Realian
Realians are a species in the Xenosaga series. They are a race of inorganic synthetic humanoids modeled after humans.
Description[edit]
Realian biological composition comes in various forms based on need, from carbon based duplicates of real humans to those based on silicon or liquid metal. Realians are generally incapable of reproduction, [note 1] but models equipped with genitalia for both men and women are known to exist for the purpose of human recreation. [1] As they are living beings, Realians still require basic needs like food and, in turn, are all equipped with digestive organs for processing said food and excretory organs for dispelling waste. [1] The consumption of Realian flesh by humans causes a psychological disorder known as DME addiction. As a result, Realian tissues are trafficked on the black market as a form of narcotics. After the Miltian Conflict, the Miltian Charter was passed, granting Realians the same basic rights as humans. However, certain functions and specifications indicate Realians are still acknowledged as equipment in certain circumstances, such as hidden control switches planted by manufacturers like Vector Industries.
Types[edit]
There are various types of Realians to suit their needs.
- Observational Realians are specially made for detecting and helping to combat the Gnosis.
- Kirschwassers, experimental Realians made to collect data for the 100-Series.
- 100-Series Observational Units, often stationed onboard star-ships.
- Combat Realians are often deployed in various combat situations.
- Weapons-Grade Realians, made and distributed for military operations.
- 27-Series Asuras, an unstable experimental model of Combat Realians with no ability to distinguish friend from foe.
- Enchanced Memory Models are Realians built for storing large amounts of data.
- Transgenic Type Realians are a special type of Realian that were created by the U-TIC Organization to be as human-like as possible.
Notable Realians[edit]
Database[edit]
Episode I
Realian
An artificial human.
A wonder of molecular bioengineering, its biological composition comes in various forms based on need, from carbon based duplicates of real humans to those based on silicon or liquid metal. Many of the Realians onboard the Woglinde were made by Vector, and they are hybrid models with a carbon/ silicon base.
Since the Miltian Conflict, the alteration of a Realian's emotions is no longer allowed. The only exceptions are for Realians in the military or other dangerous occupations, such as terraforming.
Their basic rights equal those of humans and are recognized by law. However, due to the fact that their minds are initialized with a slight bias, all Realians tend to display similar personality traits. This bias is applied not only for the purpose of preventing criminal behavior by Realians, but also in consideration of humans who may feel threatened by their "superiority" (albeit only in certain specialized skills).
Several companies manufacture Realians, but Vector makes the basic program (in other words the central nervous system) of all Realians.
This program is essentially a black box, and any modification beyond regular maintenance and adjustments can only be performed by Vector.
Episode III
Realian
A synthetic human.
Realians are said to be the culmination of molecular bioengineering. Their body makeup ranges from carbon-based and very similar to that of humans to constructions based on silicon and even liquid metal. There is a type for every application.
Legally they were considered equipment, but they possessed intelligence and emotions--which had been suppressed for their role as servants.
Their basic human rights were acknowledged after the Miltian Conflict, however, and--apart from some Realians used for special work or in extreme conditions-- their emotions were no longer deactivated. On the other hand, their manufacturers had fitted them with "emergency control codes" for merchandise control and crisis management purposes.
Many firms are manufacturing Realians, but their critical program--i.e., their central nervous system--is generally produced by Vector. It is a veritable black box, and all maintenance, procedures beyond everyday adjustments, and alterations can only be carried out at Vector's Third Division.
There was a time when Miltia's U-TIC Organization performed a great deal of research and development into specialized Realians. It was during this time that the 100-Series Observational Unit and battle Realians underwent improvement. It appears that various other Realian research took place as well, but most of the associated data was lost during the Miltian Conflict, and no further information is available today.

レアリエン
合成人間。
合成人間。法的には、"備品" 扱いだが、知性も感情も備わっている。労働使役として感情抑制を施されてきたのだが、ミルチア紛争後、特殊作業や過酷な環境下で使用されるレアリエン以外は、感情抑制されず、基本的人権も法的に認められるようになった。その一方で、商品管理や危機管理のために"緊急制御コード"が設定されている。

レアリエン
分子工学の集大成ともいえる存在で、その体組織構造も人間に近い炭素ベースタイプから、珪素や果ては液体金属ベースのタイプまで、その用途に合わせ様々な種類が存在する。
法的には“備品”として扱われるが、知性も感情も備わっており、労働使役として感情抑制を施されてきた。
しかしミルチア紛争後、基本的人権が認められるようになり、特殊作業や過酷な環境下で使用されるレアリエン以外は感情抑制もされることはなくなった。
だがその一方で、企業による商品管理や危機管理の為の“緊急制御コード”が設定されているのも事実である。
レアリエンの製造を行っている企業は多数存在するが、基本的にその基幹プログラム―――つまり、中枢神経系は全てヴェクターのOEMである。
これはブラックボックスとなっておりメンテ、調整の範疇を超えた処置、改造はヴェクター三局でのみ行われる構造となっている。

Notes[edit]
- ↑ According to Xenosaga Episode III's Database, the 100 Series Prototype, MOMO, was created with the intention that she would be transferred from her current body to an adult one with a similar body makeup to that of Transgenic Type Realians. This body was to have a notable affinity with human cells and would potentially be capable of conceiving a child, making her the only known Realian capable of reproduction.
