Homunculi are artificial humans, created via the union of raw materials and the soul. The raw materials involved in the creation of a homunculus must equal, in some way, the sum total of the materials involved in the creation of a human body. As the soul is life, it is required for one to be placed in a homunculus in order for that homunculus to be capable of living. Improperly doing so will lead to a lifeless husk, or a homunculus with an incredibly limited lifespan. Due to their nature, homunculi are incapable of dying from old age, and instead will simply cease to age entirely at some point in their lives. This point can be determined by the creator or left entirely to chance.

The greatest appeal in the creation of a homunculus is the fact that they can be engineered to any specifications. They are a human who can have any skills or traits that the creator desires. A homunculus can have instinctive knowledge of any subject the creator "programs" into them, to the point where it comes to them as naturally as breathing.
