#selfaware — Public Fediverse posts

I recently shared a post calling out mystics, trying to fill spaces I deflate, but I am self-aware enough that I can be guilty, too.

Listen.

I know I've been making a lot of wild claims and manifesting all over the place, leaving Mastodon a Jackson Pollock painting of my sudden opinions on everything from metaphysics to the arcseconds a dominion can turn her leg doing a pirouette on the head of a pin needle.

I'm not saying anyone should be concerned, I'm just saying the more I start to look like one of William James's model subjects at the turn of the 20th century, the more concerned I get. 🤪

Digital Being PC inhabiting a Medallion Disc

Ink Art from page 73 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

This device looks like some sort of art déco style piece of ancient jewelry. 2 in 6 will feature genuine gold and silver decorative elements, and of these, 1 in 6 will also be fitted with gemstones which double the buy or sell price. They are very much like palm disks and feature the same chance of a potential add-on. Because they are worn on a stainless steel or leather necklace, they can often be slipped beneath a wearer’s clothing — although doing so blocks the digital being’s visual receptors unless the fabric is specially punctured or of a mesh material.

You can play these digital beings using the new rule book.

Wristwatch Projector
Ink Art from page 72 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules

Besides being an excellent projector that allows hands free use, this watch can also be worn under the wearer’s armor to better protect it — although anything blocking the topside projection emitter will stop the holographic image from appearing, seeing its surroundings or launching its shock generator or most other apps — yet the digital being can still verbally interact with the wearer.

Digital Beings go up in rank like any other character, however because they have a few features that physical characters do not, they use their own Rank Gain matrix shown below. If this character inhabits a cyborg, android or robotic body, then these bodies also grow stronger, adapts, and improves through adventuresome exploits, and therefore also go up in rank according to their type. See the section on Digital Being Starting Container or Body on the next page for which containers and body types are eligible to go up in rank.

Android Special Features
From the book: “As a character, a unique android will have random traits, skills, implants and potential features according to the tables that follow. All androids can read, write and do math. At first, androids can appear to be complex, hard to generate characters based on the extensive amount of PC creation material presented on the next 29 pages, however, creating one is really quite simple and involves one or more rolls on each of the tables to follow.”

Android Handedness

Androids, especially advanced or physically active varieties, have a much higher likelihood of being ambidextrous than human or mutant human characters do. Roll 1d10 on the following table at character generation, however, medical, technician, scientific and military android categories all gain +2 on the following 1d10 roll.



Table XR-51/ Android Handedness, Roll 1d10

1-3. Left Handed

4-9. Right Handed

10+. Ambidextrous

Android’s Hair

Androids normally come standard with stitched on nylon wigs, although many military models are entirely bald.

Sensory Capabilities of Unique Androids: Sight

At the minimum, unique androids have all the same sensory receptors as pure stock humans, but often one or more of these senses are heightened or exhibit additional capabilities.

Space Force Android
These well built, advanced androids were used as security and boarding troops during operations aboard space stations and vessels, as well as deposited on the ground on moons, asteroid mines, and other planets such as Mars.

Pilot Military Android

Built light, agile, and of higher intelligence than most other androids, these units were made in the both male and female patterns in about equal numbers — and often with enhanced appearance. While civilian android co-pilots were used in old world airlines and inter-city hover transports, primary piloting was done by trusted human operators after several infamous incidents where Mecha corrupted air crews took over flights. For the military, however, the use of android pilots was acceptable — at least in the early years of the End Time Wars.

Tanker Military Android

Although tough, these drivers of ancient armored vehicles were built smaller, more agile and better able to fit into, and move around inside many old world vehicles. While nearly all such ancient tanks, armored personnel carriers and battle trucks have long since been destroyed — or else their fuel supply long since dried up — many of these lean, highly skilled ‘tankers’ survived the ancient wars. These soldiers spread across the world and now survive however they can.

Heavy Combat Military Android

Once widely deployed on the sides of Mecha and human factions of old, their large size made them stand out, and so receive unwanted attention and multiple incoming rounds. Few of these brutes now walk the twisted world of The Mutant Epoch, but those that do are much feared, well respected, and incredibly valuable assets to any wasteland warlord or dig team. They stand at least a foot (30cm) taller than a large man, are broad of chest and shoulder and have enormous, cable knotted muscles

Grunt Military Android

By far these are the most common military androids ever made, and easily the most frequently discovered variant in the post-apocalyptic new era. Built solid, with access to plenty of spare parts from all those of their classification who fell in long ago battles, they exhibit an ideal balance of ruggedness, speed and talent to bring the hurt to the enemy. Unique specimens of this type make for exceptional excavators and can appear as males or females, are always modeled after well built human specimens of larger than average size.

Sniper Military Android

As their name implies, these stealthy, modestly sized units appear as males or females of exceptional fitness, although not large and so are more easily able to blend in with a civilian population. Masters of camouflage, concealment and marksmanship, these deadly units make for exceptional new era excavators.

Industrial Android
Considered as little more than human shaped forklifts, dumb brutes, and expendable machines of the factory floor, these laborers were however built tough. Besides their strength, robustness and compulsion to work hard, many unique specimens feature one or more useful traits and skills. Besides the fore mentioned attributes, these bulky, typically metal boned humanoid machines are rugged enough to hold their own in a post-apocalyptic world. They normally appear as males but both genderless and female specimens are also found.

Homeless and Addiction Outreach Officer (HAOO) Android
As machines took human jobs, and drugs and synth-alcohol became cheaper and more prevalent, people found themselves on the streets. Strangely, it was machines who also came to tend to the victims of addiction and homelessness.

Criminal Construct Android: This unit was made to look like some other common model, and in most cases uses the frame of a personal companion android. It was, however, upgraded and customized by either revolutionaries, insurgent forces, political outcasts, or common criminals. As far as being a civilian android character in the Epochian age, this is the most practical model for a post-apocalyptic world.
