I believe the Access Card would be in the guardian's name until the child reaches 18 years old, but it'd be incredibly easy to look up the family name and determine they do have the Access Card in their family's possession.
Is a child required to have an Access Card? A child under 18, under 12, even? Or is the Access Card required by their supervisor/parent?
I was thinking of making a guy like your typical noir private eye that started like will Smith in IRobot (by far one of my favorite Asimov stories)

Any possibility of exceptions for the children of particularly influential families? I'm thinking of playing the child of a wealthy politician.
In the vein of politics, would each district/zone have their own legislation, or is there a single mayor/council? I'm assuming the government is still democratized, corrupt as it may be.

There is mainly one single governmental branch - a President, if you will, reigns at the top with others below him a lot like American government but not as large. If you were to play the child of the president, I have no problems with that however with how things are, if the child is under 18 they would most definitely have a body guard or two with them at all times (in which case THEY would provide the access card) but if the child was over the age of 18 then yeah, they would have their own access card and pretty much have free reign anywhere unless an order from the President acting as the father states otherwise (like, "hey, she's grounded from D-2 today"). You could also probably get away with playing the child and an older sibling who is meant to look out for them instead of a body guard.
Cyberpunk rp? Where have you been all my life? Throwing up a CS for this definitely!

So it's more akin to a dictatorship, without the illusion of democracy? When you say "below him" would that include any kind of legislative process besides "President writes a law and it happens"? I'd rather not play from the President's lineage because I want the character's father to die early on. I'm not trying to be difficult; I just want to know my options.
Okay so District 0 would hold the majority of the political fields; the Government acting like a "Big Brother" in that what the President says, goes, however each District in Zone Alpha DOES have it's own Governor, however it is kind of known that they are more puppets than anything, simply placed within the respected District to give some sort of semblance that there is control. It's a dictatorship disguised as a Republic. Zone Beta also has Governors but there's only 1 for every 3 Districts (10, 12 and 13 being governed by one man, for example).

Regardless of being puppets, I'm sure attaining governorship comes with its own perks and prestige. I'll be making my character one of their spoiled children, trust fund and all. I'll likely have a CS tonight.
Haha this is actually a re-vamp of an RP that Ghost, Mach and I were in over a year ago. Where were you THEN? XD
<Snipped quote>
Fair enough. XD I wasn't here!
Character is a cybernetic tinkering type. He supplies the Beta Zone and has contact throughout this zone. His cybernetics are not of Alpha zone quality, but he does as best he can. He may or may not have connections within Alpha Zone, but he keeps this a secret. He does however, offer installation services as well...for an extra fee.
Does this idea work will it fit?
So like an unofficial doctor(ish) type of person who deals with mechanical implants in the human body in Zone Beta? Probably works with unofficial calibrations and installations to those who don't want a hospital record or what-have-you? You can totally let me know if I misunderstood that lol.
<Snipped quote by YoshiSkittlez>
Yes! That's exactly what I was going for.
