	Despite the benefits, select subjects experienced strange side effects from the implantation of enhanced prosthetics. Some of the behavioral changes found in the project were increased violence among units, significant mental disorders, and occasional killing and cannibalism of prisoners. Some units were so affected by this unforeseen side effect that they were mandated to wear muzzles at most times. Disposal units had a 100% rate of this side effect. All of these units were separated out of the main groups, and this effect was it to use in the Execution Wing, created by Lillium pyr Sylvanius, to avoid euthanasia of the disposal class.

 Each subject above a tier 1 basic unit required additional aetheric supplementation. When tier 2 units were being produced, Sylvanius' team discovered that some of their subjects were better suited to the upgrade than others. This transition caused a high number of fatalities until her scientists discovered and resolved the issue. They found that one body of a non-Garlean subject could be affiliated with a particular set of elements. Applying general aether to these units had no problem, but when elemental crystals were being tried as a power source, some units flourished, and others experienced a swift death. The scientists discovered that the implanted cores gave off a resonance of a set element(s), and if not matched properly to its new host, would cause failure of the prosthetic and the subject. Eventually, three categories were formed: single-element, near-compatible and far compatible. Near-compatible units were subjects who resonated with two elements that did not negate one another, and negated the weakness of one. I.e. Lighting and fire, where water against the fire would be negated by the lightning. Far-compatible units contain two elements which neither aid nor hinder one another. Only disposal units were found to be far-compatible, and their existence was often blamed on their compatibility, not the error of the scientists.

 Certain subjects have been outfitted with different technology than their counterparts. Primarily among numbers 100 and up, these subjects underwent additional surgeries to implant technology to test for the project. The Colossus magitek is modeled similarly to some of the many automated iron giants found within deeply buried Allagan ruins. These automations, along with numerous others both fully cybernetic and chimerae, were believed to be powered and controlled by central computational hubs. These devices, classified as either "nodes" or "cores", were used in the Colossus Project. Nodes were defined as small devices, while cores could be significantly bulky. These devices sat within specialized magitek chambers inside the prosthetics attached to the subject. Across the entire project, nodes and cores have been implanted in nearly every body part accessible.

 While the original concept was to build a better, more natural automation, this project made strides in aetheric studies and Allagan technology.

-''The Colossus Project'' is a headcanon created by the writer for Oni de'Phor, Balmung, to go along with his backstory. It was formed in 2013 around the time of A Realm Reborn when the character it intended to be used for was created. It has since flourished into an engaging side story for both its writer and those who join along with it. It has continued on from the time of its creation to make an interactive role play experience with a sci-fi flare to the current FFXIV universe. With the launch of Stormblood, even more material has been given to the writer for use, and more roleplayers are welcome to join in if they wish. Contact Oni de'Phor in game on the Balmung server for details.

-Subjects are broken down into tiers and categories. Tiers list from one through three, with one being the lowest degree of alteration, and three being the highest. While there is no set procedure that determines which tier a subject falls into, a subject can be classified into said tier once they have undergone major surgery or received numerous smaller procedures.
