Teknocrat

{{Race
 * hasSetting=Aethersteel Universe;
 * hasDescription=The Teknocrats believe themselves to be the masters of their universe. The laws that bind reality together are meant to be broken and the secrets that existence tries to hold onto must be unlocked. As the children of Skyrus their society revolves completely around forward progress. Either you are the driving force toward innovation and discovery, or you are the back upon which others who are greater than you trample upon in their rise to achievement. Their understanding of the Aether and its complex equations of existence allow them to unlock untold power, and to push the very fabric of the Nexus to the brink.

Their world has become one governed by mega corporations whose ability to wield untold power grant them the resources and personnel to stretch the limits. Their entire existence is based around a level of social status where the more you contribute to the forward progress of society, the more valued you are. This leads to brutal efficiency, and a world where either you are inventing the next big weapon, or you are being dissected to become it.

Organization
Teknocrats are governed by the Mainframe, a centrally located AI that governs all Teknocrat law and society. The Mainframe operates as a collective computer, with its processing and storage centers located in various Temples around the Teknocrat home realm.

As the mainframe sees a need to steer the direction of society it will gestate additional citizens to fill voids.

While the Mainframe has the overall say on the direction of society, the Avatars are the human side of the equation -a citizen who is selected to serve for life as a part of the mainframe, his mind forever connected to the computing power at the finger tips of the Teknocrat people.

Teknocrat Culture
Teknocrats are bred from the highest quality stock of DNA, and embryonic pods that the Mainframe could acquire. Their body is gestated to young adult hood in an effort to remove the wasteful years spent in human childhood. Each is formed in order to fulfill a specific task.

Science is the most pure sign of respect and homage to the Aeon Skyrus. Innovation is beautiful, and should be your primary driving goal. Leave no stone unturned, regardless how that has to happen. Remember little one, the ends ALWAYS justify the means. The corporations work closely with the mainframe to govern the advancement of technology and to insure proper resources are spent on the right projects, so individuals are expected to become part of the corporate structure.

Cities
Teknocrat cities are formed within various biodomes, as the world outside has been poisoned to the brink of inhabitability. These biodomes offer all of the comforts of home, including assigned housing, and a holographic sky. Each city however is separated into districts that spiral out from the center. The absolute center is reserved for those of the highest social stature, while the lesser live on the edge.

Outcasts
Not everyone is a believer in the stability and productivity that the Mainframe permits. The limitless processing power and instant information available for your simple absolute obedience does not fit their mindset. These ‘damaged’ individuals are scheduled to be terminated and their matter recycled, yet many of them have escaped into the wastelands outside of the domes or exist in the hundreds of kilometers of sewage tunnels deep under the cities. The Mainframe actively seeks to hunt these scavengers down, but like rats your species is when population is left unchecked they continue to grow and breed. }}
