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 upper spine, or more specifically, below the neck of a Diclonius. They manifest as ethereal arms that, by their very nature, appear to distort the space they are occupying into the shape of the limb; this is due to the vector itself refracting and deviating the wavelengths of light, and is dependent on the quality of the vector in question, as well as specific vibrational parameters.

Vectors are composed of a vast, yet compressed series of Radical Vibrations that reverberate so strongly by default that they manifest as tangible forces that can affect the external world. Due to this, they are considered psychokinetic in nature, despite not possessing Psion Flow at all. It is thought to be impossible for outside factors, such as Psionic interference, to even plausibly manipulate vectors--the interference level required to do so would need to override the overlapping wavelengths of the chaotic Radicals, as well as bypass the ever-changing frequency chains of the vector.

However, manipulation by the Diclonius is extremely simple and nigh-effortless, thought to be similar as the mental processing needed to move an arm or a leg. Vectors are extremely versatile, capable of serving as powerful utility tools, or absolutely deathly weapons. There are numerous parameters that govern the Radicals of a vector, which define their psychokinetic state and properties. A Diclonius, through experience or practice, can modify these indices at will, the combination of which results in a variety of different properties and behavior such as intangibility, invisibility, deformation, hardness, sharpness, etc.

Evolution

Silpelits

A Silpelit is the hybrid offspring of a Diclonius and any another compatible humanoid, ideally a human. Silpelits are considered "carriers" of Diclonius traits, namely the godlike Soul potential. [REWORK IN PROGRESS]
