Yeah, there's a reason why my Sasha's custom lifestyle has Luxury Necessities.
Your Minigun has it's own lifestyle?
That's why you don't buy knock-offs. If they're designer, people will assume you're a rock star they've never heard of, write off your lack of class, and try their best to ignore you.
Or eccentric.
To put things in perspective: There's a story about a friend of the family that showed up at a department store after working in her garden and not changing out of her work clothes, the staff ignored her completely. The next day, she showed up dressed what was normal for her, which is quite well. The staff fell over themselves to help her.
She politely pointed out that she could buy the store five times over and not give a damn about the cost, and that she had been in yesterday and ignored based on her appearance.
Moral One: You will be treated as you appear. Try to blend in when you want to be invisible. Try to clash when you want attention. Try to be as ostentatious as possible when you want people to remember the clothing and not the person in them. "He was in a human wearing..." "But anything about the human himself? Complexion, eye colour, hair colour?" "Now that you mention it, I don't remember.".
Moral Two: Never assume. That guy sleeping in the gutter in the beat up lined coat that's so old it's cracked? Street Samurai down on his luck and willing to gut you three ways before you hit the ground with his martial arts and cyberspurs before you hit the ground for dissing him. Or, alternatively, someone doing overwatch. Also, he might just be a bum... Who is a contact of an enemy and is being paid to watch and report on who goes in and out of a building.
