Thank ya very much dude! ^^

From the way I think of things, I imagine the Asari USED to be physical beings that evolved naturally on Thessia. Beings who looked wildly different back then, on account of actually being organic. But perhaps, with intervention from the hyper-advanced Protheans in the form of gifts from the "goddess" Athane, the Asari had actually breached a level of sapience. Essentially ascending higher than their other neighbors.

Asari had become an entire species of uplifted synanotechnological beings (i.e. a perfect synchronization between "wetware" and inorganic nanotech) infused with an Element Zero core that holds them together. More specifically, they're a kind of dense "utility fog". A cloud of nanites that can exert force on their surrounding environment, giving them solidity just like a wholly organic being, but a fluidity and versatility in form that can't have evolved naturally.

Asari DO use a perception filter to make themselves appear like the opposite of any given species. And they DO use Mind-Melding to explore the positive physical and personality traits of a given partner, and use it to help them better randomize their offspring's traits. But they can do this with so many species because they're made of self-replicating nanites, that can use material from all around themselves to create a new Asari individual. That which starts off smaller, weaker and less intelligent than the parent, but grows up by assimilating more material (i.e. by eating and drinking), by using gained resources to continuously "upgrade" its functional parts, and learn more about the world around them, by Mind-Melding or directly downloading information into their minds from computers.

TL;DR Version: Asari are made of self-replicating bio-nanites that use Eezo cores to hold themselves together.
