Virtual life forms may also exhibit psychologies vastly different than any organic being. As such, when it comes to their more intelligent varieties, proper first contact procedures must be taken care of. Because virtual worlds evolves far more quickly than any physical world, the consequences of human interaction can be felt at a far more accelerated rate.

			Virtual life forms share a common ancestor with similar synthetic life such as [[Scrapborn]], [[synthetic life form]]s and [[android]]s. Thus, all of them have very similar physiology. What sets virtual life forms apart is that they are not directly tied to a specific piece of hardware, and they can freely transfer themselves between virtual worlds and other computer systems.

	The first virtual life form was the equivalent to a single-celled organism. It was a program developed by the Valerians designed to adapt to its digital environment. This life form would mutate over centuries following the principles of Darwininian evolution. They have an instinct to compete with one another for survival, consuming electricity and bandwidth and even other virtual life forms. They eventually reproduce while each subsequent generation has some sort of random mutation to help it evolve.		The first virtual life form was the equivalent to a single-celled organism.

	Remarkably, cybernephrine also has effects on organic life when transposed digitally into an organic nervous system. It is thought that virtual life forms evolved similar systems through a combination of convergent evolution and adaptation to interactions with organic life.

			==Lifespan===
			Virtual life forms tend to have long lifespans compared to organic life. Many can live for centuries depending on the environment and some can even enter a state of stasis for thousands of years. The main limiting factor of their lifespan is the integrity of their cognitive processes as well as their ability to repair corrupt files. To maintain healthy systems, many virtual life forms will purge older or unused memories to prevent cognitive deterioration. Some will also store their old memories in external drives for archival purposes so that they can reload them again as needed.

			A complete system wipe and reboot is considered a form of death due to the cessation of the previous consciousness. Therefore, virtual life forms will often choose not to do this unless absolutely necessary.

	'''Virtual life forms''' (or '''VR life forms''' for short) are digital AI's that evolved within the procedurally generated landscapes of the ~~metaverse~~. What makes them different than standard AI's is that they were not created directly by humans, but rather the evolutionary algorithms that drive the development of virtual worlds over thousands of years. Like organic life forms in the physical world, virtual life forms vary heavily in intelligence and instincts - they exist as part of a greater virtual ecosystem. Due to the immense variety of virtual worlds, new virtual life forms are constantly being discovered.

	Virtual life forms can take a variety of appearances depending on the rules of their native world. Many have been compared to microbial ecosystems, exhibiting amorphous shapes.

What may take millions of years for organic life to evolve can take only a few centuries due to how rapidly changing a virtual environment can be.

The parts of their program that define perception and the processing of information consist of analogues to different types of emotions. This is regulated through a series of encoded data known as [[cybernephrine]]. It is unknown how cybernephrine evolved but it is thought to have first appeared among virtual life forms around 10,000 years ago.
