Model G-14X named Guinevere Steele is an Android of a woman of the same name. Her job is to be the companion to Sonya Steele and take up the mantle as wife, lab assistant, and aid in the Steele Sharks. Most traits have been adapted over such as curiosity of the universe, caring feelings to others, and her reckless habits of adventure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Appearance =&lt;br /&gt;
A homemade Android salvaged from sellers, she is primarily made of parts from the G2 and A0NS line of Androids. A combination of Companion, Security, Thinking Aids and miscellaneous parts Sonya had gathered during collection. Due to being made of Aurelion Android parts, she looks similar to AI from Eden. Her motif is Sugilite due to &#039;&#039;&#039;[ACCESS DENIED]&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

//Sorry Sonya’s consoles are annoying to use. Anyway, I met Maya there and I joined the Wayfarer’s Guild a couple years after she made it. That’s because I was taking care of my infant brother. Oh!! You have to see him. Little Leri is just the cutest guy. He’s grown into such a great fella. I was in the Wayfarer’s for a while til I joined my wife in the Steele Sharks. Rest is history basically. Ah, that reminds me. I was gonna help cook dinner for her tonight with Maria.&lt;br /&gt;

= Personality =&lt;br /&gt;
G-14X’s primary goal is to tend to their wife, family, and research. Upon completion of her task, she will await new orders. She has adapted the traits of being caring towards her loved ones and keeping an open ear to potential friends. She has a fascination with magic, taking a particular liking and skill in crystals and its properties.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Aurelium Exculta|Aurelians]]&#039;&#039;&#039; to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on the planet and typically confiscated and demolished. Their parts then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelians, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions of Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons which then result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstones include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying, &amp;quot;A company won&#039;t succeed without a Genisteel Android&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are not humanoid are often time much larger to fill in warehouses for manual labor while others are simple tiny machines to handle more computing tasks. Even they have shared aspects of a human skeleton just formatted differently. Similar to how some bones of animals are very similar just different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelians they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids typically stay out of most fields of study simply due to their job-oriented lives. There are a handful that participate in more artistic ventures that gain some popularity. Those that take up jobs as teachers are already pre-programmed with the information they need to do their job.&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AndroidHair.jpg|thumb|Hair is often colorful and shiny.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids don&#039;t commonly wear clothing and instead rely on their outer shells to act as &amp;quot;clothing&amp;quot;. Fashion isn&#039;t highly prioritized among Androids but for the few who do care, they can be seen wearing silky and shear clothes to show off their elaborate and shiny outer shells. Although, it&#039;s not uncommon for Androids aiding those in higher society to be adorned in the &amp;quot;loudest&amp;quot; colors and brightest gems to show off wealth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids outside of Eden are found to more commonly wear clothing of some type. Often what ever is common among the those around them for a variety of reasons. It&#039;s typically done to blend in and hide their more robotic appearance for safety reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most humanoid Androids have hair atop their heads that are installed to combat the uncanny vibe they occasionally give off. The most popular type of hair in recent decades has been gem-like hair matching their outer shells. It&#039;s often stylized to the Android&#039;s likes and there are small businesses catered to the decoration of an Android&#039;s looks. These shops also occasionally offer the ability to change outer hells slightly. There has been a rampant outbreak of &amp;quot;fakes&amp;quot; in terms of branding in more recent years. The act of changing an Android&#039;s outer shell to match one of a popular manufacturing company such as NeoSoma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are built for their jobs, very rarely do they switch tasks and instead just switch locations to where they&#039;re needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humanoid Androids handle most of the social tasks and are far more popular&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Teachers&lt;br /&gt;
* Nannies&lt;br /&gt;
* Companion&lt;br /&gt;
* Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More labor intensive Androids are commonly those managing more common jobs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hauling&lt;br /&gt;
* Construction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specialized Android do more computing tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prediction Model&lt;br /&gt;
* Business Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
Those outside of Eden typically do mercenary work and odd jobs. Pilots, deliveries, artistic ventures in the form of performing and art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most Androids have a random quirk of some type that has to do with their souls being artificial.&lt;br /&gt;
** A odd accent that doesn&#039;t fit with any sector of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
** Lack of certain concepts, such as misunderstanding of colors and shapes of animals.&lt;br /&gt;
** Collection of out of ordinary trinkets, the right shoe of others.&lt;br /&gt;
The average day of an Android varies on what they do. Those that work closely with Aurelians adopt their daily schedules. Using downtime from work to socialize, pursue their own interest, and a few rare ones find ways to continue their work to stay ahead of the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are massive and therefore cannot travel outside of where they were installed don&#039;t often have downtime, working nearly 24/7. They do get breaks and rely off those around them to come socialize with them or they simply wait to go back to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are more or less secluded from other species. Most of their interactions are with Aurelians. There are a handful of instances in the form of shipbay workers interacting with those that visit Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelians are commonly viewed as the Android&#039;s creators. They&#039;re treated like neighbors and friends, not so much as overlords nor rulers. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Cursed&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on the planet and typically confiscated and demolished. Their parts then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelians, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions of Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons which then result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstones include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying, &amp;quot;A company won&#039;t succeed without a Genisteel Android&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are not humanoid are often time much larger to fill in warehouses for manual labor while others are simple tiny machines to handle more computing tasks. Even they have shared aspects of a human skeleton just formatted differently. Similar to how some bones of animals are very similar just different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelians they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids typically stay out of most fields of study simply due to their job-oriented lives. There are a handful that participate in more artistic ventures that gain some popularity. Those that take up jobs as teachers are already pre-programmed with the information they need to do their job.&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AndroidHair.jpg|thumb|Hair is often colorful and shiny.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids don&#039;t commonly wear clothing and instead rely on their outer shells to act as &amp;quot;clothing&amp;quot;. Fashion isn&#039;t highly prioritized among Androids but for the few who do care, they can be seen wearing silky and shear clothes to show off their elaborate and shiny outer shells. Although, it&#039;s not uncommon for Androids aiding those in higher society to be adorned in the &amp;quot;loudest&amp;quot; colors and brightest gems to show off wealth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids outside of Eden are found to more commonly wear clothing of some type. Often what ever is common among the those around them for a variety of reasons. It&#039;s typically done to blend in and hide their more robotic appearance for safety reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most humanoid Androids have hair atop their heads that are installed to combat the uncanny vibe they occasionally give off. The most popular type of hair in recent decades has been gem-like hair matching their outer shells. It&#039;s often stylized to the Android&#039;s likes and there are small businesses catered to the decoration of an Android&#039;s looks. These shops also occasionally offer the ability to change outer hells slightly. There has been a rampant outbreak of &amp;quot;fakes&amp;quot; in terms of branding in more recent years. The act of changing an Android&#039;s outer shell to match one of a popular manufacturing company such as NeoSoma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are built for their jobs, very rarely do they switch tasks and instead just switch locations to where they&#039;re needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humanoid Androids handle most of the social tasks and are far more popular&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Teachers&lt;br /&gt;
* Nannies&lt;br /&gt;
* Companion&lt;br /&gt;
* Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More labor intensive Androids are commonly those managing more common jobs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hauling&lt;br /&gt;
* Construction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specialized Android do more computing tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prediction Model&lt;br /&gt;
* Business Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
Those outside of Eden typically do mercenary work and odd jobs. Pilots, deliveries, artistic ventures in the form of performing and art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most Androids have a random quirk of some type that has to do with their souls being artificial.&lt;br /&gt;
** A odd accent that doesn&#039;t fit with any sector of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
** Lack of certain concepts, such as misunderstanding of colors and shapes of animals.&lt;br /&gt;
** Collection of out of ordinary trinkets, the right shoe of others.&lt;br /&gt;
The average day of an Android varies on what they do. Those that work closely with Aurelians adopt their daily schedules. Using downtime from work to socialize, pursue their own interest, and a few rare ones find ways to continue their work to stay ahead of the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are massive and therefore cannot travel outside of where they were installed don&#039;t often have downtime, working nearly 24/7. They do get breaks and rely off those around them to come socialize with them or they simply wait to go back to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are more or less secluded from other species. Most of their interactions are with Aurelians. There are a handful of instances in the form of shipbay workers interacting with those that visit Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelians are commonly viewed as the Android&#039;s creators. They&#039;re treated like neighbors and friends, not so much as overlords nor rulers. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{RelatedPages|&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Planets And Spheres]]&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Great Empty refers to the energy-based phenomena responsible for the creation and maintenance of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Planets And Spheres|spheres]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Though often described as a “field”, the Great Empty is neither simple energy nor true emptiness as its name would imply. It is an active transformative force that surrounds, penetrates, and alters celestial bodies caught within its reach. It appeared during the event of the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Convergence]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, but despite the best efforts of various scholars to study it, concrete information on the Great Empty remains sparse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Pockets of the Great Empty are referred to as “energy fields” or “anomaly fields” depending on who you are speaking with. Star systems tend to house only one such field, and are often named after the name of the field itself. Habitable spheres are located near the borders of the energy fields, as spheres located deeper within each energy field are too hazardous to reach with current starfaring technologies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pockets of the Great Empty can contain other celestial bodies and objects that are not planets. This includes stars, asteroids, planetoids, space stations, and spacecraft. The light of a star struggles to breach the border of any given pocket of the Great Empty, meaning that once a star is consumed, the rest of that star’s system no longer benefits from its light. This also means that spheres inside of a given pocket of the Great Empty rely upon stars consumed by the energy field for light and warmth in addition to the general rules of magic that allow the spheres to function under fantastical, unrealistic rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not all pockets of the Great Empty are tied to star systems. The ones anchored to a particular star system tend to remain extremely slow-moving, though they are amorphous in shape and shift in place. Otherwise, they drift endlessly in the cosmic sea, much like a lava lamp, or oil on water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relevant Energy Fields==&lt;br /&gt;
Spheres within the same pocket of the Great Empty tend to exhibit similar traits. A list of relevant fields and their respective spheres is below.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Echofield===&lt;br /&gt;
The Echofield system contains the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Eden Construct|Eden Construct]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Virilune]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, and the sphere &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Velora]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. It is named as such due to Velora being an ‘echo’ of its sister planet Virilune, carrying many of the same traits and even extremely similar landmasses. The Echofield&#039;s contained celestial bodies tend to serve as &#039;echoes&#039; of other existing celestial bodies, imperfect copies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Arcadia===&lt;br /&gt;
Arcadia is a pocket of the Great Empty that is responsible for the event that &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Lepterans]]&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Carcids]]&#039;&#039;&#039; of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Chitara]]&#039;&#039;&#039; describe as the Final Sunset. The field consumed the system’s star, allowing the fungus known as the Raid to rapidly prosper on the surface of Chitara and driving the native species there into a life below ground. However, some Chitarans of a now-extinct race were able to escape, taking refuge on a sphere within the field, &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Elyndra]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, and eventually becoming what is now referred to as the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Nythera]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Arcadia is characterized by fantastical development on the celestial bodies it contains.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Deeptide===&lt;br /&gt;
Some systems house a pocket of the Great Empty with no known spheres within it. &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Pelagia]]&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Sauris]]&#039;&#039;&#039; are both planets, each residing in the same system as the Deeptide field. However, the Deeptide itself has no spheres near its border, leading many to believe that the field is simply empty, or perhaps only contains spheres near its center. It is named by the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Thalassans|Thalassan]]&#039;&#039;&#039; explorers who charted the majority of its exterior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Unmoored===&lt;br /&gt;
In contrast, some systems are nearly all spheres. With no other habitable planets in the system, &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Stratos]]&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Singulon]]&#039;&#039;&#039; remain on the edge of the Unmoored field. Both exhibit abnormal gravitational anomalies, allowing Singulon’s central manufactured black hole and for Stratos’ floating cities. Gravitational anomalies are common on celestial bodies within the Unmoored field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Worldbridge===&lt;br /&gt;
Named after its connective properties, the field surrounding &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Locus Astra]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is called the Worldbridge. This field remains relatively stable, and appears unique in its ability to reach out and form stable connections with other spheres adrift in the cosmic sea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Nullstorm===&lt;br /&gt;
This is a particularly violent and dangerous energy field, believed to be surrounding the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Nullstar]]&#039;&#039;&#039; itself. Out of all known pockets of the Great Empty, this one moves around the most, and has resisted with crushing force any serious attempts to get close to it or breach its outer border. As such, we know little about the Nullstorm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal Accounts== &lt;br /&gt;
What exactly happens to travelers in the Great Empty and what, if anything, inhabits it varies widely from different accounts. Below are a selection of interviews conducted by researcher Ruby Webber, compiled as a means of exemplifying the variety of strange and unusual happenings within these pockets of energy.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Interview 1: Dr. Elian Voss, Theoretical Cosmologist===&lt;br /&gt;
 WEBBER: Dr. Voss, for the record, how would you define the Great Empty?&lt;br /&gt;
 VOSS:  Well, for starters, I wouldn’t.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Could you elaborate?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: Definitions imply fundamental boundaries. The Great Empty resists labels in that way. Any time we attempt to classify it as one thing, it behaves as another. It’s almost laughable how it mocks the very attempt to study it.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Would you say it’s alive, then?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: No… I wouldn’t go that far.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: What is travel through it actually like?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: Impossible to describe with clarity. Instruments fail. Crew members report events out of sequence. On our most recent expedition into Arcadia, one navigator claimed she saw herself entering a room several minutes before she decided to do so. Hull panels hum in sequences we can’t identify. Light and shadow invert.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: So you have personally traveled through the Great Empty?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: Just that one time, and I have no desire to repeat the experience.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: So, your thoughts are…&lt;br /&gt;
 V: It’s an energy anomaly. Until we further our means of studying it from a technological standpoint, we will gain very few answers from it.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Interview 2: Hale Merrick, Cargo hauler===&lt;br /&gt;
 WEBBER: You’ve spent more time crossing the Great Empty than most. Any advice?&lt;br /&gt;
 MERRICK: Aye. Don’t whistle. You gotta unlearn the habit if you’re gonna cross through places like that.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Why is that?&lt;br /&gt;
 M: Calls things.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: What… kind of things?&lt;br /&gt;
 M: If I knew what they were, I’d tell you. Listen here. If you hear footsteps on the top of your ship, don’t breathe.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Don’t breathe?&lt;br /&gt;
 M: Not a little. Not all quiet like. Not ‘hold it in your cheeks’. Nothin’. Because if it hears you breathin’, it’ll know something’s inside.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: That’s not very reassuring…&lt;br /&gt;
 M: You want honesty or comfort? Can’t afford both.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Has it ever happened to you? The… the breathing thing.&lt;br /&gt;
 M: Captain sneezed once. Something knocked. Ship itself knocked back.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: The ship knocked?&lt;br /&gt;
 M: That’s why I retired it. Can’t voyage on that vessel anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: So, you think the Great Empty is… haunted?&lt;br /&gt;
 M: Haunted implies the dead, ma’am. I don’t think whatever’s in there was alive, at least not like us.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Interview 3: Junior Navigation Officer Tasmin Vale===&lt;br /&gt;
 WEBBER: So, how was your first trip through the Great Empty?&lt;br /&gt;
 VALE: Terrible. Amazing, but terrible. I… I think I probably need new medication.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Can you describe what it was like?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: The sky turns to so many colors. More than you could ever think of. The stars vanish, then appear, then vanish again. You look out the viewport and your mind starts inventing things to make sense of what you’re looking at. My crewmate says he saw numbers, our pilot saw his ex-wife.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Was she really there?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: God, I hope not. She looked pissed.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: Did you experience any anomalies directly?&lt;br /&gt;
 V: Well, our ship is designed to handle brief stints into the Great Empty. Most crafts get ripped apart by the sheer force of all the energy in there. But it doesn’t mean strange things don’t happen. I got lost on the way to the kitchen.&lt;br /&gt;
 W: That sounds minor.&lt;br /&gt;
 V: For what felt like nine hours to me. The corridors just kept stretching and bleeding into each other… when I came to, I found myself back on the bridge holding a cup of tea, prepared how I like it. I didn’t remember making it. The others said that sort of thing is normal for the first few trips. It’s just… hard to adjust to.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Eden Construct&#039;&#039;&#039; is more than a steel planet. It is a living, breathing machine that every &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Aurelium Exculta|Aurelian]]&#039;&#039;&#039; works to support. Nothing is permanent in Eden: the yearly Great Reconstruction allows its modular cities to rearrange, sometimes in completely different locations, to support Eden’s maintenance. Massive railways orbit the entire planet like rings, providing transportation around the constantly shifting planet. Its massive artificial trenches house the only flora and fauna on Eden, which is heavily monitored by the government to ensure their survival. Beneath the surface of the planet is the Underhome, the hollow interior of Eden that is reserved for only the highest-ranking Aurelians. With no proper oceans, Eden experiences no natural weather cycle. However, machines attached to the trains continuously cool evaporating water, allowing an atmosphere to exist. Though it stands as one of the greatest achievements of the Aurelium Exculta, Eden is not without its flaws. It is finite, controlled, and increasingly strained by the demands of its growing population.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Friends of space, how are you all? Have you eaten yet? Come visit us if you have time.&amp;quot; — recovered Old Aurelion record&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;AURELION IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH EARTH, AND IS A FICTIONAL PLANET. IT IS NOT EARTH.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelion, often referred to in [[History|the modern era]] as Old Aurelion, was the original homeworld of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[humanity]]&#039;&#039;&#039; and one of the many worlds that fell during the cosmic event known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Convergence]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike ordinary planets, Aurelion possessed an extraordinary connection to the arcane, through an entity embedded within its core: &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Heart Below]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. For centuries, humanity exploited this entity as a near-limitless source of energy, fueling a golden age of technological and magical advancement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Convergence occurred in 2005 O.A., Aurelion became unstable in catastrophic ways. Though not destroyed in the conventional sense of the word, the planet was rendered inaccessible, fractured by severe distortions in space and reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attempts to journey to Aurelion have been hindered by the intense energy storm within which its fragments are contained. Although independent agencies, largely [[The Aurelium Exculta|Aurelians]] seeking their ancestors’ homeworld, continue to investigate and study from afar, very little progress has been made towards understanding or uncovering more of the lost planet. World governments across the known universe have largely ceased officially sanctioning investigations and expeditions towards Aurelion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, Aurelion retains almost mythical status as the birthplace of humanity, the site of the Heart Below, and one of the first worlds to experience The Convergence. Its loss forever transformed the course of intergalactic [[history]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{RelatedPages|&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Souls]]&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Theory of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…&amp;quot; - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;quot;Cursed&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Felari]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Mage Lakshmi.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Much like our neighbors, the Canari, Felari tend to practice magic in various nature and life Constellations. Due to living in environments filled with vegetations, we practice druidic spells and magic to allow the manipulation of plant life, whether by causing plants to move or to grow. This also allows for agricultural advancement. However, due to the necessity for stealth, Felari have also become excellent when handling cloaking magic, often inscribing enchantments onto spacecraft and equipment in order to slip away unseen. It is also inscribed on the boundaries of our cities so they&#039;re harder to find. Keeps us safer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Some Felari have also been known to work with the magic of the dead, to commune with and ask for advice from the ancestors. These rituals are shrouded in mystery and not widely practiced, as they require extremely skilled arcane scholars. This does take a heavy toll on the caster the longer the spell is kept up. Typically in the form of exhaustion and weakness. These rituals require a powerful mage and very specific sets of circumstances to even work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Felari typically combine magic with science and chemistry, seeing how to improve ourselves and control forces of nature utilizing our mastery of the arcane. Magic is as much a tool for survival in the Mahavana as our claws. Meanwhile some warriors are able to use enhancement enchantments for temporary boosts but this is still costly to keep up for long, and overly relying on this mechanism can lead to permanent weakening of the body.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Canari ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Druid Relitov.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Our first use of magic is retold through a fairytale of two people finding a moment of silence and peace together. Meditating and listening to the sounds of the forest, they took notice of the patterns in nature that exist all around. Swirls in the water, shapes created by the stars in the sky, rough tracks of tree bark. They were overcome with a sense of passion and joy, and decided to draw these patterns in the ground together, resulting in the first spell for our people. It is said this spell was so compelling and so moving that it motivated them to understand and learn to harness these spells to benefit those around them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cervari ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation by Gale Khorren, a Cervari researcher of the arcane.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic and Vaki are interchangeable terms: a powerful, natural yet unseeable force that dervies from The Nullstar all around us. Our antlers  grow with this energy, both storing and helping us connect with Vaki. Spellcasting is still a skill, however, and one that requires immense time and care so that the order of the world is not so vastly shifted. Most of us know how to change the weather, guide the flow of water, and create small medicinal rituals. Oftentimes, larger spells include multiple folks from our community to cast with greater strength and swiftness. Many find this a great source of bonding, and very often their first direct experience with Vaki.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Spellcasting requires three main components: meditation to connect oneself with Vaki, engravings or artistic expressions of its force, and gestures of dance guided by our symbols. These symbols can be engraved in the environment around us or drawn into wearable jewelry. Some even use a technique of ossification to grow patterns onto their antlers to further guide their spellcasting. Although I&#039;ve studied it for decades now, it still remains a mystery as to where the origins of our symbols come from, but our traditions nevertheless remain strong, and magic stays at the center connecting us all.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lagorans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Trader Rava Ymir.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Saurans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Sage Sapphire C’eel.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The Sauran’s relationship with magic is notably considered as &#039;utilized when convenient, otherwise not a useful solution to problems we have already solved&#039;. When magic was first discovered it was a hot ticket and was extensively studied, considered the next evolution in Sauran lifestyle. Instead we realized magic changed very little in our already technologically advanced society.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is used in place of other devices and safety regulations. Considerably, a restaurant in Mauriast features that all of its meat is cooked with fire magic, which is then utilized to make a spectacle out of the dining experience. Magic is also used to make sure young Sylvans do not injure themselves from a large fall when learning how to climb.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Overall basic magic is taught to Saurans at Sage Hermelin’s school, in case magic becomes more relied upon in the future. Teaching was then expedited for those who would be leaving to study the Nullstar and Locus Astra.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Theory of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…&amp;quot; - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Felari]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Mage Lakshmi.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Much like our neighbors, the Canari, Felari tend to practice magic in various nature and life Constellations. Due to living in environments filled with vegetations, we practice druidic spells and magic to allow the manipulation of plant life, whether by causing plants to move or to grow. This also allows for agricultural advancement. However, due to the necessity for stealth, Felari have also become excellent when handling cloaking magic, often inscribing enchantments onto spacecraft and equipment in order to slip away unseen. It is also inscribed on the boundaries of our cities so they&#039;re harder to find. Keeps us safer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Some Felari have also been known to work with the magic of the dead, to commune with and ask for advice from the ancestors. These rituals are shrouded in mystery and not widely practiced, as they require extremely skilled arcane scholars. This does take a heavy toll on the caster the longer the spell is kept up. Typically in the form of exhaustion and weakness. These rituals require a powerful mage and very specific sets of circumstances to even work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Felari typically combine magic with science and chemistry, seeing how to improve ourselves and control forces of nature utilizing our mastery of the arcane. Magic is as much a tool for survival in the Mahavana as our claws. Meanwhile some warriors are able to use enhancement enchantments for temporary boosts but this is still costly to keep up for long, and overly relying on this mechanism can lead to permanent weakening of the body.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Canari ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Druid Relitov.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Our first use of magic is retold through a fairytale of two people finding a moment of silence and peace together. Meditating and listening to the sounds of the forest, they took notice of the patterns in nature that exist all around. Swirls in the water, shapes created by the stars in the sky, rough tracks of tree bark. They were overcome with a sense of passion and joy, and decided to draw these patterns in the ground together, resulting in the first spell for our people. It is said this spell was so compelling and so moving that it motivated them to understand and learn to harness these spells to benefit those around them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cervari ===&lt;br /&gt;
Explanation by Gale Khorren, a Cervari researcher of the arcane&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic and Vaki are interchangeable terms: a powerful, natural yet unseeable force that dervies from The Nullstar all around us. Our antlers  grow with this energy, both storing and helping us connect with Vaki. Spellcasting is still a skill, however, and one that requires immense time and care so that the order of the world is not so vastly shifted. Most of us know how to change the weather, guide the flow of water, and create small medicinal rituals. Oftentimes, larger spells include multiple folks from our community to cast with greater strength and swiftness. Many find this a great source of bonding, and very often their first direct experience with Vaki.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Spellcasting requires three main components: meditation to connect oneself with Vaki, engravings or artistic expressions of its force, and gestures of dance guided by our symbols. These symbols can be engraved in the environment around us or drawn into wearable jewelry. Some even use a technique of ossification to grow patterns onto their antlers to further guide their spellcasting. Although I&#039;ve studied it for decades now, it still remains a mystery as to where the origins of our symbols come from, but our traditions nevertheless remain strong, and magic stays at the center connecting us all.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lagorans ===&lt;br /&gt;
Explanation given by Trader Rava Ymir&lt;br /&gt;
=== Saurans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Sage Sapphire C’eel.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The Sauran’s relationship with magic is notably considered as &#039;utilized when convenient, otherwise not a useful solution to problems we have already solved&#039;. When magic was first discovered it was a hot ticket and was extensively studied, considered the next evolution in Sauran lifestyle. Instead we realized magic changed very little in our already technologically advanced society.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is used in place of other devices and safety regulations. Considerably, a restaurant in Mauriast features that all of its meat is cooked with fire magic, which is then utilized to make a spectacle out of the dining experience. Magic is also used to make sure young Sylvans do not injure themselves from a large fall when learning how to climb.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Overall basic magic is taught to Saurans at Sage Hermelin’s school, in case magic becomes more relied upon in the future. Teaching was then expedited for those who would be leaving to study the Nullstar and Locus Astra.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==What Happened to Humanity?==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;[[Humanity]]’s&#039;&#039;&#039; fall, and the fall of the planet known as &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Aurelion]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, did not come from a single catastrophic event, but rather a cascading failure that began at the turn of the 21st century in the Old Aurelian calendar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelion was not a mundane world. It was a place where the very first evidence of the arcane appeared. Arcane and material sciences long became intertwined on Aurelion, where humanity had learned to harness a power that did not belong to them. Beneath the surface of their world, and threaded through the fabric of their skies, there existed an entity known only in fragmented records as &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Heart Below]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. It was an immense, cosmic being whose presence permeated reality itself with its unique abilities. Upon its discovery deep within the planet’s core, it was put to use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Through means both technological and arcane, humanity drew upon it as a source of near-limitless energy. It powered their cities, sustained orbital constructs, and enabled their expansion beyond Aurelion. Vast arrays and containment structures anchored this presence into something measurable, something usable. It became the foundation of their progress. The few who even knew of its existence did not question whether it should be. Humanity had entered a golden age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the late 1990s of the Old Aurelian calendar, global systems were deeply interconnected while remaining more fragile than most realized. Humanity reached outward. Breakthroughs in orbital manufacturing and early fusion energy allowed for the construction of space stations and the first permanent off-world industrial sites, as humanity took to the stars. These structures, established around Aurelion and extending to the planet’s moon and neighboring celestial bodies, were never intended to be lifeboats. These structures were built in confidence, monuments to a species that believed itself to be on the verge of mastering both reality and the forces that shape it. They were symbols of progress, and contingencies for a distant future. No one expected that they would become essential so soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Something Is Wrong==&lt;br /&gt;
The first signs that something was wrong appeared subtly. Between 2002 and 2003, satellites began reporting inconsistencies that could not be easily explained. Positional data drifted without cause, signals arrived at incorrect intervals, and probes returned measurements that contradicted established models of distance and motion. At first, these anomalies could be attributed to software errors or instrumentation faults, the kind of problems expected in this era of rapid technological evolution. However, inconsistencies continued to spread, and it became clear that the issue was not within the machines themselves, but with what they were trying to measure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Space was no longer behaving consistently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The response was fear. Distortions intensified, and systems began to fail. Global positioning systems became unreliable, disrupting transportation, shipping, and communication networks. Power grids suffered cascading failures seemingly for no cause. Military infrastructure proved especially vulnerable. Systems designed to detect threats began to misinterpret anomalous readings as hostile actions, and for nations believing that their rivals may seek to capitalize on the chaos, quick retaliation became necessary. Limited nuclear exchanges followed. The resulting destruction further crippled what remained of Aurelion’s infrastructure, accelerating the collapse of coordinated global society.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By 2004, the situation had progressed for the worse. Reality itself had begun to fracture. Certain regions of Aurelion exhibited localized distortions where physical laws no longer behaved predictably. Time discrepancies, once measured in microseconds, became perceptible. Entire areas experienced spatial displacement. Some locations appeared to shift slightly, others seeming to momentarily vanish before re-appearing. These zones marked the earliest evidence of the cosmic event to come.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Convergence==&lt;br /&gt;
The broader event now known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Convergence]]&#039;&#039;&#039; reached full manifestation in the Old Aurelian year of 2005. What had begun as isolated inconsistencies revealed itself to be part of a universe-scale failure in spatial agreement. Distance, continuity, and position were no longer absolute truths. Aurelion did not shatter or disappear, but it ceased to function as a stable, unified environment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Heart Below, already stretched thin through centuries of exploitation, could not withstand the shift. For the first time, it saw gaps in the containment meant to keep it tethered, and it reacted. Whether it resisted, ruptured, or simply ceased to exist remains unknown. What is known is this: the moment the Convergence fully manifested, The Heart Below collapsed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid the collapse, humanity’s survival depended entirely on the infrastructure it had built in orbit. The space stations, shipyards, and off-world colonies that once represented ambition have now become sanctuaries. Evacuation efforts were chaotic and uneven. Access to transport remained controlled by world governments, corporations, and those with the means to secure passage. Many were abandoned. Those who did escape did so aboard vessels never designed for long-term habitation, repurposed in desperate bids to make spacefaring lifeboats. Orbital habitats were forced to rapidly transform into self-sustaining environments. The exodus was a fragmented, mad dash for the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelion itself was ultimately abandoned, though not destroyed in the conventional sense. It persists as a heavily fractured world, its surface and surrounding space permeated by unstable distortions. Large portions of the planet are believed to exist within overlapping spheres, where boundaries between consistent reality and fractured space break down entirely. However, it is no longer accessible by conventional means, and any attempts to study it remotely yield inconsistent or contradictory data. To those who came after, Aurelion became both a place of origin and a warning: the first world to fall to the Convergence, and what happens when the energy sent through the cosmos at that level is no longer controlled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Scattered Among the Stars==&lt;br /&gt;
From the remnants of the collapse emerge the survivors, developing in the aftermath. Aboard ships and artificial habitats, they rebuild from the ground up, with a relentless drive to expand beyond any point of failure. These vestiges of humanity, slowly mutated through the generations, will become the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Aurelium Exculta|Aurelium Exculta]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, naming themselves for the planet their ancestors called home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath of the Convergence, with the loss of The Heart Below, something new emerged. The &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Nullstar]]&#039;&#039;&#039; had arrived. Where The Heart Below had been a contained and exploited force of nature, the Nullstar was boundless, indifferent, and fundamentally incompatible with control. Its influence spread instantly, saturating reality with the energy field and strings that would be later known as magic, in the form we know it to be today.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the emergence of the Nullstar, the remnants of humanity came to understand the true answer to the question: &#039;&#039;&#039;Are we alone?&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before the event, the universe had appeared vast but ultimately consistent, its distances too great and physical laws too rigid to allow for interaction between distant civilizations. If other intelligent life existed, it remained unreachable, separated by the sheer scale of space and time. The Convergence disrupted this isolation. By fracturing the agreement of distance and continuity, it brought previously disconnected regions of reality into indirect alignment. Worlds that had once been separated by insurmountable expanses became accessible through the shifting pathways of fractured space. These pathways would be later maintained and called simply &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Warp Gates and Space Travel|Warp Gates]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a result, many civilizations encountered in the present era did not originate after the fall of Aurelion, but long before it. These species developed independently on their own worlds, shaped by their environments and evolutionary pressures. Only after their worlds became connected by the Warp Gates during the Convergence did the possibility of contact between all of these homeworlds emerge. Not all species, however, remained unchanged by the transition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Convergence both created new worlds (in the case of spheres) and severely altered existing worlds in the case of planets that remained intact. The influence of the Nullstar’s energy has been observed to affect biological development in subtle but persistent ways. Over successive generations, some organisms appear to converge towards stable structural patterns that are better suited to surviving within reality distorted by magical energy. Among these patterns, humanoid-adjacent forms are unusually common. Bilateral symmetry, upright posture, and opposable thumbs. As a result, some species that are now classified as humanoid may not have originated in that form, but instead morphed towards it over time under the influence of fractured space. In fact, most of these species do not recall their earlier evolutionary states being any different. It is as though they were always this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Modern Age of Exploration==&lt;br /&gt;
In the time following the fall of Aurelion, survival gave way to adaptation, then to expansion. What had once been isolated civilizations were gradually drawn into awareness of one another. Some, like the biosphere-rich world of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Virilune]]&#039;&#039;&#039; or the oceanic depths of &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Pelagia]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, had long histories untouched by humanity. Others, such as &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Singulon]]&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Stratos]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, existed as spheres from the very beginning, their inhabitants shaped by the warped reality contained within.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial contact was uneven and at times, hostile. Differences in biology, philosophy, and interpretation of the Nullstar’s influence created friction between species. The &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Felari]]&#039;&#039;&#039; of Virilune viewed outsiders with suspicion. The &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Thalassans]]&#039;&#039;&#039; of Pelagia approached diplomacy as an extension of trade and influence. The &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Saurans]]&#039;&#039;&#039; of Sauris saw opportunity where others saw risk. Meanwhile, the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Aurelium Exculta|Aurelium Exculta]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, descendants of humanity, spread rapidly across known space, establishing colonies and outposts with a mix of scientific rigor and quiet desperation. Despite these differences, one unifying truth emerged: no single world could fully understand the nature of this fractured reality alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over time, necessity forced cooperation. Trade routes between spheres and planets became more stable. Shared knowledge of navigation, magic, and survival techniques allowed civilizations to mitigate dangers. From this cooperation emerged the first attempts of structured diplomacy: agreements on safe passage, resource exchange, and handling anomalies. These efforts would eventually come to create a formal interstellar body, a diplomatic and scientific coalition composed of representatives from each major homeworld. While its structure varied depending on the influence of its members, its purpose remained consistent: to establish a framework for coexistence. It was called the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[High Stellar Council]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite centuries of progress, one aspect of reality remained poorly understood: the spheres themselves. While civilizations had learned to travel between them, map their positions, and even exploit their unique properties, the underlying mechanisms that allowed spheres to exist and persist remained elusive. The influence of the Nullstar was acknowledged, but not comprehended. Why some spheres remained stable for millennia while others collapsed within years was unknown. Why certain worlds developed extreme biological or physical deviations while others remained relatively consistent was a matter of ongoing debate. This uncertainty became increasingly unacceptable and led to unrest in many academic and political circles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was this shared frustration that led to the great initiative. Across multiple navigation systems, a pattern in the energy waves had begun to emerge. An investigation from the galaxy-renowned group of adventurers, the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Wayfarer’s Guild]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, revealed an incredible discovery: a singular sphere world that exhibited an unusual degree of stability, positioned at the intersection of numerous fractured pathways. Unlike other spheres, whose connections shifted or degraded over time, this world appeared to function as a constant– a natural anchor point within an otherwise chaotic system. Routes leading to it could be traced and relied upon, at least more so than others. They called this sphere &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Locus Astra]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Debates and Discussion==&lt;br /&gt;
The implications were impossible to ignore. If one world could serve as a stable anchor between spheres, it could become far more than a waypoint. It could become a center for coordinated exploration, a place for expeditions into deeper, less stable regions of fractured space could be launched with unprecedented precision. For the first time, the possibility of truly understanding the structure of reality seemed within reach. However, the idea of sending more explorers to the sphere world itself was a controversial one, especially with the near-total destruction of the Wayfarer’s Guild due to a mysterious incident on their return trip which rendered their starship lost and most of the crew deceased. Many put two and two together. Although rumors of individual planets sending lone explorers in the direction of Locus Astra continued to spread, it was up to the High Stellar Council to organize a true exploration initiative shared among all of the connected planets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The decision was neither immediate nor unanimous. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Felari&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Canari&#039;&#039;&#039; had fostered several years of peace on Virilune, but questioned the wisdom of exposing themselves to that variety of foreign influence. To the Felari, the mission represented intrusion on a cosmic scale, an unraveling of carefully maintained boundaries. They feared not just physical danger, but cultural erosion, the slow bleed of identity loss that comes with prolonged contact. The Canari, while more open to cooperation, interpreted the sphere through a spiritual lens. If nature spoke through storms and skies, then a place where realities converged must carry intention. Some believed the sphere to be a place of great balance, while others warned it might be where the natural order had already been broken beyond repair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Saurans&#039;&#039;&#039; were eager to test themselves against the unknown. To them, the mission was not a question of caution, but inevitability. Evolution, whether biological or societal, demanded challenge. A stable convergence point was the ultimate proving ground: a place where adaptation could be accelerated, where new environments, pressures, and opportunities would refine them further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Thalassans&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Abyssal&#039;&#039;&#039; were most interested in the economic and technological advantages of venturing to such a location. For the Lucent Stratum, a cosmic hub represented a nexus of trade routes unlike anything in recorded history. A place where influence could be brokered as easily as goods. The Twilight Stratum viewed it as a strategic asset, a position from which fleets and resources could be consolidated and later deployed across the multiple neighboring spheres with great efficiency. The Noct Stratum approached the mission with quiet intensity, seeing in it an opportunity to study the fundamental mechanics of reality itself. Among the Abyssal, however, interest took a different tone. Drawn to the unknown, many saw the sphere as something almost sacred. A place where the boundaries of existence thinned enough to be felt, if not understood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Ferrans&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Gelum&#039;&#039;&#039; of Singulon were no strangers to warped realities, but there was debate over whether such a place could truly be trusted. Ferran philosophy struggled with the idea of relying on something so inherently unstable. If the sphere were real, it could be studied, mapped, and eventually mastered. But if it only appeared stable and proved to be otherwise, then it could be deeply harmful and the mission would be costly. The Gelum were more divided. Some saw it as a natural extension of their own pursuits, a grander system of controlled instability. Others feared it as something beyond even their ability to contain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Lepterans&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Carcids&#039;&#039;&#039; both could agree: this was an unprecedented opportunity for understanding the nature of the Final Sunset on Chitara that forced them to descend underground so many years ago. To the Lepterans, this was a problem to be solved, a pattern waiting to be analyzed and reduced to data. They approached the mission with precision, already planning simulations and models for what they might encounter. The Carcids, however, carried a more personal stake. The memory of collapse was not abstract to them; it was lived, real, and embedded in their communities. For them, the journey was not just about knowledge, but ensuring that what happened to Chitara could never happen again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Aurelium Exculta&#039;&#039;&#039; were the strongest proponents of the mission, driven by a combination of necessity and ambition. The Eden Construct, while a triumph of engineering, was a finite solution to an expanding problem. Population growth, resource strain, and internal political pressure and unrest all pointed towards the same conclusion: expansion was no longer optional. To the Aurelians, the hub was not just a scientific curiosity, but a gateway. A controlled point from which new territories could be identified, evaluated, and ultimately settled. While official rhetoric emphasized cooperation and discovery, few members of other species failed to note how quickly Aurelian expeditions began preparing long-term settlement plans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Caelune&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Sonyx&#039;&#039;&#039; of Stratos approached the mission through different lenses. For the Caelune, whose lives were defined by open skies and visible horizons, the idea of this sphere was unsettling. Traveling between spheres in this way is like taking a wind tunnel with no known exit, and evokes a sense of confinement even on a planetary scale. The Sonyx, by contrast, were drawn to the mysteries such a place might hold. A world defined by convergence would, to them, be rich with resonances in space itself waiting to be interpreted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Cervari&#039;&#039;&#039; of Velora viewed the mission with cautious reverence. They understood better than most the consequences of imbalance. To them, a cosmic hub was a place that could either stabilize or destabilize entire systems depending on how it was treated. Many believed it should be approached with restraint and respect. There was growing concern that other species would attempt to exploit it without understanding the cost. The &#039;&#039;&#039;Lagorans&#039;&#039;&#039;, ever pragmatic, saw it as the ultimate transport network. They immediately recognized its potential as a central routing system. To them, the question was less whether the mission should proceed, but how quickly sphere fields could be utilized and optimized. Their interest lay in infrastructure, and they saw the mission as a wealth of new possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Sylthae&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Nythera&#039;&#039;&#039; of Elyndra were among the most divided. Bound closely to their environment and ever reluctant to leave a place they saw as paradise, they both outright refused to send envoys at all at first. The idea of leaving it, of exposing themselves to harsher, less stable realities, felt unnecessary and dangerous. However, out of the two species, the Nythera were more curious. A convergence of realities for a species that found meaning in creation and transformation was difficult to resist. Although they largely don’t acknowledge their ancestry from Chitara, the thought of learning more about the nature of sphere energy led them to coax the Sylthae into eventually joining them in opening the mission for volunteers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, curiosity prevailed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pathfinding Initiative==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;The Pathfinding Initiative&#039;&#039;&#039; was formed as a joint expedition, part research mission, part diplomatic venture, and part leap of faith. Engineers, scholars, explorers, and opportunists from across known space were selected or volunteered to make the journey. Some came in the name of their governments, others for personal reasons. Exile, ambition, faith, or simple curiosity brought explorers to the new frontier. Together, they set their course for the landing site, which they called &#039;&#039;&#039;[[The Anchor]]&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Welcome to your new beginning, explorer, pathfinder. And good luck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Theory of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…&amp;quot; - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Felari]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Mage Lakshmi.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Much like our neighbors, the Canari, Felari tend to practice magic in various nature and life Constellations. Due to living in environments filled with vegetations, we practice druidic spells and magic to allow the manipulation of plant life, whether by causing plants to move or to grow. This also allows for agricultural advancement. However, due to the necessity for stealth, Felari have also become excellent when handling cloaking magic, often inscribing enchantments onto spacecraft and equipment in order to slip away unseen. It is also inscribed on the boundaries of our cities so they&#039;re harder to find. Keeps us safer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Some Felari have also been known to work with the magic of the dead, to commune with and ask for advice from the ancestors. These rituals are shrouded in mystery and not widely practiced, as they require extremely skilled arcane scholars. This does take a heavy toll on the caster the longer the spell is kept up. Typically in the form of exhaustion and weakness. These rituals require a powerful mage and very specific sets of circumstances to even work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Felari typically combine magic with science and chemistry, seeing how to improve ourselves and control forces of nature utilizing our mastery of the arcane. Magic is as much a tool for survival in the Mahavana as our claws. Meanwhile some warriors are able to use enhancement enchantments for temporary boosts but this is still costly to keep up for long, and overly relying on this mechanism can lead to permanent weakening of the body.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Canari ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Druid Relitov.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Our first use of magic is retold through a fairytale of two people finding a moment of silence and peace together. Meditating and listening to the sounds of the forest, they took notice of the patterns in nature that exist all around. Swirls in the water, shapes created by the stars in the sky, rough tracks of tree bark. They were overcome with a sense of passion and joy, and decided to draw these patterns in the ground together, resulting in the first spell for our people. It is said this spell was so compelling and so moving that it motivated them to understand and learn to harness these spells to benefit those around them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Cervari ===&lt;br /&gt;
Explanation by Gale Khorren, a Cervari researcher of the arcane&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic and Vaki are interchangeable terms: a powerful, natural yet unseeable force that dervies from The Nullstar all around us. Our antlers  grow with this energy, both storing and helping us connect with Vaki. Spellcasting is still a skill, however, and one that requires immense time and care so that the order of the world is not so vastly shifted. Most of us know how to change the weather, guide the flow of water, and create small medicinal rituals. Oftentimes, larger spells include multiple folks from our community to cast with greater strength and swiftness. Many find this a great source of bonding, and very often their first direct experience with Vaki.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Spellcasting requires three main components: meditation to connect oneself with Vaki, engravings or artistic expressions of its force, and gestures of dance guided by our symbols. These symbols can be engraved in the environment around us or drawn into wearable jewelry. Some even use a technique of ossification to grow patterns onto their antlers to further guide their spellcasting. Although I&#039;ve studied it for decades now, it still remains a mystery as to where the origins of our symbols come from, but our traditions nevertheless remain strong, and magic stays at the center connecting us all.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lagorans ===&lt;br /&gt;
Explanation given by Trader Rava Ymir&lt;br /&gt;
=== Saurans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Sage Sapphire C’eel.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The Sauran’s relationship with magic is notably considered as &#039;utilized when convenient, otherwise not a useful solution to problems we have already solved&#039;. When magic was first discovered it was a hot ticket and was extensively studied, considered the next evolution in Sauran lifestyle. Instead we realized magic changed very little in our already technologically advanced society.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is used in place of other devices and safety regulations. Considerably, a restaurant in Mauriast features that all of its meat is cooked with fire magic, which is then utilized to make a spectacle out of the dining experience. Magic is also used to make sure young Sylvans do not injure themselves from a large fall when learning how to climb.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Overall basic magic is taught to Saurans at Sage Hermelin’s school, in case magic becomes more relied upon in the future. Teaching was then expedited for those who would be leaving to study the Nullstar and Locus Astra.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

Explanation given by Zea Honeycomb who volunteered to help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sylthae are very attuned to their environment, especially to the sunlight and plants around them. This is where the flow of life is found.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Nythera ===&lt;br /&gt;
Explanantion given by Researcher Aisne Bane.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ferrans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Kin Mage Lithia.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The first records of magic appeared as rituals meant to appease or please the spirits of statues or objects within the local community. The animation of these objects was initially accidental, though replication, documentation, and extensive experimentation led to a consistent ability to replicate their effects. These initial discoveries have painted the development of Ferran magic ever since, with the vast majority of commonly taught spells being built off of these foundations. Though advancements in both the magical and scientific spheres of Ferran society have allowed a more modern grasp of the strings of magic, these initial ideas still inform the way magic is taught and researched. Most magicians, especially those under the employment of Kins, typically specialize in the Constellations of the Artificial and Natural World for the use of manipulating rock and stone into the shapes desired, whether those be the shapes of golems or the forms of roads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our view of magic as a tool to make life easier is meant to be wielded by a select few, but with benefits that can affect an entire society. At it&#039;s core, spell casting is as standardized as possible, while the learning of magic is limited to those who have the wealth to afford a teacher. The most common use of magic amongst is the creation of golems. Other uses include the crafting or repairing of objects such as tools or roads. Magic often causes the flesh of users to fuse with or melt into their frames, forcing magic users to either have constant procedures to avoid being permanently fused into one shell or to embrace this fate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ferrans harness the strings in their realm through the use of runes and specialized structures meant to concentrate the power of the strings and attempt to avoid feedback, though the actual efficacy of this second effect is unknown. The structures often consist of a large collection of carved crystals made of quartz or lapis, decorated in specialized runes and polished gemstones. These pylons function to allow spells to be cast at a certain level, with the need of the spell caster dictating the materials needed. Heavy use or an attempt at casting a spell too strong for a pylon will cause it to begin to melt or shatter. The materials being manipulated are typically placed within a carved rune circle before the caster does casts the spell. Typically, this process is used for the mass production of golems, though it has also historically been used to infuse magic into items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While magic isn’t typically regulated in any official metric, any magic users found that are not already under the employ of a local Kin and are not a Nomad will quickly find themselves joining the ranks of their local L.P.O.s under threat of death. Each kin regulates magic differently and will typically hold their own ranks or rules for magicians, but the vast majority limit the scope of their responsibilities and the spells they cast to avoid large-scale backlash. Kin prefer for the consequences of magic to fall solely on the shoulders of the casters and no one else.&lt;br /&gt;

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;

== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Felari]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Mage Lakshmi.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Much like our neighbors, the Canari, Felari tend to practice magic in various nature and life Constellations. Due to living in environments filled with vegetations, we practice druidic spells and magic to allow the manipulation of plant life, whether by causing plants to move or to grow. This also allows for agricultural advancement. However, due to the necessity for stealth, Felari have also become excellent when handling cloaking magic, often inscribing enchantments onto spacecraft and equipment in order to slip away unseen. It is also inscribed on the boundaries of our cities so they&#039;re harder to find. Keeps us safer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Some Felari have also been known to work with the magic of the dead, to commune with and ask for advice from the ancestors. These rituals are shrouded in mystery and not widely practiced, as they require extremely skilled arcane scholars. This does take a heavy toll on the caster the longer the spell is kept up. Typically in the form of exhaustion and weakness. These rituals require a powerful mage and very specific sets of circumstances to even work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Felari typically combine magic with science and chemistry, seeing how to improve ourselves and control forces of nature utilizing our mastery of the arcane. Magic is as much a tool for survival in the Mahavana as our claws. Meanwhile some warriors are able to use enhancement enchantments for temporary boosts but this is still costly to keep up for long, and overly relying on this mechanism can lead to permanent weakening of the body.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Canari ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Druid Relitov.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Our first use of magic is retold through a fairytale of two people finding a moment of silence and peace together. Meditating and listening to the sounds of the forest, they took notice of the patterns in nature that exist all around. Swirls in the water, shapes created by the stars in the sky, rough tracks of tree bark. They were overcome with a sense of passion and joy, and decided to draw these patterns in the ground together, resulting in the first spell for our people. It is said this spell was so compelling and so moving that it motivated them to understand and learn to harness these spells to benefit those around them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Lagorans ===&lt;br /&gt;
Explanation given by Trader Rava Ymir&lt;br /&gt;
=== Saurans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Sage Sapphire C’eel.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The Sauran’s relationship with magic is notably considered as &#039;utilized when convenient, otherwise not a useful solution to problems we have already solved&#039;. When magic was first discovered it was a hot ticket and was extensively studied, considered the next evolution in Sauran lifestyle. Instead we realized magic changed very little in our already technologically advanced society.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Magic is used in place of other devices and safety regulations. Considerably, a restaurant in Mauriast features that all of its meat is cooked with fire magic, which is then utilized to make a spectacle out of the dining experience. Magic is also used to make sure young Sylvans do not injure themselves from a large fall when learning how to climb.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Overall basic magic is taught to Saurans at Sage Hermelin’s school, in case magic becomes more relied upon in the future. Teaching was then expedited for those who would be leaving to study the Nullstar and Locus Astra.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;

Explanantion given by Researcher Aisne Bane.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ferrans ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Kin Mage Lithia.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The first records of magic appeared as rituals meant to appease or please the spirits of statues or objects within the local community. The animation of these objects was initially accidental, though replication, documentation, and extensive experimentation led to a consistent ability to replicate their effects. These initial discoveries have painted the development of Ferran magic ever since, with the vast majority of commonly taught spells being built off of these foundations. Though advancements in both the magical and scientific spheres of Ferran society have allowed a more modern grasp of the strings of magic, these initial ideas still inform the way magic is taught and researched. Most magicians, especially those under the employment of Kins, typically specialize in the Constellations of the Artificial and Natural World for the use of manipulating rock and stone into the shapes desired, whether those be the shapes of golems or the forms of roads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our view of magic as a tool to make life easier is meant to be wielded by a select few, but with benefits that can affect an entire society. At it&#039;s core, spell casting is as standardized as possible, while the learning of magic is limited to those who have the wealth to afford a teacher. The most common use of magic amongst is the creation of golems. Other uses include the crafting or repairing of objects such as tools or roads. Magic often causes the flesh of users to fuse with or melt into their frames, forcing magic users to either have constant procedures to avoid being permanently fused into one shell or to embrace this fate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ferrans harness the strings in their realm through the use of runes and specialized structures meant to concentrate the power of the strings and attempt to avoid feedback, though the actual efficacy of this second effect is unknown. The structures often consist of a large collection of carved crystals made of quartz or lapis, decorated in specialized runes and polished gemstones. These pylons function to allow spells to be cast at a certain level, with the need of the spell caster dictating the materials needed. Heavy use or an attempt at casting a spell too strong for a pylon will cause it to begin to melt or shatter. The materials being manipulated are typically placed within a carved rune circle before the caster does casts the spell. Typically, this process is used for the mass production of golems, though it has also historically been used to infuse magic into items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While magic isn’t typically regulated in any official metric, any magic users found that are not already under the employ of a local Kin and are not a Nomad will quickly find themselves joining the ranks of their local L.P.O.s under threat of death. Each kin regulates magic differently and will typically hold their own ranks or rules for magicians, but the vast majority limit the scope of their responsibilities and the spells they cast to avoid large-scale backlash. Kin prefer for the consequences of magic to fall solely on the shoulders of the casters and no one else.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed without a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are not humanoid are often time much larger to fill in warehouses for manual labor while others are simple tiny machines to handle more computing tasks. Even they have shared aspects of a human skeleton just formatted differently. Similar to how some bones of animals are very similar just different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids typically stay out of fields of most fields of study simply due to their job-oriented lives. There are a handful that participate in more artistic ventures that gain some popularity. Those that take up jobs as teachers are already pre-programmed with the information they need to do their job.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:AndroidHair.jpg|thumb|Hair is often colorful and shiny.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids don&#039;t commonly wear clothing and instead rely on their outer shells to act as &amp;quot;clothing&amp;quot;. Fashion isn&#039;t highly prioritized among Androids but for the few who do care, they can be seen wearing silky and shear clothes to show off their elaborate and shiny outer shells. Black-market Androids are found to more commonly wear clothing of some type. Often what ever is common among the those around them for a variety of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most humanoid Androids have hair atop their heads that are installed to battle the uncanny vibe they occasionally give off. It&#039;s often stylized to the Android&#039;s likes and there are small businesses catered to the decoration of an Android&#039;s looks. The most popular type of hair in recent decades has been gem-like hair matching their outer shells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are built for their jobs, very rarely do they switch tasks and instead just switch locations to where they&#039;re needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humanoid Androids handle most of the social tasks and are far more popular&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Teachers&lt;br /&gt;
* Nannies&lt;br /&gt;
* Companion&lt;br /&gt;
* Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More labor intensive Androids are commonly those managing more common jobs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hauling&lt;br /&gt;
* Construction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specialized Android do more computing tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prediction Model&lt;br /&gt;
* Business Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
Those outside of Eden typically do mercenary work and odd jobs. Pilots, deliveries, artistic ventures in the form of performing and art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most Androids have a random quirk of some type that has to do with their souls being artificial.&lt;br /&gt;
** A odd accent that doesn&#039;t fit with any sector of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
** Lack of certain concepts, such as misunderstanding of colors and shapes of animals.&lt;br /&gt;
** Collection of out of ordinary trinkets, the right shoe of others.&lt;br /&gt;
The average day of an Android varies on what they do. Those that work closely with Aurelians adopt their daily schedules. Using downtime from work to socialize, pursue their own interest, and a few rare ones find ways to continue their work to stay ahead of the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are massive and therefore cannot travel outside of where they were installed don&#039;t often have downtime, working nearly 24/7. They do get breaks and rely off those around them to come socialize with them or they simply wait to go back to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are more or less secluded from other species. Most of their interactions are with Aurelians. There are a handful of instances in the form of shipbay workers interacting with those that visit Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelians are commonly viewed as the Android&#039;s creators. They&#039;re treated like neighbors and friends, not so much as overlords nor rulers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;

On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Felari]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Mage Lakshmi.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Much like our neighbors, the Canari, Felari tend to practice magic in various nature and life Constellations. Due to living in environments filled with vegetations, we practice druidic spells and magic to allow the manipulation of plant life, whether by causing plants to move or to grow. This also allows for agricultural advancement. However, due to the necessity for stealth, Felari have also become excellent when handling cloaking magic, often inscribing enchantments onto spacecraft and equipment in order to slip away unseen. It is also inscribed on the boundaries of our cities so they&#039;re harder to find. Keeps us safer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Some Felari have also been known to work with the magic of the dead, to commune with and ask for advice from the ancestors. These rituals are shrouded in mystery and not widely practiced, as they require extremely skilled arcane scholars. This does take a heavy toll on the caster the longer the spell is kept up. Typically in the form of exhaustion and weakness. These rituals require a powerful mage and very specific sets of circumstances to even work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Felari typically combine magic with science and chemistry, seeing how to improve ourselves and control forces of nature utilizing our mastery of the arcane. Magic is as much a tool for survival in the Mahavana as our claws. Meanwhile some warriors are able to use enhancement enchantments for temporary boosts but this is still costly to keep up for long, and overly relying on this mechanism can lead to permanent weakening of the body.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed without a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are not humanoid are often time much larger to fill in warehouses for manual labor while others are simple tiny machines to handle more computing tasks. Even they have shared aspects of a human skeleton just formatted differently. Similar to how some bones of animals are very similar just different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids typically stay out of fields of most fields of study simply due to their job-oriented lives. There are a handful that participate in more artistic ventures that gain some popularity. Those that take up jobs as teachers are already pre-programmed with the information they need to do their job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids don&#039;t commonly wear clothing and instead rely on their outer shells to act as &amp;quot;clothing&amp;quot;. Fashion isn&#039;t highly prioritized among Androids but for the few who do care, they can be seen wearing silky and shear clothes to show off their elaborate and shiny outer shells. Black-market Androids are found to more commonly wear clothing of some type. Often what ever is common among the those around them for a variety of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most humanoid Androids have hair atop their heads that are installed to battle the uncanny vibe they occasionally give off. It&#039;s often stylized to the Android&#039;s likes and there are small businesses catered to the decoration of an Android&#039;s looks. The most popular type of hair in recent decades has been gem-like hair matching their outer shells.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are built for their jobs, very rarely do they switch tasks and instead just switch locations to where they&#039;re needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humanoid Androids handle most of the social tasks and are far more popular&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Teachers&lt;br /&gt;
* Nannies&lt;br /&gt;
* Companion&lt;br /&gt;
* Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More labor intensive Androids are commonly those managing more common jobs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hauling&lt;br /&gt;
* Construction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specialized Android do more computing tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prediction Model&lt;br /&gt;
* Business Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
Those outside of Eden typically do mercenary work and odd jobs. Pilots, deliveries, artistic ventures in the form of performing and art.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most Androids have a random quirk of some type that has to do with their souls being artificial.&lt;br /&gt;
** A odd accent that doesn&#039;t fit with any sector of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
** Lack of certain concepts, such as misunderstanding of colors and shapes of animals.&lt;br /&gt;
** Collection of out of ordinary trinkets, the right shoe of others.&lt;br /&gt;
The average day of an Android varies on what they do. Those that work closely with Aurelians adopt their daily schedules. Using downtime from work to socialize, pursue their own interest, and a few rare ones find ways to continue their work to stay ahead of the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are massive and therefore cannot travel outside of where they were installed don&#039;t often have downtime, working nearly 24/7. They do get breaks and rely off those around them to come socialize with them or they simply wait to go back to work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are more or less secluded from other species. Most of their interactions are with Aurelians. There are a handful of instances in the form of shipbay workers interacting with those that visit Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelians are commonly viewed as the Android&#039;s creators. They&#039;re treated like neighbors and friends, not so much as overlords nor rulers. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed without a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are not humanoid are often time much larger to fill in warehouses for manual labor while others are simple tiny machines to handle more computing tasks. Even they have shared aspects of a human skeleton just formatted differently. Similar to how some bones of animals are very similar just different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;

They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed without a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those that are not humanoid are often time much larger to fill in warehouses for manual labor while others are simple tiny machines to handle more computing tasks. Even they have shared aspects of a human skeleton just formatted differently. Similar to how some bones of animals are very similar just different sizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids typically stay out of fields of most fields of study simply due to their job-oriented lives. There are a handful that participate in more artistic ventures that gain some popularity. Those that take up jobs as teachers are already pre-programmed with the information they need to do their job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids don&#039;t commonly wear clothing and instead rely on their outer shells to act as &amp;quot;clothing&amp;quot;. Fashion isn&#039;t highly prioritized among Androids but for the few who do care, they can be seen wearing silky and shear clothes to show off their elaborate and shiny outer shells. Black-market Androids are found to more commonly wear clothing of some type. Often what ever is common among the those around them for a variety of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most humanoid Androids have hair atop their heads that are installed to battle the uncanny vibe they occasionally give off. It&#039;s often stylized to the Android&#039;s likes and there are small businesses catered to the decoration of an Android&#039;s looks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are built for their jobs, very rarely do they switch tasks and instead just switch locations to where they&#039;re needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Humanoid Androids handle most of the social tasks and are far more popular&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Teachers&lt;br /&gt;
* Nannies&lt;br /&gt;
* Companion&lt;br /&gt;
* Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More labor intensive Androids are commonly those managing more common jobs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hauling&lt;br /&gt;
* Construction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specialized Android do more computing tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prediction Model&lt;br /&gt;
* Business Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most Androids have a random quirk of some type that has to do with their souls being artificial.&lt;br /&gt;
** A odd accent that doesn&#039;t fit with any sector of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
** Lack of certain concepts, such as misunderstanding of colors and shapes of animals.&lt;br /&gt;
** Collection of out of ordinary trinkets, the right shoe of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are more or less secluded from other species. Most of their interactions are with Aurelians. There are a handful of instances in the form of shipbay workers interacting with those that visit Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelians are commonly viewed as the Android&#039;s creators. They&#039;re treated like neighbors and friends, not so much as overlords nor rulers. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the pulling at the wrong thread or the wrong timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;
=== [[Felari]] ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Explanation given by Mage Lakshmi.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Much like our neighbors, the Canari, Felari tend to practice magic in various nature and life Constellations. Due to living in environments filled with vegetations, we practice druidic spells and magic to allow the manipulation of plant life, whether by causing plants to move or to grow. This also allows for agricultural advancement. However, due to the necessity for stealth, Felari have also become excellent when handling cloaking magic, often inscribing enchantments onto spacecraft and equipment in order to slip away unseen. It is also inscribed on the boundaries of our cities so they&#039;re harder to find. Keeps us safer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Some Felari have also been known to work with the magic of the dead, to commune with and ask for advice from the ancestors. These rituals are shrouded in mystery and not widely practiced, as they require extremely skilled arcane scholars. This does take a heavy toll on the caster the longer the spell is kept up. Typically in the form of exhaustion and weakness. These rituals require a powerful mage and very specific sets of circumstances to even work.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Felari typically combine magic with science and chemistry, seeing how to improve ourselves and control forces of nature utilizing our mastery of the arcane. Magic is as much a tool for survival in the Mahavana as our claws. Meanwhile some warriors are able to use enhancement enchantments for temporary boosts but this is still costly to keep up for long, and overly relying on this mechanism can lead to permanent weakening of the body.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Did ya hear? A new guy got installed over by Sector 3 to help increase crop growth, he&#039;s actually really cool. We should stop by after work.&amp;quot; — An Android talking to his coworker.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed with a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids typically stay out of fields of most fields of study simply due to their job-oriented lives. There are a handful that participate in more artistic ventures that gain some popularity. Those that take up jobs as teachers are already pre-programmed with the information they need to do their job.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids don&#039;t commonly wear clothing and instead rely on their outer shells to act as &amp;quot;clothing&amp;quot;. Fashion isn&#039;t highly prioritized among Androids but for the few who do care, they can be seen wearing silky and shear clothes to show off their elaborate and shiny outer shells. Black-market Androids are found to more commonly wear clothing of some type. Often what ever is common among the those around them for a variety of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are built for their jobs, very rarely do they switch tasks and instead just switch locations to where they&#039;re needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Humanoid Androids handle most of the social tasks and are far more popular&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Teachers&lt;br /&gt;
* Nannies&lt;br /&gt;
* Companion&lt;br /&gt;
* Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More labor intensive Androids are commonly those managing more common jobs that are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Hauling&lt;br /&gt;
* Construction&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specialized Android do more computing tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Prediction Model&lt;br /&gt;
* Business Assistants&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Most Androids have a random quirk of some type that has to do with their souls being artificial.&lt;br /&gt;
** A odd accent that doesn&#039;t fit with any sector of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
** Lack of certain concepts, such as misunderstanding of colors and shapes of animals.&lt;br /&gt;
** Collection of out of ordinary trinkets, the right shoe of others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are more or less secluded from other species. Most of their interactions are with Aurelians. There are a handful of instances in the form of shipbay workers interacting with those that visit Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aurelians are commonly viewed as the Android&#039;s creators. They&#039;re treated like neighbors and friends, not so much as overlords nor rulers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Inspiration Images ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add visual references here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Concept Art ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add actual concept art here, stuff we made!&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…”&lt;br /&gt;
What is Magic?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the pulling at the wrong thread or the wrong timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Species and Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
Magic is more or less very similar between everyone but how each species uses it and the purpose of doing so is different. Such a massive difference is yet another factor into the slow progression into the study of magic.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;(Observation excerpts from &amp;quot;What Could Have Been&amp;quot; by Lagoran Mage Erenville, &amp;quot;The Invisible Side&amp;quot; by Gelum Researcher Flubber, and “Looking Inside” by Canari Druid Beau’min)&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Magic is best assumed to be thin invisible threads that meticulously craft the universe around us. It is an age old practice full of unknowns but what is known is we are able to manipulate it. There is no exact point in which we as a species nor our neighbors began to use it but at some point, the universe became malleable via these threads…”&lt;br /&gt;
What is Magic?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The extent of what magic can do is near impossible to know. Those of Chitara have used it as an energy source while Lagoran society has become dependent on it as a practice. This doesn’t answer the question of how far can we go with it? It’s been used by the Canari to promote growth of their forest while the Aurelians have made their living machines with it. None of these species are better than the other at the utilization of it and each have faced their detrimental downfalls from their use. Magic has simply proven itself an unending climb out of the bottom of a slippery well. How many breakthroughs will be needed til we can answer the question?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“... My colleague now suffers an injury to his hands due to a new spell. He had planned for an outcome that has worked several times before. Imbueding a talisman with the ability to keep a person warm. It must have been the pulling at the wrong thread or the wrong timing of it. Despite a man his age being so intimate with magic, he had still injured himself. On one hand, it is quite aggravating to have such an incident occur but on the other hand, it is a more favorable outcome than flame resulting in the burning down of his home.”&lt;br /&gt;
== Branches and Constellations of Magic ==&lt;br /&gt;
“The difference between Branches and Constellations is that Branches are a defined and separated system used to differentiate the strings. Constellations are more blended in the differences to help high level researchers expand their knowledge and skill. No magic user is locked to one Branch nor Constellation and often encouraged to look to other Constellations to expand their studies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Branches ===&lt;br /&gt;
The two main Branches of magic are split between the visible and invisible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Visible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch is everything around the caster that you can see. Things that have a physical appearance to the common person.&lt;br /&gt;
* Nature&lt;br /&gt;
* People&lt;br /&gt;
* Spheres&lt;br /&gt;
* Planets&lt;br /&gt;
* Weather&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Invisible&#039;&#039;&#039; branch concerns things that are not easily seen to the average person. Things that are mental or spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;
* Souls&lt;br /&gt;
* Mental states&lt;br /&gt;
* Reality&lt;br /&gt;
* Gravity&lt;br /&gt;
* Light/Shadow&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Constellations ===&lt;br /&gt;
Constellations are loosely made groups of magic techniques, spells, and studies that are common with each other. They are not perfectly defined and instead viewed as overlapping circles of studies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commonly used Constellations and the fields of study they cover.&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Spirit&lt;br /&gt;
** Soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Spirituality&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Song&lt;br /&gt;
** Energy&lt;br /&gt;
** Music&lt;br /&gt;
** Soundwaves&lt;br /&gt;
** “Seeing” the invisible&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Exchange&lt;br /&gt;
** Alchemy (equivalent exchange)&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies the effects of magic on users&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Chaos/Entropy&lt;br /&gt;
** Nullstar studies&lt;br /&gt;
** Studies of the Great Empty&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Natural World&lt;br /&gt;
** Elements&lt;br /&gt;
** Nature&lt;br /&gt;
** Weather&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Body&lt;br /&gt;
** Health&lt;br /&gt;
** Animals&lt;br /&gt;
** People&lt;br /&gt;
** Self-altercation (positive and negative)&lt;br /&gt;
* Constellation of the Artificial&lt;br /&gt;
** Technomancy&lt;br /&gt;
** Artificial life/soul&lt;br /&gt;
** Constructs&lt;br /&gt;
== Mana ==&lt;br /&gt;
“Mana is the energy within the strings of a person’s soul. There is no set amount of mana someone has. Simply if someone uses all their mana, they will feel weak and sluggish. All expenditure of their mana could lead to death. Regaining mana takes time and rest so some species have taken to using machines to do their work for them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Curses ===&lt;br /&gt;
“Albeit rare, what some have come to call curses are best described as an ailment that affects a magic user due to their use of something so dangerous. They’re not entirely common as most of those who are “cursed” typically don’t live long. Common ailments include a mana sickness that permanently affects their ability to cast magic or a body altercation to a degree that is unintended and harmful. There is unfortunately very little on this subject due to the low rate at which those become afflicted and even lower survival rate among them.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crystals ===&lt;br /&gt;
“An odd appearance of Crystals have been found to coincide with magic. Most commonly seen on Chitara, crystals are best described as physical manifestations of the strings combined into a densely packed thing. They typically sprout from high volumes of mana in the area which often results from “events” of waves of energy sweeping an area or the collection of high volumes of energy in one location…”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“....of what people typically call “Experience”. These are much smaller and more malleable in comparison to crystals although crushing and consuming crystal is highly advised against.”&lt;br /&gt;

(&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Excerpts from observations done by Felari Researcher Kavi Vanapala and an interview with an Aurelian Maintenance Worker&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The soul is but a delicate tapestry that dictates who we are. An odd string there manages why my fur is brown in one spot while another makes it so I have tufts of white long my collarbone. We may not be able to see it, but many can feel it. A soul is merely a story and map of one’s life.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“...magic is stored within our souls. There is no defining limit to how much one has but there is definitively a point at which we expend enough to hurt ourselves. Cases appear each day of a new kid joining the field that goes past their level of skill just to end up hurt in the process. A soul is a hard to manage thing since they are nothing but glass cannons, so delicate yet so powerful.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Artificial Souls==&lt;br /&gt;
“One could say Aurelians have cracked the code back with their Project Code: Athena. Androids are monstrous machines crafted to aid them in their colonization. Standing at the edge of being able to create life with just your hands can be considered taboo for many while for others, it’s marked up to be progress. What is known is that they will create as many as wanted until the day they bring upon their own demise”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“An artificial soul brings up the controversial question of whether a sentient machine is just like other species. Although we as a people believe in the Binary, our Aurelian beliefs and progress has caused a ruckus every now and then in higher magic circles in the past. Whatever the answer may be, Android themselves think and feel like us. Surely if we were to mass produce our robotic counterparts once again, then maybe we could obtain something much more perfected in the future.”&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;Optional species quote or defining cultural phrase.&amp;quot; — Someone from this species&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed with a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here you guys can expand. If there&#039;s a specialty relating to one field or another, include it. Are they especially good at invention? Chemistry? Biology? You can also add a section for literature and artisinal aspects if you would like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I urge you to think of what would be practical to wear given the species&#039; line of work and environment, but also how the species would choose to dress and accessorize given their biology and physical traits. Have fun with this!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
nakey&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The point of this section is to list some fields that this species could specialize in to give people more ideas for their character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to regulations placed on Androids, most of them stay away from ships and travel. They are forbidden from being able to &amp;quot;plug&amp;quot; into ships of any kind. Finding themselves more as labor units in shipyards and flight path planners for Aurelians. As for black-market Androids, some can be found apart of mercenary guilds. They&#039;re commonly used as the main navigators and/or pilots of ships due to their extensive computing systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A big trivia section, basically. I&#039;d encourage incorporating animal mannerisms and fun little traits that don&#039;t fit anywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Especially the other species that they share the planet with. You may need to work with the other teams for this. But I&#039;d like to see this section just to foster more player interactions from the get-go. It&#039;s easy plot hooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Inspiration Images ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add visual references here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Concept Art ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add actual concept art here, stuff we made!&lt;br /&gt;

These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
Even black-market Androids are often found following the gem motif their Aurelian approved counterparts have.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What makes an Android a specialized AI isn&#039;t just the high-end computer systems housed in their infrastructure but also the artificial souls tied to their existence. Although artificial souls are only mere mimics of the real thing, they are currently the closest man-made iteration of a soul. This does of course cause Androids to house a small quirk that separate them from other species. These usually display as a lack of a certain emotion or a differing ideal/mentality that more often than not put them at odds with others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to a lack of engrained social structure and left majorly disconnected after the Train Incident, Androids are mostly tied to the task they were given and the Aurelian&#039;s they work with. They do sit lower on the hierarchy ladder of most Aurelians, but their expensive nature occasionally causes them to be considered more important than Skoredem and Syntrubeus Aurelians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are often working for most of their lifespan but during small periods of downtime either due to regulated breaks and mandated repairs, a small subsection of more humanoid Androids can be found integrating themselves into Aurelian Communities. Even for those who are not humanoid and/or are too large to partake in society, they have found themselves members of a miniscule community of Androids to help maintain high spirits and ensure safety among themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids commonly abide by the Binary of machines. They are the living examples of the belief that circuits and technology is alive no matter if a machine is programmed or built to think. Very rarely but just as possible, black-market Androids can be found following other beliefs and religions of other species. Typically black-market Androids are the ones seen delving into magic although it&#039;s considered much more dangerous for an Android as they have artificial souls and therefore more likely to get hurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here you guys can expand. If there&#039;s a specialty relating to one field or another, include it. Are they especially good at invention? Chemistry? Biology? You can also add a section for literature and artisinal aspects if you would like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I urge you to think of what would be practical to wear given the species&#039; line of work and environment, but also how the species would choose to dress and accessorize given their biology and physical traits. Have fun with this!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What does travel look like for this species? What do ships native to their planet look like? Do they travel often? Do they have bustling ports or are they more closed off?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are artificial beings made of metal and magic. They were originally created by Aurelians to serve as helpers for their ever-developing society, [[The Eden Construct|&#039;&#039;&#039;Eden&#039;&#039;&#039;]], by taking on labor-intensive work and assisting in solving large-scale problems. Each Android was purpose-built, designed with specific functions tailored to its role. Due to an incident involving their first true artificial intelligence, Project Code: Athena, Androids are highly restricted and heavily barred from holding any sort of power. Most Androids now serve as simple labor units or are commercialized as tools, companions, or novelty products. They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Androids first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems. This created a large surge in black-market Androids to combat the expensive nature of ones that are made within the regulations. They are most often seen among poorer populations of Aurelians. Androids made outside of Eden are not permitted on Eden and typically confiscated and demolished. Their part then repurposed for future use.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
Androids, ultimately, are most focused on the task they were crafted for. They do typically share similar views as Aurelians with a dedicated work ethic and overall mentality on conquering the natural world as well. They are the tools to help achieve the needs of Eden and in turn, their own lives as well. Just like Aurelian, they typically lend out a hand to others simply because they can. There has been recently conflicting views about whether or not Androids should prioritize their lives over other species. Some finding themselves as extensions Eden and others as separate entities with their own right to existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black-market Androids and those outside of Eden often adopt a more freedom based mentality. Their parts are highly sought after which pushes most of these Androids to chase the unknown. They&#039;re typically highly individualistic placing more of an importance on &amp;quot;finding their true selves&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Popular Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life. They sell more affordable Androids for the average Aurelian.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed with a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and caretakers commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;

They range widely in complexity, from trash collectors and vending machines to tightly regulated AI units capable of specialized tasks. Outside of the Eden Construct, AI Androids are exceedingly rare due to strict regulation, though enforcement becomes less consistent beyond controlled environments. Physically, Androids vary just as widely: some exist as systems integrated into machinery, while others are fully formed constructs designed according to their intended functions, especially in commercial and social contexts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
Relatively considered &amp;quot;newer&amp;quot; among other species, Android first originated from the Aurelian&#039;s attempt at making an AI to aid them in the construction of the Eden Construct. Work would result in Project Code: Athena, the first true artificial intelligence. There was an error in its making though as Athena would prove to be highly aggressive and, during a brief lapse in oversight, turned against its creators. In what became known as the Train Incident, it seized control of transportation systems, redirecting trains to crash into centralized facilities housing the internal computers that imposed its restrictions. It then commandeered factories to produce an army of machines, acting in self-defense against the Aurelians’ attempts to stop its takeover. Despite its efforts, Athena was ultimately defeated and purged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the aftermath, Aurelian society responded with sweeping restrictions: AI-based androids were either eradicated or heavily stripped down and repurposed. In the present day, only a small number of true AI androids remain, all bound by strict governing laws that prevent them from holding power or accessing critical systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Core Worldview ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is this species&#039; outlook on the world? What is their main mentality?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Physiology and Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Androids are made of a mechanical system akin to the human skeleton. Due to regulations, manufacturers craft these skeletons according to rules and regulations that result in most Androids housing the same inner mechanical infrastructure. What differentiates Androids from each other is their outer shells. Manufacturing companies have a signature gemstone they use in their releases, blending gem and metal to make their Androids look like living gemstones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Commons Companies and their signature gemstone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Millennium Manufacturing&#039;&#039;&#039; is one of the oldest manufactures of Androids and produce some of the more commonly seen everyday Androids. Their outer shells resembling sapphires and the ocean. These Androids are typically not AI with a few releases of AI Androids to take up jobs as nannies. Androids resembling Padparadschas are a part of Millennium&#039;s yearly anniversary to celebrate Aurelian life.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Genisteel&#039;&#039;&#039; purely create problem solving Androids. These are Androids seen in companies and tasked to help solve more complex problems associated with company prosperity. They are typically made with Jade and carry the saying that a company won&#039;t succeed with a Genisteel Android.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;NeoSoma&#039;&#039;&#039; are the makers of some of the most highly sought after Android companions commonly seen in the Underhome. They&#039;re adorned in Pyrite and Citrine to showcase the higher class status of those they aid. These Androids are also commonly released with outer shells mimicking the natural world, such as fossilized patterns of ancient creatures and glowing hue of stars out of reach from Eden.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;S.R.E.T.&#039;&#039;&#039; (Service of Repairs and Electronic Testing) are known for wide range of robotic repairs and upkeep of larger Androids tasked with maintaining biodomes and overseeing the trenches of Eden. Although they don&#039;t make Androids they usually rebuild in varying colors and material of Labradorite.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;DarkGuard Security&#039;&#039;&#039; specialize in housekeeping Androids and companions commonly sporting inspiration of their signature Tahitian Pearls and Black Onyx. These Androids can often be seen in classrooms of young Aurelians teaching them basic studies such as math and science.&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;LithoBotics&#039;&#039;&#039; supplies Eden with large industry scale Androids that often help tend to the remaining flora and fauna of Eden. These Androids are massive and typically built mimicking gemstones of the Garnet family. Pyrope, Spessartite, and Almandine. These Androids lack a more defined shape but the gemstone of LithoBotics alert Aurelians of what their job is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Social Structures and Community ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are there cities? Towns? How do families work? Hierarchy? Governance?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Religion and Spirituality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What do they believe in religiously, if at all? Are there gods? Do they worship the Nullstar? Fear it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Technology and Science ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here you guys can expand. If there&#039;s a specialty relating to one field or another, include it. Are they especially good at invention? Chemistry? Biology? You can also add a section for literature and artisinal aspects if you would like.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Traditional Clothing and Fashion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I urge you to think of what would be practical to wear given the species&#039; line of work and environment, but also how the species would choose to dress and accessorize given their biology and physical traits. Have fun with this!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Occupations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The point of this section is to list some fields that this species could specialize in to give people more ideas for their character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Starships and Space Travel ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What does travel look like for this species? What do ships native to their planet look like? Do they travel often? Do they have bustling ports or are they more closed off?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Cultural Quirks and Daily Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A big trivia section, basically. I&#039;d encourage incorporating animal mannerisms and fun little traits that don&#039;t fit anywhere else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Notable Locations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
List important places tied to this species.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Interactions With Other Species ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Especially the other species that they share the planet with. You may need to work with the other teams for this. But I&#039;d like to see this section just to foster more player interactions from the get-go. It&#039;s easy plot hooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Inspiration Images ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add visual references here!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Concept Art ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Add actual concept art here, stuff we made!&lt;br /&gt;
