Cybers (5e Race)

## **Cybers**

"Data, insufficient, require further access to the mortal's cerebral cortex." -Jetray

### **Physical Description**

Made of dense metal that prisms in a certain light, Cybers are living creatures with mechanical organs. They were built to be superior, though flawed in their own way. Cybers are very much like androids lacking the humanity and Warforges, minus the no heart part. They are actually living, breathing, self-thinking, metal people.

### **History**

Created and forged, the Cybers were born from the first creator gods of a far off world, slowly finding themselves integrating with all societies in all dimensions, despite their worlds being far different. The Cybers come from a powerful land of elemental focus where they could not use such elements due to their nature. Not content with simply having a higher intellect, they created their own energy known as Peltist to combat and obtain the equal skill and ability with other races. Many wars have waged throughout the years with cybers and living creatures, but as of later years, they have become a force for good and defined justice.

### **Society**

The Cybers live in very prosperous cities that have developed beyond most fantasy worlds, though their technology can only go so far with the materials that are available. They tend to live in hiding on their Capital city so that their knowledge cannot be exploited by tyrants or powerful casters. Cybers have the ability to use artificer tech to make invisibility walls or cloaking of their own with Peltist energy.

### **Relationship**

Not all Cybers get along with the other races. Some are built as soldiers, where others are built for exploration. The Cybers naturally are friends with the more intelligent races along with the primal races. Cybers that hold no connection to their capital are considered Glitched to capital Cybers, creating tension between the race. Most Cybers tend to be Artificiers as they enjoy working with technology.

### **Cyber Personality**

Intelligent, proactive, cunning, egotistical, lawful, and strict. The Cybers tend to be more within the laws of the world, using it to their advantage of advancement. Many Glitched Cybers go against the law or even doing what they feel is right, but are usually frowned upon. You can use the Cyber Quirks table to determine a personality quirk for a Cyber character or to inspire how your character might act.
