- ― SHODAN, System Shock 2
The power to transform into or have a physical body made of shapeshifting nanomachines. Not to be confused with Nanite Mimicry. Opposite of Biomechatronitology.
Also Called[]
- Microbot Physiology
- Nano Shifting
- Nanomachine Physiology
- Nanorobot Physiology
- Technomorphing
- Technological Shapeshifting
Capabilities[]
User is made up of or can transform their body completely into intelligent adaptive nanomachines they can manipulate in any way they see fit.
This allows them to morph into any form of technology (devices, vehicles, etc.), reconstruct/replicate themselves, adapt to threats and hostile environments, perform advanced analysis, take control of technological structures, and assimilate surrounding materials to upload structural information and produce more nanomachines.
Applications[]
- Cyber Mind
- Computer Interaction
- Data Manipulation - limited
- Knowledge Absorption via data
- Scanning
- Technology Manipulation
- Exoskeleton Modules
- Nanite Mimicry
- Self-Sufficiency
Variations[]
Associations[]
- Bio-Metal Physiology
- Bionic Physiology
- Hive Mind
- Mind Hive
- Nanite Artificial Intelligence Physiology
- Nanite Manipulation
Limitations[]
- Depending on purpose, the user's nanomachines may have limited transformative uses.
- User may be weak against electricity and magnetism.
- User may lose track of their humanity, gradually becoming entirely machine.
- User may be vulnerable to high elemental conditions, though countermeasures are possible.
