The power to be or become an empowered being. Not to be confused by Superpowered Physiology.

Also Called

 * Advanced/Augmented/Enhanced/Empowered Machine Physiology
 * Micromutated Android/Cyborg Physiology (Rational Only)
 * Metamachine/Neomachine/Supermachine Physiology
 * Metarace/Neorace Physiology
 * Modified Machine (Rational Only)

Capabilities
The user either is or can become an empowered machine, which can either be robots, artificial intelligences, cyborgs, androids, etc.

They can be divided into two groups:

Rational
 * Machines of this category gain their powers through evolution, birth, genetic engineering, modification, exposition to radiation or biohazardous substances, like mutagens, or other scientific means.


 * In some ways, certain individuals that are of this classification will may undergo minor physical changes without their physiology being fully or almost gone, like their irises changing to any color like a fiery shade of yellow, red, etc, retractable claws or spikes, fangs or sharp teeth, among others. Moreover, these kinds of beings will be able to possess powers without their physiologies being altered.

Irrational
 * Non-scientific machines gain their powers by being given them, enchantment, blessing, granted wishes, etc., without bio-engineering based alternatives. Unlike scientific-based beings this category of meta-beings wouldn't have to be able to suffer mutations and instability of their DNA, which can be caused in certain specific way. Unlike rational based beings they are more likely to maintain their respective status because they don't share the same genetic unpredictably that rational-based beings are more likely to have.

Limitations

 * Unless they have specific immunities/resistances, users may have the same weaknesses as regular races in particular.
 * Genetic-based abilities may become unstable and cause unwanted mutations. In worse cases, they would may become a monstrous mutant if they aren't treated.

Trivia

 * By definition, the prefix Meta, simply means beyond, which also qualifies to empowered beings that they are races that are beyond the limitations of their kind, which would make them the very staple of their derivative race that they stem from.
 * Depending on the amount of powers they possess, especially regarding resistance/immunity, etc, empowered beings can be much stronger and more powerful than their regular species in the long run. For example, they could survive environments that would be otherwise dangerous to regular races, they can defeat threats that normal races couldn't fight back, and can even handle occupations to a much better intuitive standard, as well as acquiring better skills that normal species could never hope to reach.
