Streets of Vale - Info Dump - "Dolls"
"Dolls" is a generic and derogatory term used to refer to both men and women who have at least all four limbs replaced by cybernetic prosthetics. This term also used for those individuals who have nearly full body replacement.
“Dolls” make up less than 0.25% of the total population of Remnant, as unfortunately many who undergo the required procedures perish on the table, succumbing to shock, rejection, or infection. The process is extremely invasive, time-consuming and expensive.
For the majority of those who survive this surgery, the only recourse for employment, capable of providing enough funds to repay the loans, required to pay the costs for the procedures, is via the sex trade. While there are those that find gainful employment in other sectors, or even as “Street Samurai”... for the majority that is not the case.

WARNING:
Unless a “Doll” is a registered member of the Military, Police Force or a PMC, it is HIGHLY ILLEGAL for them to have combat rated upgraded/modifications. Identification/Capture of such “Combat Dolls” of CDs is punishable by 50 years incarceration, with removal and replacement of the affected limbs with generic base models.
/===/ Legal Modifications (No an Exhaustive List) /===/
Synthetic skin - Comprised of a plastic polymer, this flexible overlay is used to cover the mechanical look of prosthetic limbs, to give a more natural look. Some installations include a transitional color system, that allows the user to change skin color at will. Color range is anything with in the visual spectrum.
Limb Illumination - Inspired by the undercarriage LED lighting systems of street racers, enterprising “Dolls” had LED strings wired into their limbs, to give an illuminated look to those that chose to forgo the use of synthetic skin. This illumination also included just the placing of LED lights in the finger tops, and or toes.
Blood / Air Filtration Systems - A modification, many individuals, not just those with extensive cybernetic alterations, chose to have installed. Enhances the removal of toxic and poisonous chemicals and additives from the air and blood stream. A favored modification for those who like to drink in excess, or smoke.
/===/ Illegal Modifications (Not an Exhaustive List) /===/
Strength Enhancements / Speed Enhancements
Retractable Blades of any type / Taser (Shocking Grasp) Implant
Chemical Injection or Vapor Dispersal Systems
Integrated firearms / Smart-Link Targeting System

Fascinated by people just getting into WTNV and asking if there is a list of episodes to listen to, omitting the "unimportant" stuff I assume.
Chill, you all. Night Vale has been ongoing for around 11 years and it's yet to show any sign that it intends to end any time soon, so you can take your time. Even if it ended soon, there is time.
Enjoy the episodes as they are. Chew on them.
WTNV does this very special thing of making the town feel alive, not every citizen gets an arc or even a spotlight, but they're constant, they're there, living their lives. Those little details, little mentions of everyone growing and continuing living as time pass make it feel so nice.
And then, one day, Night Vale surprises you, and, oh, hey, remember that one intern whose death wasn't confirmed? Well, he has come back, and if you remember him and remember what happened to him at the time, you'll be able to connect the dots of the current arc faster.
The MOST unexpected things come back. The town is alive.
Just enjoy the ride! Enjoy Cecil's voice. Enjoy listening about this friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.

SoV - the Runaway
Jaune Arc, had always wanted to be someone he considered strong, and noble. He grew up reading and digesting anything and everything he could find on paper and on the NET in regards to the figures called "Street Samurai".
He tried, he really did, but even with all his effort he was only ever mediocre when it came to combat of any type. Still he would not let his dream die, and at the age of fifteen he vanished from the small home city of Ansel to the metropolis of Vale.
(Image generated by perchance ai text to image)
For the next six years he worked as a courier. Ferrying paper and electronic data between various clients. While he continued to train, in an attempt to better his combat skills, though what he found he was best at was being unnoticed.
Yet he still wanted to be a "Street Samurai" to be known as a guy that could protect people and get jobs done.
