If you had cybernetic implants/prosthetics as an Asset, what designs and tags would you give them?

I’d probably initially give two designs: Neuro which gains the Visor Attire upgrade for free, and Appendage.
Lots of existing Attire and Vehicle upgrades actually work well (Agile, etc) but I’d add something like “Weaponized” to gain a single Firearm or Melee weapon upgrade.
As I’ve said in the past, I would create an “Integrated” Tag that lets you suggest an asset is a part of your body. As a Tag, it upgrades the Class of the item which is balanced by never being without your cybernetic doodad.
So you could Integrate Kits, weapons, and attire, and you would look all cyber’d up. In past games, I’ve had someone with an Integrated Computer Kit, and it replaced most of their skull, giving them a head like a cross between the Borg and Lobot. I would also allow the “Concealed” Tag to interact with the “Implanted” Tag by blending the person’s cyberware with their body.
Conceal an Implanted Computer Kit and no one knows you’re a walking terminal. Conceal an Implanted Stormclaw and your hand looks normal until snikt-zzzz out they come.
I like that, but “Implanted Attire” seems slightly strange to me 🙂
Attire covers Armor, so it’s kind of necessary 🙂
Plus it allows for giving yourself the Sealed tag, and then you’ve got cool NASA astronaut golden lenses covering your eyes and weird internal breathing apparati sealing your nose and throat and you’re just chillin in space like a badass.
