so, i'm in the process of developing a whole new subgenre to the one most well-known in our presence. it is currently named: mechanaorganics. yaknow, combining the machinery of steampunk, with organics. it'll be smashing, don't worry. but for updates on both mechorg, and steampunk, my blog is now being updated. ......oh, and name suggestions are greatly suggestible, if you so wish to contribute. -_Q good day to the lot of you.

Would that also include things such as clockwork prosthetics?

Kurisu of the Hellfire Would that also include things such as clockwork prosthetics? I'd hope so.

Organic mechs. Cool. The first thing that popped into my head was steampunk Guyver.

City of Lost Children? I haven't seen all of it yet but the villains have clockwork ocular implants and rayguns.

I know everybody's probably getting tired of my referencing China Mieville, but what I first thought of was something like his "remades" and "fReemades", only with the modifications more advantageous...

You know, I was planning a character that would fit well to this.
He had always hated steam machines. Thought that they were too crude and noisy, you know. So he began researching internal combustion in secret (in my setting, a major petrol related disaster prompted the Ministry of Public Safety to outlaw internal combustion research). However, an accident in his workshop resulted in a steel rod being driven through his chest, piercing his heart. He nearly died, but a neighboring doctor heard a muffled explosion from his residence and arrived in time to get him safely to a proper hospital. His heart was patched in places, and outfitted with a mechanical device which acted like a pacemaker. The device derived mechanical power from the movement of the heart, each beat creating enough power to fire a small Tesla coil (reffered to as an arc plate) which shocked his heart into beating again...powering the next shock. He went on to revise his view on steam technology, researching ways to make it more to his own standards.

Awesome!

The odd thing is that it's mechanically feasible...with a few assumptions...like it never breaking down... ninja
