happy wbw!! what's your favorite setting detail for IQRUS?
Happy WBW! <3 Thank you so much for the ask!
My favorite is probably the fact that the mutagenetic aspect of the water was the reason why augmentations and the whole cyberpunk culture was invented in the world. There's a point where the mutation can be so advanced that an arm for example becomes useless and so they can switch it up with a robotic one. However, not everyone will do it, only if their livelihood depends on it, because it's very pricey. This need, unintentionally, created a new profession. Trashmech are mechanics in the Aquor Sector, who couldn't get a job in higher sectors, and collect parts of thrown out or defective androids from the landfills to make augtmentations by themselves. They will not be as professional and they most likely will be at least a little faulty (like robotic legs that won't straighten flawlessly if you want to stood up, but get stuck when you're in a half-sitting position and you need to smack a good one on it to get it working again). But, they will be cheaper and that's better than nothing.
