Sybertech

If Humans and Technology can become one, there would be need for little else. - Council Elder Volgara

Data Entry...   Successful integration between electronic circuitry and biological tissue has been a work in progress for humanity for over a century. If it were not a jump to the access of incredible space alien technology, it would be another hundred years for humans to make use of cybernetics.  

At a great cost of human life, Wizards experimenting on humans caused a leap in the field of cybernetics. Almost all humans with embedded technology have escaped from High Wizard centers and they will always be fugitives. Any Wizard who returns a Sybertech to its rightful master is guaranteed an ally or at least protection from a High Wizard or greater caliber. If a human compound can find one, they are valued assets in the war against Wizards.

Career

Qualifications

If there are any electronics embedded inside a human body, the possibility of gaining Sybertech implants or upgrades can be obtained. The issue is if the technology upgrades having side effects on the human host. More explanation to come.

Career Progression

Due to the instance of saving and gaining the confidence of a fugitive, it is uncertain if a Sybertech can train to use the skills acquired more effectively or if the programming degrades without the intervention of coding or alien maintenance.

Other Benefits

Our limited experience with Sybertechs indicate they have been assigned tasks by the Wizard programmer that can range from:
  • Inventory management
 
  • Slave management
 
  • Sentry duty
 
  • Scout or spying
 
  • Citizen social engineering
 
  • Droid/drone operator/ technician

Perception

Purpose

Our most successful Sybetechs have been instrumental in hacking, infiltration, and sabotage of Wizard facilities.

Operations

Materials

Our information is limited but some reports of Sybertechs do have a requirement to maintain systems or suffer severe side effects. Tissue/ Organ rejection, Inoperative implants, toxic leakage from materials leading to death are just some of the problems we have encountered.

Enjoy the concept movie "RUIN" by Wes Ball - our protagonist concept for a Sybertech character.  
Demand

If you encounter anyone that has embedded technology, proceed with caution. Secure the persons safety and bring to a local authority in a human outpost.

Legality

Agents associated with the Council of Wizards are instructed to capture anyone with embedded technology and clear out settlements harboring them. Please do not provide prolonged sanctuary for a Sybertech if your encampment cannot defend itself from a mutant raid. Even the most fortified settlements are at risk.

Gamemasters: Sybertech is a new class to be developed. It is a hybrid of the Starfinder Operative: Hacker Speciality with access to a limited array of Technomancer Spells.
