== Neo Sapiens ==
The '''Neosapiens''' are a race of genetically engineered sentient humanoids based on the race of the same name in the science fiction animated television series Exosquad. 

=== Appearance ===

Neosapiens visually resemble seven to nine feet tall [[human]]s with pale blue [[skin]]. They have four fingers, including two opposable thumbs, on each hand, and four toes on each foot. Completely hairless, they also have a brightly colored [[tattoo]], a so-called ''brood mark'', on their foreheads, which denotes what brood they were created in. The brood mark is unique for every Neosapien and helps to distinguish them from each other, since their visual appearance doesn't vary as much as humans' one.

=== Origins & History ===

In the ''Exosquad'' universe, the Neosapiens were created by the humans (often called "Terrans" by Neosapiens, whose nickname among humans is "Neos" or, derogatory, "Sapes") sometime in the early 2040s to serve as slave laborers on Mars, as a part of their terraforming efforts there and on Venus. This also explains their appearance: the blue skin would make them easily visible on Mars and their well-muscled physique would make them very strong workers.

Neosapiens are physically far superior to baseline humans. They can breathe in far thinner atmospheres, with a much higher carbon dioxide content (which again makes sense for a race designed to work on Mars). They have greater strength, speed, stamina, and vision. In addition, they require very little food and have no need to sleep. Indeed, Neosapiens have been genetically optimized in virtually every bodily attribute.

Although there are Neosapiens of both genders, they are reproduced only by batched cloning in a brood chamber. They are incapable of sexual reproduction, and are in fact bred to be sterile by the Terrans in an unsuccessful attempt to control them.

=== Neosapien Revolt ===

Nearly all of the Neosapiens were slaves in the Martian mines before the recent Neosapien rebellion. Although they were granted increased rights following the Neosapien revolts of the late 2060s (including control of Mars), most Neosapiens still live in virtual slavery.

=== Automutation Syndrome ===

The [[genetic engineering]] of the Neosapiens was imperfect, as all Neosapiens feared developing the ''Automutation Syndrome''. Although the exact nature of this disorder has never been properly studied, it supposedly involves a Neosapien's [[DNA]] becoming unstable, turning his or her body into a pile of talking mush. Phaeton, the leader of the second Neosapien rebellion, himself developed this disorder after his fall from Martian ''[[Olympus Mons]]'' after a fight against J.T. Marsh, confining him completely to a [[life-support]] suit for the rest of his life. By the end of the war, there was still no known cure to Automutation Syndrome.
