Hetrixes

--Hetrixs, sentient androids that appear to be fully human on the outside besides a few small differences but on the inside they are much different, they aren’t common but they aren’t rare, though due to them being androids they have to make each other instead of reproducing through biological means. --Hetrixs appear to be Humanoid but have a few tells that are physically visible all the time, one of the largest is that they lack veins throughout their body. Another tell is that they have almost too perfect hair, as it is synthetic and quite cold to the touch like it is made of metal. Finally if you get a glimpse of their back every Hetrix has a set of jacks on their back so they can Uplink to various devices meant for Hetrixs. --Hetrixs don’t face much discrimination like they used to, they’re more seen as just another person, though this can also be said to be because of their likeness to humans when compared to other races like Dracolyths or Na’anaik. The major issue though they have is avoiding things like power surges while uplinked and sometime malicious hackers. Though the latter is a rarity and many Hetrixs have complex firewalls that keep their programming safe. --On the inside a Hetrix is almost fully mechanical, it is to be taken into consideration though that they still have a synthetic nervous system and have emotions, they are not automatons and treating them as such can be seen as extremely offensive. Hetrixs lack a need for things like Oxygen, Food, and Water but can still taste and process these things.

--Hetrixs have their own sets of abilities that they have developed over time, though they are usually related towards things like the expulsion and control of electricity, built in laser-based weaponry, and physical enhancement [Though other abilities have been developed by rather ingenious Hetrixs]. A big tell appears when a Hetrix sues their ability though, their body begins to become shot through with neon lights that resemble circuitry, many of these lights center around their hands, along with this their pupils will often separate into sets of rings like the sight on a rifle. Beyond this Hetrixs are arguably immortal seeing as they do not age or get sick like a biological creature would. --Hetrixs must charge every so often after using their abilities too much, this involves jacking into an uplink through the jacks in their back and then letting their body charge as they move their conscious mind into a state of Dormancy while the process is completed. --Many Hetrixs are different from each other, having different schematics, looks, abilities, and the such. Due to their complex inner working they’re arguably more diverse than the human race itself and so competition often runs high between different Hetrixs to see what design and model is the best model in certain areas. [This has been a big factor in gang wars and criminal acts in the Hetrix community.]
