Deep Steel

By JRNY CLUB

The Deep Steel, descendants of the old world's elite, inherited a legacy of elegance and luxury that once ruined the earth. Moreover, they have become the linchpins of political and financial power through their closely guarded secret of BioFusion refinement. This vital process, essential to the lifeforce of all cyborgs, cements their position at the pinnacle of society’s hierarchy. In their hands, they hold the mastery of water, and consequently, life itself.

Their attire often shimmers, a brilliant array of blues, reflecting the hues of oceans past.

The Deep Steel's cities are marvels of the new world, showcasing the pinnacle of architectural ingenuity. Elaborate waterfall communities and imposing lake fortresses that seem to float above the water's surface stand as a challenge to any who dare to threaten their dominion.

Their influence extends far beyond their lavish homes, rippling through the cities much like the waves they command. Even the humblest Deep Steel cyborg is regarded with a measure of respect, a nod to the crucial role their faction plays in sustaining life through BioFusion. Moreover, the Deep Steel can harness bodies of water with less than glamorous intentions.

Deep Steel members can manipulate water flow, using it for construction, healing, and in some cases, as a form of communication. Some are even capable of breathing underwater for extended periods, enhancing their underwater exploration and resource gathering.

Deep Steel cyborgs are crafted from high-grade stainless steel and specialized polymers, ensuring long-term durability in aquatic environments. Their joints and seams are expertly sealed to prevent water infiltration, with pressure regulation systems maintaining internal balance.

Webbed digits are common for swimming efficiency, along with gill-like oxygen filtration systems for extended underwater exploration. Many also feature sonar and hydrodynamic sensors, aiding navigation and communication in aquatic settings. Their eyes can be adapted for enhanced underwater vision, with overlay eyelids designed to see through the water.

Water is life, and the Deep Steel its master. Their dominance in the realms of wealth and power is unchallenged, but as ripples of unrest begin to form, one wonders how long this serene surface will remain undisturbed.
