Cyborg
Basics
Even though most Cyborgs can surpass the average human in strength, intelligence, and speed this race is considered actually lesser than humans in society. Mostly Cyborgs are recognized as tools in rank of what percentage of their being can be considered human. Or, if they're mostly human, they're seen as weak. Odd, right? But no, it's true. To add cybernetic technology to one's self is seen as a cop out, an easier way through life. However the good news is that you're above Magi in that societal ranking.
Types:
- Bionics: A human with technologically advanced prosthetics. You were born a human and have either added improvements to your natural form or have completely replaced parts of yourself with these snazzy tidbits. Note: You can only purchase upgrades relating to your cybernetic parts (For example, if you only have cybernetic arms, you can't buy "Hydraulic Legs")
-Hosted Human: A human who has had their brain transplanted into an android body. Often get mistaken for a normal Android which can lead to being treated more like an object or slave rather than a person with rights.
- Androids: This is an artificial intelligence that has been given a physical form. Most are human-like machines that have synthetic human skin over their mechanical bodies. An uneducated eye could mistake an android for human. However others are left unfurnished and clearly could never be mistaken for human.

STARTER Abilities
Weaponry Starter and Purchasable Abilities: found here
Hollow Alloy: Bullets can cause dents and can eventually be penetrated. However, you are capable of reaching speeds that are untouchable through the use of Propulsion. These speeds can also be realized in flight through the purchase of Flight.
Emotional Simulation: (Optional for Androids and Artificial Intelligence only) Can understand emotions that were previously not programmed. Able to act more human than before.
Recharge Upgrade: The amount of time needed to recharge does not have to be the rough estimate of time needed for humans to sleep (≈ 8 hours per 24 hours). A three to four hours will suffice.
Convenient Shield: One of your arms can shift itself into a bullet proof shield that is just large enough to protect all of you if you crouch down into the tightest ball you can.
Translator I: You are now capable to understand multiple languages that have been downloaded into your memory.
Advanced Synthskin: Your synthetic skin, hair, etc. is extremely convincing. You look like a human to even a trained eye, or fellow androids. This advanced skin will even bruise, scar, and up to a degree, bleed (fake blood). Only advanced detection, like x-rays, could discover the difference.
Antivirus I: Retain one cybernetic upgrade of your choice when hacked. All others come back in half the time.
Software Transfer (Android Only): Allows you to detach your consciousness from your body. You can upload to a computer (that you are allowed access to) and operate as an AI program. You may reside in that computer, transfer back to your body, or accompany others (think Cortana from Halo, or J.A.R.V.I.S. from Marvel/Iron Man). You cannot self-replicate. You may have a different appearance as an AI than your android body, or none at all, if you choose.

Intermediate ABILITIES
Overclocking (Android Only): Allows you to override safety protocols and overclock yourself. This gives you a boost to your abilities (mental and physical). However, overclocking is dangerous! Cyborg processors are already fragile for the amount of power they handle. Overclocking very hard or for more than 10-15 minutes a day could result in: involuntary shutdowns/restarts, fire, permanent damage to senses, malfunctioning processors, and many more awful effects.
Weapon Convenience: With the purchase of this upgrade you can now have whatever weapon's upgrade you have to now be a physical part of your body. All we ask is that each limb have only one type of weapon attached to it. For instance, the right arm could have two handed weapons abilities applied to it while the other has a single handed weapon upgrade most likely meaning it has a blade concealed within it.
Military Alloy: Bullet proof metal but explosions and more powerful attacks are still possible in causing damage. Speed is improved from Tank Alloy. Propulsion is possible but flight is not.
Tank Alloy: As insinuated by the name, you are a dream defensively but speed is less than to be desired. Running speeds are on the slower side and flying is impossible. Propulsion and flight is impossible.
Thermal Plating: A heat-deterring metal that takes longer to conduct warmth, better protecting circuitry from flames and fire. Plating is applied on the outer layer of the metal, so this may be combined with any alloy upgrade.(only one plating can be purchased)
Insulated Plating: A plating that is better insulated against extreme cold, protecting circuitry from freezing and joints from slowing in extreme cold. Plating is applied on the outer layer of the metal, so this may be combined with any alloy upgrade.(only one plating can be purchased)
Zinc Plating: A thin layer of zinc that better protects circuits and the rest of the chassis from magnetism (from Earth Magi). Plating is applied on the outer layer of the metal, so this may be combined with any alloy upgrade. (only one plating can be purchased)
Shielded Circuitry I: Now able to protect your limbs from being paralyzed temporarily through the usage of electric based attacks.
X-Ray Vision (Object): Able to look through objects and up to one wall at one time. However it doesn't work on objects that contain lead. Because I say so.
Night Vision: You can see clearly even in the darkest of scenery.
Corrective Refraction: Your eyes have the ability to view items at varying distances with clarity. Works both as a microscope for small items and a telescope for far away items.
Advanced Audio Processing: You can filter out sound based on frequency. For example, you can mute: the rumble of traffic, high-pitched whistles, the murmur of a crowd, music, etc).
Advanced Synthskin II: Your synthetic skin, hair, and eyes are now fully programmable, allowing you to change their color without the need for dyes. It takes around an hour for the colors to shift over.
Linked: Allows one cyborg to communicate with another silently. Speaking into another's mind or sending written text to their inner mind's eye, etc. If the other cyborg doesn't have this ability they will only be able to accept messages, they will not be able to return them in the same way.
Translator II (Requires Translator I): You are now capable of not only speaking the Olden Language but those ears of yours may also pickup on tones that normal humans cannot hear; The words of nearby Spirits, ghosts, even gods if they let down their guard.
Solar Energy: (Recharge Upgrade required) Able to use sunlight to improve their performance and lessen the amount of time needed to recharge every 24 hours. On consecutive days of sunshine a Cyborg could go days without needing to recharge at all.
Energy Transfer (Non-Bionics Only): Use some of your energy to recharge a device (such as a battery) or another cyborg. Depending on the amount of energy transferred, you will need to recharge sooner.
Enhanced Strength: You are now capable of displaying strength that is two times as impressive as would a human of your exact same dimensions.
Hydraulic Legs: Enhanced jumping distances. You can now bound over a good ten feet, and land safely from long falls (within reason). Assuming you land on your feet, that is. Note that this does NOT increase your speed.
Propulsion: Need an even faster boost of speed? You are now capable of using thrusters to shoot yourself forward at a much faster rate.
Antivirus II: Retain two cybernetic upgrades of your choice when hacked, and makes two of your senses immune to alteration. All upgrades come back in 1/3 of the time. Ghost possession is more difficult.
Technological Superiority: (Android Only, Requires Hacking I) Disable one additional upgrade for every level of hacking you possess above the target’s Antivirus level (ex- Hacking III vs Antivirus II grants you one additional upgrade to disable).
Advanced Systems I: (Android Only, requires Antivirus I) Hackers cannot gain control of your limbs or alter your senses.
Countervirus: (Requires Antivirus I) Your antivirus launches on the offensive when it detects an enemy presence. When someone attempts to hack you, if they are a cyborg, they are also subject to a hack attempt by you (At a set level of Hacking II). If not, the virus will scramble the device being used- it will not be able to do anything else but carry out the hack until it undergoes a hard reset.
Signal Dampening: (Requires Antivirus I) The range of any remote hacking attempts is reduced to half.
ADvanced ABILITIES
Overdrive (Android Only): (Requires Thermal Plating and Overclocking) Allows you to override safety protocols and go way beyond your limits. This gives you a boost to your abilities (mental and physical). However, your technological advancements protects you more from the dangers of overheating.
Shielded Circuitry II: Now able to protect the brain from very powerful electric based attacks that would normally cause shut down. These will not cause complete shut down, however they can still cause momentary halting.
X-Ray Vision Person (X-Ray Vision Object required): This allows you to use X-Ray vision on a living organism without damaging them. Diseases can be detected but more importantly to some, you can see physically hidden Magi features such as a tail. Not so easy to hide now, is it?
Thermal vision: Lets you to toggle your vision between normal vision and thermal vision, allowing you to detect heat signatures.
Advanced Synthskin II: Your synthetic skin, hair, and eyes are now fully programmable, allowing you to change their color without the need for dyes. It takes around an hour for the colors to shift over.
Nanobots: These little guys exist within you to repair any damage taken to the mechanical portions of the body only.
Pilot (Requires Propulsion): You are now capable of flight using the same thrusters as mentioned above or mechanical wings.
Advanced Kinetic Prediction (Android only): You are able to compute movement much faster than a human could, which helps you predict, and therefore dodge, projectiles and melee attacks more readily.
Antivirus III: Retain four cybernetic upgrades of your choice when hacked. Cannot be subject to total control or LOSS of senses. All upgrades return in 1/5 of the time. Ghost possession is VERY difficult.
Technological Superiority II: (Android Only, requires Technological Superiority I and Hacking II) If the opponent has a countervirus program, its counterattack's Hacking level is reduced by I. Your hacking attempts cannot automatically fail due to Countervirus II.
Advanced Systems II: (Android Only, requires Advanced Systems I) Choose one of your cybernetic upgrades when you purchase this ability. It cannot be targeted by hacking, as outlined in the Proprietary Upgrade ability. This effectively gives you an additional Proprietary Upgrade, but you cannot change the selected upgrade. Choose wisely!
Countervirus II: (Requires Countervirus and Antivirus III) Your countervirus hacks at Hacking III, and all hacking attempts on you have a 20% chance of failing outright (Rolled by staff if you wish. Opponent may reattempt hacks every 5 minutes while the program re-initializes.)
Shielded Circuitry II: Now able to protect the brain from very powerful electric based attacks that would normally cause shut down. These will not cause complete shut down, however they can still cause momentary halting.

Master ABILITIES
Proprietary Upgrade: (Once per character) (Cyborg Upgrade) Choose one cybernetic upgrade when you purchase this ability. This upgrade can never be targeted by hacking. You cannot change which upgrade you pick. Exception: You may purchase this upgrade a second time in order to CHANGE which upgrade gains the benefits (Say you chose propulsion initially but then wanted your thermal vision to be immune- you would have to buy this upgrade again to replace it).
Experimental Tech: (Once per character) (Cyborg Upgrade) Choose one cybernetic upgrade when you purchase this ability. Be it advanced interfacing, experimental technology, or simple skill, you have gained an enhanced version of an existing pre-purchased ability that is above and beyond other upgrades. For example, Propulsion would be faster, or your advanced strength would be even higher, or your thermal vision more precise, or your advanced synthskin able to change in a moment, etc.
