Silicon Soul

Silicon Soul is a group of all species that have voluntarily replaced their bodies with strange, organic machines. Unlike Androids, who are mechanical beings, they have an organic technology that dates back to before the Imperial Calender and the beginning of Arcadia.

Description
They have an organic technology embedded in their flesh. This increases their durability, strength and speed. The cost is that they can no longer replicate themselves normally or be influenced by things like emotions, alcohol or hormones. This leads them to be mostly emotionless, though they do use facial expression, mostly to ease those around them. They also display anger, every now and then, especially if they are in danger or one of them is killed. This organic technology is still mostly unknown by modern science. This means that their powers are mostly unknown as well, beyond physical capabilities.

Appearance
They look wrong. Humans naturally shy away and Utan try to avoid them all together. Valkyries do not desire to test their strength against them, and Goblins often refuse to service them should they ask for anything.

They look like humans, often around the face, but otherwise are different in body proportion. Mostly long and thin, they are usually dressed in black coats. It is a thing of amusement to those who know them that they sometimes wear fashionable clothing to help smooth things over with other people, it doesn't look good on them, even if it fits. They are mostly bald, with females sporting the most head hair (which is stringy and has the stiffness of computer network cable). Some of them have organic emplacement's on their mouths so that their voice is quite synthesized.

Theories
It seems that the City Builders are involved, as some of their more specialized building materials/solvents are very similar to some of the basic chemical processes as the chemicals in the body of the Silicon Soul member.
