I think the key here is proper categorization. To me, it shouldn't be about amount but more like some sort of severity/classification, like this:

Amputee

• None
• Minor (things like finger(s), ear(s) and so on)
• Limbs (one or more limbs - hand(s), leg(s), tail(s), wing(s))

Brandings

• None
• Discreet (can't be seen when in normal attire)
• Exposed (in visible places - face, hands, neck)

Piercings

• None
• Sexual
• Mild (Little-to-medium amounts in typical places; ears, belly-button, lips, nose, tongue)
• Extreme (either extreme amounts or highly severe - including stretching big holes in body and the like)

Tattoos

• None
• Mild (up to several tattoos that cover up to half of the body)
• Extreme (close to whole body covered, or things like tattooing eyeballs)

Implants

• None
• Sexual
• Cybernetic
• Other?

Scars

• None
• Mild (scars that cover relatively small percentage of body (below 25%?) and are not very deep)
• Substantial (deep scars and scarring that covers substantial percentage of the body)
• Extreme (Big percentage of body covered, substantial damage to body like lack of cheeks, eyelids, burned away face and the like)

I went ahead and updated it with your list Rael because that one makes sense to me as well.

With body mods (and subsequently, cybernetic implants), can we open up the Setting trait group to include Cyberpunk as a trait category?

If you suggest it I will endorse, Ayla. Seems it is not there just because nobody was initially interested.

I think it is reasonable, Dragon - I was making these up somewhat in haste, which is why they will appear rough and need more officially worded descriptions - initial intent was to just show the concept behind categories as I would do them.

This has enough support for me to implement it. I will need to finish my refactor work before this can be done, but will be quick whence that is done.

Basing on discussion in chat, I tinkered a bit with the categories where it was possible, and made some proposed wordings.

Amputee
Whether character's body parts were removed

• None (A character with all the body parts)
• Mild (A character who only lacks minor body parts like fingers, ears etc. in very small amount)
• Moderate ( A character who doesn't have major body parts removed, but lacks several of minor ones)
• Major (A character who lacks one or more major body parts like limbs, sexual organs, breasts etc. or substantial amount of minor parts)

Brands
Whether character's body bears a scar inflicted via purposeful burn

• None (A character whose body is not branded)
• Mild (A character who bears one, small brand that is usually not-noticeable when clothed)
• Moderate (A character who bears several or a bigger brand, no matter the visibility)
• Extreme (A character who bears brands covering substantial part of the body)

Piercings
Whether character's flesh is pierced with objects

• None (A character who has no piercings)
• Sexual (A character whose only piercings are focused around sexual organs and erogenous areas)
• Mild (A character who has no more than a few piercings in typical places,)
• Moderate (A character who has more piercings or in places atypical)
• Extreme (A character who has extreme amount of piercings, extreme size of piercings or his flesh is stretched significantly via use of piercings)

Tattoos
Whether character's body is marked with patterns introduced artificially

• None (A character who has no tattoos)
• Mild (A character who has only a few tattoos or small amount of body covered by them)
• Moderate (A character who has several tattoos that cover larger part of the body or in one batch, like sleeves)
• Extreme (Excessive amount of tattoos, covering major part of the body or in places very unusual, like eyeballs)

Implants
Whether or not character's body was injected with foreign body

• None (A character who has no implants)
• Sexual (A character that possesses implants of sexual nature)
• Medical (A character who has implants for medical or corrective reasons)
• Cybernetic (A character who possesses cybernetic implants, usually in context of science-fiction augmentation)

Scars
Whether or not character's body is marked with remains of old wounds

• None (A character who has no scars)
• Mild (A character whose body bears only a few of small scars, typically shallow)
• Moderate (A character whose body bears several scars or more severe ones)
• Extreme (A character whose body bears large amount of scars or extreme ones that make it difficult to properly function)
