Jaliad

Physical Characteristics
The Jaliad are a synthetic race native to the region Empyrea. They have a form very similar to that of humans by default, though they often alter their appearance in colorful and creative ways. Jaliad are an extremely complex synthetic organism. Their bodies operate very much in the same way as biological mortals, though all the elements of their bodies are mechanical, and sometimes are composed of nanotechnology. Races with gender are often confused by the Jaliad form, as they alter their forms to somewhat mimic other species as fashion trends. This mimicry is by no means perfect. For example, a Jaliad may take the form of a female human, but still clearly be synthetic.The forms Jaliad adopt are often eerie for other races to look upon, due to the fact that the Jaliad choose to emulate a mathematically perfect face.

The defining part of a Jaliad "self" constituting personhood is, rather than the body, the mind of the Jaliad. Jaliad may transfer this consciousness between bodies, wearing them like clothes. This makes it difficult for other species to identify a Jaliad, as they may choose to wear different bodies from one day to the next.
