i may have had to heavily revamp how the carbon plague works but i really do like cybergen.
there are three separate youth subcultures with their own specialties in psychological warfare, overlapping with two others that focus on sabotage. the overlap is a mostly under-twelves group.
the hot new thing kids are getting into (aside from hayduking) is illicit genetic engineering. they trade dna templates of endangered and extinct species like pokemon cards and set up hidden biomes.
morlocks exit and they think the dedicated urbex kids are posers. goths are doing the assassins creed leap of faith and hunt people for sport. there are a whole cult of impersonators, impersonating whoever, bc if the state is going to erode the meaning of reality then lets also play with the meaninglessness of identity.
you and your friends are constantly pooling your money to get cheap pizza bc if you dont keep up the fuel requirements of your symbiotic nanite colonies before they sync with you enough to learn better you might die.
you all get in stupid drama with each other all the time but also have each others backs no matter what bc you are all at risk of being shot or worse by jackbooted fucks any time they get too close.

the resistance is an exaggeration propped up by adult mercenaries and hackers who have their own reasons, but you take what you can get. if theres going to be a future at all youre going to have to fight for it, all of you who can.
theres something compelling to it idk
#anyway the evotypes are cool and all but lets make things more flexible and varied right. the nanites learn and adapt. instead of the#standard locked powerset you can end up manifesting types of nanowear. starting from the more established ones that the greater#nanite collective has been able to sample and growing towards bigger and more complex things. mix and match. someone gets the scout style#hexgoop leg reservoirs but not the rest of the package and starts learning to go springheeled jack manifesting those curved bladestilts etc
