FERROVULPES

This article serves as a reference document for the hardware and design features present in the military grade SILVER-class android that serves as Isthmau's body. This article is intended to be kept up to date with canon RP and is subject to change as dictated by events in the story.

The skeleton of the SILVER unit is composed of a foam like boron carbide lattice frame sheathed in a thin layer of boron nitride and stonethread. This provides a light-weight, durable skeleton.

The musculature of the SILVER unit is divided into two types. The first type being a military grade synthetic muscle present in all of the complex muscle groups of the body. The second is composed of Lorath Structural Layering Mesh, present in the large muscle groups of the arms, legs, and torso.

In the layer present between the musculature and skin exists a reservoir of pico-jelly that frequently mimics subdermal fat deposits aiding in the SILVER's simulacrum of a living being. This layer typically contains the majority of the SILVER's circulatory systems allowing for the transport of materials, pico-jelly, or repair micromachines with the network reforming as needed. In addition, the subdermal layer provides some defensive capability with the pico-jelly reserves able to function as a ballistic gel, heat dissipation system, or to self-purge in order to prevent chemical, biological, or nanomechanical damage.

The skin of the unit is primarily composed of an interchangeable layer of plastic or organic based pico-jelly providing a near perfect imitation of natural skin. While the primary purpose of this layer is to aid in social acceptance, the presence of sensory hairs, photoreceptors, the capacity to alter the pigment of the skin or produce thermoptic camouflage ensures that the skin of the SILVER is more functional than cosmetic.
