As long as you're having a few cybernetic grafts put
on, why not go all the way and redo the whole thing? The
art of body-sculpting includes skin tints, hair and eye
color changes, breast enlargement and reduction, and
general all-over bodywork. You can have bone and muscle
removed to become shorter, or have grafts added to become
taller. Excess fat can be suctioned away, and collagen
implants can smooth wrinkles, add weight, and change
contours. Bodysculpting is readily available in a number
of body salons, including Body-shoppe, Parts N' Programs,
and Docs R Us™. Body sculpting includes appearance
changes, appearance enhancement, and exotic fashion.
Change Appearance: Looking like a
favorite movie star or celebrity is a popular fad in
2020; entire gangs, known as Posers, often have
themselves bodyshaped to resemble famous people.
Appearance changes are also a staple for Solos, Rockers,
and any other sort of high mover who needs to change
identities often. The cost of an appearance change is
based on how convincing that change is.
At 1,200eb, you look sort of like you wanted to; a
casual observer could spot the difference on an AVERAGE
Notice check.
At 2,400eb, you look very much like you wanted; it
would take a DIFFICULT Notice check to spot the sculpt
job.
With 3,600eb, you would look exactly as you wanted to
look; spotting the sculpt would take a VERY DIFFICULT
Notice check.
At the top end (5,000 eb), it would require a NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE check to spot the body-sculpt from your
original face.
Increase Attractiveness: Cyberpunk
style always goes to the extremes - you're either really
ugly or very good-looking. One way to increase your
Attractiveness is to have your body re-designed at the
local 'sculpt clinic. The process is expensive, granted,
but many people think having the right "look"
for that year is worth a few thousand euro. Cost is 600eb
per Attractiveness point gained. For example, to
raise my appearance four points would cost 2,400eb.
Want to decrease your Attractiveness? A straight razor
costs fifty-nine cents.
