The Templaros are a rarity amongst intelligent life, not only for being a synthetic race but also being a protist. The kingdom protista, despite having, through panspermia, come to inhabit hundreds of worlds has daned to evolve intelligence only once. Where the mammals^[1] produce conscious beings in every other order, the Hyaleans^[2], Plazmoans^[3], and other kingdoms that have evolved intelligence. Save for the bacteria, the protists never had the chance to evolve intelligence on their own. That was, until, the discovery of Ulviroastrapeorionis morpheus.

U. morpheus is a species of algae who, like many in its order, exhibits cooperation. Existing somewhere between a colony organism and a plant, U. morpheus created volumes of water, usually in puddles or sectioned-off portions of lakes and rivers, in which the colony resided. In the unique evolutionary history of the species, it had developed the means to use Thaumaturgy, and the required consciousness needed to sustain it. For brief periods, the colony would wake up, use its magic to kill passing fauna, and slowly feed on the remains. These heterotrophs, gaining energy from both sunlight and predation, became widespread around the Metaisochona region of Eos.

U. hecate is a synthetic variant of U. morpheus, awake for half the time rather than briefly as in nature. The result is massively increased metabolism and nutrition, but in modern society, this represents no issue. U. hecate, by itself, would hardly be able to function, but through the use of a custom-made robotic shell, U. hecate has become a widespread intelligent species going by the common name Templaros.

Robotic Shell

The Templaros were originally weapons of war, created to bolster the dwindling ranks of Magi in Gran Rubedo. With centuries of freedom from their creators, Templaro shells evolved with culture. The bipedal robot remains the most convenient body plan for the Templaros and are widely available. Numerous quasi-governmental organizations, representing various Templaro nations and groups, create large numbers of shells and the parts for them.

In poorer areas, the Templaros had hardly changed since their inception, some even uncovered and raided old Rubedan depots to get parts on the cheap. In large cities, the Templaros are as diverse as robots can be. Whether embracing a minimalist design exposing themselves to direct sunlight or covering themselves in layers of armor, Templaros generally make sure to be identifiable as Templaros rather than mere machines. This not only make them safer, but also allows them to identify one another.

The kingdom ''protista'', despite having, through panspermia, come to inhabit hundreds of worlds has daned to evolve intelligence only once.

+''U. morpheus'' is a species of algae who, like many in its order, exhibits cooperation. Existing somewhere between a colony organism and a plant, ''U. morpheus'' created volumes of water, usually in puddles or sectioned-off portions of lakes and rivers, in which the colony resided. In the unique evolutionary history of the species, it had developed the means to use [[Thaumaturgy]], and the required consciousness needed to sustain it. For brief periods, the colony would wake up, use its magic to kill passing fauna, and slowly feed on the remains. These heterotrophs, gaining energy from both sunlight and predation, became widespread around the '''Metaisochona''' region of [[Eos]].
-The '''Kshi''' are a race of cybernetic organisms common in [[Via Aylathiya]]. While originally created to be effective replacements for [[Humans|Human]] soldiers, they have since became fully independent and are widely recognized as fully sapient beings. The Kshis are the majority race in the [[Fusion of Crowns]] and one of the most numerous fully artificial race in the Universe.
+''U. hecate'' is a synthetic variant of ''U. morpheus'', awake for half the time rather than briefly as in nature. The result is massively increased metabolism and nutrition, but in modern society, this represents no issue. ''U. hecate'', by itself, would hardly be able to function, but through the use of a custom-made robotic shell, ''U. hecate'' has become a widespread intelligent species going by the common name Templaros.
-The first Kshi was created in 10,812 CE in Via Aylathiya for a program lead the [[Neo-Terranism|Neo-Terrans]] to create effective soldiers that had all the advantages of robots while also having [[Thaumaturgy|Thaumical]] abilities. The Kshis proved greatly effective in battle, greatly cutting down on casualties while greatly increasing effectiveness. The Neo-Terran abandoned many of the Kshi as they fled to Martial Space in 16,112. Later that millennium, in 17,704, many of the Kshis began serving [[Beatrix]], a powerful artificial intelligence that promised them freedom and a noble purpose. Those that refused fled to Martial Space just as their former masters had.

+The Templaros were originally weapons of war, created to bolster the dwindling ranks of [[Magi]] in [[Gran Rubedo]]. With centuries of freedom from their creators, Templaro shells evolved with culture. The bipedal robot remains the most convenient body plan for the Templaros and are widely available. Numerous quasi-governmental organizations, representing various Templaro nations and groups, create large numbers of shells and the parts for them.
-The Kshis have a similar design to the armor used by the first Human [[Magi]] within Via Aylathiya. Their heads are vaguely similar in shape to human heads, but are shaped as though they were helmets to be worn by a human. Rather than two eye-holes, however, there exists a hole "cut out" of the head which the cameras and audio sensors lie behind. Inside the head is what is known as the Auxiliary Processing Unit. It takes sensory information and converts it into neural signals that are sent along to the biological brain located in the torso.
+In poorer areas, the Templaros had hardly changed since their inception, some even uncovered and raided old Rubedan depots to get parts on the cheap. In large cities, the Templaros are as diverse as robots can be. Whether embracing a minimalist design exposing themselves to direct sunlight or covering themselves in layers of armor, Templaros generally make sure to be identifiable as Templaros rather than mere machines. This not only make them safer, but also allows them to identify one another.
-What is best described as their "skin" is a carbon-fiber mesh allowing for a wide range of movement similar to chain-mail. They have the ability to affix specially-manufactured plates to their skin using hooks they are created with. These plates are often armor, but can also be tools or simply just temporary storage.
-Their hands, by default, have 5 digits. Their digits are divided into two sections running parallel to each other from the base of the digit to the tip. The sections usually work in sync, creating the one digit. At will, a Kshi can desync the digits and operate them independently of one another. With five joints each, the ten total digits are remarkably versatile and robust. Many humans living in Via Aylathiya choose to augment themselves with these hands citing their usefulness in a myriad of hands-on tasks.
-In their torsos are a myriad of devices used to keep the Kshis alive. Heating coils, hydrogen tanks, hydrogen fuel cells, glucose storage containers, and gyroscopes are the more mundane objects within the Kshi's body. Each one is artificially created and installed into newly created suits.
