A prosthesis is a device that replaces a missing body part. Prosthetics in the world of Remnant are advanced enough to allow the wearer full control and move identically to the body parts that they replace, frequently with added abilities.
Prosthesis
Prosthetics can even take the place of half of a person's body, as seen with James Ironwood, who has his right arm, right leg and the right half of his torso completely replaced by a mechanical prosthesis. This extreme case, however, requires Ironwood to wear a device on his forehead that wirelessly connects with the prosthesis in order to control it.[1]
The gun in Yang's prosthesis
Weapons, such as guns, can be integrated into prosthetics. Mercury Black and Yang Xiao Long, for example, have guns within their prosthetics. While Mercury's guns simply have a barrel always present in each heel[2], Yang's gun tucks away into her forearm. Both of these dramatically increase attack power.
Mercury's prosthetic legs appear to also utilize cyan-colored Dust in some way, as seen when one powers on and begins glowing in "Beginning of the End".
Doctor Merlot has both a prosthetic right arm and left eye. The full capabilities of Merlot's prosthetics are unknown.
Maria's prosthetic eyes help her see clearly, but they only see in a light blue tint.
Tock has sharp metal teeth implanted into her jaws, which she can use in battle, such as when she breaks one of Maria's kamas in "The Grimm Reaper".
First seen in "Lost", Tyrian Callows gains a prosthetic tail after Ruby Rose cut off his stinger. Similar to the original, this robotic tail is capable of releasing venom, through a protractible curved needle.
Mechanical prosthetic body parts are able to channel and be protected by the user's Aura, much like standard weapons.
Accessibility Dialogue Assistant
An Accessibility Dialogue Assistant, or simply, "Ada," is a device intended to aid people with disabilities, specifically, blindness. The device takes the form an almost invisible piece that is used as an earbud. It is designed to send sonar pulses to scan the nearby environment, to give users 'artificial sight.' An Ada device is activated through voice control, which takes the form of a female voice. Additionally, the system is set to adapt to the user of the device and features a compass feature.
An Ada also features a battle mode called the Cyrano Protocol, which scans the area for nearby weapons, and assesses both the weapons and the user's fighting style. Fox Alistair uses an Ada device in RWBY: After the Fall.
