This article (Guild Cybernetic), is unfinished in many areas so that anyone can come in and fill the missing information!
Due to the nature of this page, it requires many smaller sections done separately, instead of one arcing vision. Themes, writing styles, and different viewpoints can all be had here. Let your imagination run wild!

## Guild Automail

*"Patricia Pertiwi, Ruffian. A woman barely alive. Gentlemen, We can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic woman. Patricia Pertiwi will be that woman. Better than she was before. Better. Stronger. Faster."*

-Isambard Kingdom Brunel, making the first Automail prostheses.
The Guild isn't well known for their applied medical science. Having neither the applied science advantages their friends in south america has nor the large scale medical resources their subtle friends in the east have. When it gets down to it, operations are done in the field, and with ruffians as a common denominator, things don't always end up in the hands of the medic. Inventors, the Guild's inherent multitaskers, often find the armless patients in their sheds, between the oil and the grease, somewhere down below the transmission axle of the Saw-Suit. As luck would have it, There were pieces of wood, metal, and gears nearby. Soak the wound in spirits, slab a cogmatic joint between some straight bits and attach it to the arm. Make sure to attach some sort of gun holder to it and the patient's ready for round two, which either means a transport to whatever medical aid can be found behind the lines or simply another dip in the big people blender that is war. So unique, in both creation and appearance, that the Guild's prosthetics would gain a nickname as the Pahit faced more of the prosthetic-bearing soldiers, Automail.

Automails vary greatly, as the inventors themselves vary. From simple wooden replacements to hooks and peglegs to fully articulated carbon fiber scaffold legs covered in artificial muscles and skin made of tubings, silicone, and collagen that feels realistic to the touch and iron lungs constructed from drained oil vats, the Inventors try to relieve the already strained medical offices of the Guild as much as possible, with mixed results. While the Automails are far from flawless, they do seem to work effectively enough. Sadly, they are rather common among the more veteran Guild soldiers, and the future holds many Automail arms for prospective ruffians.

In comparison to the Empires cybernetics and the Syndicates battlesuit. The Guilds Automail are large, crude, pieces of wood or metal that are immediately noticeable. But it compensates in being significantly tougher and stronger at cheaper prices in comparison, with some Guild soldiers even cutting off their own healthy limbs to get Automail replacements. And the highest-end Automail, such as Victoria, looks and feels so close to the flesh and blood it replaced that it’s impossible to know if it’s real or artificial.

## Steam-Powered Limbs

Of course, if it was just that Automail would have simply been called prosthetics. What truly earned its name, and made it vastly different from the likes of the Empire and Syndicate.

Agartha water. An alchemical liquid whose creation process is zealously guarded by the Guild, for they fear what happens if it falls into the Pahit's hands.

Formed during an alchemical accident that took the life of its creator. Agartha water looks like regular water, if not for the foul taste and is lethal if injested, until it comes into contact with blood. Where the water transforms into steam which can be manipulated by the blood's “donor”. Leading to the creation of prostheses that can be finely manipulated like flesh and blood and the ability to increase their power by pouring in more steam. The only downside, of course, is that uncontrolled use can lead to blood loss or a heart attack.

(WIP. Basically imagine the prostheses used in Levius)

## Armour Under The Skin

*"I may have \*clears throat\* gone a little bit overboard..."*

-Victoria, reflecting on the new size of her "ballistics".
(WIP. Use silicone, modified by Guild alchemy, to double as sub-dermal armour)
