Homebrew Omnic Species Details

Omnics are produced by omniums, automated robotics factories that were built with self-improving software algorithms which eventually became self-aware. As such, omnics are endowed with the capacity for free will, and according to some, with souls. Omnics, even the baseline humanoid model, have been described as being better, stronger, faster, and smarter than humans. However, they are susceptible to the effects of an EMP. Advanced AI programs known as god programs, can forcibly take control of otherwise independent omnics and bend them to their will. Some omnics, if not all, possess a unique form of energy, dubbed "omnic energy," which has both destructive and restorative properties
