Homebrew Ex-Machina Species Details

Attitudes and Beliefs

Defensive Nature: Although they are able to replicate and counteract attacks from opponents with ferocity, they are a defensive race in nature. If not provoked, they have no aggression towards any person or group. Therefore, they could potentially lose if they are beaten by the first move or if an unpredictable method is used before they can fully assess and correct the situation.

 

Emotions: They are mostly unfamiliar with the concept of emotions, therefore they could be confused when faced with unknown feelings. Also, they could act rather insensitive and blunt due to their lack of understanding in tactfulness.

 

Society

The Ex-Machina have a hive mind and considered themselves a single entity. They work by simple evaluation and response under an administrator unit, with the callsign of the unit given the name Einzig. Beneath the administrator units, they are divided into "Clusters" which consist of 437 units each and led by their respective Befehler units. 32 clusters are known. All Ex-Machina units ultimately follow their callsign, therefore, making him the race representative. However, in given circumstances, a unit may replace Einzig and assume command temporarily.
