Bodysculpt jobs that emphasize the alien or inhuman
are known as Exotics. Vat-grown tails,
furred skins, hooves, animal-like faces and ears, cats
eyes and other semi human features are the highlights of
this style. Exotic fashion is incredibly expensive, time
consuming and usually a hobby among only the very rich
and very bored. Prices are based on the individual
enhancements.
Facial Sculpts combine vat-grown
parts such as muzzles, whiskers, animal-like ears, manes
and cat eyes with the patient's normal features. There
are entire booster-gangs based around various animal
motifs of this type. Cost: 5,000eb.
Tails are grown in vats, using gene
bank tissue. They can be furred, tinted, scaled or bare
skin. The tail is grafted to the base of the spine and
linked to the nervous system by nanotech nerve threaders.
Tails are relatively weak; they can pick up about a half
pound. Cost: 3,000eb.
Hooves, claws and paws
can be grafted to replace normal feet and hands. They are
not as dexterous as normal digits (-2 to REF), but are
occasionally included as part of a Exotic bodysculpt.
Cost: 8,000 eb.
Skin alteration uses transform DNA to
change the structure of the patient's skin. Using
tailored DNA, the skin can be induced to grow patterned
fur, light scales, or exotic skin colors. The big
drawback is a 1 in 10 chance that the graft will mutate
and develop into skin cancer. You get to pick the number.
Cost: 10,000eb.
