body mods.

It wouldn't be a cyberpunk setting without body modifications, right?
Body modifications in Dualis come in two flavors, cybernetic implants and magic tattoos. There are a number of shops in the city that provide these services; some are specialized in only a few offerings, while others have a wider variety available. Feel free to handwave your characters obtaining these modifications wherever you'd like, once it's approved below. If you come up with a shop that you think might be useful to other players or eventual plot, please add it to the locations page!
Cybernetic implants alter a character's physical characteristics and come in three sizes - small, medium, and large. Small implants are things like bionic vision, enhanced hearing, a metal tooth that picks up radio frequencies, etc. - these cost 100 duos apiece. Medium implants include things like enhanced speed and increased strength, and cost 200 duos apiece. Large implants usually include something that replaces a limb or major organ entirely, and cost 400 duos apiece.
Magic tattoos can be of any design and almost any ability short of high-range teleportation or anything world- or game-breaking - if you're unsure, check with a mod. You can reference the list of D&D spells for inspiration or choose something available from your character's canon. Small spells - the equivalent of cantrip-3rd level spells - cost 100 duos to acquire. Medium spells - 4-6th level - cost 200 duos to acquire. Large spells - 7th-9th level - cost 400 duos apiece.
All new arrivals are given a voucher for one free small implant or tattoo in their welcome packages, though they are not obligated to use them. Characters may acquire up to a total of twelve body modifications in any combination of implants and magic tattoos.

Character name: Connor
Journal:
Type of mod requested: Implant
Description: An upgrade that would let him recover from wounds like a human, because right now if he gets cut open there's no way of fixing it. He could scar and need medical help to heal like a human too, but basically muggle human-level self-healing ability.
Slot number: 1 of 12
Type of mod requested: Implant
Description: He wants to be able to eat and drink - so basically a simple stomach. Something like EDI's body in Mass Effect - a small tank in his abdomen that he can empty out? I guess? Why did Bioware come up with that. Why did I remember it.
Slot number: 2 of 12
How will you be paying? SO these are both large, so 600 duos. Connor makes 500 a month (full time + part time) and doesn't eat, so he has almost certainly saved up that much in three months. (If the voucher can get him a 100 duo discount, he will gladly take it)
