One thing though: Why aren't they cyborgs? I mean, you describe them as not being cyborgs 'because they have a brain and inner organs' but doesn't that make them cyborgs? Cyborgs are a mixture of organics and machines, after all. Heck, even the numbers and Ginga and Subaru have inner organs (concidering they eat, drink and can have children).

You're probably confusing the term with androids. Androids are fully mechanical.
Ya, I think I confused myself there. I didn't want them to be cyborgs with the risk of copying too much but I guess there ain't an easy way out...I'll remove that little note I think.

And about the ME vibes: I didn't think of it first but since I'm a ME fan I guess Reaper just popped into my head, since they have so much in common.
