Lore
Developed by Vault-S industries in the depths of Segari. Synthetics are the lasted development in arcane technologies. Being a combination of both Arcane cybernetics and artificial biology Synthetics come equipped with a variety of tools, weapons, and augments. Each is developed and designed to be completely unique. Each Synthetic has a Vedalken Overseer whose job is to create and watch over a synthetic in its incubation stage before it is trained and sent off to perform its role in society.
Synthetics can come in a wide range of colours, shapes, and sizes, each with unique augments designed to help them perform with maximum efficiency.
Being products created by Vault-S industries Synthetic services are sold to wealthy individuals and powerful organizations to be used in a wide range of roles. Normally a Synthetic is designed with a certain role in mind. These biomechatronic humanoids don't normally have personality or empathy being created only to serve the purposes of a designated master. This can make most races see them as heartless objects used to please the whims of their creators. However contradictory to the wider belief, Synthetics do have their own feelings and emotions with some rare cases forming their own free will, either on their own or through outside influences.
These Synthetics are considered "Defective Products" By Vault-S who send out low-numbers (Powerful Synthetic enforcers) to capture or terminate them.
