But this aura how is it affected by the physical body? Does it need some meat to ground it? If you're a full on Borg does that cut you off from it? it is more metaphysical and entirely soul based, and thus with the right training you could trick your mind into thinking your metal bits are your real body and use it uninterrupted?

Questionable Questing

It is the soul within the flesh. Cybernetics are discouraged as they can be overloaded if not properly trained to channel the flow of inner life energy containing emotions and will
Andy333
How do you train to combine the two? Just learning how to properly meditate and flow the energy through the new bits? Or is it more spiritual and emotional?
Bob is bob
To align the body of the soul with the substance of the synthetic and integrate it as part of the whole
Andy333
What else have you got going on in this setting? Other than a strange mix of cultivation, self actualization, and body modification. Lol
Bob is bob
Unsure. Narrow focus is best. Elemental mutated beasts could be fun. The main idea is guns and cybernetics and tanks, all these things can't remove the Eternal ways of honor and you have corporate nobility mixing armies of hyper tech soldiers with personal aura power in themselves
Andy333
Would be cool to see corporate honor duels mixed with big events where kind of like Naruto's Chunin exams where they have these big planned out fights which companies, clans, and edgerunners use to show off their talents and raise their reps.

Edge running inner Ki martial arts colorful hyper violence is the goal

Do we have any enchanted weapons? Because the only thing more metal than a chainsaw katana with a hypersonic frequency blaring from it that cuts through anything is if it's possessed by the souls of ten thousands victims of war roaring for revenge.
Bob is bob
Nothing beyond personally infusing a favored weapon over time
Andy333
Making it an extension of your soul? Or carrying your song? Could be cool to have a weapon that literally sings or talks to you as you use it.

More pregnant beauties.

Extension of soul. Rule is everything is physival contact for aura interaction. Now, you amp up aura and do a soul drowning water punch wave that's fine but it emits from the body

I love how they ain't dead and Makima in this AU became a yandere harem maker sub for Denji by how she grabs those girls waist
Andy333
Makima's just fundamentally a lonely miserable person. If she had a family or a loved one she probably could be reformed, the only issues is that her powers are so powerful it's impossible for her to learn how to trust someone since it's too easy for her to just force them to like and trust her which means she never properly learns how to trust thus continuing the cycle.
Andy333
But water punch waves? Now I'm just imagining someone emitting beams of light and fire though the air trailing off behind them every time they punch.
Bob is bob
Soul draining dark energy tsunami
Bob is bob
And that's why her reincarnation is Denji's daughter
Andy333
Denji's daughter that acts more like Power than the cool collected Makima. lol. If she could only see herself, would probably hate it.
Andy333
But aura is it only something humans can do? Can animals be either forced to or learn how to channel it? More esoteric things like AI's, can they learn it?
