Gazroid
Gazroids, named after their
ingenious creator Dr. Gaza, Gazroids are highly advanced androids with
Human thought and emotions. Dr. Gaza created Gazroids because he
had no children of his own, so the first Gazroid has (Now the Emperor of
Galaria) the body of a 6 year old human child, his name is Prometheus.
Gazroids were never intended for military use, and even though Dr. Gaza
refused vehemently, the government of Kikai came down on him and his son
Prometheus, they destroyed the lab and took the plans, killing Dr. Gaza
in the process and wounding Prometheuses face plate. Prometheus,
having watched his father die felt something he had never felt before,
sadness, and though he could not cry it wracked his metallic heart with
pain, and soon another emotion came over him, anger, burning away the terrible
sadness. He would have revenge upon those who had destroyed his happiness,
but first he would have to learn about fighting and war.
He downloaded all the information he could find
on war and fighting techniques in what was left of the lab computers, then
he decided that he would have to modify himself, fixing Dr. Gaza's features
in his memory, he buried his father and went to work.
When the modifications were
complete he was equipped with many known weapons and a few he himself created,
he only left his face the same way, scarred and imperfect so that he would
never forget his past life, or what had ended it.
He found Genodyne Labs easily, but nothing could
have prepared him for the suprise he got when he reached the inner sanctum.
He had a brother.
His name was Empetheus, he was Prometheus's exact
twin. They were both cast from the same mold, and they both realized
that they had an instinctual hatred for each other.
A great battle ensued, and
neither was the victor, they were both buried under tons of rubble, for
the titanic struggle had reduced the lab to nothing.
Prometheus, after extracting himself from the
wreckage went back to his former home and began building a sister, for
he was lonely, he named her Luna. They then took what little machinery
from the lab that was left and journeyed to a small island off the est
coast of Kikai.
40 Years later that selfsame
island, now named Galaria, is the home to the robotic race known as Gazroids,
Prometheus is ruler there, advised by his sister, they isolate themselves
from Humans because they believe them to be the cause of their emperors
eternal suffering whom they love dearly.
They do honor one Human though, Dr. Gaza, the
father of their race. It is rumored that Empetheus still lives, and has
created more like him, they are not Gazroids, they are classified only
as Ronins.
Nickname: Toy soldiers
Character Creation: Gazroids come in two
forms, Specialty, and Formal.
Specialty Gazroids are created to take only one
ability, but they excel in its use so well that they can match most other
Gazroids with no problem. Example: Nina wants to be a specialty Gazroid,
she chooses the element Fire for her specialty, her Gazroid has the ability
to control fire in all its states, and as her Sento-Ryoko go's up she can
create more powerful flames, but her Gazroid is incredibly weak when confronted
with water. There are four Classes of specialty Gazroids: Elements,
Combatants, Animals, and Psychic. They each excel in one type of
power.
Formal Gazroids, on the other hand have only
one special ability. The ability to steal the powers of specialty
Gazroids. They usually equip themselves with many attachment weapons
and upgrades so they can stand up to an attack from a Specialty Gazroid,
then once the power is stolen they can download it at its lowest level
and store it for later, their bodies automatically adapt.
To steal a power the specialty Gazroid its form
must be destroyed, then you must syphon it away with your non attack hand
and store it in a blank chip. Specialty Gazroids prefer any stat
that complements their power, Formal Gazroids prefer physical and mental.
Appearance: For the most part Gazroids look like Humans wearing strange armor, some specialty Gazroids look like animals.
Starting Stats: All Gazroids begin with a 4 in Willpower and a 5 in Ability Points, since they cannot have anger they may take more then ten permanent Ability points. They have 15 freebie points to spend.
Life Span: A Gazroid can, in theory, live for eternity if he/she keeps up good maintenance of their body.
Weakness: Formal Gazroids lose power much
quicker then Specialty Gazroids. Specialty Gazroids on the other
hand, take a weakness from what they specialize in, an elemental fire Gazroid
would be weak to an Elemental attack based on water. Fire and Earth
are weak against water, Water is weak against wind, wind weakens against
earth, a Combatant Gazroid is weak against Psychic attacks, Animal Gazroids
have an instinctual fear of the Gazroid that take an animal higher on the
food chain then it. And Psychic's are weak against Elementals.
Gazroids have no contact with
other races. Except those that leave Galaria.
