Full Body Conversion

What is an FBC?

An FBC, or Full Body Conversion, is a package of cyberware -- built around an Internal Linear Frame -- into which a Biosystem can be installed. "Going Metal" begins with getting your brain, and a few other choice bits, scooped out and slotted into a Biosystem. The process is permanent, so make peace with losing your meat body forever. The cost of a Biosystem, in both Eurodollars and Humanity, is separate from an FBC body
Most Surgeons require the patient to remove all non-medical-grade cyberware, including neuralware, and undergo therapy before Biosystem surgery. This helps prepare for the massive shock of Humanity Loss associated with becoming a borg. You can then install some of your old cyberware into your FBC body if you wish. If you do so without fifrst uninstalling it from your meat body and undergoing therapy, the existing Humanity Loss carries over. Otherwise, installing it into your FBC body counts as a new instance with Fresh Humanity Loss.

FBC Baselines

Shedding your meat in favour of a metal body does come with a fair few advantages. What follows below are the changes you can expect with becoming an FBC, and are true of ALL FBC's.

• An FBC user's Skills, and Intelligence, Cool, Tech, Will, Luck, and Empathy Statistics remain the same as they were in their meat body. Their Body Statistics, Hit Points, and Death Save change depending on the FBC Body. Their Reflex, Dexterity, and Move statistics may change depending on what cyberware is installed in the body.

• When being installed in an FBC body, the following cyberware causes 0 (N/A) Humanity Loss, and does not depress the maximum Humanity regained via therapy: Cyberarm, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye, Cyberleg, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame, Neural Link/Neuroport

• When installed in an FBC body, the number of cyberware option slots grounded by foundational cyberware and in the Internal/External Body Cyberware categories, are doubled.

• A user installed in an FBC body meets any Grafted Muscle and Bone Lace requirements for additional cyberware, even if none is installed.

• Damage is done to the FBC Body as a whole, rather than directly to the user in a biosystem. Thanks to nanomachines, so long as a user maintains a lifestyle of 600eb/month or more, whenever they complete a day of natural healing while in their FBC body, it regains a number of Hit Points equal to their BODY. If the user transfers out of their FBC body, the empty shell regains a number of Hit Points per day equal to what the user's BODY would be while inhabiting the shell.

• So long as the user maintains a lifestyle of 600eb/month or better, an FBC body can be restored to full Hit Points via repairs. Doing so requires a DV15 Cybertech Skill Check and 4 hours. Failed checks waste the entire 4 hours, and restore the target to half of their max HP, unless their current HP is higher. Users in an FBC body can repair themselves.

• A user transferring to a new FBC body automatically restores their HP to the maximum total, as determined by their new FBC body.

• Users installed in an FBC are immune to the effects, and bonus damage, of the following Critical Injuries while they are in a body: Broken Jaw, Collapsed Lung, Concussion, Cracked Skull, Crushed Windpipe, Lost Ear, Spinal Injury, Torn Muscle, and Whiplash. If one of these would be dealt, ignore them entirely. Do not reroll for a new Critical Injury

• While in an FBC body, the user is immune to all diseases, poisons, pharmaceuticals, and street drugs, unless administered by Airhypo directly into their Biosystem's access port. It is impossible to do this against an FBC user's will, unless they are rendered fully immobile, or incapacitated.

• FBC users are immune to radiation, do not need to breathe, and do not need food or water to survive. However, they must inject a Glucose-Rich Brain Solution into their Biosystem via the access port once per month. This GRBS is included for free if your monthly lifestyle is 600eb or higher, but can be purchased individually for 100eb per dose. If a user forgoes the Solution for a month, they are starving, and at a -2 to all checks. If they forgo the solution two months in a row, their biological systems crash and they die.

• Healing aids designed for fully biological systems, such as Cryobags, Cryotanks, and Speedheal, do not work on FBC users.

• FBC users require sleep, but are immune to all penalties associated with sleeping uncomfortably, or living while crammed.

• A user being installed in an FBC body containing new cyberware, or who is installing new cyberware into their current FBC body can choose to take the average Humanity Los instead of rolling

• All FBC bodies have simulated senses of touch, smell, and taste while in a body. These simulated senses can be turned off without an Action. An FBC in a body can eat food and drink beverages if they so desire. After enough recreational dining, however, they must empty their storage tank, just like everybody else

Cybermatrix Inc. Copernicus

Designed by Cybermatrix Incorporated as the ideal FBC body for deep-space exploration and construction, the Copernicus has endured the test of time in the most hostile environment imaginable: the vacuum of space. Considered the backbone of modern-day space operations, humanity would never have reached so far into the stars without the Copernicus.

Cost: 17,300eb
Package HL: 52 ([2d6/s round up]+15d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:

Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Anti-Dazzle, FBC EMP Coating x2, Grapple Hand x2, Internal Hydraulics Upgrade, Prehensile Cyberfoot x2, Radar/Sonar Implant, Radio Communicator, Toolhand x2, Zero Gravity Thrusters x2

I've never met a Copernicus in person. I saw one on Morro Rock one time using the zoom lenses built into my eyes. They were probably there to consult on the construction of the mass driver that'll shift passengers and cargo into orbit. That's where you'll find most Copernicuses, at the intersection of space and a whole heap of euros. They do look pretty sweet, but when have astronauts ever looked shabby?

Dynalar Aquarius

Dynalar claims that the Aquarius is superior to any diving system, and they're right. As at home in freshwater as in salt water, the Aquarius is the last word for exploration and life under the sea. If it weren't for the 4th Corporate War, Aquarius FBCs would surely have mapped out all the world's oceans by now.

Cost: 13,000eb
Package HL: 37 ([2d6/s round up]+10d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Sigma, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Low Light/Infrared/UV x2, Radar Detector, Radio Communicator, Radar/Sonar Implant, Subdermal Armour. Web Foot x2

Most Aquarius FBCs I meet have some easily understandable connection to the ocean/ I've met sailors, divers, Biotechnica marine division, researchers, aqua biologists, and of course, Deepdowners with this body. People who love the ocean tend to be some of the nicest people you'll meet, so I'd also rate this model high in personability. They're certainly the first Borg I'd try to meet at a party. I'll introduce you to a guy I know sometime! He used to be a custom marlin BioExotic until he decided it wasn't metal enough for him...

Dynalar Brimstone

A fully fireproofed engineering masterpiece by Dynalar, the Brimstone was created to defeat humankind's greatest tool, and enemy: Fire! The modern Brimstone model favours magnetically launched CO2 based explosive firefighting tools over the water-pumping hoses of yesteryear.

Cost: 17,300eb
Package HL: 53 ([1d6/s round up]+15d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Sigma, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Amplified Hearing, FBC Brimstone Coating, Heavy Subdermal Plating, Low Light/Infrared/UV x2, Radar/Sonar Implant, Radio Communicator, Tech Upgraded (+1 Caoacity) Popup Grenade Launcher x2

What a body to have! Dynalar's best work. I made my own improvements, of course. I love my Superchrome, even if it's hard to wash the soot off after a hard day's work. Look, there are people who don't like cops, and they give Enforcer FBCs a hard time, and I admit, I can understand that -- Corporate money, corruption, abuse of power. But nobody hates the fire brigade, especially when their home is on fire.

Militech Dragoon Revised War Platform

A complete revision of the undeniably effective military FBC that won the 4th Corporate War, the reenvisioned Dragoon is ready to win the next one too! This new model is lower impact, boasts our lowest rate of pilot shrinkage, and is more tuned for modern warfare than ever before. Best of all, you choose how to customize your Dragoon's weapon package (sold seperately) for each mission! Contact a Militech representative today for a demonstration of what the Dragoon can do for you!

Cost: 35,000eb
Package HL: 64 ([3d6/s round up]+18d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Omega, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Anti-Dazzlex2, Chyron, Dragoon Plating, FBC EMP Coating x2, Internal Agent, Low Light/Infrared/UV x2, Reinforced Cyberlimb Upgrade x4, Subdermal Grip x2, Tuned Internal Hydraulics Upgrade.

This is the most dangerous FBC body on the market. It's got some serious history to answer for. A lot of people died thanks to these. Militech, the Dragoons biggest user, snagged the blueprints when IEC died during the war. Now they're selling a "revised" model and claiming it's safer, but I'm not buying their marketing. Stay far away.

-Samantha Stevens

The Dragoon's advantage over all other land-based combat units is its humanoid form/ It is capable of taking maximum advantage of terrain.

Militech Eclipse

Your question is ridiculous. Militech doesn't field an elite unit of "killer Borg ninjas", to service our interests from the shadows. You are misinformed, likely by our disgraced former competitors in the security market. You can find them across the ocean. Can soneone throw out this hack? Let's get back to the real questions, those relevant to affordably arming the good people of Night City so they can defend what is most precious to them without sacrificing a drop of quality craftsmanship! I see a hand. Fiona Hayes from Network 54, you're up!

Cost: 29,200eb
Package HL: 67 ([2d6/s round up]+19d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Kiroshi MonoVision, Internal Linear Frame Beta, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Amplified Hearing, FBC Chameleon Coating x3, Grip Foot x2, Low Light/Infrared/UV, Radio Communicator, Scrambler/Descrambler, Subdermal Armour, Subdermal Pocket x2, Tech Upgraded (Oversized Weapon) Popup Kendachi Mono-Three, Tuned Internal Hydraulics Upgrade.

There are supposed to be some of these at Militech HQ, but if you meet one in public, they'll be installed in another body. Probably a Gemini with a crewcut. An Eclipse isn't for the eyes of the civilian population so Militech doesn't send its spooky death Borgs out in public -- At least, during the daytime

Militech Enforcer

Militech understands what it takes to bring criminals to justice -- it takes an Enforcer. Built to outlast the hottest of active situations you'll run into on the job and get you back home safe to your family, the Enforcer is the metal body you need to protect and serve. It's their move, creep!

Cost: 16,800eb
Package HL: 53 ([3d6/s round up]+13d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cyberleg x2, Kiroshi MonoVision, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Sigma, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Anti-Dazzle, Audio Recorder, Heavy Subdermal Plating, Hidden Holster, Low Light/Infrared/UV, Popup Grenade Launcher, Popup Stun Baton, Radio Communicator, Subdermal Grip, Targetting Scope, Voice Stress Analyzer

You'll find Enforcers rounding out special security teams for Corporations, but not many working for the NCPD. They generally can't afford to upgrade even their best TAC officers to one of these babies. MAX-TAC, on the other hand, has plenty. All you need is a solid service record and a nod from Hammerman himself, and you'll be in an Enforcer so fast your head will spin.

-Samantha Stevens

When the time cones to get serious, the Enforcer is more than ready. First, there are light bars mounted on the shoulders to ensure that you legally identify yourself, but we all know it takes more than lights to stop a Black Lace addict.

Militech Spyder 2.0

At Militech, we thought we'd mastered the need for covert operations with the original Spyder. That was until we developed the Spyder 2.0 and created the perfect espionage Borg! With the right hire, one investment in a Militech Spyder 2.0 can provide you with actionable intelligence that pays for itself in a single operation. Buy one before your competitors do!

Cost: 24,900eb
Package HL: 73 ([1d6/s round up]+22d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x4, Cyberaudio Suite, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Kiroshi Monovision, Internal Linear Frame Beta, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Amplified Hearing, Artificial Shoulder Mount, Chipware Socket, FBC Chameleon Coating x1, Grapple Hand x4, Grip Foot x2, Image Enhance, Internal Agent, Low Light/Infrared/UV, Microvideo, Tactile Boost, TeleOptics, Tuned Internal Hydraulics Upgrade

Never met a Spyder, and I don't want to. You can't trust a spook. I hear the combination of the spy paranoia and the mental processes needed to work all four arms properly makes this body more prone to causing cyberpsychosis than even the Dragoon. Militech could tune the neural interface better, but they don't care so long as they make their money. I bet the ones in their ranks all have kill chips implanted, just in case.

Moore Technologies Sheol

The Sheol platform by Moore Technologies is designed to handle the most hazardous operation you can throw at it and get the job done right the first time. Its price is highly affordable when you consider the cost associated with replacing workers who can't keep up with the demands of a toxic or deadly work environment. Don't play fast and loose with your financial future. Invest in a Sheol, the original hazardous operations borg. Don't settle for anything except a job done right.

Cost: 19,600eb
Package HL: 32 ([1d6/s round up]+9d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Beta, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Chemical Analyser, Chipware Socket, Chyron, Heavy Subdermal Plating, Internal Agent, Radiation Detector

The Sheol is a specialized Hazardous Operations unit, so it's one I don't see too often. Last time I did was in the days right after the Arasaka nuke. These are typically Corporate-owned work conversions, and I imagine most Sheol users aren't wearing them out on weekends. They're also ugly, but I don't want to speak badly about them after all the good they've done!

NovelTech Samson

Modern construction jobs require novel solutions -- and when you think novel, think NovelTech. Our flagship "Samson" conversion is the toughest industrial Borg on the market. Just one can replace ten hardhats. Downsize today!

Cost: 20,500eb
Package HL: 39 ([3d6/s round up]+10d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Omega, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Anti-Dazzle x2, Chyron, Internal Agent, Radiation Detector, Subdermal Armour, Techscanner, Toolhand x2

These are the hardest-working FBCs you'll meet. When Zhirafa screws up --it happens, you just don't hear about it on Net54-- these are the people who come in to clean it up. Samsons rebuilt the city after the nuke. They're the reason the Hot Zone shrinks every year. Unfortunately for them, the base model is ugly as all hell. Blocky, chunky, turtle-like, definitely not friendly lookin. I know a lot of Samsons that get misidentified as military models by the public because of the way the model looks. It's the Omega Frame that's really the problem. An Omega is always gonna look like an Omega, no matter how sleek you try to make it look, but with the Samson, NovelTech didn't even try.

Raven Microcybernetics Gemini

All the benefits of being a Full Body Conversion, none of the social downsides! Look like a biological person again with our revolutionary Gemini coating --now sold separately, too! Raven Microcybernetics is the cutting edge-- you won't find a better option when you want to keep your metal "low profile."

Cost: 10,200eb
Package HL: 14 ([4d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, FBC Gemini Sculpt, Internal Linear Frame Sigma, Neural Link, Techhair, Shift Tacts
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Mr. Studd or Midnight Lady Sexual Implant, Skin Weave

This is the most popular FBC by sales numbers. Many of us get one to add to our collection after a while. A lot of people I know treat being in their Gemini like being on vacation. Sometimes, you need a break from being the Borg in the room. It can be freeing. You don't have to buy the body, though. You can buy the Gemini Sculpt separately, install it for a month, and see if you like it.

-Samantha Stevens

Full Body Conversions have a multitude of advantages. However, being a Full Borg sets you apart. Society brands you as a "Metalhead" and people treat you like a machine, even a tool. The sad truth is that if you look like a robot, people tend to treat you like a robot.

Raven Microcybernetics Wiseman

Doesn't your Dweller deserve an upgrade? This holiday season, give them the bonus they deserve --a brand new body by Raven Microcybernetics! Once word gets around, those pesky Netrunners won't even try to hack your system anymore. They'll be too busy being dead.

Cost: 27,480eb

Excellent Quality Cyberdeck 2 (In Right Arm):
Eraser x9, Swifty Clean
Tech Upgraded (+1 slot) Raven Microcybernetics Kestral 2 (In Right Arm):
Sabertooth x3, Speedy Gonzalvez x2, Worm x2

I know a lot of Netrunners in the community, but I've never met a Wiseman. I've met Netrunners who tell stories about them, usually about encountering one defending a NET Architecture they were trying to crack. I don't know how much I believe Netrunner stories, though. For them, encountering a Wiseman is a lot like hooking a really big fish-- the Wiseman always gets away after a long, exhausting battle.

Rocklin Augmentics Alpha Class

The Alpha Class is the quintessential Full Body Conversion body -- a high standard proven through time. An attractive, yet affordable entry-level model, the Alpha Class is the first thing that comes to mind when you think "Borg." Go with the gold standard! Go Alpha!

Cost: 9,900eb
Package HL: 21 (6d6)
Install: Hospital (Requires Biosystem)

Foundational Cyberware:
Cyberarm x2, Cyberaudio Suite, Cybereye x2, Cyberleg x2, Cyberskull, Internal Linear Frame Sigma, Neural Link
Bundled Cyberware Suite:
Interface Plugs, Subdermal Armour

Just saying this makes me feel old, but back in my day, this was the model of choice for first-timers. They were the first bodies on the market. Back then they were manufactured by IEC. Now, Rocklin Augmentics makes them. Old or new, the Alpha Class is still the go-to model for tuners looking to make a baseline second or third body to work on. I think it still makes a great first model. It's gonna look great on you!

-Samantha Stevens

Composed of Durable, Ultra Light Polyceramics, Foamed Alloys, and other Hybrid Materials, the Alpha Class body is designed to bear a stronger resemblance to the human form. It is anthropomophically structured to integrate with standard human ergonomics with little or no difficulty

You'll get to meet a Kildare pretty soon! We call him Doc Salvage. He's that Medtech I mentioned earlie, the ex-Rocklin one. More than any other FBC, Kildares have the best reputation because of their association with Trauma Team. Everyone thinks Trauma Team is gonna swoop down to save them if they need medical help -- right up until they remember they didn't buy a membership package.

-Samantha Stevens

Available to only licenced MDs, (or anyone with enough cash for the "special fee"), the Kildare is a medical miracle. Once the doctor is housed in their new, tireless body, they will have access to a wide variety of built-in medical equipment
