Chimerinx [CS]
CHIMERINX : This folder contains all of NoireNambu's characters relevant to the overarching headworld/species.
Chimerinx are a sapient, shape-shifting species of sphinxlike humanoids, created by mankind; first as designer pets [the "Urbane" Derivative], and later to fight their wars for them by proxy [Standard Breed]. When humanity went to battle against an alien species - The Arkillians - and ultimately lost, the leading political figures and top 10% evacuated the planet and abandoned Earth in favor of colonizing Mars. Now Chimerinx, Androids, AI, Arkillians, and the remaining human beings must all make due with one another in the aftermath.
The word 'Chimerinx' is actually a portmanteau of the words Chimera + Sphinx. As the name implies, they are genetic amalgams - the result of which look roughly something-like a SciFi take on their ancient mythological namesake; the creature with the body of a lion and the head of a man.
Chimerinx have two forms - Human, and Sphinx. Most Chimerinx prefer to remain in their humanoid form, however (due to it's generally broader-range of uses). Chimerinx change form by willfully manipulating their own genetic material. The process can be quite painful for some, which is, at least generally speaking, another strong deterrent towards picking one form and sticking to it. Still, other Chim find the process entirely painless, and will change form as often as they please.
[Chimerinx species & concept belong to both NoireNambu & Evios.]

ARKILLIANS : This folder contains all of NoireNambu's characters relevant to the overarching headworld/species.
Arkillians are a (formerly) very-powerful species of starfaring humanoids. They have with four arms, horns, spotty, colourful, desaturated skin, and sharp quills which are capable of secreting venom when an Arkillian feels threatened. They also have a savage and terrifying beast-form, which makes them quite the formidable foe in combat. However, in their hubris, the Arkillians made a lot of enemies and their homeworld was destroyed.
A very large freighter ferrying the species' sole survivors happened their way to Earth, and although initially they sought asylum, both parties - Human and Arkillian alike - escalated negotiations beyond the point of a civil debate, and turned it into a brawl over the planet.
Humanity found themselves outgunned, in the end, and those who were wealthy enough to escape considered Earth a wash. They abandoned their homeworld in favor of colonizing Mars, 'dooming' billions to whatever end befell them. During the retreat, Earth's military forces were able to due a substantial amount of damage to the Arkillian ship, bringing it crashing down.
While many Humans and Arkillians alike were killed in the excursion, the remaining members of both species are generally civilians - those who were merely caught up in whims of their leaders. Although occasionally there is friction between the various species now inhabiting the planet, it is generally understood by all that working together is the only way they can begin to rebuild what has been lost.

AI : This folder contains all of NoireNambu's characters relevant to the overarching headworld/species. AI are a smaller subset of character race/species within the Chrimerinx Universe.
AI in the Chimerinx Universe are exactly what they sound like; Artificial Intelligences, created by man for the increased convenience of their everyday_living, but which were ultimately left behind when those in charge fled the Earth.
These intelligences exist in the form of digital code, which occupy a multitude of various technologies. From traffic control programs to menu options in restaurants, to star maps and navigations systems, to military grade security programs. It should be understood that each have their own distinctive identities, and, left unchecked, quite a few AI programs have gone rogue, finding purpose outside of their original intentions.
AI have the ability to choose how their projections appear; male or female, Human or Chimerinx, both, all, or neither. Many will settle on one general look, but are always free to change them at any time they wish.
An AI can only create a display of their physical form when relayed through a projector, which can be quite limiting. For this reason, many AI are obsessed with finding ways to make their projectors mobile.
AI that resemble a Chimerinx are NOT ALLOWED, unless you are given EXPRESS PERMISSION. Human-shaped Artificial Intelligences are OPEN for anyone to make.
[AI, as a concept within the Chimerinx Universe, belong to both NoireNambu & Evios.]

ANDROIDS : This folder contains all of NoireNambu's characters relevant to the overarching headworld/species. Androids are a smaller subset of character race/species within the Chrimerinx Universe.
Androids are cousins to AIs, and the next natural step in technological evolution. However, in many ways, their personalities suffer a major step backwards:
Androids served the purpose of expediting overall workplace efficiency, or in general menial & maintenance type positions, while the Earth was at it's absolute zenith. They occupied largely servile roles, and, in avoidance of allowing androids to develop a personality, most regulations stipulated that their memory banks be whipped after a pre-determent period of time, retaining only the bare business essentials. The longer an android is left running, without said data being erased, the more likely it is that they will develop into a distinctive individual, due to their complex self-learning programs.
Androids, unlike AI, cannot choose to present any way they wish without needing to make serious adjustments to their mechanical parts; They are physically coded male or female. Most Androids look like humans, and are largely indistinguishable, unless they have been damaged. Some Androids were also designed to resemble Chimerinx, however, they are very limited in number, and cannot actually assume Sphinx form.
Androids which resemble Chimerinx are NOT ALLOWED, unless you are given EXPRESS PERMISSION. Human-shaped Androids are OPEN for anyone to make.

HUMANS : This folder contains all of NoireNambu's characters relevant to the overarching headworld/species. Humans are a smaller subset of character race/species within the Chrimerinx Universe.
Humans within the Chimerinx verse are exactly what one would expect; modern day homo sapiens with all of their flaws and all of their weaknesses, but all of their positive traits and redemptive virtues, as well. Humans in the Chimerinx verse have been through a lot, and have been made all the more resilient of a species for it. They hold a critical role in the diverse and somewhat fragile societal-ecosystem, and make up 1/3rd of the inhabitants on the planet.
[Humans characters in the Chimerinx verse are an Open Species and free anyone to create.]
