Cyborg
Individuals from any species converted into a cybernetic entity. Its highest evolution is to substitute the whole body with exception of the brain.
All modern cyborgs underwent the conversion voluntarily, mostly after having lost complete mobility as individuals.
In the case of Gaian-Humans, some are ex-soldiers from an experimental cybernetic unit deemed inhumane as some might have been pressed to convert.
