Metalface production is a taxing and complicated science and requires many resources and skills to achieve successfully. This has limited metalface production to only the high-end profiles that can afford such luxuries. While smaller groups have attempted the procedure (or variations of established procedures) only four profiles have been successful in mastering the science; Baxter Industries?, CyTech Alliance?, Genesis Foundation and Earth Council.
VECTORON
Under the control and direction of a powerful and corrupt corporation, a military science team developed a way to transfer the human soul into a robot body and created a t-bot. The process was soon taken up by Baxter Industries, working together with several other aggressive profiles, and the first batch of t-bots ever created were called Vectorons. Vectorons were formed out of fear and greed with one purpose; war. With intimidating looks, sharp-angled bodies, and an array of deadly weapons, Vectorons were the crowing achievement of military technology.
Those who became vectorons found themselves trapped in senseless bodies with little to no contact with the physical world around them. Held prisoner in their own minds, many went insane and sought death. They became violent and uncontrolled with nothing more than a desire for destruction. However, some vectorons were able to maintain control over their emotions and even find ways to continue to live their lives as normally as they can. But all vectorons fight the most frightening battles in their own minds.
SERVITE
Soon after the Vectorons were declared unstable, the process was handed over to civilian organizations to allow more dedicated scientists to try to improve the results. More care was taken in the preparation of the human subjects as well as drastic changes to the body designs. The results produced Servites, t-bots created for protection and public service. Servites were more human friendly, life-like in appearance, and equipped with a wide selection of tools and weapons needed to protect the population, serve humanity, and ensure freedom for all. With the introduction of the Servites, it was established that the term “t-bot” was demeaning to transferred humans who wished to retain their humanity. The term “Metalface,” which was the name of the first t-bot ever, became an acceptable description and was etched into the public vocabulary.
TEKKER
After the Vectorons took great care to eliminate the remaining military controlling bodies, the process was sought after by every known company, organization, and corporation in the world. In order to ensure positive future use of the metalface transference generator, 7 major construction and material corporations formed the Cybernetic and Technical Allocations Alliance and made the highest bid to secure the process. They used the process, with even more alterations, to create Tekkers, metalface with incredible abilities to repair and create. Not much detail was put into the body designs, but the Tekkers more than made up for it in almost magical abilities to manipulate metal, plastic, glass and other common materials at super-fast speeds.
