This is an umbrella category for all characters created or altered in an artificial way. All characters in this category must meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Were formerly in the retired Scienceborn category or any of its subcategories.
• Were created artificially through either animus or lab-related occurrences.
• Were genetically altered in some way by an outside source. This does include characters who were permanently genetically altered in some way later in life.
• If the alteration is reversible (such as a curse that can be broken), the character should not be put in this category.
