I'll make a race for my [s]mechanical overlords[/s] character [hider=Concept] [u][b]Race:[/b][/u] [i][u]Androids[/u], were created by people who simply have enough of implanting a human consciousness into a mechanical body and went further into questionable territory. Creating purely mechanized beings who have programmed and given AI sufficient enough to pass as humans depending on how detailed their systems are. [/i] Average height: [i]5'7 - 6'4, their forms are meant to represent the average human[/i] Average weight: [i]160 lbs - 250 lbs, despite their appearance their internal systems tend to make them weigh more than what is expected[/i] [u][b]Stats:[/b][/u] Intelligence: [i]8, essentially they are programs advance enough to surpass mortal minds simply due to their nature of having no limit of mortal flesh[/i] Health: [i]15, Androids and their shells are sturdy as expected but due to their very delicate nature are in reality more vulnerable[/i] Dexterity: [i]7, lacking in physical strength they are surprisingly nimble and move elegantly with a calculated grace [/i] Strength: [i]4, delicate creations that their mechanical shells aren't supposed to be used for physically taxing things unlike their Cyborg-counter parts [/i] Constitution: [i]N/A, biological effects will simply fail against Androids due to their pure mechanical nature [/i] Lifespan: [i]Indefinite, as long they keep up their repairs on their mechanical body or transfer their core to other systems which can support them they can live forever[/i] Personalized Protection: [i]+5 to Hacking Defense as Androids closely maintain their bodies and make sure there are adequate measures of defenses to protect them from outside influence on their body.[/i] Born from Code: [i]+3 to Hacking as Androids have an innate talent for peeking at the source wall and exploiting security flaws that they find.[/i] [u][b]Racial Abilities[/b][/u] [i]Androids are immune to all biological attacks and effects due to their pure nature as machines and anything that attempts to biological affect them are rendered useless. Androids and their bodies are basically a huge walking computer which allows them to install a variety of programs to use in their technological exploits if they so wished to. They come with a modified Interloper Connection Cable for free as a plug-in to charge from an electrical energy source and a Virtual Well due to their sophisticated programming inside of them. Due to their nature as machines, Androids possess an internal memory bank which records everything which they can review both visually and audibly. With these memories, they are able to compress years and years into data which can be packed away in storage for later review if needed. Androids are capable of surviving in vacuums and atmospheres which may be incompatible for most.[/i] [u][b]Racial Downsides[/b][/u] [i]Androids cannot handle extreme temperatures and if exposed to such conditions, the issue of overheating themselves into a state of unconsciousness until the ventilate themselves. Exposure to 'Blistering' heat will visibly impact them and sustained exposure to this heat and above will be sufficient to start throwing -1 in 'Dexterity' and 'Intelligence' periodically until it hits 0 where the Android shuts off. Androids as an artificial race do not have any natural healing capabilities and must buy new parts and repairs in their downtime. Due to the nature of their body, their parts cost more than Cyborgs but less than the sophisticated Revived. Fatal hits while indeed deadly are capable of dealing severe damage to the core of the Android which is their head, but can be recovered extensively with a large amount of data lost which requires further repair. [indent] As a purely mechanical race, damage to their internal system severely messes up the electrical work and programming inside of them which can provide a variety of errors. Every 5 points of damage take -2 from intelligence and -1 from dexterity in the form of errors and damaged data which will result in sluggish performance from the Android. Anytime an Android is disabled, their electronic defenses are disabled and are vulnerable to viruses along with other programs which may be timed to invade them when their systems reboot. The armor of Androids are capable of blocking the most dangerous amount of EMP waves that would fry electrons but still cause more than enough extensive damage to an Android's complicated part and consciousness. Suffering from temporary nausea and disorientation along with -1 to both 'Intelligence' and 'Dexterity' at first until they fully recover. Receiving another EMP attack during this time frame will occur another -2 to both stats and repeating until both stats stop at 1 resulting in a barely functioning Android. Strong electrical attacks will also replicate the same difficulties that an Android faces with EMP waves. [/indent] Androids are forced to charge if they wish to function normally in replacement of the consumption of food, while it's preferred to use a charging station it is fine to use their built-in generator which places them in a sleeping state that is hard to rouse. After 12 hours of activity, it is required for androids to recharge themselves fully or face intensifying issues. Every two hours past this limit siphons -2 intelligence and dexterity to keep the main core running, until both of these stats hit 0 which the Android shuts down to forcefully recharge. As a pure mechanical race, every biological and sentient thing seems to hate Androids due to their mistrust of technology seemingly eclipsing humanity. The main purpose of Androids was to integrate within the complex ecosystem that they were in and find the loopholes to slip through. Still both humans and Aliens despise Androids for their pure form as a machine. Androids like their Cyborg have a crippled charismatic talent due to their unique situation but have the necessary features to emulate both emotions in speech and in facial features. All they have to do is simply learn the vast amount of emotions that humans go through, which can take some time. Making the newest of Androids seemingly shy and awkward when talking... [/i] [/hider] A redundant race really, but the terminator-styled Cyborgs are not tech savy enough with me. So hopefully this is fine, I tried to offset its advantages equally.
