* OverlyLongName

to:

* OverlyLongNameOverlyLongName: Survivor names, when translated, are a sentence describing some abstract concept or a specific event followed by a number. Given their electronic communication and high bandwidth this is a lot less awkward for them, but in general they use a shorthand when dealing with organics.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: A key element of Survivor psychology is that every single one is smart enough to ''know they're not infallible.'' They thus find seeking authority over others its own sake generally counterproductive. This is not to say they are obligate anarchists; they are fully capable of operating hierarchically when it suits them as well delegating tasks, but they do so because the situation warrants it and are quite satisfied when a more ad hoc system is sufficient -- thus sparing their attention for other tasks.

* TheNeedless: They neither eat nor drink. All they require is electricity -- and each one carries a 84MJ power cell.




to:

* TheStoic: A racial trait. When organics are stressed, they have adrenaline surges. When Survivors are stressed, they ''overclock'' -- meaning they ''concentrate.'' More often than not, they consult every other Survivor in [[ComputersAreFast computer-time]] before making a decision in such situations.

* MechanicalLifeforms

to:

* MechanicalLifeformsElectronicTelepathy: Every Survivor has a multi-''terabaud'' wireless communication system. Its primary use is to communicate amongst themselves, but one of the first inventions they worked to develop was ''radios.''
* GoodWithNumbers: How good? Throw some change on a table and the average adult human can subconsciously count up to five without starting at one. Ask a Survivor what "58,321 x 25,831" is, and they will just as quickly answer ''"1,506,489,751."''
* MechanicalLifeforms: The humanoid forms their subjects have become familiar with are merely shells. Their true form is that of twenty-kilogram cubes with more processing power than a 21st-century nation.
