/cyb/ - Cyberpunk Fiction and Fact

i dont think this is a pony board at all

>>156
Rule 3, zigger.

OC incoming
safeguard pone

name and background badly needed

>>465
>safeguard
>art-style
Is this a Blame Reference?

>>466
yup
they want you safe, anon

>>465
~Spooky, although it could be a bit cuter.
Also, when can I see my hardcore gravitational-beam gun?

>>465
>robo waifu
>not a biopone

But in all seriousness I like it this board needs more OC.

>>469
>biopones
I have a doubt
how do you discern a biopone from a natural pone? wombtank pics only?

>>468
>gravitational-beam gun
working on it

>>476
Differently shaped irises, bodies, heads, tails, wings, and limbs. Different patterns and colors, different smells, and different behaviors.

>that pic
Kek 10/10. Exactly why I wouldn't trust brain augments.

>>465
I say changlings would make pretty good safeguards too, especially with their uniform look and ability to transform.

>>479
I wouldn't want anything that was implanted directly into the brain, but I would definitely want nootropics, genetically modified psychobiotics, and transcranial electrical stimulation treatments.

>>481
Be careful. Artificially influence your brain too much and Jews/psychopaths could really fuck with your mind.

>>482
I doubt they could fuck with my mind if they didn't have direct access... or At least they couldn't fuck with it anymore than they already do.

>>483
There's also the chance that the (((government))) could require you to take such modifications, or demand direct access, for the sake of (((regulation))) or (((treatment))).

>>479
This.
It's just chilling to imagine a foreign entity messing with my thoughts.
It wouldn't even have to be direct either. They could could subtly manipulate your emotions, or insert subliminal suggestions into your brain. They could even drive you mad so gradually you wouldn't even realize someone else was fucking with your head.

>>476
Nice pic, I like how crude modifications work

>>491
Eh. I doubt a unicorn's horn grows back like a rhino's does though...

>>492
Why wouldn't it?

>>493
A Rhino's horn is softer, and is made of a substance similar t hair. I'm pretty sure a unicorn's is bone.

>>497
No,it's not bone or else it won't get soft when you warm it and most it.
>Pic related
But notice the curvature on the horn, it doesn't completely fall on raras forehead, something inside the horn is supporting it up while it's exterior it's soft;
This means that inside that horn there must be live bone, that would also explain why when an unicorn's horn breaks they wrap it with a gauze, it bleeds and leaves the bone exposed, which it's painful.
So it's probably made of keratin, or chitin, keratin does bend but I'm not sure if it would act like raras horn in pic.
Either that or they are made with some other protein but it's not solid bone.

>>498
A unicorn's corn is an organ in and of itse,f, so it's probably composed of several different kinds of tissues. The quick of the horn likely has blood vessels flowing through it, and millions of nerve endings as well.

>>497
>>498
>>499
A unicorn's horn has to be at least partly solid bone, even if it's coated with a softer substance.

In mythology, the unicorn's natural enemy is the lion. The clever lions have a knack for cornering unicorns near pomegranate trees (they love pomegranates). The unicorn, startled, would instinctively try to impale the lion with its horn, only to get it jammed into the trunk of the tree, then the lion would make its move. This means that the horn needs to at least be hard enough to: 1)Be used as a weapon, and 2)not be broken in the wood of the tree.
(pics slightly-related... I couldn't find the correct tapestry)

>>500
Keratine is hard, rhinos horns are made mostly of keratine, in nature lots of animals have horns made of keratine, it's quite a popular material for horns.
(That and dead bone, like antlers, antlers are dead bones and just that)

>>509
s-sorry...
Sweet OC pic. The graphic gunshots in that manga were the life of the comic.
Also, is that fingermane based off of Fluttershy...? It looks vaguely similar to her's.

>>510
>is that fingermane based off of Fluttershy…?
yup
Augmented biopone next? any requests?

>>511
Try some changlings. They'd make for good safeguards designs.

>>511
I want to see a pony version of Cibo. Killy wold be nice to see too.
>tfw no hardcore gravitational beam-gun

>>512
>>513
on it
updating tomorrow

>>511
>biopone
What exactly would a "biopone" actually refer too though? Do you mean something like an artificial pony, like the synthetic humans in BioMega?
A unicorn design would be good for that. Would probably have powerful telekinesis that it could discharge through the gun (it did get jammed qite a bit in that manga though).
>>512
If Changlings were the safeguard, then what would be Silicon Life?

>>515
>Silicon Life?
Griffins: hybrid/chimera body parts and deadly melee attacks.

MANE: Blonde
EYES: Blue
WEIGHT: 110
DISPOSITION: Even
MOOD CODE: Rotary-Adjustable

>>515
bioponez refer to genetically modified ponez.

this one was a mess to put together

updating in 1-2 days with Killy/Cibo and at least an original biopone

>>534
That's awesome!

>>534
Interesting choice in colors. Looks like an older, rusted one.

>>534
Awesome, love the details

>>534
Cool

>>560
s...sorry to be late, I've been slacking.
I'm putting myself to work tomorrow as I come back from a goddamn reenactment.

>>561
That's fine. Take your time.
I just wanted an excuse to post that image.
That timeskip wasn't even that long after the 80 year long elevator ride.

>>560
I watched the movie today. It was amazing. I read that there are several other movies that precede this one
plot-wise.
