Bleach Cyberpunk AU

Drawing (sometimes heavy) influence from Deus Ex, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Ruiner, Cyberpunk 2077, Shadowrun, Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Armored Core 4, and more (especially @crimsondeaki’s Augmented IR art: 1, 2; but not only that)...

The year is 2093. The world as you know it is over.

The concept of the nation-state is obsolete, with all examples extinguished in the National Dismantlement War (ND War) fifty years ago. With nations went the ideas of citizenship, rights, and accountability.

Earth and its orbital environs belong to the Global Operations Technical Enforcement Institution (GOTEI), the militarized end-product of the various Private Military Companies (PMCs) which destroyed the status quo. The ranks of its leadership still include the most skilled survivors of that conflict, such as Yamamoto Genryūsai and Unohana Retsu.

Its operatives, known as "Shinigami"—death gods—serve as judge, jury, and executioner, implementing GOTEI’s iron-fisted rule. Despised and feared, their ranks grow ever deeper, luring in recruits with the latest in personal military hardware—mechanical augmentations and "zanpakutō." Supposedly a man-machine interface with a linked combat AI, it is actually something far more sinister: a technologically-induced multicore. True AI remains elusive, and it is much easier to split off a bit of a soldier’s personality to form a new, highly aggressive “individual” suited for patrol and warfare.

As far above GOTEI as the Moon is from the Earth are the Four Great Zaibatsu (FGZ)—Fujita, Hasegawa, Kuchiki, and Shihōin—and their various allies and subsidiaries. Megacorporations that backed, funded, and equipped the technologically superior forces of what would become GOTEI, they are today behind the R&D, design, manufacture, distribution, and retail of virtually all manufactured goods. They control everything.

In this new world order, ability is second to augmentation—nothing beats the latest and greatest in technology. The FGZ represent the ultimate in the new corporate aristocracy, immortal and immaculate. Beneath them, the masses teem in finely stratified castes, sorted and regimented by what they can afford. At the very bottom of the scrapheap are the unaugmented.

However, GOTEI’s rule does not go uncontested.

Standing out from the background noise of violence like gangs and doomsday cults are the KwNZ, or “Königlichwehr für das Naturalistisch Ziel” (”Kwen-Zee,” Royal Force for the Naturalist Objective). Claiming descent (or splicing) from a supposed supersoldier who fought in the ND War, they are anti-mechanical neo-luddites who advocate for an equally cruel and supremacist system based on genetic engineering, gene-splicing, and eugenics. Ruthlessly suppressed by GOTEI, their activity appears to have dwindled in recent years, but their lingering presence in various conflicts and constant memetic attacks on the global network prophesying the “Return of the King” are constant.

Although death is—for the rich, anyway—seemingly a thing of the past, something worse than violence and accidents stalks the unaugmented populace: a mutagenic virus known as “Hollow.” Its origins unknown, it’s widely rumored to be some sort of biological weapon unleashed during the ND War, and twists the infected into horrible monstrosities that insatiably hunger for human flesh. The Shinigami, hated though they are, seem to be the only thing keeping it in check.

But in this dark world, where the mechanically and biologically augmented rule, the emergence of a new technology—and the meeting of two very particular individuals—means things are about to change.

Kuchiki Rukia: a lowly soldier in GOTEI, she is nonetheless the adopted sister of the head of the Kuchiki Zaibatsu, Kuchiki Byakuya. Lightly—yet exquisitely—augmented, she bears a secret from her time on the streets that will change the world forever: the world’s first operational and self-replicating fusion of hylonano and bionano technology. Hidden within her during her youth by a GOTEI commander and scientist (Urahara Kisuke) before his defection and disappearance, this technology has been largely quiescent within her despite adapting and forming something of a symbiotic relationship. Until, that is, one fateful and bizarre encounter activates it...

Kurosaki Ichigo: seemingly an unaugmented nobody, Ichigo has always been unusual in little ways. He doesn’t bleed as much as he should. He sees things other people don’t see. He has an unusual reaction time. His intuition and situational awareness are preternatural. He doesn’t have to work out. The reason for all that is simple, if unknown to him: he’s the son of a KwNZ commando who was infected with Hollow, and a GOTEI commander who was also the last great hope of the defunct Shiba Zaibatsu. His body is laced with modified genetics, cyber-implants, and an ever-changing virus. In other words, he is the perfect host.

When Rukia saves Ichigo from a berserk Hollow creature by literally throwing her body in harm’s way, he becomes infected by the nanotech within her body, and it activates in both of them. While he very rapidly acquires new and ever-changing abilities and modifications, she seems to weaken greatly, her body beginning to reject her augmentations and seemingly leaving her a healthy but normal human. With no other choice, she presses him into service fulfilling her patrol route for GOTEI and teaches him what she knows.

They soon meet that same Urahara Kisuke, and quickly rescue the world’s last truly sapient and unchained AI.

While limited and restricted AI (such as Rukia’s “Chappy” assistant) aren’t uncommon, the last effort to develop something more ended in a purge. Too obsessed with the finer points of female anatomy from all its time soaking in the Urahara Shop’s infonet to bootstrap itself to godhood and initiate the Singularity, it demands to be called “KAI” (”King AI”), only for Ichigo and Rukia to instead dub it KON (”King Of Nothing”).

Unbeknownst to anyone but Kisuke, Rukia’s comparatively normal physiology is simply taking longer for the nanotech to modify and adapt to. Together, Ichigo and Rukia are the first nanoaugments in a world of mech-and-bioaugments...

But sinister forces with their own agendas are everywhere.
