Races (Cybergems)

Races
Some creatures derive the majority of their power from training. These are those creatures.
Humans
Humans are a diverse bunch of mammals, coming in a wide range of colors and facial structures. Many of them care strongly about their physical and cultural differences, and aspire to demonstrate that their breed of Humans is the best. The civilized, bureaucratic Gray Humans, with their imposing cities and disciplined militaries, are particularly arrogant about the superiority of their regimented way of life.
The theocratic Dark Humans, living in the subterranean realms of the Nethergrounds, are quite confident in the unparalleled excellence of their psychics.
The savage Wild Humans in their forest homes know that no other kind of Human observes its surroundings as keenly.
The confident, ambitious Blood Humans of the desert know that their practice of rewarding enterprise over empathy has led them to produce the greatest architectural wonders and finest developments in the field of Orange magic of any type of Human.
Other races are jealous of the Humans' exceptionally long lives: some Humans can live to be over a hundred years old.

JarBrain
A JarBrain is a human brain in a jar, grown that way in vitro.
JarBrains require the Advanced Neural Interfaces and Genetic Programming technologies.

Basic Specialties Stubborn | |
Skills Insight -2 |
The JarBrain has no hands, and communicates with the outside world only through a Bioport. Having grown up with muscle control and sensory processing brain centers connected directly to the internet and/or a vehicle, each JarBrain gets either +1 to Hacking, a +1 to the GD of any vehicle they drive, or +1 to Perception with a sense other than visual or auditory.
Forbidden Options
The JarBrain cannot gain augments or genomorphs other than radar vision, acid blood, water adaptation, thermophile, TEMPEST vision, reactor, neural regulator, acid spit, body electric, deathfrenzy spine, recoil compensator, integrated optics, bioelectric generator, and sonar adaptation.
Synthetic Intelligence
Synthetic Intelligences are computing devices, usually put in control of a vehicle or android form.
Base Stats
Synthetic Intelligences use one of the following forms at a time. Transferring from one form to another takes at least 1 minute.

Race Synthetic intelligence |
Synthetic Intelligences can inhabit the vacated skulls of human bodies, or prosthetic bodies to function as androids.
Synthetic Intelligences have a wireless connection, which may be turned on or off as a standard action. They can connect theirselves directly to systems to get +1 to Hacking, but become exposed to hacking attacks in return. This bonus to hacking does not stack with a Bioport. All of the Synthetic Intelligence's senses and body parts can be manipulated with hacking, including the organic ones.
Without the Advanced AI Technology, the Synthetic Intelligence must be micromanaged as a move action each round. On any round in which it is not micromanaged, it performs its fear response towards the last creature it attacked.
Synthetic Intelligences need to consume at least 1 power per hour in order to continue functioning.

♦ A creature that controls you directly through a bioport, by being an AI, or a similar method may spend actions to make you spend those actions too, using your body to do what they wish. For these actions, use their Expertise class bonuses instead of your own (aside from Ideal Syn-Link itself), and their Extras and Skills instead of your own, but use your own Specialties. |

The sapient wombat has a natural wireless connection which it can turn on or off as a lesser action, that lets them communicate directly with devices like a Bioport, giving them +1 to Hacking (this bonus does not stack with a Bioport). It also has a hypnotic voice that allows it to command dumb animals: as a standard action, it can force a living creature of less than human intelligence to make a Will Save or do as it indicates for 1 minute.
Sapient wombats are extremely smart and can speak.
Rooman
Roomen were crafted by the Wombats as shock troops. Half human, half kangaroos, they were created as a cruel mockery of humanity to instill fear and loathing into the few human survivors of their initial nuclear conquest of Australia.
