Replica

Replicas is a series of robots present within Sockscraft 2. They are a combination of two parts, a Unit and a Core, that are built to mimic a human. The first Replica to be seen on Sockscraft was Stun, and they are often related to each other.

Appearance
The bodies for Replicas, referred to as the Unit, are built to mimic a human and often come across as just that. Some have different features, such as Stun and Star having a pair of antlers. The actual construction of a Replica's body is made up a variety of metals, polyesters, and concentrated stardust from the Lower Core. The internals of Units are mostly mechanical, being made up of many, precisely made and concentrated moving gears and pistons. The Core of a Replica represents its soul. Like parts of the Unit, Cores are also made from metal and concentrated stardust, making them Radiant Souls. In one case, with Fallout, some Cores can be Voided Souls rather than Radiant Souls.

Bio
Replicas are built by Dead Hand, a group specializing in mechanical research and development. The group is formerly known as Autudere Group, after the now-passed Autudere. The actual Core of each Replica is not exclusive to each Unit, and can be swapped between different Units when needed. In one scenario, both Stun and Fallout resided in one Core following an incident within the Void. However, a Unit requires a Core to function, and a Core requires a Unit to operate.

Units are designed to only operate with Cores, and can not accept standard souls. However, Kent Ver 'e Koleko operates without having an official Core installed, eluding to The Source either replicating a Core, or taking over control of the Unit's mechanisms.

Units have some procedures in place to deal with injuries. The ACU, or Autonomous Control Unit, monitors overall Unit capacity and has baselines in place to warn and send out repair requests when needed. When the ACU itself is at risk of failing, Replicas are instructed to eject their Core and have them placed in the safety of someone who can find them help. Elsewise, the Core would become stuck in the Unit, requiring destructive entry to retrieve.

While the first two Replicas were made officially by Dead Hand and are severely limited in manufacture, most Replicas have been made through a variety of unusual circumstances.
