"The Krae"
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
[SIZE=9pt]Intent: A unique type of machine used by the Vran’Ti to help deal with illnesses, damaged bodies, and to alter biological forms.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Image Source: [/SIZE]Link
[SIZE=9pt]Canon Link: N/A[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Primary Source: N/A[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Manufacturer: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Vran'Ti[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt], (common on the planet for medical purposes, used in military)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Affiliation: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]The Corporate Protectorate[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt], [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Vran'Ti[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt], Open Market.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Model: Biological Molecular Reconfiguration Device (BIO-MED)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Modularity:Materials used can be swapped and configurations can be altered easily but the design itself generally remains the same.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Reconfiguration for new forms is restricted to Vran’Ti approved devices.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Production: Mass Produced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Material: Iron, Titanium, Obsidian, Steel, medical parts and pieces. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Study: The very first aspect of the BIOMED’s performance is that it preforms an atomic scan on it’s subject using a variation of techniques. This is done within a multi sided container where it studies energy, matter, gravitational pull, structure, etc. Usually this container is a fairly large tube on its side, but some versions have smaller pieces which may only fit arms, heads, or even just a hands worth at a time. This study examines what is inside on an immensely detailed rate for a period of time to ensure it understands it. It may request further information such as movements, thinking, or swallowing.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Reassessment: BIOMED then reassesses the data with or without the subject in the container, running it over until it has a fully comprehensive understanding of the organism.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Sterilization: BIOMED removes all unwanted materials and bodies before beginning any operation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Medical procedure: If the BIOMED is told to preform a medical procedure it must be told what type, or be told to preform a complete biological medical repair. In either case, it again accesses it’s data. Providing the user and (optionally) the subject with the information and what it will preform in a quick fashion. It will then began to preform this, using lasers, obsidian blades, a miniscule type of tractor beam designed to move molecules, limbs, electrical stimulus, and (depending on necessity) may make use of variation herbs, drugs, or chemicals to further assist the work. Naturally many times it uses a pain killer of sorts, however this is optional. The repair usually results in the machine opening up the subject of repair in a safe manner (though which perhaps would appear gruesome to other species) saving the blood that falls for reinsertion if it is not contaminated. This work allows the machine to open up an entire arm in order to take a broken bone and reseal it together by enhancing bone growth temporarily then sealing it up on a molecular level. It can work to remove virus’s, tumors, and other things. And enhances the body to withstand the difficulty of some procedures. It’s design is to make the body as perfect as it can be, and as a result has immense data on its subjects species, but especially Vran physiology.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The brain: The BIOMED will especially study brain and nervous system like aspects. So as to better make certain they are compatible with the finished body.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Reconfiguration (restricted to approved devices): The BIOMED can actually take a subject and completely alter it’s being to a new form. This takes their existing matter, and often adds new organic matter that can be grown in the machine, which it then alters to fit the necessary requirements. This allows it to actually change a beings species to considerable extents, grant it different aspects, erase memories, add memories, or even connect two living beings together in full unison physically and intellectually.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Species conversion: When a BIOMED is told to preform an operation to change something into a new species it has to run through a considerable amount of data, studying both the subject, and intended conversion species. Changing, for instance, a human to a Chiss, is an incredibly easy operation. Changing human to a Twi’lek would be considered easy as well, but more time consuming as it requires additional organs. Whereas vice versa a Twi’lek to a human is slightly more difficult, but is actually preformed more swiftly. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Extreme species conversion: More extreme species conversions like wookie to jawa or vice versa can be far more difficult if[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] it has to retain the memories and intellectual abilities of the species. Jawa to wookie can be done easily, but requires plenty of organic matter to add on. But converting a wookies brain into something that can fit inside a Jawa can be more difficult and as a result requires considerably more time and study. Likewise, a human to a trandoshan and vice versa is also difficult (though to a lesser extent), as they have very different full body functions.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Invented alterations: sometimes alterations are not things that it has studied before, for instance, trying to grant a human a new type of blood which was only just invented, may be far more difficult. It can however, be done. But it requires considerable work from the user, as the machine can only operate off of information it already has, and information it can study, and not invent a species of its own.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Studies it’s subjects in depth[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Has an in depth comprehensive understanding of Vran’ti species, Human, and common galactic species physiology, but may require further information on rare or unique species.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can fix the vast majority of physical injuries and ailments by in-depth procedures done on molecular levels, leaving functionally no scarring.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can carry organic matter which it can alter according to the needs of its patients.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]May supply certain chemicals, pain killers, drugs, etc, according to what is needed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can be used to alter a species to have completely new aspects, possibly as a completely new species.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can change a subject from one species to another.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can be used to add or erase memories[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can be used to conjoin or seperate beings.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Requires information on both the primary subject and the species involved (both if it is a species conversion)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can not create a species on its own, must rely on a scientist for new species.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Is not able to be weaponized as it requires far too much time and cannot preform its operations mid battle, meaning it could not be used for on the go shapeshifting.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can leave it’s subjects exhausted afterwards, usually requiring rest for the configurations to settle properly. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Requires organic matter to add onto a creature, and thus must have been running prior to operation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Requires energy in order to run it, usually needing to be stationairy.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Depending on it’s size depends on what all it can do, if it is only big enough to put an arm inside, it can only alter and study that arm. As a result,hard detail work on a limb is ill advised unless it has had considerable information from that individual (sometimes obtained from another BIOMED).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Invented officially in around 450 ABY, the biological molecular reconfiguration device, or BIOMED, was actually not made for the Vran themselves, but so that they didn’t have to send doctors outside of their planet in order to profit off of their medical knowledge. However, the success of the devices creation spiked it’s use within many of the more moderately or larger cities due to it’s sheer convenience. The device soon saw use within many of the transport ships used for Vran’Ti. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Using multiple types of tools and devices the BIOMEDS are able to open up a subject of operation, remove what is foriegn or unwanted, or correct damage or malforming, and then seal it all up again properly. Using chemicals, drugs, or anesthetics, depending on necessity, to enhance or decrease growth of something, stimulate body, etc. The BIOMED has a type of intelligence which wouldn’t be called AI, but is certainly very sophisticated, and has immense medical knowledge and understanding.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]It scans subjects, analysis, and then operates to achieve the goal it’s told. Ranging from brain wiping to full on species conversion, a BIOMED can preform large number of useful techniques which make it a doctors greatest assistant.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Of course there are some issues, mainly revolving around how BIOMEDS (especially off world) tend to be pricey and may be difficult to find. They also require the proper machine in order to preform the scanning and operating, so if not bought at a sufficient size, may be incapable of many aspects.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]BIOMEDS are also heard to be somewhat popular amongst the aging and beauty obsessed for its ability to imprint new tissue and stimulate old tissue, allowing one to remain a picture of perfect health.[/SIZE]
