Cyclone Avians, or just Cyclones, are the oldest variety of transgenic humans, characterized by their six limbs, tails, and peculiar body proportions. They were developed in the Tarrukar Empire many decades ago, with the goal to design a flighted soldier inspired by the empire’s cultural and religious background (despite the supposed secular rule of the government). Cyclones have intelligence on par with organic humans, though their place in hierarchy is very different. Rigid schooling and decades of societal structures have made it normal and expected for Cyclones to be subservient, usually in roles as Wardens (equivalent to police officers), soldiers, or very rarely as private security for especially wealthy investors. In general, public opinion of Cyclones is very favourable within Tarrukar, as there are many safety nets that have guaranteed trust in the government’s handling of their weapons. However, a fact that the empire attempts to cover up is the prevalence of Strays, transgenic humans that have deserted their roles and still haven't been tracked down. Stray Cyclones are a very rare occurrence, but still, it's a matter that happens. Cyclones are scarcely seen abroad, so foreign opinion is more bleak. Outside of the empire, these Avians are shrouded in rumor and misinformation, a strategy that Tarrukar leans into as it boosts its image as an unbeatable foe. Cyclone soldiers sent on international operations are usually treated as androids at best, but as feral animals most often. Avians and the story they belong to is still a work in process, so anything stated may change in the future. Some extra disorganized notes after the cut:

Height ranges 140-175cm (4'7 - 5'9), the average is around 160cm (5'3).

Cyclones can only take off from high places. This makes climbing skills very important, and they will actively avoid landing in wide open spaces (e.g. deserts) as they risk not being able to get airborne again.

Their heads and eyebrows are covered in soft feathers without barbules, similar to kiwi birds. They can't grow mammalian hair. These feathers can be straight, wavy or curly, but it doesn't get as curly or as straight as human hair can. (Feather texture range roughly translates to 2a - 3c hair)

Feather patterns are very diverse, usually randomly generated out of a trait pool. Some Cyclones may sport designs inspired by existing animals, like organic birds or insects, but these are rare.

Cyclone sight is very potent, they can see in the UV spectrum and the magnetic field. There's an asymmetry in their eyeballs that allow better focus in flight, but it does make them near-sighted on the lower part of their vision.

Sharp sense of smell, so they can detect pheromones. Because of this, they can somewhat gauge the emotions of other people, though it requires training.

Cyclones are 100% sterile. They cannot reproduce at all. While both male and female Cyclones are produced (mostly for the sake of public opinion), biologically both sexes are similar in hormone levels, being fairly high in testosterone.

With the combined efforts of their strong immune system, their highly acidic digestive track, and blazing quick metabolism, Cyclones are very resistant against disease, drugs and poison.

Even though they are an older species, their lifespan and health is still poorly understood. It's estimated they could live around 50 years, but most Cyclones have a shortened lifespan as they don't receive proper treatment.

So Insel's lab made a transgenic mouse with this expanded promoter and it grew up with a brain like a prairie vole, expressing vasopressin receptors in all the same places, though it did not form a pair bond.

Plant-based symbiotic sensory enhancement, biopunk-style future GMO and alt-Amazon vegetech respectively. The latter is probably trickle-down technology from the Inca biolords as per New World Order

As shown in Figure 24.16, transgenic plants that overexpress IPT, the gene encoding the enzyme isopentenyl transferase (the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in cytokinin synthesis), exhibit enhanced drought tolerance compared with wild-type plants.
