[edit] Physical characteristics

But you need not fear. Cybermen will remove fear. Cybermen will remove sex and class and colour and creed. You will become identical. You will become like us. ~Cyber leader

The Cybermen are humanoid, but have been cybernetically augmented to the point where they have few remaining organic parts. Their bodies were entirely covered up in their metallic suits. As they are relatively few in number, the Cybermen tend towards covert activity, scheming from hiding and using human pawns or robots to act in their place until they need to appear. They also seek to increase their numbers by converting others into Cybermen (a process known as "cyber-conversion").

Most are usually constructed from human brains bonded to a Cyberman exoskeletal shell with an artificially grown nervous system threaded throughout although direct grafting of cyber-components is another method of conversion.

Although the Cybermen often claim that they have done away with human emotion, they have exhibited emotions ranging from anger to smug satisfaction in their confrontations.

This motive behind the removal of emotions where it is done by means of an emotional inhibitor. The deactivation of their emotional inhibitors drives the converted Cybermen insane when they realise what they have become, killing them.

Some Cybermen are given titles, being credited as "Cyber Leader" (or variants thereof), "Cyber Lieutenant", "Cyber Scout" or the "Cyber Controller". The Cyber Controller in particular has appeared in multiple forms, both humanoid and as an immobile computer, and has also been referred to as the "Cyber Planner" or "Cyber Director".

Some who join the Cyber empire Willingly are allowed to keep some of there emotions and only undergo a small conversation process, most of these either become Spies or cyber scouts.

Cybermen electrocute their victims by touching them. They are equipped with retractable energy weapons housed within their forearms They also use modified human weapons such as rifles or heavy arms.

Most of the Cybermen where liberated by the BSHU after Faction IX destoried the central hub.

[edit] Ideals

The next level of mankind. We are human-point-2. Every citizen will receive a free upgrade. You will become like us.

The Cybermen believe emotion and differences to be the cause of all chaos in the universe, and that removing emotions and upgrading into Cybermen would create a new age for the world. They force everyone to conform to there ways under pain of death, also known as deletion.

You are inferior. Man will be reborn as Cyberman, but you will perish under maximum deletion. Delete! Delete! Delete! Delete!
