Posthuman

A form of metahumanity that differs from baseline humans in that they have been augmented through the use of cybernetics or genetic manipulation. They are commonly considered, feared to be, or believe themselves to be the next stage in human evolution, albeit from a artificial technological adaptation rather than random genetic chance.

Posthumans are only those metahumans which either via some act or via relation to a progenitor's act became something more-than-human. A person who has their genetic code rewritten to become a superman of sorts is a posthuman; this person's children would also be posthuman if they retain the augmentation involved. Those metahumans who are naturally more-than-human, such as the multiple species of Elves, are not posthumans unless they are the result of direct genetic manipulation.

One World Nation Posthumans

The nation of One World Nation is 100% Posthuman since it's founding and because of this considers itself to be the homeland of all Posthumans in the universe. Through a serries of endless Upgrades the baseline humans of OWN have transformed themselves into something completely unique.

The details of what OWN considers the ideal Posthuman Society are in the nation's main article (link above).

In the beginning children are grown in Baby-Tanks and in order to keep the genetic material fresh, interesting, and to ensure some level of random evolution in controlled conditions the nation of OWN is buying up optimal sperm and ovum samples to create the perfect person. Once a child has been grown (time taken in the Baby-Tank is 5 months) the basic Upgrades are added (msucle enchancements and the like).
