beings, having a very strong identity culture among some, which comes to be toxic and even harmful to the beings they refer to as inferior.

Each Being is Unique

Cyborgs are not natively inclined to any specific alignment, as each individual is their own being, only sharing the similarity of having metal in their bodies.
