Machina Classes

Machina are sorted into Classes based on their primary role. This is listed after their Category when identifying them, which refers to the stage of development that their body is at. When a human is corrupted into a Machina, the M2 Nanomachines in their body will guide development into a certain Class based on the former-human's traits, such as their physique, their personality, and their cultivated skills. The main Classes are the Assaulter-class, the Attacker-class, the Breeder-class, the Injector-class, and the Supporter-class. Each Class has a significant identifying feature that is central to their role. When a very advanced Category 3 Machina displays more than one of these identifying features, she may be designated as a Hybrid or a Chimera. Category 4 Machina are always Queen-class Machina. Queens will often retain the identifying features of their former Class. It is common for a Queen to have identifying features from several Classes, due to the requirements for ascension to Category 4.
