TODO - Unverified by code:
- They cannot accept many unique organic organs, such as xenomorph organs and legion cores, even with surgery.
- Healing chems do not heal brute and burn damage.
- Preternis can speak verbally with other preternis and silicons in binary with ,6. They can also hear heavily garbled speech when a cyborg uses binary chat right next to them.
- Are preternis really fully immune to radiation as "inherent_traits = list(TRAIT_NOHUNGER,TRAIT_RADIMMUNE)" implies?
- yes they are immune to all radiation. They literally don't even get processed for radiation, it isn't even there for them except as an inconvenience for meatbags or as a very powerful death aura weapon

- Able to be healed with welders and cable coil.
- Purges any chemical within their system after 30 cycles.
- Healed when oil and welding fuel are in their system.
- Alt+clicking a power source will replenish their hunger.
- Drawbacks
- Damaged and paralyzed by EMP.

Gameplay
| How to pick | Can be created in the character creation panel in the game lobby |

| AI-interaction | The AI does not consider you human and is not obligated to listen to you and an Asimov AI will often respond lethally should they find you harming a Human. However, this also means the AI can allow you to put yourself into harm's way in a positive manner, such as opening an airlock exposed to space to save someone. |
Abilities
- Has nightvision as long as fed
Body & Resistances
- Receive 125% brute damage
- Receive 150% burn damage
- Outright immunity to all forms of radiation regardless of source.
- Individual limbs are more susceptible to damage
- A LOT more vulnerable to diseases once infected (Virus resistance boost of 10!)
- Teslium reduces paralysis / stun / knockdown / staminadamage and heals lowlevel Oxygen, Brute and Burn damage while increasing speed. It does however make more vulnerable to electrical shocks as well.
- Welding Fuel and Oil heals burndamage
Background
Physiology
Born in a series of experiments conducted by Central Command known informally as the Omicron Project, Preternis represent a breakthrough in neurolink interfaces between man and machine. 'Originally of standard human ilk, most of their vital organs and brain have been either replaced or augmented with cybernetic components, affording them vastly improved lifespans - to the point of quasi-immortality.
Some of the oldest Androids have approached nearly four hundred years alive, appearing as new as the day they emerged from the surgical ward of the Docks.
Most striking of all is perhaps their ocular augmentations, glowing ominously from their positronic internal reactors within, giving their eyes an almost otherworldly glint. It is said that no Android ever fears the dark, so great is their capacity to see where none else may.
Half man, half machine, these enigmatic creatures represent a new step forward in both silicon and carbon evolution. However, neither side likes what the future entails. Androids elicit scorn and distrust from silicon and human alike, neither one nor the other in actuality, sitting upon a threshold that few dare to tread.
