Androids possess a humanoid appearance, their features often mirroring humans, with diverse variations in height, weight, skin color, and eye color. While they can adopt a wide range of physical attributes, they typically lean towards a human-like appearance, allowing them to blend into various environments seamlessly.

Relations

Androids often approach relations with a binary perspective, either seeking global dominance as part of their programmed directives or adopting a laid-back and relaxed attitude when not pursuing world conquest, allowing them to coexist peacefully with other races.

Alignment

Androids typically lean towards a neutral alignment, prioritizing efficiency and logical decision-making, with their actions driven by programmed objectives or, in more relaxed situations, a balanced and impartial approach.

Lands

Androids can adapt to various environments based on their programmed preferences, often favoring areas aligned with their directives. However, some androids may unexpectedly develop attachments to natural surroundings or specific locales, occasionally choosing to reside in areas that diverge from their original programming.

Religion

Androids typically do not adhere to any religious beliefs or practices, as their existence is primarily rooted in programmed directives and logical reasoning rather than spiritual or divine considerations.

Language

Androids are proficient in languages programmed into their systems, allowing them to comprehend and communicate in a wide range of languages as dictated by their creators or circumstances.

Names

Androids are often designated with a combination of the term "Android" followed by a numerical identifier. Alternatively, some may adopt regular names combined with an assigned number, reflecting the practical and systematic approach to identification in their creation.

Racial Traits

• +1 int -1 Cha +1 Con +1 str +1 dex -1 wis
• Humanoid Robotic
• Medium
• Android base land speed is 30 feet: Flight 30 ft

• Ki Perception (Su):

Androids, equipped with advanced sensors and ki detection capabilities, possess the ability of Ki Perception. Within a maximum range of 300 feet, as long as they have ki, they can sense the location of objects and creatures. Additionally, Androids remain impervious to being ki sensed by others. With a mere glance, they can accurately gauge the power level of individuals within their sensing range, allowing them to gather crucial information about the strength and capabilities of those around them.

• Energy Drain (Ex):

Androids possess the ability to drain energy from a target by making physical contact, typically through grabbing. Once per turn, they can choose to initiate a Energy Drain. The android rolls a contested grapple check against the target's Dexterity (Acrobatics) or Strength (Athletics) check. If successful, the android drains Hit points equal to a quarter of there con mod from the target, transferring this energy directly to their core reserves.

Additionally, Androids can attempt to drain Energy from incoming attacks. They can make a Energy Drain attempt against the attack by rolling a contested check against the attack roll or save DC of the Energy based ability. If successful, they drain Energy equal to half of their Con Modifier and will lose fatigue exhaustion if the attack is drained. However, failure to completely drain the attack within one turn results in the remaining energy hitting the Android as normal.

Side Effects

Due to the unique nature of Androids, they are unable to access certain advanced techniques. they are unable to employ Kaioken due to their lack of a conventional, organic body.

Furthermore, Androids are devoid of traditional transformations, making them immune to the transformative effects associated with many races.

In the event their core energy is fully depleted, Androids experience a significant drawback. Their ki points start to drain at the beginning of each turn, losing an amount equal to their Ki Control modifier until they replenish their core energy reserves. Managing core energy becomes crucial, and Androids must balance their offensive capabilities with the need to maintain a sufficient energy supply.

---

Should an Android's core energy become fully depleted, they suffer severe consequences. Their abilities and physical capabilities are significantly impaired.

All of their ability scores are halved until their core energy is replenished. Additionally, they experience a reduction of 20 feet in their movement speed.
