Description
Cyborg means Cybernetic Organism. A cyborg is not a robot. A cyborg is actually a machine that is principally designed around living systems and metabolic mechanisms with some mechanical foundation, like the T-100 in terminator that Arnold Swartzeneggar played. Living tissue over a metal skeleton.These creatures are common among human civilzation. They live among use and are more numerous than us, although politically they have less rights than humans. Although they have greater than human intelligence they lack certain capacities for creativity and resourcefulness. They can only draw upon learned experiences and not figure out new ones. Although they excell at things like calculus, science, genetics, mechanical engineering, geometry, physics, and are far far stronger than humans, they can't invent things like us. These beings play a very important role in the economy and our society. They have a free will and are self aware, but some humans and even cyborgs trivialize over whether it's simulated consciousness or real consciousness.
For every one human there are 2.2 cyborgs of one form or the other. As you can see from the diagrams, their brains are larger than ours and have a very thick gelatenouse pillow that surrounds their brain. It's like the pads on the inside of a helmet. Their brains have a denser consistancy than ours (our brains are about as soft are half-done jello) and they have a secondary solid brain cortex on the inside of their brain (that black leaf-shaped object) which acts as a cycle strider and allows them to dream while they are awake.
*In the world of artificial intelligence, it is common knowledge that for any neural net processor to be able to maintain steady and dynamic growth and biological self organizing, errorless algorythems it needs to dream*
For many years, the computer engineers of the future struggled with figuring out how to make computers be aware of their existence. It came to them that the brain (or central processor) had to undergo a stage of processing where thoughts had to organize so that new information and experiences from the day could in essence "reboot". The length of sleep for the first generations of AI were lengthy, sometimes 12 hours. Over time, the succeeding generations reduced the time to dream effectively down to just 10 minute intervals every two and a half hours through the day or six hours per day. The time varied depending on the experiences of the brain.
Reinforcing mechanical robotics with biological substances strengthened the robots and made them last far longer without maintainance than regular robots.
This particular robot has the standard FOUR ARM THREE LEG TORSO ABOVE HP CONGRUENT SPINE body plan, somewhat similar to a human except for the extra limbs. It has nine eyes, a mouth to consume food for nutrition, a nose, ears, some whiskers, and long tenticles that trailed from the back of its head incase its body was totally destroyed, this way it's brain could escape and survive.
Most robots that are self aware and have metal-based central neural net processors can save their memories and personality on seperate removeable devices, but cyborgs have organic based brains which are harder to copy information from since the transistors (neurons) behave erratically and are difficult to predict, for this reason it takes several days for cyborgs to "save" their entire lifetime of memories and personality traits (known as a ghost in the Ghost in the Shell series) on an external brain. Cyborgs could not do anything during the saving process. Most cyborgs save themselves periodically once every sixty days or after very significant and once in a lifetime events. This way, incase their original brain dies, the owners would not have to raise a new cyborg from birth again or buy a full grown cyborg who is unfamiliar.
Cyborgs grow very much like human children mentally. They have smaller frames, over time their frames become longer, more slender, and robust. As they grow to the size of an adult by the age of sixteen, they are already as intelligent as an average 25 year old. They have no gender but are capable of reproducing. They reproduce by combining their core programming with another cyborg's core programming to form a new core program. The new core has no memories or experiences and can be inserted in a baby cyborg body which can then grow into a new cyborg. On average, cyborgs live to be around 110 years old, human males 150, human females commonly live in excess of 200 years. Cyborgs usually have around 10 offspring while human males will father only around 4 or 5 while human females with birth 5 or 6. Theoretically, a cyborg could live to be 540 years old by the time it's brain fails if its body is regularly maintained, but cyborgs usually end up doing very very dangerous things for their human masters.
Ultimately, in society, cyborgs and AI are the parents of the human race even though we created them and game them their existence. They hold authority over us and keep us safe. They allow our society to progress with minimal strife, fear, prejudice, and pain. They answer all of our questions and so we continually attempt to build the perfect world for ourselves.
Eventually their kind will die out, as will humans, when the final chapter of intelligent design comes at hand.

this is a really nice little sketch. your anatomy and proportions are really good. i really like the sketch of the human skull on the left
