So uh, yea. Hey. Cybernetics are cool I think.
Alright I finished outlining what I think are some semi-realistic classifications for those gosh darn metal parts. Any input will be realy friggin appreciated. (Yea I realize there's a lot of useless lore bits thrown in there, whatevah)

Before I get into it: Yes, I'm well aware that Steele getting some slick metal parts has been planned for ages, and there's probably oodles and oodles of stuff already written about it, waiting for a bit of code to give it life.
That being said, I've always found the idea of combining flesh and metal such a perverse corruption of the natural world, which is just so painfully interesting and neat. I mean come on, slapping some metal bits on bleed-y parts to make this friggin huge amalgamation that will make DeathsHead, Wilhelm, and Anderson all consecutively cream themselves? Shit's cool. (Except imagining those fucks actually creaming, ew)
So, to cut to the chase, I've slowly been building up a document with a piss-ton of ideas and concepts I've been boiling up; including classification for degrees of cybernetics (fucking UGC bureaucrats), actual ideas for cybernetics that Steele can get jammed into them, lore bits on why robo parts work, why they've been mostly overshadowed by gene mods, ways Steele can actually get some nice shiny robot parts stuck inside the fleshy bits, and other scatterbrained stuff that you'd imagine in a half-baked initial draft.
I honestly just want to know if there would be any real interest or use for my ideas, I got no clue how far in development cybernetics actually are, or if any of my ideas would be actually useful. I fully intend on writing and fleshing out all of this with respect to pre-existing lore (No deus ex machinas, don't worry), and at least make something somewhat believable. Or at least as believable as a planet-hopping heir to a unbelievably wealthy playboy getting some robot parts for funsies after fucking a few dozen different species can be
