Android (DBZ Series) (3.5e Race)

Androids

Personality

Androids act almost exactly the same as they did when they were 100% Of any race that you chose. They can be occasionally seen recharging or performing tasks that a normal race couldn't normally do.

Physical Description

Androids tend to either be their original height before being robotically enhanced and sometimes opt for more enhancements that increase their weight and height. Normal android height tends to be 5'8" - 7' and tend to weight between 150 - 250lbs depending on the type of enhancements. Androids usually can be seen with a myriad of different eye colors. Some red, some yellow, some blue and everything between. They often have metal plating's on their shoulders, elbows, and/or knees and their chest and legs are replaced with synthetic skin expanding their limits beyond what they originally could do. Some androids may also glow depending on their enhancements.

Relations

Due to androids being any race that is willing to undergo the robotic enhancements, they tend to get along with all races, being seen as a helpful tool to some and a savior to others. Some races though might look upon the androids as an abomination and refuse to cooperate with that which isn't natural in their eyes.

Alignment

Androids can be of any alignment of their choosing due to them possessing their own free will and thoughts.

Lands

Androids feel most at home in cities and towns that are further along in their technological advancements due to the cyborg occasionally needing components that aren't easily obtained or made in hidden villages and small towns.

Religion

Androids freely follow any religion they see fit but might not feel comfortable with deities that frown upon people changing their bodies unnaturally.

Language

Common, Elven

Names

Some Androids like to undergo a change of name or alias that pertains to their new cybernetic lifestyle.

• Fuel Cell (Ex): Due to the mechanical nature of the androids enhancements, they require a working fuel source that powers their robotic enhancements.

This fuel cell can be powered through Ki absorbed from others that is compounded and transformed into fuel for the android.
