The Sentience-Emulating Robotic-Automatons (or "S.E.R.A." for short), are a race of androids that serve as a law-enforcement agency throughout the universe.

## History

Towards the end of the  Celestial rebellion around 2000 BC, The Elder Sage, The  Exiebicuus' leader, created an entirely new line of androids in an attempt to restore and enforce order: The Sentience-Emulating Robotic-Automatons. However, the creation of the SERA came too late, as the rebellion had already ended and the Exiebicuus had lost by the time of their construction. So, The Elder Sage instead implemented the SERA as universal peace-keeping law enforcement androids.

## Social Structure

The SERA have little to no actual social structure.
Typically, they work alone, but will occasionally group up if they find each other. If they feel they need help on a "case," they will create a new SERA to help, and after that case they will go their separate ways.

## Biology

### Anatomy

SERA are constructed in a very similar way to Celestials. But rather than running on Primordial Energy like The Celestials, SERA instead are powered by a core made out of liquid Veriperium, similar to a fusion reactor and just as powerful. However, despite the core's immense power, it’s also *highly* volatile, so if even a single spark comes into contact with it, an explosion with a radius as large as an entire city could occur.

SERA's bodies have a highly modular build, meaning that pieces may be attached, removed, and shifted around the body in a near-infinite variety of configurations. The appendages of SERA, such as hands and feet, can shift into many different types of bladed weapons or ranged cannons. They have the ability to create and control plasma/energy, which would entail electromagnetic abilities as well, but they can only generate small amounts at a time.

SERA have no "natural" lifespan, meaning it is impossible for them to die without being destroyed. Their cores last thousands of years before being depleted, upon which they can easily replace it with a new core of liquid Veriperium. Likewise, they will replace any other of their components that may degrade to the point of no longer functioning.

### Abilities

SERA are capable of flight, using a series of boosters in their feet and two sets that can flip out from their back.
Their bodies are also self-repairing up to a certain extent, though this isn't infinite.
Additionally, they possess very slight abilities of transmutation, though only able to transmute small amounts of material at a time, and only to and from nonliving material.

This transmutation ability also ties into the SERA's reproduction process as well. They do not sexually reproduce like most organic creatures, and they do not asexually reproduce like Celestials, either. In fact, they don't even "reproduce" at all; they literally construct another SERA from scratch, by transmuting matter into the material that composes their bodies.

### Programming

SERA are fairly blunt and highly intelligent, made to follow a certain set of rules and laws as well as enforce them. They are programmed to follow and (more importantly) enforce a specific series of "universal" laws, which are basic moral principles that the Elder Sage thought all beings should follow.
Though such an Absolute, black-and-white disposition can come with some unfortunate and detrimental unforeseen side effects. The SERA are quite literal in their enforcement of the law. They rarely take technicalities or variables into consideration, so if they see a being "violating" a perceived law, that being *will* be reprimanded, regardless of the circumstances or context of the act.

Despite their seemingly emotionless demeanor, SERA do, in fact, feel. But they are simply just programmed to be able to hide their emotions well, as showing them openly can be seen as detrimental in society, as they have witnessed before.
