Machina
The Machina are the last remnants of the Giants’ Empire. When the Giants disappeared, the Machina sought allegiances with what the Giants called the “Lesser Races”.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Machina, at their core, are just soulstones. They can control any aura-wired technology that they are inserted into.
Biological Traits
Souls who live eternally in crystals, Machina protect their fragile hearts with complex feats of engineering.
Genetics and Reproduction
Machina reproduce by a process they call 'transmission', wherein two machina touch an Aetherium crystal and simultaneously transfuse their Auras into it to create a new Machina soul.
Additional Information
Uses, Products & Exploitation
Aetherium crystals usually run out of charges, yet a Machina's soulstone seems to burn perpetually; providing a nigh-limitless source of power for certain technology.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Only a handful of Machina still exist in the world today.
Civilization and Culture
Naming Traditions
Machina bestow their children with the names of Computing & Engineering components, to instill a sense of purpose.
Gender Ideals
Machina are devoid of any biological sexual characteristics, and simply choose their gender, if any.
