Introduction
"Let's see if everything is running normal." He says and types something into the computer. Suddenly, you automatically say "all functions normal" without intending to. The doctor who was working on the face picks it up and walks over to you. As he seems to be motioning the backside of the face towards you, you black out again.
The next thing you know is that you wake up in a bed in a hospital room. You can feel your body, but something feels different.
A doctor approaches you and says: "Welcome back to the land of the living. You had a bad accident and were practically burnt to a crisp, however most of your brain was still intact. There were however complications. Your DNA wasn't sufficient to grow a body like your old one, so we gave you a fully cybernetic one. On the papers it says you are male. But I am sorry to say that there was a mixup and you now have a female body instead. Your insurance will only pay for this body and the hospital isn't willing to pay another 100 grand for a new male body when you now have a perfectly functioning body. Instead we will give you 20,000 in compensation and maybe you might be able to get a male organ attached."
You are in one way angered but in another way thankful you hadn't died. But where on from here when you had an accidental sex change?
However one person in the vehicle didn't make it.
There is also another problem: You don't have all your memories. You don't really know who you are anymore, yet you still have learned skills. So you practically have a new identity.
Setting: Tokyo
Residence: As further compensation, you have received a small apartment in the New Tokyo residential district. Your friends have received apartments in the same building. Each apartment is fully furnished and has a large window with a small balcony.
Your body: Your female cyborg body isn't perfect as borders between parts are somewhat visible but aside from that you look pretty much like a real human. Your body can last about 50 years without a recharge but you will be reminded to recharge at 50%, 25%, 10% and 2%. If you fail to recharge on time, you will die. You now have the ability to download knowledge and your body is superhuman in terms of endurance, learning and perception while your maximum strength is comparable to a human who regularly does sports, however it is upgradeable. You require to at least eat supplements and regularly drink fluids so that your body can supply your brain with nutrients. Generally you and your friends still have 70 to 90% of your original brains (practically what could be saved or what is necessary). You can modify your body in various ways such as hair color, eye color, tech and some physical features.
Jobs: You and your friends can get part-time jobs as store clerks or hostesses or full time jobs as things like teachers, teaching assistants, technicians or office workers.
Starting point: Hospital lobby selecting starter clothes and about to get picked up to go to apartments.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 3 authors
"Terminator? Silly. We will just see about how it works out with the darts." Aoi said. The attendant give them darts and booted up the electronic dartboard.
"How about we play to 301 first? And maybe afterwards we can go for best out of three rounds." Aoi said. The bartender brought Aoi's drink. She took a sip. "Mmmh. It is sweet and you can barely taste the alcohol. While it is a bit yoghurty, it seems to have a hint of fruitiness too."
While Aoi was enjoying a fruity drink, Tatsuda wondered how this would turn out. Going to be interesting playing darts, hopefully it won’t go through the damn board when she threw a dart. Getting adjusted to this super strength was going to be a challenge in itself.
She did a third throw and got it into the triple area for twelve, totalling 36 points for that throw. "So, I guess I have 87 points." Aoi said.
Meanwhile back at the apartments, Kokoro Kizuri, the woman in the kimono who lives on the sixth floor had found out the three's cybermail addresses and sent out flyers to all three and sent them to their apartment mailboxes just in case.
Back at the bar, Aoi heard a ping as well as a voice saying: "Mail received." "Looks like someone sent me a message!" Aoi said. She saw the sender was Kokoro, the woman from the apartment complex. Inside the message was a flyer for a nightclub called Chrome. When activating the interactive flyer, Aoi could hear Kokoro's voice saying: "You are invited to join us at my nightclub named Chrome. It is an exclusive nightclub only for cyborgs. Every week we have two theme parties. Usually Saturdays we have "natural" nights where cyborgs can shed their artificial skins and get a paintjob in their desired color for the night and so that you don't look like robots in clothes when you leave, we have a machine that can reapply your skin, eventually with darker or lighter tone if you desire. Other theme parties can be costume parties, bodysuit night, tradition wear night or pyjama night. On all other nights, we request you to at least wear clean and decent clothing. Entry is only 15 credits and first drink is on the house. Our amenities include but arent limited to, free internet or cybernet, charging stations and free e-books on self-improvement, open-source knowledge databases and other cyborg related topics."
"Interesting." Aoi said. "It does however seem that she seems to be more than just proud to be a cyborg. I hope it isn't like an obsession of hers or that she doesn't look down on non-cyborgs. We can maybe check it out either afterwards or another night when Kali has the energy for it."
Regardless, after watching Aoi nearly get full points, Tatsuda grabbed three darts herself getting the feeling of playing darts back when she was not made of metal. "Gonna be hard to top that...But my aim is not drunk yet. Lets see if I can top it off." She gave a small chuckle as she aimed the dart at the board and carefully aimed it. She gave the dart a few experimental tosses, throwing her hand forward while keeping the dart in her hand to get a feel for her arm. Strong indeed...Like a natural throwing arm...
With that in mind, she aimed for the center and threw the dart, striking the board dead center and she grinned and clenched her fist. "Yeah!" She spoke, her inner athlete in her cheering her on. She still had it, of course the memories of the bar and friends were vacant, she still remembered that she was good at darts back then. With that, another two tosses and another two direct hits, relying on instinct and gut feeling for all those shots. "Jeeze, its like you point and throw and it lands where you want it. Arm has a killer throw." She commented.
Seconds after their game began, suddenly a voice rung in her head that she received some mail. After taking a bit longer than needed to open it up, she listened and read the mail. Of course...To her the party was not to her taste...It was really directed to cyborgs and definitely to those cyborgs that was viewing metal as superior to flesh...Not her style but if the others wanted to go...Then so be it.
"Yeah...Kinda creepy if you ask me. But if you guys wanna go I'll tag along. Its something to do after all." She replied with a shrug.
Aoi then took her turn again and got a total of 126 points. "Hmm, better than last round. Now I just need to make sure I don't mess up next round." She said.
(OOC: Should we skip over the games and have Aoi win best out of three while Tatsuda wins the 301 game?)
"I guess your right...Guess there's a lot of strange and new things we can do now with these bodies. Still...Nice shot again." Tatsuda nodded as she watched Aoi get a better score than last round. "I rather have normal parties anyways. Never been one for more exotic taste." She added as she threw more darts at the board scoring impressive hits. Going for instinct over calculations and targeting programs.
"Still hard to get used to the strength..." She threw her last dart which hit near the center.
As the game went on, Tatsuda won the 301 game but afterwards Aoi won the best out of three rounds game.
"That was fun. Should we head back to the apartments? I can then get started on my video game, while you guys get some rest. I should have a basic concept with a test field up by the morning." Aoi said to Tatsuda. She finished her drink and asked for the bill.
After paying their drinks, they took one of the late trains back to the area where their apartments were at. "It was a great evening with you. Now get some rest, I will eventually have you guys test the beginnings of my game in the morning." Aoi said before heading to her apartment.
In her apartment, she laid down on the sofa and connected to a central database in her apartment. Her eyes first lit up red before turning an aqua blue. She began to code for her game. Thanks to the quantum processor in her head, time flew by a bit slower and she was able to think a lot faster and therefore code faster. Within an hour, she managed to code what a team of human programmers could do in a day and at the same time she was modelling objects and animations.
By the morning she had already modeled a city and coded most of the physics and some features. With this, the other will be able to create their own characters and explore a city. The city was a fantasy futuristic styled metropolis. Most of the technologies seemed to emit a blue glow and run on crystals. Last thing she had to do is create a means of the others to get into the game as players.
She then put on her choker, a sleeveless white button down blouse and black lace trimmed bike shorts. Then she sat down on her sofa and waited.
After washing up and drying herself, she did not do any cleaning inside since the thought never crossed her mind and got dresse once again. A pair of blue pants, simple green shirt along with a sweater before slipping on a pair of shoes and stepped outside. Now Aoi’s Room was...around here somewhere...And walking around for a short bit she found the correct room and knocked on the door.
She kept lying in the bed, feeling too heavy to move out, ironically. Few minutes passed and she slowly checked what message was sent to her. Aoi wanted to test game, information that woke up Kali a little, she finally got up, and went to pick clothes for today. Simple grey blouse and jeans, nothing more or less, once picking clothes was done, washing time came and lasted bit longer than anything else, even breakfast.
As time flew by she finally was out, in a hallway searching for Aoi’s room, and she stumbled upon Tatsuda.
“Hi, testing game, right” She asked before yawning again.
But then the door opened. "Come on in!" Aoi said. "You can take a seat on the sofa. To log on into the game, you need to connect to the central mainframe of the apartment and activate an icon named Game_Alphatest_Player. You will be asked to make an user account and then you will immediately get into character creation mode. Once that is finished, you will arrive at the starting point of the game in a large city." She almost forgot to ask whether anyone wanted a drink. "By the way, does anyone need a drink? Water? Coffee? Tea?"
"Cool." Kokoro said. "I will have a coffee." To which Aoi made a coffee. Kokoro meanwhile sat down on the sofa and made an user account and began making a character.
“I’d like some water…” Unsure what to do after, she watched as Kokoro sat and began creating character, seeing that she decided to join in, and started creating her own character as well. She sat on sofa as well, her mind visibly in cloud.
Aoi poured some water for Kali and tea for Tatsuda and brought them their drinks. She then sat down to await them in game.
Kokoro modeled a character after herself and the graphics of the game were photorealistic. She then arrived in the in-game city where Aoi was already waiting. Aoi wore a while robe with a choker as if she was some kind of goddess. Theoretically she was the goddess of that virtual reality.
“You look…like what I really dislike.” She commented on Aoi’s godly looks, her voice bit nervous.
(Sure, I could join, but I'll make character tomorrow I think)
“It’s more complicated than that, you present yourself as goddess, which is something I don’t like – an chronicler or old man would be better.” She chuckled, knowing that old man may now sound weird, or not.
Her stare drifted from one place to another, stopping on some sketchy buildings and unfinished graphically cars.
“Well, I don’t want to drive, and buildings look not too great…could I try editing them?”
She turned to Tatsuda: "Yes. I made all this in a night. Give me a month and the city should be indistinguishable from reality in looks and feel and the map should be a multitude larger. If you get injured or die in this place, you should respawn. Currently the game only features basic sensation of touch, but I was thinking about an option to be able to feel pain in game for those who think they can take it."
To made all of this in one night is incredible, but then again Aoi tires less than an average human. Respawn mechanics already implemented by her, basic feelings of touch as well, but the question was…
“What kind of a world you intend to build exactly? You know… having all these details is useless without a good story for world itself.”
OOC - Forgot to reply, sorry ^^
She was certain if she was human she would definitely be sick. But now, she just felt weird...
