What makes a cyberware name worth installing
In the sprawl, a piece of chrome earns its name the way a knife earns its nickname: through use, blood, and a memorable Tuesday. A good cyberware name is short, evocative, and a little intimidating. It should sound like the kind of thing a fixer mutters over a workbench, then shouts across a firefight.
The shape of a streetwise mod
Strong cyberware names lean on imagery, a talon, a whisper, a velvet handshake. Scribes balance the clinical and the criminal, hinting at both the surgeon and the street. The aim is a name that fits on a shop receipt and a cautionary tale in equal measure.
For runners, deckers, and back-alley surgeons
Roll names for an in-house piece of chrome built by a clever street doc, a corporate prototype with a kill-switch, a second-hand mod you should not have bought, or a tabletop NPC whose augmetics tell half their backstory. The codex does not judge the patient. Conjure as many names as the muse permits.
Tips from the chrome scribes
Match the surgeon. Doc-tonic names feel different from Ares names. Lean into the rumor. Every piece of chrome in the sprawl has a story, even the cheap ones. Save a few for the patient's regrets, the ones they swear they will rip out one day and never do.
Consider before you roll
To forge a cyberware name, consider:
- What body part or sense does the mod replace or augment?
- Is the surgeon corporate, street, or both?
- Does the name sound safe, dangerous, or both at once?
- Will the runner brag about it, or hide it under a long sleeve?
- Could it fit on a sticker, a tattoo, or a tombstone?
