Bio Androids are beings born from the cells of powerful beings for any number of reasons, usually to create the ultimate being. Thanks to your plethora of different energies born within you, sensing your ki gives an ominous feeling as if multiple people are powering up at once. Their appearance may be more monstrous or a humanoid figure with a mixture of traits from what races make them up, but that is only on the outside. On the inside, it’s possible that they are a mixed-up being caught within the goal of a mad scientist or perhaps they relish in the opportunity to fulfill their purpose. Bio Androids are a variable, unknown entity in the universe.

Bio Android Lore
Personality
Bio Androids are a type of organism grown artificially in a laboratory from the cells of multiple individuals. They are called Androids primarily due to the lack of a better term, truly they are closer to a chimera than a mechanical construct. Their personalities are the result of all the individuals’ cells that make up their composition. This can lead to wild personality traits; for example, the very first Bio-Android that was documented in history- Cell- had incredibly wild and varied personalities between his different stages of perfection. Bio Androids seem to also inherently suffer from some sort of “hunger”; it is unknown whether this is their nature, or a side effect of their creation. This “hunger” might be for more power, knowledge, perfection, or even just for substance. This can lead to single-minded goals or pursuits, sometimes ending up getting in the way of friends and allies.
Bio Androids are, by nature, extremely unstable beings and this can result in wild traits that are not at first obvious to the android or its creator.
Physical Description
Bio Androids can either appear more monstrous or humanoid with a mixture of traits from the multitude of races that make them up. They are separated into two categories: Familiar and Uncanny Bio Androids.
Familiar Bio Androids greatly resemble one of the races that make them up with small changes here and there; meanwhile Uncanny Bio Androids look completely alien and bizarre, usually barely resembling any of the races that make them up.
Bio Androids vary so greatly there is no general consensus regarding appearance.
Society
Bio Androids don’t have any functional society as they are artificially created instead of born and, as a result, usually live outside of society as it is typically hard for them to assimilate into it. Some Bio Androids have been observed forming a hive-like “nest”, creating a society like ants with a leader at the center; but this singular incident is the only example of a Bio-Android “society”.
Home World
Bio Androids claim whatever world they are born on, there is no definitive Bio Android home planet. Instead, they are created by many species across time and space.
Lore
Bio Android history is sparse, and their history typically pertains to only each individual Bio Android. However, the first known creation of Androids can be traced back to the Red Ribbon army.
The Red Ribbon army was defeated by a child named Son Goku, but was kept alive by the machinations of Dr. Gero, the head researcher, who would dedicate the rest of his life to revenge.
His ultimate weapon was a Bio Android named Cell, made from the cells of the strongest warriors in the world, who went on to ingest numerous humans and the two most “successful” androids Gero created in order to attain perfection, before being defeated by a grown Son Goku and his son, Son Gohan.
Several ages later, another Bio Android named Mira was created to assist the demon scientist Towa in reviving the Demon Realm. During this time, Towa and Mira would not only create new Bio Androids named “Majin Androids” who were fully under their control, but also Cell-X, a clone of Cell who was created without the genetic information from Son Goku. During the unstable creation of the clone, his development progressed down a wildly different path from the original Cell.
Cell-X proceeded to run away and spawn an entire hive of its own, creating an ant-like society and spawning many offspring before eventually being defeated.
It is unknown who is willing to keep creating such unstable and dangerous weapons, but the universe is full of strange and bizarre beings.
Naming
Bio Androids are typically named either after microscopic organisms, given regular names, or even named the way a regular android would be. Truthfully, however, the name is as wild as the creator of the Bio Android wants it to be.
Example Names: Cell, Genome, Mira, Android 21, Ahms, Fin
Primary Racial Traits
Artificial Warrior (Body): Through the power of science and genetic engineering, you have been created to be the perfect warrior.
(1)-[Triggered/Power, Resource]: Gain an Adaptation Point (max. 3).
(2)-[Triggered]: When making a Combat Roll, you may spend any number of Adaptation Points. For each spent, increase the Dice Score of that Combat Roll by 1(T).
(3)-[Triggered]: When you are hit by an Attacking Maneuver, you may spend any number of Adaptation Points. For each spent, increase your Damage Reduction by 1(T) for the duration of that Attacking Maneuver.
(4)-[Option]: At Character Creation, choose one of the following effects:
- Genetic Survivor [Passive]: Increase your Racial Life Modifier by 2 and reduce the Critical Target of your Dodge Rolls by 1.
- Genetic Aggressor [Passive]: Increase your Wound Rolls by 1(T) and reduce the Critical Target of your Strike Rolls by 1.
- Pursuit of Perfection [Addendum]: Please refer to the ‘Absorbed Perfection’ text box below.
Absorbed Perfection
If you select the Pursuit of Perfection Option effect, select a Race. You may use the Absorption Maneuver (see — One-Sided Fusions) on that Race, but you do not gain any benefits from that Absorbed Character except the increase to your Attribute Modifiers.
If that Opponent is of an equal or higher Tier of Power than you at the time they become an Absorbed Character, you gain a stack of Perfection (see — Perfection) as a Level 1 Temporary Awakening while they are an Absorbed Character. You cannot possess more than 2 Absorbed Characters, and if you lose an Absorbed Character that gave you a stack of Perfection, you lose that stack of Perfection.
You do not lose this Temporary Awakening at the end of the Combat Encounter if the Absorbed Character becomes or is a Deeply Suppressed Character. If an Absorbed Character becomes a Deeply Suppressed Character, your stacks of Perfection gained from this count towards your Awakening Limit.
Uncanny Monster (Body): An artificially created monster, you are able to consume the life force of other beings, allowing you to recover yourself.
(1)-[Passive]: Increase the Dice Score of your Intimidation Skill Checks by 2.
(2)-[Passive]: Gain 2 Bestial Traits or a Monstrous Trait. If you would gain a stack of Perfection, you may redo your choice for this effect.
(3)-[Passive]: You gain access to the Absorbing Attack Maneuver and the Drain Life Advantage.
(4)-[Triggered]: If you recovered more than 5(bT) Ki Points through the Absorbing Attack Maneuver on an Opponent that is of an equal or higher ToP than you, you may use the Power Up Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver.
Secondary Racial Traits
Combat Blueprint (Mind): Designed as a weapon of war, you are able to adapt to any combat scenario.

- Genetic Aggressor [Triggered, 1/Round]: If you knock an Opponent through a Health Threshold or Defeat them, gain an Adaptation Point.
- Pursuit of Perfection [Triggered/Start of Combat Round]: Gain 1 Adaptation Point.
Offensive Design (Mind): Literally built for battle, your potent offense is one of your best selling points.
(1)-[Triggered]: If you gain an Adaptation Point, regain 2(bT) Ki Points.
