History & Background (Dossier)
Sometime around TL-10, many sophont societies develop sophisticated enough computer technologies to begin recording intelligences digitally. The concept of a Infomorph becomes a reality rather than a farfetched fantasy.
The earliest infomorphs were very crude, inaccurate recreations of organic minds. At the same time, artificially created infomorphs also become conceivable. Rumors of "ghosts in the machine" become more widespread, veritable ghost stories of the information age. Today's modern TL-15 infomorphic technology is considerably more sophisticated than those early digitally recorded personalities. True transference of a complete consciousness is still not a perfected science.
Denaar Sophont Species
The Denaar sophont species is well known for its natural ability to transfer their minds from one Denaar body to another. This process is referred to as Metempsychosis.
Zid Rachele
Some have claimed that the infamous Vilani terrorist Zid Rachele of the Rachele Society was actually an infomorph planted in a pseudobiological robot frame. Most regard this as an unlikely conspiracy theory.
The Virus
