 Rustic, mysterious and unconventional, [[faction:freespacers:freespacers]] are a nomadic culture adapted to life aboard starships and space factories, unified only by a romance of the endless black expanse, and the cybernetic grafting of mindware technology that individually links each member through a gigantic common cyberspace. Rustic, mysterious and unconventional, [[faction:freespacers:freespacers]] are a nomadic culture adapted to life aboard starships and space factories, unified only by a romance of the endless black expanse, and the cybernetic grafting of mindware technology that individually links each member through a gigantic common cyberspace.

 Each and every member of the race possesses a [[faction:freespacers:mindware|mindware]] implant as a rite of passage, often visible as a small array of direct-imput jacks and sockets at the back of the neck. Many Freespacers take it a lot further than this, and have robotic limbs added to their body for a variety of reasons, such as integrating a weapon or tool used in their job, aiding in zero-gravity movement, or improving their computer hacking abilities to fearsome levels. Those less inclined to remain within Freespacer ships may also have radioactive material implanted directly into their chests, raising their body temperature, powering their other implants, and allowing their symbiotic skin lichens to survive without the specialized environments of their vessels. Each and every member of the race possesses a [[faction:freespacers:mindware|mindware]] implant as a rite of passage, often visible as a small array of direct-imput jacks and sockets at the back of the neck.

 Also called simply 'Syntelligences', they are AI programs that never had a body in the first place. Existing simply as a program which jumps from computer to computer, mindware jack to mindware jack, brain to brain. Some of the largest and most powerful beings in the entire Freespacer race are these types of programs, created to manage resources and defenses on a vast scale. Also called simply 'Syntelligences', they are AI programs that never had a body in the first place.

 Being as they do not require sexual reproduction to survive, male, female, and completely androgynous organics are all relatively common. Automata tend to be neither, but gravitate towards certain tastes if they are raised by an organic caretaker. Being as they do not require sexual reproduction to survive, male, female, and completely androgynous organics are all relatively common.

 Common traits include a distaste of planetary environments, agoraphobia, and having little sense of personal property or exclusive closed relationships with others (like marriage). They live a hard life and see little point in pomposity or self-indulgence, making them extremely welcoming if rather offbeat travelers. Common traits include a distaste of planetary environments, agoraphobia, and having little sense of personal property or exclusive closed relationships with others (like marriage).

-Special thanks goes to [[user:strangelove]] and [[user:missingno]] for coming up with all of the wonderful original concepts that caused me to fall in love with this race in the first place. It took nearly a year of sitting on this, but I finally decided that a change was needed. I promise I'll do my up most to preserve the spirit, even if I'm leaving some of your more important elements in the background for the sake of remaining untouched...\\ +Special thanks goes to [[user:strangelove]] and [[user:missingno]] for coming up with all of the wonderful original concepts that caused me to fall in love with this race in the first place.
