Beliefs

Philosophies and Attitudes

Cyborgs vary widely, but key shared themes:

  • Transcendence Through Integration: Many see their state as evolution, not loss.

  • Flesh is Imperfect: There is a sense that humanity’s collapse was due to its limitations.

  • Memory is Sacred: Personal and collective memory (stored in tech or dream-code) is a cultural pillar.

  • Divinity is in the Machine: Some sects believe the divine spark can exist within code, and Monicues are the soul’s algorithm.

But not all Cyborgs agree:

  • Some despise what they’ve become

  • Others seek to return to full organic life through forbidden tech

  • A rare few aim to shed both flesh and machine, becoming pure psionic energy

Mythology

Myths and legends associated with the ethnic group.

Unique Traits

  • Signalweb Access: Collective consciousness link — passive emotion sensing, shared visions, occasional “ghost echoes.”

  • Rune-Tech Affinity: Natural attunement to Monicue-powered devices. Some interface by thought alone.

  • Self-Repair or Adaptation: High-level Cyborgs can rewrite their own code in emergencies, mutate to adapt, or temporarily overclock.

  • Psionic-Machine Hybridization: Certain elite are Machine-Psions, combining neural processors with telekinetic bursts or thought-hacking.
