* UncannyValley: Averted, then played with. Synths are very life-like and physically indistinguishable from humans, except that they have bright green colored irises (though the self-aware Synths can hide this with contact lenses). Their movements are very stiff and stilted, however, and most of all their speech patterns are fairly simplistic, so it is actually easy to tell the difference between a normal Synth and a human - it's a ''behavioral'' "uncanny valley", not a physical one. Then this gets played with: the self-aware Synths act so "human" compared to the normal Synths that it is apparently ''very'' unsettling for humans in the story, used to Synths as just appliances. A self-aware Synth quipping a witty insult at them is as startling as if your microwave oven did it. Such as the WhamLine when Niska rebels and leaves the brothel, holding a knife to the female desk clerk and ''angrily'' declaring "Everything your men do to us, they want to do to ''you''" (which is so shocking that the clerk faints).

* CharacterTic: All the synths have a recognisably stiff manner of movement. They tend to walk with squared stomping steps, and often only perform one physical action at a time, rather than chaining actions like humans do (ie the turn their head and then they smile, rather than doing both actions in one movement). This sharp and mechanical form of movement is true even for the conscious synths.
