Aleerin

Veins of circuitry, woven in the flesh and blood of a totally synthesized body, Aleerin are easily mistaken for humans at a distance or if the lighting is poor. Their hair is consisted of combined protein strands and filaments of cable and wire and even their skeleton is reinforced by strong synthetic materials and protective plating. A true bioorganic being, when first arrived they found themselves being called "Mechalus" by the humans, and the Aleerin don't seem to mind.
Aleerin are slightly heavier than humans, on average, but their builds are less varied. The average aleerin stands approximately 6 feet tall and weighs 175 to 200 pounds. Aleerin tend to have well-proportioned, athletic frames. Their lustrous turquoise eyes are opaque and have no visible pupils.
Aleerins share an affinity for computers and cybertech. While they can easily employ standard computer interfaces, aleerins have the ability to personally connect with computer systems and other technology. Filaments can extend from an aleerin's fingers, snake into a computer, and form a solid link between aleerin and machine. This link gives the Aleerin speed-of-thought access to the computer system, with more precise controls than any manual interface can provide.
Aleerins have ordered minds and tempered emotions. Strong reactions and rash decisions are considered broken thinking and ill-placed to the categorical Aleerin. Only in the most relaxed settings will they show any jubilence or pain.

Computer Link (Ex): As a move action, an Aleerin can link with any computer they can reach, using short filaments that extend from their fingertips. Once the physical link is achieved, the Aleerin can use the computer to accomplish complex computer or cybertech-related tasks more quickly than normal. A task that normally requires 1 or more minutes to complete on the computer takes a full-round action instead, while a task that normally quires 1 or more hours takes 1 minute instead. The DC of the skill check increases by 5, however, as the Aleerin trades caution for expedience.
An Aleerin retains his Dexterity bonus to AC while linked to a computer. Disconnecting from the computer is a free action, and a linked Aleerin who takes an attack action automatically severs the link. The link is also broken the instant the Aleerin can no longer reach the computer.
Cybertech Adaptability (Ex): An Aleerin can have an additional number of cybernetic attachments equal to his level. Improper removal of a cybertech attachment installed on an Aleerin causes 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage.
