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 deigned to evolve intelligence only once. Where the mammals[1] produce conscious beings in every other order, the Hyaleans[2], Plazmoans[3], and other kingdoms have evolved intelligence as well. Save for kingdom monera, 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.
