Nekos: Optional Race

Artemis Alpeia was in Appleseed from book three on, as well as her three brats, thus proving that the "Neko" was indeed here to stay. Hence, in Universal Centruy 3000, it is allowable to play a feline combat bioroid with a special package of mods in full effect. In UC3K they are the product of bioengineering instead of grafts and implants so they can breed and self-replicate free from bio-engineering facilities and cybernetic clinics.

They are stronger, faster and posses better vision, hearing and smell than a normal human. Being originally designed for combat they are also bit loopy and aggressive. However they can adapt to daily human interaction and need not be played as furry psychotics as they have intelligence equal to a human being, and therefore enough sense to know that if they go around murdering humans all willy-nilly, they will be hunted down like the half-animal they are and terminated with extreme prejudice by chuckle-head rednecks with assault rifles and a vigilante bent.
