Cyburun

The **Cyburuns** may look alien cyborgs, but in truth, they are actually transhumans with some mutations that helped them endure the process of having cybernetics. They are the main race of the Usonia Liberty Republic and are comprised of different ethnicities of the American continents.

## Physiology & Abilities

The Cyburuns look like a race of humanoid beings with skin coloration that range from pale or light blue to dark blue pending on their heritage. They also possess bony ridges on their temples, elongated ears and blue within blue eyes. This was actually a result of mutation from all the unknown substances in space that float around in the Poseidon Galaxy.

To prevent any further mutation, they had to use cybernetics in order to survive while also have them techno-organic in nature. Much of their organs have been replaced with these new parts that are later passed on from one generation to the next along with other modifications. This include replacing much of the nervous system with fiber optics that are linked to the cybernetic replacements in the brain. Not much is known about these new lobes, but they do prevent any form of mental damages or problems such as Alzheimer, amnesia, trauma and much more. Yet they do say that this also allows them to uplink with their network and send their consciousness through their network upon death until they get a new full cyborg body. Much of their blood has nanomachines in their veins to help with blood flow. Not only that, it also helps with regenerating any wounds even the most fatal ones. But it also resulted for them having some parts of their skin give off a blue biolumenescent veins.

## Society & Culture

The Cyburuns are a proud race of people that take pride in their heritage. They are also a very democratic society.

They are divided into the many cultures that made up the 32 nations of the Americans. Politically speaking, they are similar to the United States. Culturally, however, that is a different story. In the northern parts of Usonia, their culture is rather similar to Canada and northern United States. In the southern parts of Usonia, they are similar to Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean except colder. They do love their celebrations with vibrant colors, loud music and artistic expressions. Many forms of art are highly valued in Cyburun society.

Their architecture is a mix of different styles from the Americans ranging from Victorian to art deco to modern.

However, much of their laws and rights are based on the USA Bill of Rights and Constitution where everyone can be free. Everyone can have their voice heard and express their ideals through speech, press, assembly or social media. People are free to chose, practice and leave whatever religion they want and even create some of their own. People are even allowed to bear armaments to protect not only themselves, but also their country. The military can only be comprised of volunteers with no drafting. And so much and so-so.

The Cyburuns of the Usonia Liberty Republic are very patriotic and willing to do anything to defend their family, country and rights. Anything that is a threat to them and their freedoms is considered an enemy. They would go to great lengths to protect themselves, the people they love and their country such as ensuring there will be no apocalyptic horrors when it comes to a cold war with the Soviet Republic.
