Hi, I nominated both Glory and Racter from Shadowrun.

Racter's entire lower half of his body is missing and replaced with non-humanoid cybernetic legs in addition to multiple cyberimplants and other non-organic parts of him.

Glory has two robotic arms and other enhancements that she purposefully installed to make her less human and more robotic.

A big theme in Shadowrun is that the more you become a cyborg/elect to replace your body parts with cybernetics the less human you become and part of both character's interactions with others is that they're considered less human and odd because they're more human than machine. If you feel they don't fit into the exchange though feel free to reject!

Thank you for the clarifications! They certainly fit, and they're in now.

Not the nominator, but I can chime in for the Homestuck nominations -

The Psiioniic/Helmsman is a cyborg; he was fused with a space ship to act as a living battery/onboard computer.

All the characters with names ending in -sprite are also... cyborgs? Or whatever the name is when you're a combination of human and software rather than human and hardware. The comic features a video game that affects reality, and one of the ways it can affect reality is by allowing people/animals/etc. to fuse with NPC-like 'sprites' it creates, giving them special knowledge and powers but in return forcing them to follow the game's rules and act as pseudo-tutorial-NPCs for it.

Thank you for the clarifications! They've been approved.

Not the nominator, but in Machineries of Empire, all three of the nommed characters use(/have had used on them) an immortality process in which they become kind of shadow creatures (living a disembodied existence in something called "the black cradle") that can be attached to an "anchor" human. Given the books tend not to overexplain the sufficiently advanced technology it's hard to know exactly how "artificial" the whole process is, but they're definitely not "100% human characters" to my way of thinking.

Thank you for the clarification! It sounds like they fit the spirit of the exchange, so they'll be approved.
