 Always Human (Webcomic)
comment
Always Human is a scifi romance webcomic set in the distant future, focusing on the developing relationship between Sunati, a VR environment designer, and Austen, a university chemistry student. It is written by Walkingnorth.The most prominent scifi element in the story is the ubiquitous use of "mods", applied nanotech body modifications capable of practically everything from cosmetic changes to improved memory. Austen, due to an irregular immune system, cannot use them, which present no end of difficulty for her when everyone else has access to easy fixes for everything from hay fever to needing a memory boost for a test.

comment
I Am Not Pretty: Due to her lack of the extravagant mods other characters use to change their appearances, Austen doesn't think of herself as attractive despite being cute as a button. This has been the case for her since childhood.

comment
Ambiguous Gender: Several supporting and background characters are this on account of the readily available body modifications, relaxed gender norms of the setting, and general aesthetic of the character designs. Yasel mentions possessing breasts to go with an outfit as one would suggest putting on a different hat.

Bio-Augmentation: "Mods" are used by nearly everyone. They can provide some rather drastic changes in appearance, such as modified ears and eyes; important medical upgrades like cancer resistance; and specialized features like zero-gravity adaptation for space travelers.

Fictional Disability: Austen's Egan's Syndrome is an autoimmune condition that leaves her unable to use the Bio-Augmentation mods that are ubiquitous in the setting. Being ineligible for mods like memory boosters and physical augments forces her to put a lot of extra work into her studies and her health, and being thought of as Inspirationally Disadvantaged is a major pet peeve for her.
