[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 3638668, member: 14403"] Personally I think there needs to be a system for CyberPsychosis. If you've never seen it try to get a hold of the AD Police (cyberpunk anime) episode entitled [B]"The Man Who Bites His Tongue"[/B]. After watching it I'm sure you can agree that getting more and more artificial parts grafted onto your body steadily decreases your sanity. I remember that before I saw that episode I really thought it would be cool to play an Eclipse class full conversion cyborg (Chrome Book 2) but after seeing that episode of AD Police the idea didn't seem quite so glamorous anymore. I also agree that the more you look like a robot the more people treat you like a robot be it consciously or subconsciously. To people you cease being a person and become more like a thing. Think about mannequins in the department stores. They look human enough (in most cases) but let's say one animates and you learn that it has a human soul. Even knowing that could you still treat it the same as another human being? I doubt it very seriously.
