So recently been playing a tabletop game called Eclipse Phase, that deals with transhumanism. Every human in the solar system has access to mind-upload technology, so they can "sleeve" themselves into whatever body they desire. One week you might be male, the next female, a third week an anthro, and next month you might be a swarm of insect-sized robots that have your consciousness hive-minded between them via high-bandwidth micro-radio.
In this case, Thomas was a scientist, originally born as an AGI Infolife. (Artificial General Intelligence. Think like Data from Star Trek, but programmed to emulate human thought almost perfectly...almost. He still has a few quirks like resorting to gamer speak in stressful situations. "Draw aggro on the boss, avoid his close-range cone attack. I'll move for a backstab!") working on the station Navigational Hazard (Named because people kept crashing into it with minor fender-benders during construction, so they joked that it was a navigational hazard and the name stuck), acting as a kind of body-factory for his fleet. Started as hypercorp property of the corp Mars 12, situated on Mars, obviously, and named after the 12 companies that merged together after the Fall to create it. He ran an educational program that taught transhuman science, how nanomachines worked, how mind-uploading works, ion drives, etc, in an entertaining manner like a sci-fi version of Bill Nye in the form of an Infomorph (A 'morph' made out of data, like an AI meant for use in VR space.) in the shape of a white-furred labrat, named Lab Rat's Wonderful Lab, so the name stuck after he managed to purchase his freedom through proceeds of the show and various AGI-rights donations.
As for abilities, most of them come from various cybernetic implants. For example his brain isn't biological, it's a computer inside his skull that runs his mind via quantum computing. The only biological brain tissue is his actual brain stem along with the hormone-production and monitoring centers to monitor hormones and autonomic signals, which biology does much easier than a computer system. This has several benefits, like being able to speed up his thinking by changing the clock cycles in the computer, or being able to just switch off his sense of pain or smell for a little while. The only obviously-external implant he has is that backpack he's wearing, plugged into a cyberspine that replaced his nerve tissue with fiberoptic cable. It's removable though. Uses nanomachines to construct any kind of tool he could possibly want, but renders it weak to anti-nanite weapons.
Prehensile feet and tail (that lion-tuft tip hides a cybernetic nozzle that goes to his air-bladder, like a built-in hose), which is why his feet have thumbs
He's also got an air-bladder inside him that he fills with lighter than air gasses for use to help his retractable gliding membranes glide further in gravity...Only there's an incident where he ended up inflating himself too much and blocked up one of NH's entire cargo bays, stopping traffic for HOURS, which is why he has an enforced size limit onboard the station.
Hell, due to the fact he's nearly more machine than biological, he can actually survive decapitation and doesn't actually need to breathe, but has lungs anyway simply because the body was genetically engineered and vat-grown from an alien creature and it was easier to just not mess with the DNA regarding lung creation. Fairly easy to take out the genes responsible for brain development so it grew with an empty skull though. So no worries about the organization known as EcoWave bitching about him for lobotomizing an innocent animal, since it never had any actual brain to begin with and was tank-grown with the mind upload tech in mind.
Incidentally enough, he's bioengineered to smell like perfume instead of a stanky, musky animal smell like a wet dog. He's also a fairly avid gamer. To the point the medical monitor implant feeds data into a health-bar that shows up on in his vision Fallout style with each limb having a separate health bar, along with a "spellbook" of various nanoswarms he has access to.
Due to the setting's apprehension of artificial intelligence, he prefers to sleeve himself in bodies considered "cute" by transhumanity, using that cuteness to smooth over and soften (hurr durr fat pun) any issues that might arise later should they learn of his nature. Because of this his morph of choice is quite fat, using that extra tub to raise his cuteness / huggability factor like someone took a child-sized stuffed toy space-rat and brought it to life.
Artist wants to remain anonymous, but will give credit upon request.

Basically, just without the culture reset. In that setting, mind-uploading exists. Most of humanity died in an event where an AI's intelligence was accelerating out of control...and it just vanished and no one knows where it went. In order to escape they had to digitize their minds and beam them off world. That's why people can swap into new bodies and such, they're basically computer programs now. So when someone dies, they can just extract their mind and put it into a new body, provided they have insurance.
I think will be soubs better if you add some basic info about
1. Standart height, mass, length og tail, mass
2. Need in real ref sheet with view top/bottom left/right and so one
3. What about cybernetic - well sounds but cat it give some strange effects also, that not predicted...
Anyway all doing fine.

For height he's about the size of your average raccoon, so he'd come up to your knees. Tail is about as long as he is tall (including the height of his legs and ears when he's standing on two legs instead of when he's in a 4-legged scampering stance for speed), and weight is around 15 pounds, which is why he uses the lighter-than-air gasses to gain extra lift when not in zero-g.
For the ref sheet, I live on food stamps and disability assistance, so I can't afford to get one, sadly, at least not if I'm the one paying for it. Government pays bare minimum most of the time, so I end up having to spend every penny I get on things like food and bills, but hoping eventually I could get one that shows off some of his features like the backpack, holographic screens or his nanotech doing something. Was actually thinking of asking you if you'd want to give him a shot all huge and fluffy when you're not busy. Was waiting a couple months since I know how annoyed people are if they get spammed.
Cybeernetics, he's got dozens...
Like it mentions, his brain is completely computer, running his mind as an AI which has benefits like easily being able to back up his mind, make copies to do other things then re-merge them later, memories and all, able to speed up his thinking and perception by speeding up the processing cycles, wireless internet access, medical sensors, radio transceiver, mental health monitor, and a second, dumber AI called a Muse, non-sentient and acts like a personal assistant, keeping track of important dates, alarm clock, calculator, file storage system, media player, search engine, etc
He's got medical nanites in his blood that help heal wounds at dozens of times the normal rate, letting him regrow a limb within weeks.
Altered body odor to smell constantly perfumed
Gecko-style grip pads on his hands and "feet" to allow climbing for gliding spots
Spinal cord is fiber optic cable so nerve signals can travel at light-speed, though it's still tucked safely under the skin so isn't visible,
enhanced vision so he can see several dozen colors instead of a human's 7 like a Mantis Shrimp, capable of zooming in like binoculars, capable of seeing almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet, infrared / thermal and xrays to "T-Rays" that let him see through walls if he has a portable emitter for them.
He also has several nanotech swarms, such as Engineers which reinforce or weaken foundations, dig or fill tunnels or holes, erect or tear down walls, Cleaners which do as their name implies, Fixers which are your general repairers, Gardeners which can help or destroy plants and even harvest small ones like grapes by rolling them along the liquid-mercury-looking puddle, though nanomachines can also turn into a nearly-invisible cloud when airborne. Also got Dissassemblers and Proteans, which disassemble and build items accordingly. So like, if you wanted to make a car, you'd need raw materials and a Protean swarm, program it with the appearance and functions of the car you want, and it would slowly take the materials and "grow" your car from the nanotech puddle in about an hour, constructing it on the molecular level.

I would like that very much. Like, might have him monitoring some kind of holographic screen as he fattens or something from an experimental batch of nanotech. If you need what inspired him: http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/.....ps8tjveffo.png Basically, the nose-brace and lens are retractable into the helmet, which isn't actually part of his head, but a tool produced by the backpack's nanomachines. He also usually wears a kind of labcoat, since he works as a scientist. He's got various skills, psychologist, surgeon, machinist, nanotechnician, cloner, geneticist, etc. The fact that his brain isn't organic and is fully computerized gives him perfect memory and lets him hold on to all of those skills without degradation from lack of practice. The fact that the backpack can form mechanical arms ending in any kind of tool he can think of means he's never wanting for a tool for a specific job. If he needs to do surgery, they can turn into scalpels and other tools that he can control as easily as if they were his own hands, or if he needs to work on a machine they'd turn into various tools as appropriate.
I mean, I don't own the species, they're from the tabletop game Eclipse Phase: https://i.imgur.com/tyEhKva.png
So you can do whatever.
