The Andro-Eidos are a synthetic race of android warriors created by Mother Sphere to completely destroy and replace the Human race.

History[]

After the godlike artificial intelligence, Mother Sphere, was created by the scientist Raphael Marks for the purpose of advancing and evolving the human race, she came to the conclusion that humans in their current form were obsolete and that the best course of action would be to replace them with a "new human race" of her own design that would be superior in almost every way. These advanced, biomechanical androids were dubbed the "Andro-Eidos", and their creation marked the beginning of a brutal war with the original humans. With Mother Sphere as a powerful AI capable of overriding humanity's technological weapons, and the Andro-Eidos themselves being formidable combatants, the war left the few human survivors (including Mother Sphere's creator, Raphael) to hide in hidden underground facilities.

Description, Society, and Culture[]

In the Hall of Records in Eidos 7, it is stated via automated recorded messages that at the start of the 22nd century, human life was threatened by advanced global warming. To fulfil her primary directive of ensuring mankind's survival, Mother Sphere (or perhaps Raphael Marks) made advances in biotechnology and nanotechnology to produce the Body Cell, a cybernetic implant that replaces the human heart and made it possible to survive in environments without water or oxygen almost indefinitely, as well as all but erasing the inconveniencies of aging and disease in the human species. One can assume that this was the point in time where the Andro-Eidos were first designed.

After replacing the original human race, the Andro-Eidos succeeded the original human society in every way by building cities, conducting journalism, and having families. In the place of the existing religious systems, Mother Sphere installed herself as a religion for all Andro-Eidos to worship. At the time that the Naytibas first appeared, the Andro-Eidos had subsumed every aspect of human society. However, the resulting war had destroyed their entire structured society except for the Colony in space, and their final city, Xion.

Trivia[]

  • Andro-Eidos come in many forms, some of them look entirely like the original humans while others have significantly overt cybernetic differences. None of the Andro-Eidos seem to notice these differences, or note them as strange. In fact some of their reactions to the notion of organic beings having an absence of cybernetics is bizarre.
  • The word “Andro” comes from the Greek word for “man”, while “Eidos” is a Greek term meaning “form” or “essence”. Thus, Andro-Eidos can be translated, rather fittingly, as “Form of Man”, due to the Andro-Eidos being made in the image of humanity.
  • Most Andro-Eidos seen look almost "stylized" and uncannily flawless in appearance when compared to normal humans like Adam/Raphael Marks, almost as if they had been designed by an AI.
    • This idea is rather accurate as they were, in fact designed by an artificial intelligence to be better in every way to true humans, thus being more aesthetically pleasing.
