Artificial Scion Android Android Heritage

Your body wasn’t created in the image of a biological creature; a powerful artificial intelligence created you to interface with other machines. Your physiology is nearly identical to other androids, but uncanny details give away your non-standard origins (for example, you might have impossibly symmetrical features, extra fingers, or double pupils). You become trained in Computers, and you gain the Phreaker skill feat.

Society

Artificial scions, designed to interact with machines, have integrated into society in roles that require strength, strategy, and authority. However, their artificial nature and potential power raise concerns about their control and ethical use, necessitating careful regulation.

  • Legacy of the Makers: The character learns of a hidden cache of advanced technology or a lost archive of knowledge left behind by their creators. They must race against rival factions or sinister forces to find this legacy, potentially unlocking new abilities or uncovering secrets about their origins.

  • The Hunter and the Hunted: The character's unique nature and advanced capabilities attract the attention of a ruthless bounty hunter or a shadowy organization. They must evade capture while trying to uncover the reasons behind the pursuit, leading to a thrilling chase across the galaxy.

The character, with their unique ability to interface with machines and systems, becomes a key player in understanding and resolving the crisis.
