BTW, anyone that's read my story can maybe
understand better where nix came from.

Your waster's one of those andriods that had an "awakening". In
truth, what usually happened was that a tech spirit wandered into the AI
programming for an early andriod and it now has all the benefits of
personality and free will. yipee! What this means in game terms is
that you suffer wounds like harrowed, only a shot to the head will destroy
you. then, your tech spirit self is blown all to hell. unless you have
the smarts to evacuate the body(it takes about 5 minutes), that means you're
gone forever, no hunting grounds for you.
another disadvantage of this is
that the AI still has a small but noticable grasp on you, lowering your spirit
die type to a maximum of d6. plus, you can't buy any other arcane background.
ow. but, being part tech spirit and all, you can use ANY of the powers
that your browser spirit type has at level 6(still costs chips, look at the
junkman cometh). in addition, you still have a link with the hunting
grounds and may help direct tech spirits to a junker, giving said junker a +3
to his science:occult engineering roll for building a device. oh yeah,
choose a tech spirit type, so you can determine which powers you can
use.
Android Table:
2:you're an early
android. not so well-built. your maximum die type for any
corporeal trait is d10.
3:A labor 'bot is where you made your home.
all corporeal traits gain a die type to a maximum of d12, but all your mental
traits lose a die type to a minimum of d4.
4:You found a maid robot to
inhabit. nothing changes.
5:You found your way into a pleasure
'bot. gain the edges purty, the voice:soothing, and raise your mien a
step to a maximum of d12. also, you get the randy hinderance.
6:Your
body is that of an infiltration android. gain 3 levels of sneak and
raise your nimbleness by a die type.
7:Yours is a pit fighter. Gain
the hinderances bloodthirsty, vengeful, and mean as a rattler, but raise any
two corporeal traits by a die type.
8:You've got a teacher bot's
body. Raise your knowledge by a die type and gain your choice of any
acadamia at level 5. The problem with this, however, is that your body
wasn't built to fight. subtract a die type from your strength, vigor,
and quickness.
9:You made your way into a tactical droid. gain
leadership at level 3, and raise your smarts by a die type.
10:A scout
droid seemed good enough for you. Get 3 levels of search and trackin', and
raise your cognition by a die type to a max of d12.
j:Your body is a
hazardous-materials 'bot. Raise deftness by 2 steps, and vigor by
one.
q:You found a soldier bot to enter. Raise stength, quickness,
and vigor by one die type.
k:Lucyily enough, you got a late-model assasin
android as your body. get sneak at level 4, raise numbleness by 2 die
types.
a:You got into a junker-built android. You probably asked him
to do it for you, too. choose another browser type:you can
use both of their powers now.
jr:your spirit is really human. how you
got mistaken for a tech spirit is for you to figure out. but, remove the
restriction on your spirit, and raise it a step from what it was before you
reduced it, to a maximum of d12. You can choose what kind of body you
want.
jb:your robot has a malfunction. let your GM worry about what
it does to you, she can be really nasty about it
too.
