5e Equipment (Project Moon Setting)

Augmentation In the City, it is better to have physical enhancements than not. With the countless dangers that come with life in the City, augmentations are a way for people to protect themselves. Fixers, Syndicate members, and even the everyday Cityfolk know this, and it applies to them equally. A Fixer who does not augment themselves will only be at a disadvantage against competitors, not to mention enemies, who have already done so.

There are countless augmentation options available, from mechanical exoskeletons or bionic implants to prosthetic limbs and even full-body prosthetic replacements, all of which can be specialized for different uses. The only limiting factor is money, as top-tier augmentation procedures can be highly expensive, and less expensive procedures can be less reliable. The sheer superhuman capabilities that augmentations provide, however, are all but necessary for Fixers, which makes them well worth their price.

Attire Fixers adorn themselves with a wide variety of apparel and accessories, mostly based on their own preferences. In the business, attire also carries a marketing purpose, since a professional and uniform appearance makes Offices seem more reliable to potential clients. Because of this, many Offices use a strict dress code. Each Association also uses a distinct dress code fitting its identity.

While may seem otherwise, Fixer apparel does not sacrifice protection for style. Fixers pay close attention to the fabric used in their outfits, because the fabric is what makes them practical. Depending on its characteristics and quality, fabric can provide as much protection as plate armor if not more, as well as other tactical advantages such as increased mobility. High-quality fabric can even replace an augmentation procedure in terms of protection, making such textiles the ideal armor for Fixers. They will work closely with Tailors in order to obtain clothing with their desired specifications.

Other, more specialized modifications to attire are possible. For instance, Fixers of the Liu Association wear outfits embroidered with the moonlight stone, M Corp's Singularity, which bolsters their resistance to psychological attacks.

Weaponry The weaponry used by Fixers is just as broad as their apparel, from hammers and batons to knives, swords, spears, chainsaws, flails, and much more. Most Fixers will acquire their weaponry and other tools from Workshops, which specially produce and market said products in order to profit off the lucrative Fixer trade. For example, Stigma Workshop creates melee weapons lined with heated wires, while Union Co. creates bionic weaponry that attaches to the body.

All weapons and tools used by Fixers are managed by the Tres Association, which tests and reviews weapon designs, files them to the Head, and charges taxes for them. Using any weapon that hasn't passed its evaluation is illegal.

There is one category of weapons which are rarely used by Fixers: firearms. A number of factors make guns unfavorable to Fixers, mainly that they are uneconomical. In general, two full magazines of ammunition can cost as much as a gun itself, in addition to the heavy taxes the Head levies on all firearm purchases. Suppliers are also hard to come by, as only a select few Workshops are licensed to create firearms, and they are heavily limited on how they can design them. This is a deliberate outcome on the part of the Head, which seeks to discourage firearm use, though no one knows exactly what motives they have for doing so.

Despite their heavy costs and restrictions, some Fixers still use firearms simply because they are so effective. The upside to not many people using firearms is that not many people know how to counter them, either, and so they can quickly and efficiently clear out targets when they are used in the right circumstances.

Fixer Insurance In the City, Fixer insurance plans are one distinct category all on their own. Many insurance companies offer life insurance meant for Fixers, though most of these plans are outright scams. Fixers only qualify for the insurance benefits when they are on the verge of death, and a dead Fixer certainly can't use those benefits. Companies may even refuse to return the money if a Fixer terminates their plan. There are cases where Fixer insurance does end up greatly aiding a Fixer, such as the case of Pameli and her biological body-recovery insurance, but
