Bio Androids
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.

Cellular Memory (Bio Android Racial Trait) (Body). As a creature created from splicing the cells of powerful beings, you are instilled with a natural proficiency in learning techniques. You only pay half the Technique Points for the Foundation of your Signature Techniques.
Optional (Your ARC decides if this is included): At Character Creation, if you know which characters were used as samples for your creation, you may choose to permanently forgo the ability to gain Technique Points through any method except Skill Improvements chosen through a Character perk (see – Character Creation). If you do, gain +1 Signature Technique from each sampled character for free immediately.
Genetic Splicing (Bio Android Racial Trait) (See Selected Races). You are a being of spliced genetics from various races, allowing you to tap into the abilities of those races. At Character Creation, you can select 3 races from the list below, gaining the associated effects.

You can only have 1 stack of Battle Born on a single Combat Roll. Each stack of Battle Born increases the selected Combat Roll by +1(T).
