Virtually Real: Evolver Options

Note: This was done as in the mid to late 90's as part of another project but I'm adding it to the Virtually Real folder to better describe the Evolution System or Evolver's capabilities. Due to the fact I'm seriously considering allowing fan participation in the story I thought it might be a good idea to put up some of the notes I work from.

First up we have the skeletal & cartilage phase options.

Strengthen: Part of the basic package, your bone structure will be strengthened by adding carbon nano fibers.

Height: You can choose to increase or decrease your height to the desired level, within reason. The unit's modification tubes only allow for subjects of ten foot or less.

Teeth: Repair and replace as needed. This option includes the possibility of custom tooth replacement with such options as fangs or tusks. However it should be noted that it will take time and practice to keep from drooling and/or biting your cheeks and lips.

Cartilage: The cartilage around joints will be renewed as part of the basic package but have you ever thought of other options?

Nose Job: Have the perfect nose without the worrying about scaring. This is a minor change and can later be altered if you don't like it.

Ears: Do your ears stick out? Or maybe you feel that they are much too big or even too small. If you like, we can even add natural holes for all those earrings and you'll never have to worry about them closing up on you.

Limb Replacement: The unfortunate victim of an accident? Or just feel the need for an extra set of arms. We can fix both problems. Results may vary per request.

Fingers and Toes: Too many? Too few? Whatever your flavor three to six we can deliver.

Sex Change: Well, if you feel that you were born the wrong gender then this is the place to start making changes. As the evolver works from the genetic level outward, unlike other surgical options, once this change is complete you won't have to worry about hormone replacement or other related problems. Everything will function as though you were born as your chosen gender. You can even choose to have both genders if that is your preference.

Wings: with this option other categories will be effected. However, it should be noted that this option is cosmetic only. Whether Bird, Bat, or Dragon the human form is not suited for atmospheric flight. However they will allow you to glide so they do have some functionality.

Tail: Ever wanted to get in touch with your inner monkey? Or perhaps that isn't your flavor. Every type of tail is available just let out technicians know what you are looking for. Two things to remember, one you will need to adjust the way you sit considering the reorientation of your tail bone, or bones since they will no longer be fused, and two beware of slamming doors if you have a longer tail.

Bone Claws: You've been reading too many comics but who am I to judge. Just remember that if you break them, even reinforced it is still possible, it will hurt like hell since they are part of your skeletal structure rather than being formed from hair or skin cells like horn and nails.

Complete Species Change: The most ambitious change possible. Are you tired of being human or know without a doubt that you're Furry? Ever feel like maybe you should be more like the animal characters in cartoons? Well this is the option for you. We can make the changes that will leave you in the anthropomorphic form of whatever animal you feel best suits your inner beast. Warning this is the real world and as such falling pianos and anvils, jumping from planes without parachutes, and falling off cliffs can and often will lead to painful injury and death. (Edit: This is now a restricted option due to the captain's moral stance on the possibility of furry on human violence)

Muscles & Ligaments

Strengthen: Have you ever wanted the strength of Hercules or Samson? This option will give you what you're looking for without having a god for a parent or having to grow your hair extra-long. This option is for strength only. For definition you'll have to choose from the following options.

Beefcake: So you not only want the enhanced strength but the bulky body to go with it? If you like going through the door sideways who am I to judge? Just be sure you can afford to pay more for clothing. After all you're going to want to show off those bulging muscles which often leads to ripping in even the stretchy cloth.

Sculpted: This option is a healthy balance between the Beefcake and Twink. You can have the definition of a Greek god or goddess but still have full range of motion.

Twink: Yes, if you want that thin undefined look it is possible to attain even with the enhanced strength. While not often requested we like to be sure all options are available.

Contortionist: Want to be the hit of your Yoga class? Perhaps there are a few positions mentioned in the Kama Sutra that you couldn't manage? This option will give you those abilities. This ability can't be taken with the Beefcake option and is somewhat limited in the mid to upper sculpted range. However it is almost a must for the twink option.

Reflexes: We can string you so tight that you'll be dodging speeding bullets in no time. Warning this is just a saying we in no way guarantee the ability to dodge a bullet.

Circulatory system

Cleaning and Repair: Part of the basic package. Do you have a problem with clogged arteries? Worried that at any moment you're going to have an aneurysm or a stroke? Well, worry no more this options not only cleans the cholesterol out of those straining arteries it also repairs any damage that you've created regardless of age and general health.

System Enhancing: Have you heard that the heart only has a certain number of beats before it starts to fail? With the enhancement option you no longer have to worry as your heart will be completely renewed and be ready for an additional fifty-to-sixty years of work.

Respiratory

Cleaning: Part of the basic package, after years of breathing polluted air you must be relieved to see that we have an option for cleaning the crap out of your lungs. Breathe freely once more. Warning 1: You may find yourself coughing more often due to exposure to new pollutants. Warning 2: This option, while it will repair smoking damage, will not solve your nicotine addiction. If you have any form of chemical dependence, please inform or technicians so that it can be safely dealt with.

Olfactory Upgrade: Ever wonder what it is like for animals that haven't lost their sense of smell? With this option you'll be able to find out. Now I know what you're thinking, "Why would I want to smell that well? I can barely handle the stink of the world as it is." Well, not to worry this is an option that you can mentally turn on and off. As an example you haven't had a shower in a couple of days, we won't judge, just turn off your heightened senses and don't worry about it. However this option can be a real life saver. Imagine you're in the mall and you're kid has just ran off or worse yet been kidnapped. Without even pausing you can begin tracking them before they are out of the building.

Enhanced Efficiency: With this option your entire respiratory system will be made more efficient. You'll be able to utilize all of the air in your lungs if you have to hold your breath. This option works in harmony with the circulatory upgrades. Have you ever heard the tale of pearl divers that can hold their breath up to ten minutes? Well, you can beat them easily as you can now hold your breath up to fifteen minutes and with training it may be possible to go thirty minutes on a single deep breath.

Gills: If you feel like an aquatic lifestyle is your thing this option goes beyond just holding your breath. Just remember if you do any deep diving even with the gills your body will still suffer from crushing pressure and if you surface too rapidly you will need to enter a compression chamber to properly decompress. You also need to know that your new gills are in addition to your normal lungs this can cause the sensation of being short of breath both in and out of the water.

Digestive

Repairs: Part of the basic package. This option will repair your entire digestive system. This includes ulcers, acid reflux, IBS, hemorrhoids, and polyps. Warning unless you remember to tell us that you want special changes this option will also replace tonsils, appendix, and stomach tissue that has been removed through surgery.

Cast Iron Stomach: I'm sure you've heard the saying "Cast iron stomach" from people who seem to be able to eat anything. Well guess what? You can have this same incredible feature. From rotten meat to escargot, tofu to carrots, blood wine to Champaign, it is all the same. Never again will you have to worry about a sensitive stomach. Of course getting past the mental gag reflex is another problem. Now when your husband/wife/mother-in-law/roommate slaps that half burned pan of mystery in front of you and claims it to be "Meatloaf Surprise", the surprise being the after dinner stomach pump. You can safely ask for seconds even though everyone else has crawled off to a dark place to die in peace.

Proper Diet: By popular demand this option has been added to the basic package as well. It seems that there are people who eat almost nothing and gain weight and others that eat nothing but junk and can't gain a pound. Well, welcome to the perfect balance. With this option your body will only absorb what you need leaving the rest to pass through. As long as you remember to take a proper multivitamin you can eat junk food and have the perfect body as well. Warning you will still need to eat items that contain a modicum of nutrition on a regular basis. A "regular basis" is defined as having a proper healthy meal at least twice a week.

Warning 2 you will need to drink a larger than normal amount of water. Yes, water as soda and alcohol do not contain enough water alone.

Taste: With this option your taste buds will be enhanced to the point where you will be able to differentiate the different ingredients in what you are eating. You can even be able to detect poisons and drugs without ingesting them. With training you will be able to judge the properties of herbs and know the exact vintage of fine wine from taste alone. Like the sense of smell this option requires concentration to activate and deactivate allowing you to utilize the cast iron stomach option.

Renal

Repairs: This option will repair all damage to the renal system. This includes replacing any kidney's that have been removed, liver damage due to alcoholism, and removal of kidney stones. Warning this is not a cure for alcoholism and the liver can be damaged again by the continued abuse of alcohol.

Efficiency: This option is tied in with respiratory and circulatory efficiency, as it will allow your organs to filter the blood at an improved rate.

Sight and Hearing

Perfect vision: Part of the basic package, you can see the world as humans were meant to be see it. This option is part of the basic package but why stop there?

Enhanced Vision Options: With the following options you can see beyond the standard human abilities.

Nictitating Membrane: This second transparent eyelid allows for perfect vision underwater. (Edit: this is now a part of the basic package in order to keep the eyes lubricated due to the air circulation on the Runner needing to be ad moisture free as possible.)

Tapeta Layer: with this addition you will have the night vision of many nocturnal animals.

Compound Eyes: Why stick to the human model? With this option you can see the world as an insect sees it.

Independent Focus: This option allows you to focus each eye independently like a chameleon.

Tri-Optic Nerves: Rather than having a single nerve for sensing light this tri-optic system allows you to switch between the standard light spectrums into either ultraviolet or infrared. Warning this option can cause headaches and nausea when you are first adapting to it and again if used too often.

Perfect hearing: Again part of the basic package, hear the world as humans were meant to hear it. Whether you were born deaf or lost your hearing to accident or disease this basic option will restore it.

Enhanced Hearing: With the following options you can go beyond the standard human abilities.

Infrasound: With this enhancement you will be able to hear sound that is at a slower wave length then the normal human can hear. Now you will be able to hear an earthquake or elephants communicating over long distances.

Ultrasound: Ever wonder what a dog really feels and hears when you blow a dog whistle? Wonder no more with this option you will even be able to listen to bats communicate.

Echo location: No this option won't let you produce the sounds that are related to the name but you will be able to use ambient sound to "see" the world around you and navigate if blindfolded.

Skin & Hair

Revitalization: That's right with this one option you can remove those blemishes, crow's feet, wrinkles, bags, and stretch marks accumulated from a lifetime of living.

Skin Color: Yes, that's right, I'm going there. With this option you can have that perfect tan or even better you can go darker for better ultraviolet protection. Or if you already have a dark complexion you can go lighter if you prefer.

Scars: Tired of those reminders of past accidents, surgery, or stupidity? Well, we can make them go away along with other skin blemishes. Or if you prefer we can create new scars without the unneeded pain and you can make up the cool story as to how you "really" got them.

Piercing: This is a popular option as it removes the pain of getting new piercings and because the openings are natural you won't have to worry about them re-closing. So go ahead and get that tongue stud and still be able to remove it during that important board meeting.

Tattoos: This option is primarily to remove tattoos that you no longer want, but it is also possible to change your skin color so that you have a natural tattoo. However if you prefer the look of ink under the skin the procedure can be carried out while you are unconscious in the chamber. As long as you have the image you wish to have added scanned in before you begin the procedure.

Hair Color: That's right you can choose any color you like. From flaming red to indigo midnight our color palate has them all. However for that perfect color be sure to have a reference ready for our technician to get the match right.

Color Pattern: Why stick with a single color? Perhaps you want that shocking blue head of hair but that color doesn't work so well in other areas. No problem, we can change the color to better facilitate other areas. We can even do multiple colors and patterns on the scalp if you want.

Hair Removal: Sick of shaving? Well with this option you can choose just where the hair grows. Never have to worry about bikini wax or unsightly body hair ever again.

Extreme options: Sure having natural rainbow hair may seem extreme but I mean really extreme here.

Horns: That's right; with this option you can really go wild. Options includes such popular choices as the classic ram's horns, a single unicorn horn, antlers that grow and are shed seasonally, and we can even make adjustments so that you can have completely original designs that you have created.

Claws: Unlike the bone claws option found in the skeletal options these claws replace fingernails. Just remember you are responsible for any inadvertent property damage you may cause because of them.

Reproductive

Repair: Never have to worry about that Viagra prescription ever again. If you have a physical problem getting things up this option will take care of it. This option also includes the regeneration of foreskin so if you or your religion calls for circumcision please inform the technician to make the appropriate adjustments.

Cosmetic Adjustment: If your ego needs a boost then this is your group of options.

Male Size Reduction: Are you embarrassed because you are so large you can't wear shorts for fear of lawsuits? Well I've heard that it has happened and we like to make sure you are completely satisfied so slight reductions can be made.

Hung like a Horse: Avoiding confrontation for fear someone will suggest that you need to be measured to see who's bigger? Fear no longer with this option you can literally challenge a horse to such a contest and win. Warning you may find yourself the victim of sexual harassment and exposure lawsuits with this option.

Female Size Reduction: Lower back problems? With this option you can have the most popular cosmetic surgery without the invasive scaring and pain that go along with it.

Knock Out: You want to be able to win every wet T-shirt contest? You really want to be so busty that when you get up close and personal and most of your body is a foot away? Well then this is the option you want and we'll even enhance your lower back in order to support your new dependents. And since there is no implants you can honestly say that "yes they are all natural".

Infertility: This unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your disposition, is a side effect of your use of the Evolver Chamber. It is suggested that if you wish to have more children after your treatment you should have the appropriate samples taken before the procedure. Even if you do choose the basic human only package you will be so far beyond current human standards that you will no longer be compatible. You knew there had to be a catch and this is a major catch.

Immune system

Complete Revitalization: Part of the basic package, with this option you'll no longer be suffering from any of the problems you currently have including from allergies to cancer.

Immunity: This option is the ultimate booster shot and is limited, for now. Your system will easily be able to fight off infection from even the worst killers known to man. Ebola, AIDs, small pox, chicken pox, influenza, and even the dreaded common cold will no longer be a problem. You will be immune to all harmful bacteria, virii, germs, and parasites currently known to man and beast.

Additional information

Even though modification renders the individual sterile it is still possible to have children. This is achieved through the use of the evolver. In point of fact it is even possible to combine genetic material from any form of pairing. However in the case of a female/female pairing the offspring will always be genetically female.
