Overview
During the Cylon's 40 year exile from the Colonies, after the Cimtar Peace Accord, they developed (or evolved) into a humanoid form that very closely mimics Human form, down to the cellular level.
Humano-Cylons have the capacity to emulate many of the same acts that humans do, including sex acts, as demonstrated by Number 6 model. (Mini-Series)
Huamno-Cylons can also be programmed to believe that they are human.
Like other Cylons, this model utilizes a synthetic, silicon brain that is susceptible by certain classes of radiation. Models of Cylon can also transfer consciousnesses into another copy of itself, though this is limited by distance and other outside interferences. (Mini-Series, Flesh and Bone)
Cylon "female" models may have the capacity to bear children seeded by Human males. (Flesh and Bone, Hand of God)
Known Humano-Cylon Models
There are four known Humano-Cylon models. At maximum, there are nine. (Mini-Series, You Can't Go Home Again)
Sharon "Boomer" Valerii
This model has shown naviete in many matters. She is apparently not as religious as other Cylon models, but has demonstrated that she can love, unlike the Number Six model. She may be "defective", as her two personalities (Cylon and Human-programmed), have clashed multiple times. (Water)
Ref: Valerii, Sharon
Number Six / Shelly Godfrey
This model utilizes the human need / desire for sexual relations to her advantage. She is religious, believing in a monotheistic deity. She desires to know what it is to be alive.
Typically she is the alpha female, as demonstrated on multiple occasions. (Mini-Series, 33, Water, Six Degrees of Separation)
Ref: Number Six
Aaron Doral
This model attempts to sew the seeds of discontent and endeavors to undermine authority that threatens his objectives. (Mini-Series) Doral-model tackles more of the behind-the-scenes issues, but at times takes it upon himself to execute certain tasks, such as becoming a suicide bomber. (Litmus)
Ref: Doral, Aaron
Leoben Conoy
This model has shown to be religiously oriented, spewing dogma and intermixing truth with falsehoods. It was first discovered on Ragnar Station, claiming to be a scavenger / arms dealer. (Mini-Series)
He can be likened to the serpent of the Genesis tale in the Earth Christian Bible, taunting people with knowledge then watching as the negative consequences come into devestating fruition.
