[Shadowrun House Rules] Selling your Body & Renting your Body

Renting your BodyThere are multiple ways in which one might rent their body- described below.

Prostitution: Generally in a night, a player should be able to make CHA*$100. They have a risk of getting arrested if in an illegal area, or being abused by targets, but there it is. Patrons are usually men, for prostitutes of either gender. Being a "woman only" prostitute gets you only 70% pay.

Birthing Surrogate: While electronic wombs exist, nothing can really work betterthan a healthy woman. On successful implantation, the woman becomes pregnant and carries the child for a term of about 9-10 months, during which time they getweak immune system, -1 running modifier, and -2 to strength and body, but may earn up to $90,000 for the total time (or about $10,000 per month). Of course, this is paid at the end assuming a successful delivery (so women that go shadowrunning have to be EXTRA careful!). The woman may also be bothered by the doner parents about her lifestyle. (See the movie "Baby Momma"). Still, for someone who thinks she can pull it off...

Body Smuggler: Not just for drugs anymore, many items can be stashed in the body(especially for people with cyberware compartments or data storage). A good smuggle can take only days and earn anywhere from $500 to $10,000 depending on thegoods. Treat this as a shadowrun instead of some back end stuff.

Spirit Mount: Some free spirits (or astrally projecting initiates with possession) may wish to use your body for a time. Perhaps it's one gender trying to get afeel for what it's like to be another, perhaps they want to get your fingerprints all over their crime scene. Regardless, there is a market for it... this should also be run as a shadowrun, unless it's just minor fun, in which case, treatit as prostitution. You must be astrally active to be able to rent yourself in this way.

Selling your BodyIf you thought this was about prostitution, perhaps you should conider a "renting your body" post instead.

Selling your body is a way shadowrunners can make a little money on the side getting rid of those extra organs. For particularly viscious shadowrunners, perhapsthey can use this as a market for organs they just happened to "find". All suchbody parts have a street index of .75

Selling Blood/Plasma:A person can sell a number of "blood units" equal to his body modifier in a month. Each unit sold decreases his body for 1 during that month, and provides $500.Treat this as availability 4 for purpose of the sales skill.

Selling Sperm/Eggs:A person can sell eggs or sperm. Selling sperm can provide $100 and be done onceper week by fertile males. Treat this as availability 1. Sperm cannot be sold f

rom a dead body.

Eggs can be sold as well. Each fertile female should have a total of about 1d6 egg units they can sell during their lifetime for about $1000 each. They may onlyundergo the operation once, but may sell any number of eggs during that time. Treat this as availability 4. Eggs cannot be sold from a dead body. Egg units represent how multiple eggs are sold at once.

Marrow:A painful procedure, but bone marrow donations can help many people dying from c

ancer or who have trouble pronouncing the "T" in Planetarium. Any month where marrow is donated the donator gets +1 tn penalties to all rolls, as if they had apermanent light wound. They can get $1000 for such a sale, with availability of8.

Duplicate Body Parts:Sometimes you can sell one of those organs you happen to have two of. Each instance provides a penalty for having only 1 instead of 2.

Part___Avail___Price___PenaltyLung___ 10____ $5,000_ Short of breath flaw.Kidney__ 10____ $3,000_ Weak immune system flaw.Liver___ 10____ $1000__ (-1) body (represents loss of part of liver)

Not So Duplicate Body Parts:Sometimes you want to sell something you don't have extra of. Of course, if youtook them off someone else, you may have to go with street index.

Part___Avail___Price__Eyes(2)__ 8____ $1000Heart___10____$3000

A mean harvester can make a biotech roll to remove these from unconscious patent

s. The roll is TN 4 if the patient need not survive the operation, TN 8 if you want them to survive.

As you can see, there is quite the possibility for you to earn some extra money.Such organs must be refridgerated if sold "on the street". A body must be living at time of extraction or have been refridgerated. It can go up to 1 hour without life or refridgeration to be useful. Cyber-enhanced parts cannot be sold as parts, but can be sold as used cyberware instead.

(And, for the record)A full human body, with the proper extraction, provides the following:Eyes: $1000Heart: $3000

Lungs(2): $10,000Kidney(2): $6,000Liver: $1,000Marrow: $1000Blood: Body*$500 (minus physical wound boxes)Eggs: 1d6*$1000 (determine remaining eggs) (female only)

That's $22,000 for partsBody * $500 for blood (average body = 3 = $1500)So $23,500 * .75(street index) = $17,625.

Each extraction should have a base time of an hour. 0 successes means that the part is ruined. Oops means that all the parts are ruined.

Refridgeration units, blood bags, and the equipment should cost about $5000 forthe whole reusable set, about $500 for each body in bags and containers.
