Steampunk Physiology

Steampunk Physiology
The Songbird (Bioshock Infinite) is a giant, bird like cyborg creature built from the steampunk technology available in Columbia.
Power/Ability to:	Have a steampunk body.

The power to become a steampunk mechanism. Fictional variation of Bionic Physiology.

Also Called

• Steampunk Body/Form/Robot

Capabilities

User can become or already possesses a physiology based on steampunk: a fictional form of technology and/or aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Abilities vary from user to user, as some may utilize different designs from others.

Some may be reliant on simple elements from coal to water to function, requiring them to 'recharge' or else they will become inactive. Some may use batteries or other such power supplies to set the mechanisms in their physiology into motion. Powerful users may utilize perpetual motion as a power source, running forever unless affected by a external force, storingb the unused kinetic energy for a later purpose, assuming they have a method to do it.

Applications

• Anatomical Liberation/Head Liberation/Body Part Substitution
• Oxygen Independence
• Self-Sustenance
• Semi-Immortality
• Super Strength
• Vacuum Adaptation

Variations

• Kinetic Energy Manipulation
  • Freezing - Possible by drawing away kinetic motion into themselves.
  • Heat Generation - Natural result from their near constantly moving parts.
  • Hyperkinetic Exertion - Achieved via overclocking.
  • Kinetic Energy Absorption
  • Kinetic Energy Combat
  • Kinetic Conversion - Transforming energies into other forms for various usages.
  • Kinetic Energy Emission
    • Kinetic Shielding

Associations

• Bionic Physiology
• Clockwork Physiology
• Dieselpunk Physiology
• Giant Robot Physiology
• Toy Physiology
• Vehicle Physiology

Limitations

• May require consistent stock of fuel (coal, water, etc.) to operate.

Gallery

The Handymen (Bioshock Infinite) are citizens of Columbia whose bodies where permanently grafted with bulky steampunk technology to prolong their lives and increase their capabilities.
