Now is the time that I create the full proposal for my Cyberpunk RP. Inspired by Dennou Coil, YuGiOh 5D's, Deus Ex Machina, and many others; I hope to create a unique experience in terms of how things will go about. For this RP, I want to let the plot and events be totally player-driven; which basically means that me and possibly one or two others will act as "Story Masters" or whatever where you throw your plot ideas at, what you want your character to do that may impact the entire setting, and then we just kinda keep track of everything and let you know what works and what doesn't. So let's get down to business about what this RP is about.

Interested!

Questions!

Does the technological advancement only really revolve around the INU and things related to it--basically, networking and information exchange, or have things like cybernetics and whatnot advanced as well?

Can an avatar be manifested as separate from a person? I ask this not because I want to use any kind of "summon fights for me" thing but because I had an idea for my character to be an avid player of an AR Fighting Game where the two players stand in ring-type things on the edge of the playing field, and their avatars manifest on the field itself and respond to their movements, and they fight. There would be force feedback but not really on a painful or lethal level, just enough to know that you're getting hit and whatnot--actual "punishments" for getting hit would just be reflected in the Avatar's HP loss, "status effects" etc.

Then when the character gets recruited/contacted by a faciton I haven't decided on yet, he gets a Proxy ability that allows him to become his avatar and related other skills that allow him to mimic the abilities he had set on it in-game.

If you've ever seen that one episode of G-Gundam where Allenby is first introduced it's like that.

The virtual fights sounds like something they would have, but also something that would be going on for the higher-class citizens. Lower-class citizens COULD enter into the fights if a manager spotted them, but they definitely wouldn't be spectating. The fights could be done by placing each combatant into an 80's looking cyber suit that simply just copies their movements and applies forces where they were hit (but nothing lethal as you said). Throw on a bunch of unnecessary neon lights and you're gold.

The technology in the city is pretty high, but cybernetics would be limited to prosthetic limbs. As I said before, trying to avoid the whole super-strength thing to keep power-levels at a manageable level. Transit would be maglev trains, cars would have auto-pilot, and robots would be commonplace enough that they could just be janitors. So overall, pretty high-tech.

Having a proxy-ability that changes you to your fighting avatar's appearance and then get abilities that and enhance punches and kicks would be A-OKAY. Just no abilities that make him stronger/faster, but being a professional fighter would make him pretty dang fit for a guy anyways. Heck, you could do a lot of Execution abilities to fit that theme as well.

I was more thinking that the virtual fights are like, an arcade kind of thing. More VR Street Fighter than some kind of UFC or pro MMA tournament type stuff. Thus you don't actually have to be super fit to play it, just enough that you can move and do stuff. Having HP bars and stuff like that would mean fights don't go to the limits of a player's stamina, just to the end of the avatar's points.

What about MMO gaming? How would that have been changed by all this? Does LARPing become huge now that AR can literally change your house into a dungeon?

Gaming in general would be uplink stuff with your INU. Not like "In-The-Matrix" gross neck-dildo plugins, but general devices that hook you up to complete immersion games. Of course, these games don't have the deadly consequences VR-games in most shows do (for obvious reasons).
I should also mention. A person doesn't have to discover how to remove the limits on their INU. This can happen by freak accidents, or something completely different as well involving outside sources.

Aw, I was imagining a group of nerds putting on their virtual robes and wizard hats in the kitchen, then activating their INU and watching a green wireframe overlay the house then turning it into a cavern. They start exploring, and the living room with the TV left on becomes a giant chasm with a pulsating lava flow and they have to jump on the furniture to get across it...

eh, maybe it'd be a thing for kids, whereas "real" nerds would just go full VR like everyone else and leave their fat cheeto covered bodies behind while they explore the unlimited virtual realities.

Added a poll since apparently not many people looked at this?
