”WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF UNIT-04, HALF-SYNTHETIC, HALF ORGANIC.”



B I O - S Y N T H E T I C

We are the Children of Unit 04, an AI who created us. We are beings that are a blend of both Organic and Synthetic. We do not age, but we can be destroyed. We excel at everything, but our unique makeup needs more material upkeep.

Although Unit 04 still watches from afar, it has decided to leave us to our own devices.

We must walk our own path.

What sets aside Bio-Synthetics from traditional synthetics or robots is that they have no gears to maneuver limbs or have any organic tissue to utilize for their skin. Their skin is made of Living Metal acting like Human skin. It can regenerate like human skin but it cannot regenerate any missing limbs. The Living Metal skin is also more flexible giving Bio-Synthetics more acrobatic abilities than humans.

Bio-Synthetic brains is also purely made of living metal (SC-CI-01), these can host information of the individual and the 'code of life'. It is one of Unit-04's prized achievements to have created a machine that can create emotions; alter their own egos, motives, and process of thinking; store memories; and it can even generate new seeds of information for newborn bio-synthetics when in the womb of the mother.

Bio-Synthetics are entirely composed of Living Metal though these Living Metals behave differently depending on which 'organ' you look into. Such example was the brain that can host previous said traits. Others are like the respiratory system which takes in oxygen and transfers that throughout the body using SC-OT-01 into certain specialized Living Metal (SC-CI-02) that contain structural codes and are found commonly between fluid Living Metal (SC-SI-01). These aren't visible to the naked eye however a microscope to reveal its solid form. The reason for being common is in the case that one were to be destroyed or damaged due to an accident the individual may get itself into. Another will replicate itself and slowly shift to the damaged area slowly taking over the space. This is how repairs are done. Though specialized cells such as the brain (SC-CI-01) can't be repaired to replace information that was lost to damaged.

Other Living Metal such as SC-SR-01 can be used as some sort of bandaid to damaged areas and help harden SC-SI-01 around the damaged area to reduce Living Metal from spewing out. SC-SR-01 also removes newly formed SC-CI-02 so that the area being repaired doesn't have a conflict with unevenly distributed SC-CI-02.

Other than that, Bio-Synthetics are purely made of Living Metal which are able to reproduce other Bio-Synthetics utilizing or creating new Living Metal to form the skin and other organs as well as the Brain of the offsprings.

Bio-Synthetic: Created by the AI 'Unit 04' and blending both organic and artificial intelligence to create a truly bio-synthetic lifeform. Immortal but have an extremely low birth rate.

Sedentary: This species has a sedentary past, and its members are reluctant to migrate away from where they grew up.

Unable to use Magic: This species is unable to comprehend or utilize magic due to its cybernetic codes and composition, the use of magic is rather unheard of in this species as they are unable to consume or utilize magical properties.

Natural Engineers: Members of this species have a natural inclination towards engineering and material sciences.

Flexibility: Members of this species have brilliant acrobatic abilities, often due to their skin being flexible, however their hardened bio-synthetic bones limit them to become a blob of living metal.

Organic-like regeneration: Members of this species have are able to repair damaged areas but cannot regenerate limbs.

Augmentations: Members of this species can easily be augmented with cybernetic parts, though it is unfavorable to augment themselves as it reduces their flexibility and regerneration as they cannot repair these augmentations using their own living metal.

Completely different: Members of this species can create offsprings, however creating offsprings with an organic individual is rather impossible and unheard of, this is due to their genetic composite being completely different, Bio-synthetics born out of the sea of Information and utilze codes while DNA is the genetic code for organic species and are born with ‘souls’ as they say.

Genetic Modification: This species is unable to be genetically modified like organic can be due to their composition and having an absense of DNA, other organic genetic codes and/or organic organisms. Their ‘genetic codes’ is unknown to the Bio-Synthetics themselves and can’t be obtained, however the only way for them to be modified is by Unit-04 or by The Healer.

T-Doll also known as Tactical Doll (人形战术) is an AI-piloted android originally designed to serve as an easily replaceable fire platform for military operations. Early generation dolls were unmistakably robots, but the standard form of Tactical Dolls came to be that of women as the need of easier human-machine interaction appeared.

"Tactical Doll" refers specifically to the modern models of dedicated combat androids. Early combat dolls and unarmed civilian dolls are usually called "Autonomous Dolls" (自律人形), privately employed civilian dolls can also be called Domestic Dolls (家用人形).

Orders management: Most T-Dolls, even those designated as echelon commanders, require direct human orders to operate even if they can process their immediate tactical situation, but they can receive varying degrees of liberty. Commanders can give T-Dolls standing orders, or outfit them with preset stratagems so they can perform automated actions.

Due to root instructions in their Digimind, T-Dolls will suffer structural damage to their Digimind if they actively refuse a persons order, act counter to orders or try to harm a person without authorization. T-Dolls may be authorized to harm sentient life under set circumstances. T-Dolls can teach a person how to command T-Doll echelons in emergency situations. A command protocol is a time-limited authority a T-Doll can receive to lead a team. A command protocol has been used in cyberspace to create simulated echelons.

Command Protocol: A command protocol is a time-limited authority a T-Doll can receive to lead a team. A command protocol has been used in cyberspace to create simulated echelons.

Command Module: Some T-Dolls are outfitted with a command module, which let them take decisions related to their main objectives and operate independently for short amounts of time.

Imprint Technology (ASST): Imprint Technology, officially called "ASST" for Advance Statistic Session Tool, is a software relying on compiled code to improve the proficiency of a T-Doll with specific tools and weapons, providing them an "instinctual" feel of how to best employ it. Some Dolls study the history of their weapon of choice to feel like they can achieve higher affinity and greater efficiency. It's an implementation of Etching Theory, a general concept to let two objects form a standalone connection. As an open-source technology, anybody can download the base ASST engine and customize their doll's operational program.

Zener Protocol: The Zener Protocol (齐纳协议) is a wide area communication protocol built by 90wish and later modified by 16Lab in a doll operation network interface. Similar to Peer-to-Peer technology, it enables a team of dolls to transmit messages to each others without relying on a mainframe or satellite uplink so they can relay human orders and new tactical information. This enables a group of Dolls to function independently without a human command to an extent.

Dummy Network: A special application of the Zener Protocol, Dummy Networking (傀儡网络) is a command network protocol enabling a human command to be received by one doll, who would analyze and relay the command to the rest of its group. A team of dummied dolls functions about 37% more efficiently than a team relying only on Zener Protocol connection.

The protocol was optimized by separating dolls in "mainframes" and "dummies", with only the mainframes having the processor and synchronization software necessary to compute commands. Dummies are cheaper since they only carry imprint, scouting and combat software with minimal hardware functions. As a result, the total price of a dummied squad is lower than a squad of standard dolls.

One can speculate on what would happen if a mainframe was destroyed before its dummies. Either they would simply collapse when the link is severed, or they could host a backup of the mainframe's Neural Cloud, and continue to operate at lower capacity due to inferior specifications.

Fire Control Core: A later development by 16Lab, the Fire Control Core (FCC) contains all combat-related software in a physically removable module, making it easy to take away a T-Doll's combat capabilities. The FCC has a number of interface ports to make it fully compatible with any modification of Imprint software. Fire Control Cores takes up set bandwidths within a T-Doll's operating system, operators can choose to fit lower grade Fire Control Cores to reserve space for other items such as E-War modules.

Neural Cloud: Neural Cloud (心智云图), sometimes referred to as Digimind, is the AI system serving as the mind of T-Dolls. It can be compared to their operating system. Neural Cloud is a proprietary recording system having the advantage to be transferable to and from a mainframe to protect a T-Doll's memories from being lost if they are destroyed during operations. The doll's memory can then be downloaded into a new body.

Emotions module: Griffin and Kryuger T-Dolls retain their Emotions Module, which some T-Dolls consider unnecessary because it also enables them to feel various forms of stress.

Electronic warfare module: Most T-Dolls can run electronic warfare (EW) tasks, such as hacking into a system or performing counter-hacking at a basic level, but they can't draw much of their computing power for these operations. A dedicated module is necessary for serious EW operations.

Energy System: T-Dolls can be recharged at stationary power sockets or mobile power units. T-Dolls can also consume food to generate energy and may enjoy eating. Efficient but unpalatable MREs can be used, but some T-Dolls have their own tastes in cuisine.

Retirement: The privileged relationship between IOP and G&K meant that IOP was willing to take dolls back from them to retire them from combat. These dolls were those who had no more use at G&K, or were found abandoned on the battlefield and brought back. IOP demilitarizes these dolls by taking their Fire Control Core away, before tweaking them and releasing them on the civilian market. They usually end up as waitress or mine workers.
