Can characters have cybernetic limbs?

Yes, they can, however, these limbs are usually VERY expensive to purchase and come with a degree of risk (such as phantom pain) and must be done quickly after the limb is lost. If you are planning to give your character a cybernetic limb please explain this within their backstory. The Syndicate would fund the limb but it would have to be done quickly after participation.

Can characters have animalistic traits such as ears, horns etc?
Yes they can, but it should be linked to their ability in some way. Similar to how Beast from the Xmen becomes a furry blue beast. This means that your character's ability must fully link to these traits.

What is the clothing style of the facility? Is there a uniform?

There is no uniform, other than that worn during 'testing', participants are able to wear what they like and are able to purchase new clothing at any time via a web search. The fashion styling is somewhat futuristic. Please see the Pinterest board for inspiration. PINTEREST HERE

What's the protocol on state surveillance/CCTV availability and viability in court? Any issues with deep fakes/casting doubt on evidence?
Deepfakes are commonly used but there is at this stage, software which can usually tell the difference between the real and the fake. CCTV is highly prominent everywhere and there is often few areas that are not watched, yet with so much surveillance it is often difficult to go through it and AI have been programmed to do so, something which is only in early implementation in most areas.

What type of currency is most accepted? Do you have your bank account permanently associated with your identity at birth?

Credits are the universal currency of the entire world, it was brought in over a hundred years ago and has allowed for easier trade between countries. Each person is indeed given a bank account of sorts at birth but they only gain access to it when they are the legal age (Fourteen) to work. Not that that stops everyone.

Are people chipped?

No, Over a hundred years ago that practice was used but it was since stopped since grave robbing and limb removal was becoming a serious issue. Instead, things are linked to devices that utilize various methods of security such as voice activation. It doesn't totally erradicate the problem but it prevents most limbs from being removed.

What are some of the good, big-money industries? food and agriculture are listed but what about tech and cybercosmetics or anything else?

Cybercostmetics are very much a profitable area, its something which is only accessible (in terms of quality) to those of wealth and is under constant development. Technology is currently however in the midst of something of a slump, few advancements have been released to the public and it seems as though people are biting at the bit for the next advancement which has impacted stocks and shares on various companies. Clothing is often a very wealthy market, synthetic materials are still the cheaper and natural ones such as silk are far more expensive than they are even now. The creative industries is another industry that is doing very well. Art especially is seen as a luxury as it is no longer taught and the idea that 'talent' reigns supreme has somehow resurfaced. Which is BS but alas.
