	'''Physrep Requirement''': All members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are in possession of at least extensive cosmetic augmentation; it is a core part of their belief that ‘the flesh is weak’, and as a result most are nearly fully cybernetic. It is alright to still have some flesh displayed, but you should be visibly covered in augmentation. It is important for these to be visibly physrepped, as it allows characters with Tech-Powers to see that you are a valid target for certain calls they can make.
