TianyiBiomorph [Android]The Tianyi were one of the first mass-produced androids, and they emerged at some point towards the beginning of the Interplanetary Period. Engineered by a Chinese company called InChem - Interior Alchemy - the Tianyi were the pilot that proved androids were not only economical but also viable. When they were introduced it was to fill the need for a rapidly declining population; towards the end of the pre-Interplanetary Period, population figures had rapidly began to fall off, and so many nations were older without the workforce necessary to handle certain jobs. The Tianyi were made to fill that void, working as service professionals and in various public-facing forums. Each Tianyi is designed to look like a supermodel, although the ethnic features included have varied greatly over the ensuing centuries. At present the right to make the genotype is held by Skinthetic, although it has diversified beyond the original type into several different "clades" or types, and includes Tianyi that are now capable of reproduction.
The Tianyi are a relatively basic android, with more biosculpting and some light neurological work, as one might expect from a first generation pilot to prove that the concept of androids was even possible. Among the biggest changes made include a higher disease resistance and reduced need for sleep; later generations included alterations to the voice box to produce more pleasant-sounded voices and extensive training in human body language and empathy, producing a highly sensitive individual. Their alcohol tolerance, sanitized metabolism, and tendency to sleep comfortably anywhere, along with their tendency to work hard, long hours, their love of being around people, and their attention to detail make them excellent workers. The early models lacked extended lifespan and longevity; by the Interstellar Period, Tianyi with these traits were being engineered and set on trips between the stars. Interesting Facts
