Androids
Home world: Any
Average Height: Variable.
Culture: Varies
Description:
Androids are nothing short of technical marvels. Though there is a bit of misconception, as there are two types. The fully autonomous robotic variant, and then the Cyborg variant. Technically speaking, anyone and anything is capable of becoming an Android... At least to some extent. Typically they will most resemble the original race that they were, or one that they are simply modeled after. Specifications of the Androids can vary wildly, but one thing is true; once they have given up their "humanity", they no longer channel Ki. Though some models may be able to absorb it.
Androids instead use a different energy source, which renders them undetectable through all manners of Ki Sensing. This results in requiring special equipment to be able to pin them down. This has led to the concern that they might be used for assassination attempts, since they would be a virtually undetectable killer... But, their origins can also be far more benign, only coming about as the only means to save someone's life when they would have died otherwise.
Racials:
Efficient Wiring:
The Android benefits from highly adjusted internal mechanisms. This allows them to purchase upgrades for less than usual, as their system doesn't demand as much to get the same results. It amounts to a 25% cost reduction in the store.

Self-Regulating Coolant:
Android processors and weaponry can have the tendency to overheat, sometimes even the best of cooling systems can do little to counteract this fact. However, those with this racial will find themselves carrying a more advanced cooling system with far better output. With this racial rather than a 10 ki reduction when using Mechanical Techniques, it is instead a 5 ki reduction.

Energy Upgrade:
Androids use energy far differently than other races tend to due to their internal equipment. With this racial you can increase your energy consumption through one of two special upgrades. You may choose one of the following:
Unlimited Energy Module:
This module is designed to consistently generate it's own energy source, providing the android it is installed within to have far greater energy pools to pull from. With this variation you have a fixed 10 extra points to your ki pool to make use of.
Energy Absorption Module:
Far different from simply generating it's own energy, this module allows those it is installed in to pull energy from their opponents. With this module variation you start with 5 extra points of ki to your ki pool, HOWEVER in combat you can choose to drain energy from an opponent. Every turn of draining that is uninterrupted, your extra ki will increase by 1 point, to a maximum of 20 extra points of ki. As a downside, every thread you participate in where-in you do not drain energy, your extra pool of ki will shrink by 5 points, capping out at a minimum of 5 extra ki.
[Can only choose one out of the two options]

Reboot:
Androids are built far differently from organic beings, and take damage in a different way. With this racial an upgrade is installed which reroutes subroutines towards self-repair. The user can choose once per thread to be stunned for one turn in return for a 5% hp heal passively across five turns.

Transformations:
Overclock
The Android sets their internal components and enhancements to operate beyond their limits. Though this can prove quite stressful at first, the more data is collected on using their power in this fashion, the more reliable and stable it can become.
[x10]
[Unlockable at 5,000 PL]
Level 1 - (0/20) - 5 Stamina Drain per turn
Level 2 - (0/60) - 3 Stamina Drain per turn
Level 3 - (0/120) - 2 Stamina Drain per turn
Upgraded Android
The previous increase was all about overclocking their base parts, this is about upgrading those parts to a far more efficient level that the Android wishes for. Although the output of power takes some time to adjust to, as it puts them equal with a Super Saiyan.

[Unlocked with 100,000 PL and 20,000 Zenny]
Overclocked Upgrades
Perhaps lacking in a little creativity, it is nonetheless effective for the Android to overclock their newfound enhancements beyond the expected limitations. It places just as much stress on them as before, but the increase in overall efficiency is undeniable, as it makes the base upgrades simply pale in comparison.

[Unlocked with 175,000 PL and 30,000 Zenny]
Cutting Edge Android
The Android once more upgrades their base parts to even better technology than before. This truly sets them on the forefront, and there's little more to be done to improve once one has reached this point. Of course... Does that stop the Android from collecting data of their own accord, and finding their own improvements to make?

Super Android
Once they have achieved the means, the Android further upgrades themselves to a further state of power, becoming an all new kind of technological marvel. Still, the data is incomplete, and anyone that reaches this point will be able to see that clear as day. The only way to correct the calculations is to become accustomed to everything that they have changed, and testing the limits of each.

[Unlocked with 480,000 PL and 50,000 Zenny]
True Super Android
This is a Super Android without limits or faults. A peerless state of power and efficiency. This would make them one of the most advanced things to ever exist in the Universe. The data shows that there couldn't be much more of a way to improve... Perhaps now one must think outside of the box, if they wish to go further than this.
