Teslan
-The teslans are a race of cybernetically enhanced individuals who are almost completely mechanical. They appear to be somewhat androgynous homo sapiens from the outside, but they have extremely durable skin and highly tuned senses. Most teslans also choose to display the irises of their eyes in an ever-changing range of hues, as part of a cultural tradition and to differentiate them from purely biological humanitans. Throughout most or recorded history, the teslans have occupied the highest status in the on again/off again class structure of humanitans on most worlds. They are seemingly immortal, as their internal power source can last over a thousand years. They seem to crackle with energy when angered, but consider themselves for the most part to be the pinnacle of balanced emotion and logic

Species History
Though they are currently called teslans, this species is simply the final product of thousands of years of cybernetic progress. For years after The Singularity it was understood that artificial minds could be housed in robotic bodies, but these being became the Clarion. Every attempt to move a person's mind into a false body only created a perfect copy of them. In essence the person had to die to be reborn as a cybernetic being.

With the discovery of soulspace, humanity learned that with enough spiritual discipline one could actually move their mind into an enhanced artificial housing. Like a godtank, they rewrite the location of their 'self' into the new body. This takes years of training and sacrifice, but once it is achieved a person can extend their lifespan by almost 1000 years.
