Diclonius

The Diclonius (Scientific Name: Homo Ex Machina), or originally Deiclonos, is the final product of the DEICLONOS Project, or God's Clone Project, being an artificial modification of the human species, centered primarily on the augmentation of the maximum potential in their Mind and Soul Components. Diclonii are primarily characterized by their innate ability to command vectors, more so than their vast mental capabilities. Though originally created in Phantasia, following GARNET's destruction only seven survivors manage to escape, often to the worlds including, but not limited to: Euthora (Only in Cult of Ustream), Mantua and Vindrgard.

Appearance

Diclonii are outwardly identical to humans, though it should be noted that, due to the controlled randomization of genetic algorithms used in their creation, these standards conform to those of Phantasian humans in general. Furthermore, their containment conditions give them two defining qualities: their light pale complexion due to the lack of exposure to natural sunlight (despite GARNET's underground complex attempting to magically replicate environmental parameters), and a serial number representing their "version" (i.e. the numerical order of finalization) below their left shoulder, and aligned towards their arm.

Abilities

Vectors

Vectors are psychokinetic limbs that extend out of the pineal gland of a Diclonius. These limbs are created by a vast, yet compressed series of psychokinetic frequencies which can be manipulated by a Diclonius to change states from tangible to intangible in any given moment. The quantity and length of vectors is extremely dependent on the Diclonius, and varies for each.

Evolution

Silpelits

A Silpelit is the hybrid offspring of a Diclonius and another humanoid, generally a human. Silpelits are considered "carriers" of Diclonius traits, namely the godlike Soul potential, but are unable to use vectors or similar traits attributed to Diclonii. A human breeding with a Diclonius will always produce a Silpelit; two Silpelits will have a chance to produce any of the three; a Silpelit and a Diclonius or a human will have a chance of either a Silpelit or the other parent's species. This means that a lineage can consist of several generations of Silpelits before randomly producing a Diclonius or true human; the former is more noticeable as Silpelits are outwardly indistinguishable from humans.
