Android

You were manufactured, not born. Some might say that makes you superior to living people, especially those born without the benefit of strict genetic oversight. And even people who have used genetic engineering lack your ability to upgrade yourself as needed to deal with new situations, jobs, and wherever your curiosity might lead. Your integument and frame are tougher than skin and bones, and you have a way with other machines that most living things never will.

As adaptable as you are, you can take multiple different roles on your team over time, including serving as a frontline combatant. You're equally useful in other situations, especially when interfacing with nearby machines. But even that pales in comparison to your android capacity to dump old skills and take on new training in something important to an emerging situation or upcoming mission.

Background Options

• You just discovered you were an android, built to mimic humans, and now you want to find your maker and ask them some tough questions.
• You were sold as a "nanny bot" to a family to watch their children, which you excelled at until the dissident bomb. Now repurposed, you hope to one day bring retribution to the offenders.
• You had an earlier existence, but as you learned a few weeks ago, your memories were erased to give you your current identity.
• One of thousands of military androids that fought in the planetary wars, you ran away.
• Raised by the institute, your life has been protected and serene. Now you're looking for adventure farther away from the civilized worlds.
• You toiled for years to pay off your manufacture bond and were finally emancipated a few months ago.
• You've always loved space travel. One day you hope to upgrade yourself to become a shipmind capable of faster-than-light travel yourself.
• You were the target of a crime against artificial people a few years ago.
