Architect Body

The complete physical Architect vessel is a biotechnology and cybernetic hybrid, incorporating design elements from more than twenty DNA sources.

Skin: The outer layer of tissue has the consistency of leather. The tissue is interlaced with channels of visibly glowing energy, powered by the alien’s internal biotechnological heart.

Robotic arms: Al-an has six articulated arms that are suspended around his body by magnetic levitation. These arms contain independent high speed computing systems and are capable of performing tasks independently.

Limbs: The organic arms are considered secondary to the inorganic robotic arms. These are used for mundane tasks that don't require much fine motor movement. The bottom half of the arms are covered in a biocomposite plating. The plating might serve as a form of armor. It also appears to store latent energy buildups like capacitors.

Mobility: The hooved legs are reminiscent of several species of mountain goats. The hooves are covered in microscopic hooks that aid in exploring rough and uneven terrain. The forelegs and the hindlegs are oddly close together, which explains why walking might be a secondary mode of movement for this Architect form.

Teleportation: This Architect body is able to teleport or “blink” short distances. The method is likely a scaled down version of the teleportation gates, but the methodology is not well understood. It is likely that Architect’s body is able to provide the massive amount of power necessary for this function.

Matching DNA fragments appear to be derived from the following sources: - Chromium Boar of Caltwale Prime. An invasive species known for their extremely tough skin, which makes them hard to eradicate. - Putty Serpent of Apostikar. This snake has extremely tensile skin. Prevents it from tearing and allows it to compress itself into small spaces. - Electrode Eel of Lithton. Generates an electrically charged slime across its length. - Astral Rays. Moons of Mardon-14. These rays have small organs that generate and store electricity. - Shaggy Goats of Olympion. These herbivorous creatures live on the rocky foothills of the mountain planet Olympion and are excellent climbers. - Giant Geckos of Holt’s Asteroid. Massive geckos that emit an electrostatic charge on its foot pads. This creates a charge difference in the surface the gecko is climbing.

The markers of at least a dozen other biological species are present, but unrecognized at this time.
