Bio-Androids

An artificial race created out of the building blocks of other species, the Bio-Android is a rare but dangerous creation.

Physical Description

The appearance of a Bio-Android is heavily determined by the races which constitute them. Some appear as a conglomerate of all the races that went into their creation, while others may resemble one of the many races that went into their creation.

History

Bio-Androids are an invented creature. They have their origins in cell research that combines the DNA of other races to create one single creature. This practice has been honed over time, and has resulted in progressively stronger Bio-Androids. While information varies, it is said that some Bio-Androids can be created upon an already existing creature, enhancing them to gain the powers of the races their cells are merged with.

Society

Bio-Androids lack any sort of formal society regardless of how they're created. Those that are created upon an already existing creature typically retain their involvement in their original races' society, while those that are created out of nothing follow the purpose they were created for, or whatever purpose they designate for themselves.

Bio-Android Names

Named by their creators or themselves, Bio-Androids tend to have very formal names based on their creation.

Names: Android 21, Cell, Cell Max, Mira, Fu

Bio-Android Traits

A dangerous race of Bio-Engineered creatures.
Ability Score Increase. Bio-Androids gain their features from their constituents. Choose two ability scores. One of them increases by +2, the other increases by +1. Alternatively, choose 3 ability scores. All increase by +1.
Age. Bio-Androids generally mature very fast, and don't typically age.
Alignment. Bio-Androids have no set alignment as a whole, but tend to lean towards evil. While some grow out of this, others remain evil for their entire existence.
Size. The size of a Bio-Android changes depending on what creatures go into their inception. Your size can be small, medium, or large.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Stolen Cells. You lack original traits, instead drawing from the races that comprise your being. Choose a number of racial features equal to 1 + half of your proficiency modifier (rounded down). You may take the physical features of these races. As your proficiency modifier increases, you may select additional racial features over the course of a long rest. These cannot be changed, and you cannot take the same racial feature twice.
Path to Perfection. At the moment you're far from your final form, but you'll slowly work your way towards perfection. You can learn the Bio-Android Transformation as a Basic Technique for your list of Techniques, which is counted as a Supplementary Form. Furthermore, any transformations that require the Bio-Android Transformation to be acquired for your list of Techniques are also considered Supplementary Forms. The Bio-Android transformation by this Feature, does not require you've learned the Android Transformation.
Programmed Techniques. The cells used in your creation hold the understanding of techniques learnt by those who make up your DNA. At level 1, choose a number of non-transformation Techniques equal to your Wisdom Modifier. You learn the chosen Techniques as Fundamental Techniques. If the chosen Technique is considered an Advanced Technique or higher, you must spend an additional amount of Ki equal to half your Wisdom Modifier rounded up until you reach the required level to cast the chosen Technique naturally.
Optional: Intrinsic Connection. Your body accepts the cells of one race very closely. Select one race which you've taken racial features from with Stolen Cells. You now count as your chosen race for the purposes of meeting technique requirements.
Languages. You can speak, read and write, Common.

Random Height and Weight
