[b]Medical:[/b] Has your character ever suffered from any major illness or recurring past injury that might affect them now? Do they have any serious disabilities or disfigurements? re they currently injured or ill due to the current circumstances (or otherwise).
Also, this section includes cybernetics. The technology for clean, sustainable and effective cybernetics has been available for almost one hundred years. Unfortunately, these cybernetics are frowned upon by many people as unseemly and as disfiguring and ugly as the missing limbs/organs/functions they replace. Moreover, these cybernetics are incredibly rare and expensive. Most cybernetics are seen only on the incredibly rich or on current or ex-military special service personnel. (We don't want or expect to see a whole load of major - or even minor - cybernetic implants. We don't want a multitude of rich doctors or military personnel)
