IDENTITY CHIP

An identity chip is a tiny microchip, typically implanted in your wrist for ease of use. Identity chips are high-tech ID cards that function even when the wearer is unrecognizable. On many worlds, the typical protocol for introductions are hands shakes where the identity chips exchange information to confirm each person’s identity.  An identity chip functions as both legal ID and a credit card. You can make purchases even when separated from your funds.

Identity chips can be activated and deactivated as swift actions.  Some governments and mega-corporations use identity chips to track the movements of their citizens and employees.  Identity theft is not unheard of, but almost impossible with an identity chip since it requires the recipient’s DNA to function properly. The identity chip doesn’t count against your total number of cybernetic augmentations.  The identity chip is HUD compatible.
