This page is undergoing a major overhaul in preparation of an imminent update. Consider this page to be a WIP until this notice disappears.

Bionic augmentations, commonly shortened to just bionics or augs, are specially crafted human body enhancements that can improve various aspects of the receiver's body and performance. In essence, any being that has received augmentations is usually referred to as an augmented person, an aug, or an H+ (H referring to Human, as augmentations are for humans only).

In MazeWorld, augmentations are enhancements that can modify or improve the contestant's body, upgrading various aspects of his or her performance; and so permanently. They can only be found 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 augs 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 in the same way he "enhances" people via installing implants on clients.

Bionic implants may only be installed on humans and halflings, as Lance refuses to work on anything that isn't "human or para-human", and does not consider youkai, for example, to fit the definition.
