It is interesting to note that the only being [[Konoko]] ever cared for, plotwise (with the near-exception of Kerr), is : a) not really human, technically; b) basically a part of Mai herself. | It is interesting to note that the only being [[Konoko]] ever cared for, plotwise (with the near-exception of Kerr), is : a) not really human, technically; b) basically a part of Mai herself. | ||

An SLD's body is made of synthetic tissue about as complex as that which makes up the human body. The brain's complexity, in particular, is remarkable. For all we see, androids (electronic brains) only serve as work force in Oni, while the ''thinking'' is left to human-like brains (humans, Deadly Brains, and SLDs). | |||
It's important to note that an SLD's brain and body are biological (as opposed to androids, SLDs are ''grown'', not ''built''), and that their brain is not physically "donated" by a human (as is the case for a Deadly Brain or a cyborg). | It's important to note that an SLD's brain and body are biological (as opposed to androids, SLDs are ''grown'', not ''built''), and that their brain is not physically "donated" by a human (as is the case for a Deadly Brain or a cyborg). | ||
SLDs ''are'' standalone biological lifeforms. Modeled after Man, but with no human parts. Engineered to a large extent, but still wholesome individuals rather than results of a series of patches and upgrades. | SLDs ''are'' standalone biological lifeforms.
