Toiran |

|
|
The Toiran are a
race of organic minded machines. As their body
parts wore from age, they were gradually
replaced with their mechanical counterparts. And
so, piece by piece, the
Toiran species changed, until it was no
longer recognized as a “species” in its most
fundamental of senses. |
|
|
|
Their bodies, once flesh and blood, were
gradually replaced with steel and machinery,
eventually removing any possibility of organic
reproduction. Even their minds were not left
unchanged, as their brains were eventually
replaced with their computer equivalents—only
mechanized and, therefore, more efficient.
|
|
|
|
In this way, they were to become the race known
as the Toiran, but
after centuries of existence, their original
members became few. Though old age was never the
cause of a
Toiran ’s
death, the natural disasters of the universe
ever dwindled their numbers. And since their
metal bodies did not allow for reproduction—save
the construction of the mindless robots to toil
below them—their species is but the remainder of
an old and dying race… |
|
|
|
But it was their need to
survive that lead them to become masters
of their motives: the production of order and
efficiency. Their endless task to rebuild and
reconstruct leads only to their selflessly
communal desire to organize and to, therefore,
live on. Their metal bodies are but vessels for
their cause, as their constant expansion is
marked only by mutual growth and prosperity of
their friends and allies. |
