Synth ID Codes

Synth ID codes are used by ARCDA to determine the individual Synth's age, base, and batch.

 Standard Synth ID Codes

The standard formulae for Synth ID Codes go as follow:

*[Year of Creation]:[Day]:[Month]: [Prefix]:[Shortened form of the Scientific name of the base being mimicked]-[Batch Number]-[Birth Number][A/B for twins]*

Examples:

* A:01:12:CanisLupus-1-1 - Born in the year A, on the 1st December, based off a Wolf, the 1st batch produced, and the 1st to be born.
* F:09:05:AraMacao-10-45 - Born in the F year, on the 9th May, based off a Scarlet Macaw, part of the 10th batch and the 45th to be born.
* Z:12:03:TadariBrasili-54-3 - Born in year Z on the 12th March, based off the mexican free tailed bat (*Tadarida brasiliensis*), part of the 54th Batch produced, and the 3rd born.

There will be variations if smaller subspecies/breeds are used, with Canid breeds based upon specific dog breeds using a native form of the breed name, or simply being called by a shorter name such as Hawk, or Hummingbird. The short forms of these will be similar but with less detail.

**Example**:

***Wilny***: *E:22:05:LoddiMirab-1-1* [Long Form] | *Hummingbird-E-1-1* [Short Form]

***Raoul***: *V:31.12: CanisFamil;NorskElghund-22-24* [Long Form] | *Hound-V-22-24* [Short Form]

## Preternatural Codes

***See More**: Preternatural Codes and Origin Differences*

Preternaturals have a different system, as they have their own subtypes in a similar way that Canids have different sub-Breeds.

There are 17 different origins for **Preternaturals**.

Every batch produced within each origin aren't exact and perfect clones of one base but more rather siblings to one another with minor differences varying with appearance, and sometimes the extent of each individuals ability.

1. DRACO
2. VIRGO
3. LEO
4. CYGNUS
5. CETUS
6. GEMINI
7. ORION
8. LYRA
9. VELA
10. RIGEL
11. VE-RA
12. SIRIUS
13. TIANYI
14. LYNX
15. DRAC-US
16. ZHANG
17. CY-NX

Each generation of Preternatural has a different Prefix within their ID codes (similar to how Non-Preter synths have the shortened versions of the names of the creatures they have a base on), with differences between male and female Preternaturals. ***[Year]:[Month].Day]:[Base]-[Birth order]***

```
Examples

```

```
**J:01.01:DRACO-01** [Long form] | **J:DRACO-01** [Short form]

```

```
**R:03.22:VE-RA-23** [Long form] | **R:VE-RA-23** [Short form]

```

```
**N:10.14:LEO-166** [Long form] | **N:LEO-166** [Short form]

```

Origins usually stay in production for up to ten years before they are discontinued.

#### **Transhuman Preternaturals**

Transhuman Preternaturals use the system of the year and day they were first changed into a transhuman, and they have an additional *suffix* of ACEUM, or ACE in short form.

```
***Example***:

```

```
**AA:09.02.TIANYI-ACEUM-728** [Long Form] | **AA:TIANYI-ACE-728** [Short Form]

```

```
**Q:03.01.VELA-ACEUM-612** [Long Form] | **Q:VELA-ACE-612 [Short Form]**

```

## Pre-ID Codes

There is not a lot known about the codes of Synths born before the ID conventions were put into place.

* Synths
* Preternaturals
* Transhumans

## Trivia

* ACEUS and ACE come from the latin aceus or aceous to mean "resembling, having the nature of, forming, belonging to"
