Android (Dragon Ball Supplement)
Android[edit]
Androids are fully mechanical beings, typically built to mimic biological lifeforms. Their artificial bodies grant them enhanced strength, resilience, and efficiency, often surpassing the limits of their organic counterparts. While many were created as tools of war with specific objectives, others can develop autonomy, seeking purpose beyond their original design. While Androids can be made by many creators, many trace their origins to the Red Ribbon Army, a group notorious for producing androids as weapons of conquest on Earth.

Androids typically resemble their biological counterparts, though some have robotic features or enlarged body parts that make their artificial nature obvious.
History[edit]
Androids come from many different origins but those on made by the Red Ribbon Army were created with the objective to destroy the strongest warrior on earth, allowing the Red Ribbon Army to complete world domination. However, most of them were destroyed or turned to the good side.
Society[edit]
Androids lack any sort of formal society regardless of how they're created. They generally follow the purpose they were created for, or whatever purpose they designate for themselves.
Android Names[edit]
Androids have no real naming scheme, simply being called Android and having their production number by their side.
Android Traits[edit]
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2 and your Strength or Dexterity score increases by 1.
Age. Due to Androids not being born and instead created, they don't age and start off at their age of maturity.
Alignment. Androids have no set alignment as a whole, but tend to lean towards evil due to their origins. While some grow out of this, others remain evil for their entire existence.
Size. Androids are similar if not slightly taller than humans in size. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Mechanical Body. Your body is completely mechanical, being nothing but a machine. Your creature type is Construct, and you do not need to eat, drink or breathe. In addition, you are immune to diseases, poison damage and the poisoned condition.
Mechanical Type. You are the most common type of android, constructed from hard metal and other durable materials, and your power reflects that. You learn the Android Transformation as a Basic Technique, and it does not count against your technique limit. The bonus to your scores starts at +2 and increases by +1 at levels 15, 23, and 39.
As a bonus action, you can temporarily increase this bonus to +5 (unless it is already higher) until the end of your next turn. At the end of that turn and subsequent turns, you must spend either 1 ki point or 1 hit die (losing hit points equal to the result of the roll) to maintain the boost.
Model Evolution. Your body is built for modification, allowing you to upgrade yourself sooner than flesh and blood Androids. The Ki Drain, Infinite Energy Model count as Advanced Techniques and Super Android technique counts as a Super Technique.
Combat or Scouter Type. Choose one of the following:
- Tough Hide: Your artificially created skin is unnaturally tough. You have a damage threshold of 4, unless you already have a higher threshold. This increases by 4 at levels 6 (8 total), 18 (12 total), 30 (16 total), 42 (20 total), and 54 (24 total).
- Scouter: You were designed with a built-in living being tracker. You gain the effects of the Ki Sense technique, which is always active at 1/4 of its normal range (rounded to the nearest multiple of 5). This range increases by 1/4 at levels 6, 18, 30, 42, and 54.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that was written into your programming.
