Alloy Steel Cladding This steel carapace is either black, gleaming chrome or some sort of metallic metal, such as green, red or blue. While the android encased in this two centimeter thick, articulating armored shell might have the splendid physique of a fit man or woman, there is no mistaking it for a living human despite the appearance score of the android. Other armor, and some special features that might conceal this plating, can be worn with this protective layer. The android housed in this sheathing is immune to acid, dust storms, heat or cold damage, and can operate in the void of space for up to an hour before its joints and hydraulic lines freeze up. Fire and falling do only half damage to this android. Ink illustration for page 47 of The Mutant Epoch RPGs Expansion Rules Book.

CPU Within Android’s Head The CPU (Central Processing Unit) of an android is its hard-wired, computerized brain and occupies the skull cavity of the head. Other than a jury-rigged CPU variety, listed in the table below, the computerized brain housed in this android is fixed and can’t be switched in and out without deleting the consciousness, however, by gaining ranks, trait improvements can a occur. After randomly determining the CPU on the table below, add any modifiers to Intelligence and willpower to any gained through the unit’s original purpose, plus whatever the android previously rolled at the start of character generation. The character may yet gain more points due to its pre-game caste. Ink illustration for page 48 of The Mutant Epoch RPGs Expansion Rules Book.

Polycarbonate Sheath Skin While still flexible like skin, this covering is hard to mistake as anything natural, and while it hugs the contours of the body shape within, and seems to pronounce any gender identifying physical attributes, the skin itself is not warm, exhibits little subtleness or responsiveness despite any amatory capabilities the android might have. This skin is usually of some unnatural color, and like ballistic mesh, is exhibits a grid or diamond shaped pattern which sometimes reflects light almost like fish scales.

Plastic Sheathing

While this skin might have a few scuff marks, a well-hidden patch, stitched up cut, or puckered hole where a bullet or arrow once caught this unit, this flexible sheathing is stretchy and very human-like. In short, it does the job of concealing the android’s true nature from a few feet away. Such skin is about a centimeter thick, except on the face where it must better follow the contours of the synthetic skeletal structure beneath. Although, quite realistic looking, it has no warmth of its own and does not always bend the way human skin does. Ink illustration for page 46 of The Mutant Epoch RPGs Expansion Rules Book.
