First appearing in YE 36, Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians are a failed attempted by the Nepleslian Reds to re-develop ID-SOL. While capable of acting as infantry with their enhanced strength, they are currently mostly found in hard labor professions.

Emerging in YE 36, the Raijin marked a fundamental shift in thinking from the Nepleslian Reds. These clones were created were first created as an attempt to recreate the Reds' lost ability to manufacture ID-SOLs. But it was quickly evident by Athena Foundation that the attempt was not going to work due to the lack of the super-Y chromosome within the surviving Nepleslian Reds. But despite falling far from the impressive strengths of ID-Sol, the newly dubbed Raijin Type achieved a level of fitness that takes the average Nepleslian years to perfect and maintain.

With this in mind, the foundation saw them as the ideal response to a growing need for the specialized skills and abilities required in the civilian sector they were responsible for cultivating while also keeping their military ambitions in mind. Filling the role as laborers of the population, the Raijin is considered a Generation 2 clone where clone development has a focus on quality and specialization rather than sheer numbers the Reds once thought was key to winning.

Raijin are massive individuals compared to the average Nepleslian due to their origins. Lacking the super-Y chromosome common for Nepleslians, sexual dimorphism exists within the model type's genetic profile. All Raijin are best described as “Olympian” or “stout like a bull”.

The Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians, also referred to as Leizu when its genetics are appiled to a progenitor line of the Lily Type, boast a range of remarkable physical and cognitive genetic enhancements tailored to their roles within the Nepleslian Reds. One of their most notable engineered adaptations is a significantly denser musculoskeletal system. With a combination of upregulating genes related to osteoblast activity (cells that build bone), myogenesis (muscle formation), adjusting the expression of growth factors like IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1), pharmaceuticals, and temporary cybernetics; Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslian's musculoskeletal system is twice the baseline human standard. This remarkable density not only contributes to their overall strength but also enhances their resilience to physical strain and injury. It also grants them increased strength.

In environments with Earth-like gravity (1G), male Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians can lift 2 times their body mass, while their female counterparts can lift 1.75 times their body mass. While they are still significantly weaker compared to ID-SOLs and older models of Nekovalkyrja, this extraordinary capability still positions them as formidable assets in physically demanding situations, whether in combat scenarios or in performing labor-intensive tasks that would be challenging for ordinary humans.

The Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians also feature a stronger heart, which operates at an efficient 42 beats per minute at rest. This adaptation is indicative of their enhanced cardiovascular health, allowing for more efficient blood circulation and oxygenation, which is crucial in high-stress or physically demanding environments.

In terms of mental capabilities, these Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians exhibit slightly enhanced cognitive abilities. While it is not a boost of raw intelligence; Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians have improved problem-solving skills, quicker learning abilities, and a heightened capacity for tactical thinking. These cognitive enhancements are particularly beneficial in complex battlefield situations, where quick thinking and adaptability are paramount.

Lastly, their enhanced musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems grants them greater endurance, allowing them to operate effectively over extended periods without succumbing to fatigue. This endurance is beneficial in prolonged engagements or missions requiring sustained physical and mental effort. The combination of these adaptations makes the Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians an invaluable asset to the Nepleslian Reds, capable of performing at high levels in various demanding situations.

In addition, Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians created within the Fujiko Region receive the Fujiko Regional Adaptation.

Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians typically do not receive cybernetic or nanite augmentations during their manufacturing period.

The Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians, created alongside the Athena and Freya Type Artificial Nepleslians, were initially intended for heavy labor occupations, with a particular focus on industries such as traditional mining. Their robust physical build and enhanced musculoskeletal system make them exceptionally well-suited for tasks that require significant strength and endurance. However, the inherent capabilities imbued in their design extend beyond labor-intensive roles to encompass significant combat applications.

• Heavy Labor and Industrial Work: In the realm of heavy labor, Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians excel in demanding physical tasks. Industries like mining, construction, and large-scale manufacturing benefit greatly from their strength and endurance. They can perform tasks that would be too strenuous or hazardous for average humans, such as lifting heavy machinery, working in extreme conditions, or engaging in prolonged physical labor.
• Combat and Military Applications: Despite their primary design for laborious tasks, Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians possess innate combat capabilities. Their physical enhancements, including their denser musculoskeletal system and increased strength, naturally lend themselves to roles in military operations. They can serve effectively as infantry, capable of carrying heavy gear and withstanding rigorous combat conditions.
• Heavy Weapons Specialists: In addition to standard infantry roles, their strength and resilience make Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians ideal for roles that require handling heavy weaponry. They can operate and transport large weapons systems that would typically require multiple soldiers, providing significant firepower in combat scenarios.
• Frontline Soldiers: In frontline combat, Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians are valuable assets. Their enhanced endurance and strength allow them to endure the physical challenges of direct combat, making them formidable opponents. They can sustain physical activity under duress for extended periods, which is crucial in prolonged engagements.
• Physical Training and Mentoring: In military and civilian training environments, Raijin Type Artificial Nepleslians can also serve as instructors and mentors, particularly in areas that demand physical prowess. Their enhanced capabilities make them excellent role models and trainers for tasks requiring strength and endurance.
