Synth

Overview
' OOC Note : All synths that will be playable via request will adhere to the lore that encompasses Generation 2. You will need to be visibly identifiable as a synth, and cannot easily pass as just any other human. They also do not possess reproductive organs, or genitalia. Please roleplay this accordingly! '

Synth (short for synthetic humanoids, also called androids or artificial humans) is a commonly used term to refer to biological and mechanical robots manufactured within the Institute laboratories. Those that are seen in Yuma, however rare, are those that lie between the most predated and advanced versions of their kind - second generation, that are eerily humanoid yet not entirely so. They often have a noticeably grey to eggshell skin tone, luminous eyes that resemble lights, and can appear to be disheveled or broken in appearance due to neglect or decay.

Most if not all synths originate from the laboratories of the Institute, however there are pockets of civilization that have began to accept and integrate them into their fold, such as Yuma. There are many of their kind who are abandoned, tossed, or otherwise escape from their creators to seek a purpose beyond experimentation. Though there are some who remain loyal to their creators, and act as eyes for the Washington scientists. Beyond that, there are very sharp minds hidden in the wastes who may attempt such a creation on their own, using the Institute's models as their foundation.

As they are synthetic humanoids, the only option to preserve their race is to band together. The greatest threat to their kind, the Brotherhood of Steel (known to hunt or dissect them for research) loiter close in Yuma. It is yet to be seen just how many of them are out there, or if more are bound to join the fray of outcasts in the region. Whatever the case may be, one thing is certain. What was once considered myth is now a complicated reality of the Wasteland. What separates man from machine? The line blurs with each new arrival.
