Bionic augmentations (no ontology)

From Mazeworld

Bionic implants, commonly shortened to just bionics, are specially crafted human body enhancements that can improve various aspects of the implant receiver's body and performance. In essence, any being that has received bionics can be considered a cyborg (cybernetic organism).

In Mazeworld, bionics are rare and useful enhancements that can modify or engance the contestant's body, upgrading various aspects of his or her performance; and so permanently, at least so long as the bionic implant is still installed (or the body part it has been installed on is still attached). They can be found at random in the rooms or purchased in a bionics workshop, of which only one exists in the Mazes, and is the only location where those implants are designed, produced and sold.
Consequently, the scientific field of biological engineering is the subject of a Science Team in the Mazes, but is comprised of only one person; Lance Chaosclaw, the only bionics engineer in all of Mazeworld. He is the only person who can install and remove implants; they cannot be used directly by the contestant.

There exists in the Mazes an intellectual movement of small size but of relative importance, which is related to bionics and the wish for improving all humans as a whole, it is called transhumanism. Lance Chaosclaw is a devout transhumanist and believes that the entire human genre should be born enhanced just the ways he "enhances" people via installing implants on clients.

In the unlikely event that two Ninja Speed users are antagonists, they are treated as having the same speed (speed conflict may apply).
