In general outlook they are very similar to [[:Terran|Terrans]], and integrate well in small numbers with other Ascendancy species.

| Corpori view their nanite swarms they control as an extension of their being, rather than the single-use, effectively disposable servants that the Factions and [[:Megacorps]] treat their nanites as. The [[:Nanodeck]], the primary access point to their swarm, is treated almost as an organ of their body. Most Corpori will only disable or remove their Nanodeck reluctantly, and feel exposed when it has been damaged in combat. Many Corpori will use their nanites, rather than their hands, in order to interact with their environment, highlighting their particular species’ unique traits. Combined with their tendency to block out and alter audio-visual sensations, and their responses to the perceptual ghosts that only they experience can leave members of other species feeling uncomfortable in their presence. | Corpori view their nanite swarms they control as an extension of their being, rather than the single-use, effectively disposable servants that the Factions and [[:Megacorps]] treat their nanites as.

| All Corpori bear a Nanodeck about their person, and are rarely willing to be separated from it. The nanodeck controls and sustains the swarm of invisible nanites that surround each Corpori, and is usually interfaced with by hand via a touchscreen or keypad. Nanodecks are small devices that can take many forms, but are have a few common elements. When in use they are always connected to the Corpori’s body in some way, usually by a socketed tube that can be unplugged when convenient. They always emit light along a few key wavelengths - this light acts as an information carrier and a locator for the nanite swarms, issuing commands and allowing them to return to the Nanodeck for repair and recharge. Nanodecks usually have a function to disable their emitted light for stealth purposes, although the nanite swarm cannot be used while the light is disabled. In some nanodecks that light source is a separate module that is connected to the main body of the nanodeck, and is usually mounted on a belt or elsewhere on the Corpori user’s body. | All Corpori bear a Nanodeck about their person, and are rarely willing to be separated from it.

| + | * Deep blue skin, with a purple/pinkish streak across the eye sockets and temples (a purple “beastkin stripe”). | ||
| + | * (Optional) Wispy, flare-like structures coming out of the purple/pinkish stripe across the face. These wisps tend to be more prominent in powerful nanomages. | ||
| + | * All Corpori characters have a [[:Nanodeck]] to use their nanomage abilities with. A nanodeck must be at least the size of a few slices of loaf bread, emit some light and be connected to the character’s body in some way (by wires, tubes, etc). A Nanodeck is a lammied item that uses [[:game items#Charges]], so ideally your physrep will have space to attach those. | ||

The Nanodeck is a device that allows a Corpori to spend Charges to generate ranged [[:calls_effects#Calls]] and other effects depending on the [[:Corpori Species Skills]] that they have purchased. The Nanodeck must be attached to their body to be used. To mod a Nanodeck, an Engineer must have at least 1 rank of the [[:professional skills#Corporeal Science skill]]. | + | * All Corpori begin play with a [[:Nanodeck]], which is a lammied Device that can be [[:calls_effects#sunder|SUNDERed]].
