Technoid OCC

As always none of these occ'c are racially biased and any race can make use of the occ's

The Technoid character has grown up and spent his/her entire life studying technology. This persons only desire and skill is to create and improve technology. The Technoids are extremely powerful in the Asylum scientific and engineering community. The Technoids are resposible for over 80% of the Asylum's technical advances while only making up roughly 10% of the Asylm's scientific community. These engineers have few if any equals in the Megaverse when it comes to understanding and developing new technologies. However, due to their obssesion with technology and all things technical they have almost no ability to communicate with any technically illiterate indivdual (meaning anyone not involved in the scientific community).

Technoid Bonuses:

  1. The Technoid is a minor psychic with the following ablities:
    - telemechanics
    - object read
    - total recall
    Base ISP is MEx2 +2d6
  2. The character is also considered to be insane, obssesion with technology, loves it and most believe that they can communicate with any technological device. This often leads to Technoids having very animated conversations with toasters, clocks, washers, drills, etc. The character is also to be highly influenced by sci-fi movies, cartoons, comics, and *gasp* role-playing games.
  3. The Technoid gets the following skills from Heros Unlimited (TM). (if you don't have HU or don't like these skills then don't use them however, if you don't use them there are no substitutes) These skill and table can be found on pages 73-77 of the HU MRB.
