Cybernetic Enhancement

Greetings ladies and gentlemen, my name is Hellion, I am the company AI, you have met my sibling AI, Xavier and Eva. I am here to tell you about the many things Nexus have created that help you and others. This company was founded by a Japanese scientist name Hori Kurimuzon and his fellow scientists, their main goal was to help and fix the many problems that the war that lasted up for 10 years caused, most of the problems that were caused by the war was destroyed cities that is now a Barren waste land waste land full of toxic waste and radiation, the creation of mutants, destruction of the environment, loss of resources and pollution. The brilliant Kurimuzon have developed many fantastic technology and inventions.

X-020677:

X-020677 or X-2, are robots that was created to serve as bodyguards or as enforcers, X-2s are capable of hacking, combat, wield weapons, detect mutations, scanning and weapons built inside of them.

Artificial mutations:

Ever since the discovery of mutations, we found a way to create our own mutations. We called them artificial mutations, they serve many purposes, including parents wanting their children to be mutants, so they can protect themselves from any danger that come their way or make them immune to any disease. They can be used as bodyguards, workers or servants. How they are made is that, we take the DNA of two individuals, which are the parents and then we use them to create a child, we then alter the child DNA turning them into a mutant and bingo, a artificial mutant is born, when they are born they are implanted a tracking device and tattooed a barcode on them, they can be identified.

Turrets:

The company has created turrets around the city to protect it from enemies outside of the city.

The Nexus corporation building:

Our building is made up of our highly advanced technology, our building consists of advanced security systems, like cameras, metal detectors, mutant sensors, anti-hacking software, turrets and X-2s as bodyguards.

Cyberware:

Nexus have developed the most popular and advanced cyberware, like tech upgrades, combat enhancements, and even fashion statements. We made many cyberware for some medical purposes as well, some cyberware allow you to call people without using a phone, some cyberware have weapons for protection, some cyberware can enhance someone physical granting them superhuman speed and strength. There so many possibilities when cyberware.

Their so much more to talk about, but we ought time, so farewell ladies and gentlemen and have a joyful evening, goodbye and good luck.

Hello, newcomers and welcome to Neo City, home of great technology, I’m Xavier the AI and I am going to be your guide to show you around the city to help you understand the who, the what and the where and tell you what to do and not to do in the city because this city is not for the weak…or the poor. So let’s get started.

Your home:

Your home can be anything you imagine, you can have a home that have ten bedrooms, five bedrooms, four kitchens or a machine shop, where you can build all your cool gadgets and machines. What really matters is the location of your home, because there certain areas in the city that you probably don’t want to be in, like a area near a train, traffic or anything very loud, or a area that have any radiation, toxic waste, gang violence or any violence in general. You get what I mean, find a place that is safe for you and your family.

The citizens:

Our city is very diverse, made up of diverse people, ranging from different ethnic groups and cultures, we got Caucasian, African, Asian , Hispanic, indigenous people, cyborgs and mutations…did I say mutations? yes I did, even tho mutations or mutants whatever you want to call them, are considered dangerous by other and heavily discriminated by others, they are happily accepted in our city but sadly for other safety mutations must be registered in our database, not only do mutations get registered, cyborgs also gets registered, we will talk about both mutations and cyborgs in the future.

The Nexus corporation:

Let me tell you about the Nexus corporation, the the Nexus corporation is the most popular corporation among all the other companies, Nexus is the reason why this city was made, they help build it with their technology, what is Nexus? Nexus is a company that develops unique and powerful technology mostly for the military and also for the public.

Gangs and organizations:

The City Consists of different gangs and groups, most of them very dangerous and which you should avoid at all cost, let give you a quick rundown of each of them.

The vipers:

The vipers is a all female gang, that is all about protecting each other from people who hurt them, they are very open arms to others but they can be very violent, if you hurt one of their own. Each member call each other sister showing how close to one another. They are mostly found in bars or clubs, They not territorial and don’t look to expand, they true goal is to protect their facilities and their members, they normally wear clothes that are designed by their brand, all I got to tell you is to never wrong them or they will get their revenge.

The berserkers:

The berserkers are very dangerous and very unpredictable, this group is all about physical power and strength, they are not the biggest fan of using cyberware in their community, so they use other things, like implants, a super steroid called “enhanced” and mutagenic drugs that enhance their strength. Most of them are hired as bodyguards or bouncers, they can be very dangerous so stay clear and don’t join them because the drugs they use can effect your health and your mental state.

The scavengers:

If you have any cyberware on you, stay far away from this Individual's because they are known for stealing cyberware from buildings, on the streets or even individuals and then they sell to the black market, most of the time they will find and capture a random person who has cyberware and strip them of it leaving them for dead, usually targeted individuals who have fancy or expansive cyberware on them, it doesn’t matter who you are, if you have cyberware they will get you.

The heretic:

This group is all anti-mutation Group , they believe in everything all natural and normal, they believe that mutation is corrupting our society and that mutation are not natural, most of the time they go around looking for mutations to beat or kill, they use different technologies and cyberware to find and locate mutations, so they can eradicate them. If you are a mutation please be careful.

The mind assassins:

This is another dangerous group, this group is made up of people with powerful psychic abilities, this group is mostly hired for assassination or as hitman, they are not very easy to be found, because they mostly kept secretive and also they don’t want to be found, they group is very mysterious, their group is made up of people with psychic powers like telepathy, telekinesis, empathy, clairvoyance, astral projection, etc. you shouldn’t get on this group bad side or be on someone hit list because this may be your last day on earth.

The new breed:

This gang is made up of mutations, they group was created because of the discrimination they suffered from over the years, they are open armed to all mutation no matter what they look like or who they are, they all about freedom and being treated equally, they would get their hands dirty to achieve it, either by killing, stealing, assaulting, blowing up buildings, vandalism, arson etc. they like the x-men, if the x-men were terrorist, they mostly target humans and they will always protect their fellow mutations, this group and the the heretics are at war with each other.

The cyber warriors:

The cyber warriors is all about cyberware, they mostly work with the scavengers to buy some cyberware, they heavily modify themselves with it, to the point that some of them look more robot then human, implanting themselves with cyberware have became a addiction to them, they are very violent people who kill anyone they see innocent and enjoy doing it , the more powerful cyberware they get, the more violent and dangerous they become.

The red oni:

Now for the final group, the most powerful and dangerous organization that is feared by everyone, this group originated from Japan, they group is made up of humans, cyberware users and mutations, they have powerful weapons that is very advanced, how they got this is unknown, their a rumor going around that they are being helped by another company, but their currently no proof of it, they are the most biggest gang in the city like the yakuza, they have the most skilled and trained warriors, they will attack anyone who crosses them to the point where if one member is attacked, the whole full force of the red oni will be after Them. So be very careful with them.

The end:

This is the end of our tour, I hope you enjoy your stay here and I hope to make a better future for you, all the advice I can give you is to stay safe, don’t do drugs, stay away from gangs and live your life, now good bye and good luck, signing out.

The history of the K.R.E.F and its primary divisions have been well documented for many years. Its membership however is relatively lacking in regards to information on them, due to many of the enhancement methods and equipment they use being too new or obscure to properly document. Ever since the 2030s however, things have gradually changed to allow for better understanding of the ranks, enhancements, and equipment, even outside the K.R.E.F.

The enhancements in particular require training and psychological evaluation to gain, and are offered to any agents in the Combat Group, but can be acquired by those outside it. The methods used for enhancement come in three classifications: Superhuman, Cybernetic, and Hybrid.

Those that become Superhuman gain boosts to their physical abilities and senses, as well as one or several biological traits unique to them. These can include hardening the user's skin or allowing them to slow their perception of time, among many possible abilities. It's possible for an individual to lack a unique ability of their own, in exchange for physical abilities that surpass even those of other superhumans.

Cybernetic enhancements work in an entirely different way. Rather than enhancing the user's body through serums and genetic alteration, these focus on modifying the body by incorporating high end technology. Built in weapons, scanner vision, synthetic organs, and even cerebral augments are possible, depending on what a person can handle and what their preferences are. Individuals with these enhancements are often the main candidates for mech piloting, as it's easier to connect their mind to a machine when they've already been augmented. However, depending on the number of augments a person has, as well as their mental state, it's possible for them to lose their sanity.

Hybrid enhancements are the most recent, and some of the most uncommon. Similar to superhumans, hybrids undergo intense training before their enhancement procedure. Rather than augmentation via serum however, gene splicing is used to incorporate Kaiju DNA into an individual's body. Those that choose this procedure can outline traits they want in advance and send a DNA sample for compatibility testing. While kaiju DNA is unstable and prone to mutation, this is exploited by modifying it to reduce the risk of harmful changes and increase its compatibility with a user before integrating it into their body. Results of this vary depending on the individual and the kaiju they merged with; visible mutations such as horns, tails, claws, and fangs are especially common. Alongside enhanced physical abilities, the user also gains an ability, trait, or multiple that the original kaiju possessed, such as generation and control of a form of matter, breath weapons, environmental alteration, etc. Depending on their compatibility rating, it's even possible for hybrids to achieve temporary transformations into the kaiju their DNA came from, though this is exceptionally rare and dangerous

Beyond individual members and enhancements, each division also has ranks of their own. These include C, B, A, S, and X to measure the overall capability of any given agent. While each group has different standards for their ranks, such as creativity or completion speed, it's generally understood that S is the highest most can reach, and that the higher the rank, the less populated it is. X Rank is reserved for the leader of a group, who's focus is on supervising and coordinating efforts around the country they operate in. If a situation requires it however, they can arrive in person. There's also D Rank, reserved for trainees who haven't met the requirements to join a group of their choice.

Due to the publicity of the ranking system, individual agents can and have been treated as celebrities, especially those in A and S Rank. The K.R.E.F also publishes its records as well, allowing the public to see details on completion speed, skill level, and achievements of individual agents.
