| Phasma are an evolved race of bioweapons based on the template that [[character:merril_ghere|The Mother of Many]] provided. They should not be engaged under any circumstances unless heavy firepower or a handler is available. It was first an adaptation of the experimental Winter II chassis, but otherwise uses a custom skeletal framework (Usually an [[material/acorium|acorium]] blend when possible) for the bones combined with [[material:syltrucol|Sylt]] for everything else. When they develop humanoid forms tend towards femininity over masculinity, with androgyny being the closest they become to masculinity due to their original template. When they choose or develop more beastlike or monstrous bodies, the variance in shape increases immensely. | Phasma are an evolved race of bioweapons based on the template that [[character:merril_ghere|The Mother of Many]] provided.

| ===Dermal=== | ===Dermal=== |
| Phasma units generally have skin with default a texture and appearance similar to a silicon/plastic blend, but they can change that at will. They either maintain the appearance of an unclothed doll or a bodysuited one, but make no mistake - they don't wear clothes. There are hardened plates of metal (Connected to their skeleton directly) at key points over the body for ease of mounting mountable weapons and technology to. Components mounted onto the hardplates on their body change over time, and gain a coating personalized into the Phasma unit (Based on diet, personal choice, and numerous other small factors like personality traits). This also applies to the skin itself, which is the first part to reform. | Phasma generally have skin with default a texture and appearance similar to a silicon/plastic blend, but they can change that at will.

| A Phasma can either be formed from a base template of random factors (Similar to how an tankbred Oddbody is formed) or can be copied from the neural scan data of an individual. Template Phasma learn incredibly rapidly, consuming as much information as an 18 year old human in their first month of life alone. Beyond that point, how much they learn is purely up to them, whether they maintain a childlike innocence or a veteran's grit is up to them. Convert Phasma need not learn as much as template Phasma, but still have an adjustment period where they can very easily lose faith due to their new nature. One final note: Template Phasma have no concept of death. | A Phasma can either be formed from a base template of random factors (Similar to how an genetank human is made) or can be copied from the neural scan data of an individual.

| Phasma Psionics manifest in about as many variable ways as the Phasma form allows, but one of the most common features is turning the surrounding area via some sort of field ability into some form of control-space. A particularly powerful Phasma doesn't just affect the surroundings, but can create their own pocket of space, effectively creating their own fey domain. | Phasma Psionics manifest in about as many variable ways as the Phasma form allows, but one of the most common features is turning the surrounding area via fieldic ability into some form of control-space.
