As much as we would like to, the mods do not know every single robotic canon out there. We trust that participants are nominating characters in good faith, but we'll still do a quick search on characters we're unfamiliar with to make sure the tags going through are correct. If you think that's a recipe for confusion (say you nominated a character who is identified by the internet-available canon synopsis as a human scientist, but you meant the final incarnation of the character whose mind fused with her spaceship's AI over the course of the story), drop a comment here to let the mods know in advance!

(Anonymous) 2021-04-17 01:51 am (UTC)(link)-Bob Page is a character that can hook himself up to a machine called HELIOS where he can control it and take over the web servers and other technological enhancements. It's part of his nanonite technology in the link. He wants to become one with the machine and make HELIOS do what it tells him. This is what the "disembodied existence" I guess you want to call it that.
-Yes, that was Adam Jensen's main part. There are other characters like him too. Viktor Marchenko and Talos Rucka is another prime example of full cyborg and machine. Most people just select Adam Jensen because he's the main character. Page literally plugs himself up with nano technology embedded in his system.
-When hooked up to the machine world one technically can become immortal.
Deus Ex is a game that revolves around augmented humans and cyberpunk theme. That's what this game franchise pretty much is. I also point out that Adam Jensen also had CASIE augmentations.

Bob Page:
https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/Bob_Page?file=Bob_Page_merge.jpg is what I am talking about.
Also CASIE Aug: https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/Social_Enhancer_(DXHR)
This tells you everything you need to know.
The CASIE (Computer Assisted Social Interaction Enhancer) is one of the many augmentations available in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It serves to make most conversations a bit easier, and adds a bit of replay value to the game thanks to its unique dialogue options.
Let me know if you need anything else. I'm not the best at explaining things. Maybe I can get my friend to help me here.

A human character with robotic limbs would not generally be considered eligible on the basis of this alone which is part of why we were looking for clarification regarding David Sarif. Given the additional information you provided about the themes of the canon, the character, and his augmentations, David Sarif would be considered eligible so we will approve this character as well.
We appreciate the additional information!
