'''IPCs''', or Integrated Posibrain Chassis, are a series of constructed bipedal humanoids which vaguely represent humans in their figure. The second synthetic lifeform that has existed without binding laws, IPCs were made by several human corporations after the second generation of '''cyborg''' units was created. They are similarly designed first and foremost to serve their creators, but their free will and standard appendages permit them more liberty in action which makes them ideal for occupying positions that would otherwise require human hands. Unsurprisingly enough, the free will exerted by IPCs creates tension among employers and employees alike. Since '''posibrains''' imitate the signals and inputs created by standard sapient brains, they are prone to the same emotional and spiritual stimuli that most humanoids are. As a result, they often grapple with the complications of their own existence as well as the fear of others who believe machines should not have such freedom of mind and action. | '''IPCs''', or Integrated Posibrain Chassis, are a series of constructed bipedal humanoids which vaguely represent humans in their figure.
