Technomancer

The Technomancers are a race of transhuman species that had been transformed by nanites that were smuggled into *The Ark of Tesla* in order to survive in the Poseidon Galaxy. In the Juda Federation, they are highly renowned for their scientific endeavors while also being logical and crave knowledge.

## Physiology & Abilities

The Technomancers may look like humans at a glance, but have robotic-looking eyes and glowing cyan veins that contain nanomachines along with having pale complexions. The nanites in their systems act as an immune system as well as giving them greater strength and brain processing. The knowledge and sometimes memories of the parents are transferred to the child via nanites with years of research that have been transferred to the child and does have the option of finishing their research or use their combine knowledge to advance their own research.

Thanks to the nanites, their nervous systems have also advance which allows them to manipulate their own magnetic field and produce electricity. They use this to detect metals when mining and any form of technology within their vicinity. They even use the nanites in their bodies to regenerate anything that has been damage, literally anything. They also possess the psionic ability to connect with digital networks, but only the upper class have access to this ability.

## Society & Culture

Technomancers of the Huji Technocracy have a bit of a social hierarchy as they are an oligarchic society. At the top are the Council of the Minds and the Science-General that supervise the political affairs of the Technocracy. However, there is a merit system where anyone can climb the ranks and become the next member in the Council or the Science-General for the ambitious. For one to be a member or the leader, they must show off their impressive science skills and knowledge that can surpass the current members or leader while also gaining the ability to connect, access and manipulate the digital networks in the Huji Technocracy's cyberspace somehow. Yet there are those that despise them, but the law forbids any interference to one's merits. Just try to be better than the opposition.

Science, logic and reasoning are the bases of the Technomancers and the Huji Technocracy. Religion is consider a hindrance to progress and development so they cast aside the old religions in order to survive. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop a few online cults that follow religions based on video games. Knowledge is also important, in which the Huji Technocracy has all the information on history, sciences, and more from Earth before the "Great Exodus" that can be available in cyberspace. Despite many advancements, they try not to damage the environment too much like their human ancestors did.

The capital punishment for Technomancers is extremely severe. If one commits a crime, they are taken to have the nanomachines in their bodies removed and face sentences far worse than death. Some are taken to laboratories to be part of an experiment that often results in death or worse. Others are taken to processing plants where they are lobotomize, given cybernetics and restraining devices which result in Servitors. These cyborgs are given certain cybernetics depending on the task such as building and repair, used for watch dogs, security forces, medical purposes, industrial work, and in rare cases, warfare. Other times, they have their brains removed and used as processors for more elaborated networks while given an AI implant to help with processing.
