In a far-flung age after humanity's glory and downfall, UNIVER.SYS' landscape became home to the Techne (singular and plural).
Though most of their origins were lost to history, scholars have worked to piece together their past. The prevailing theory suggests that Techne evolved from the union of the Monads, UNIVER.SYS' primordial natives, and the Scions, descendants of humanity from beyond the world. Yet the true nature of the Monads, Scions, and their transformation into Techne remains mostly a mystery.
Techne Physiology
Despite their humanoid form and behavior, Techne had no biological functions due to their Monadic ancestry. Their bodies consist of amorphous, metallic material. Instead of traditional metabolism, they process energy in its purest form. However they still can consume food out of habit or recreation, though they converted it directly into energy.
While Techne can live for centuries without aging, they are not immortal. Their bodies can be destroyed and rebuilt, they die if their Kernel—the core data of their being—is destroyed or severely corrupted.
Trivia
- Techne is derived from the Ancient Greek term tékhnē, literally meaning ”art, skill, craft”. The English word technology comes from the prefix techne and the suffix -ology; both words are of Greek origin combined to mean "the practical application of knowledge".[1]
- Their Monad ancestors are derived from the philosophical term of the same name, particularly the Phytagorean definition of Monad.[2]
