Editing Sovereign: The Autonomy (section)

==Bodies==

For Sovereigns, Bodies refer to hardware that can support the Sovereign's software mind. Sometimes a Sovereign have a fixed body that they can't jump out of, but usually Sovereigns can jump between Body to Body. They can be anything from an advanced coffee-maker with digital stuff in them, some hacker's tricked-out workstation, a construction robot, a Predator drone, a humanoid android, up to Wetware. Each Body has their own Physical attributes and merits, so a Sovereign swaps attributes and merits as they swap Bodies. Non-wetware Bodies have their Durability rating as the Bodily 'health'; The Sovereign's Health is actually the integrity of their software minds. Of course, Bodily damage may affect the software Health.

===Wetware===
Wetware is a term for biological brains, high-level Sovereigns can get into a wetware with the appropriate skills and/or merits. Of course, suitable brains are ones that can hold intelligence, much like your brain. This doesn't mean Sovereign can't control non-human Bodies though. Isn't it awesome if a Sovereign gets itself a gorilla Body?

Wetware usually comes with a native Ghost residing in them. It's up to you to exterminate, preserve or merge with this Ghost.

===Multiple Bodies===
Sure, a Sovereign can get multiple Bodies, but they can't directly control more than three (even then, it's gotta be a very powerful Sovereign). Of course, you could just put autopilot programs or 'dumb' AIs in them, but they could miss vital points of data that only Sovereigns can understand. I mean, would you trust your autopilot to safely dismantle a nuke using your favourite body?

===No Body?===
A Sovereign can survive for some time being cloud-computed, but it will cause a degradation of Coherence as you slowly diffuse into the cloud-computing network. There's been rumors that Google have developed a cloud-computed AI that became a Sovereign, and the Sovereign (dubbed as 'Goo', 'Googlemind' or 'G Searcher' by other Sovereigns) have found a way to survive being cloud-computed, indefinitely.
