This will be a thread where I post all the nonsensical lore and world building things for this au. Facts and causality from this world and even a timeline. Now you all get to see how much time I've wasted on this project.
THIS IS AN EVOLVING THREAD AND EVERY POST IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

Cytats
Incorrectly named cybernetic tattoos or Cytats. It is actually several chips and some nuro wiring to give a person low level cybernetics. This leaves skin discoloration and a scar so people have it tattooed over. Often by the same doctor.
Police/Special forces grade Cytats
These cybernetics are implanted in the base of the spinal cord. The screens are casted in the user’s eyes and have features not released to the public. Features include: Ability to paralyze anyone else with cytats. (May take more than one officer if the perp has multiples.) Perp-cloak, self censorship, profile lookup as well as the normal smart phone features are available.
Perp-cloak
Police grade cybernetics have a feature to cloak someone from all cameras within a few feet of the officer. This is to protect the convict from the paparazzi.
Police force disarmed
In 2044 a fighter turned cybernetic doctor and his colleagues lobby with many others to take away the US police force's lethality and reform gun control. They succeeded and now the police force only uses deadly force in case of hostage situations and terrorist attacks. Even that is rare as well. The most common method of subduing a perp is simply paralyzing them via Police grade Cytats.
Cybernetic medicine
A field of medicine that requires a doctorate in general medicine, a doctorate in surgery, a doctorate in cybernetics, at least a masters in robotics and coding and at least 5 years residency to practice. A minor in art or a class in tattooing is also recommended.
Cybernetic Research Law passed
In late 2032 new laws are passed to allow cybernetic research to skyrocket. Due to petentioning from a famous UFC fighter after an accident and their University.
Gadgets
What Slickstein calls all of his weird inventions so they fall under one patent he got years ago.
Temp Couture
Biodegradable clothes in high fashion.
Most top fashion brands have developed wax and plant based clothing that is made to devolve in about a year. To protect the environment, their brand and because fashion trends are always temporary.
Suppressed identity
Privacy laws were passed to protect ones identity. Like a real life VPN, individuals can have their last names erased from public files along with pretty much everything else. The government or law force can find a person’s real data as long as it is legally stored away. This doesn’t stop some people from completely disappearing in plane sight.
Self Censorship
This refers to two things. Instead of creators censoring their content or relying on algorithms, people are allowed to choose their own censorship in their electronic devices and even their cytats. This has lead some people being more sheltered while others more cynical in the first decade of the program. The other thing it refers it is the small fraction of the population that has a self cloaking device built into their cybernetics. This is the ability to hide their faces from all cameras and anyone with cybernetics and even cause people to forget them. Less than ten people have this. Dr Claw is one of them. Police forces are not permitted to hide their own faces with these methods.
Imprint religion
The religion of leaving your Imprint in the cloud and through social media in life. It is a less cynical alternative to atheism and agnosticism.
Zap and Cap
A common form of kidnapping in the 2060s. This is using a taser or cattle prod to short out someone’s cytat so they cannot call for help. Because of this, tighter regulations of tasers were instated and people will sometimes have a secondary cytat.
Online school by default
After several pandemics and economic reforms, all schools became online in most countries by default. This allowed children to have more time to learn practical skills and enter the workforce at a much younger age. The working age is now 14 (With limitations).
Decentralized and deprivatized colleges
In the 2060s, most brick and mortar colleges are dissolved in place of specialized online classes. Some are on site but most are taught by a private teacher or in small groups. Classes are much cheaper and have lower standards for enrollment but much higher expectations. Students are usually expected to finish a class on their own time with in one to four months. This goes for most fields of study.
Micro apartments
Based on the capsule apartments in Japan and turned up to far too many in one spot, Micro apartments are state of the art homes in a compact tower. Apartments can rang from the size of a large closet to the size of a standard Japanese apartment. Today’s architectural marvel, tomorrow’s dystopian slums.
