Judd Nelson's character lives at the Baltimore Hotel - 501 South Los Angeles Street - in the film Relentless (1989).

The shots of him sticking his head out the window, however, were filmed across the street at another sordid SRO, the Kind Edward Hotel.

This corner was used frequently as a filming location throughout the 1970s and 1980s, especially in cop shows.

Space Diddy's Pose Variants

Some Taffeta, SAKI and Cameran variants from Space Diddy's, which didn't get to be shown off as much in the series.

Taffy with play credit card and gamer girl controller, mage hand, and preparing for grenade toss.

SAKI battle pose, shocked, cute, drunk, love, sad, nervous emotes.

Also these Eneer Kau and Isaiah 1:17 poses based on the first Starfinder games starting at Incident at Absalom Station. These didn't end up getting used due to cast changes. Had a colourization scheme set up for the photon (orange) and graviton (blue) attunements. And also here's a Cameran in the v1.0 colour scheme.

Robotic Improvement Mechanic (Mechanic Alternate Class Feature)

(art by Varguy on DeviantArt)

A funny thing about robots is that, regardless of their level of sapience, repairing them, or even modifying them, is relatively simple since they don’t have to usually worry about things like shock, blood loss, or rejection. The potential for machine modding is so interesting that there have been several video game franchises and toy lines (including model hobbyists) centered around cobbling together robots from parts to make all sorts of creations. From Custom Robo to the customizable Rock-em Sock-em Robots action figures of the late 90’s early 2000’s, to the entirety of Gunpla.

Now, Starfinder already has the drone option for your mechanic characters giving you an option for having your own customizable robot buddy, but what if your character is a robot?

Whether they are androids, SROs, holograms, or even obscure robotic sapients like amrantahs and trinirs, there is nothing stopping a mechanically-minded robotic being from turning their expertise to modifying themselves.

This can be for several reasons, anything from defying the expectations put on them by their base chassis to practical modifications for their job. This is supported in the fluff of the setting too, with SROs in particular often barely resembling their original form when they awakened to sapience, and both SROs and Androids have options for installing bonus equipment into their bodies. It only makes sense that they and other machines would take this further, modifying themselves at they see fit.

And with that, let’s get into it!

Essentially, this option replaces the normal AI that mechanics work with for applying drone mods directly to yourself, granting yourself extra powers. Your body is treated as a specific done chassis for the purpose of prerequisites, but otherwise you are free to pick not just mods, but also feats drawn from the list of those available to drones, with the only exceptions being any mods that do not make sense for you to have, such as the drone providing medical aid to their owner, or transforming into a wearable apparatus for said owner, or any mod that would put you out of commission for using it, like the one that dumps your energy reserves into an electrical attack that renders the drone unpowered. As the mechanic gains mastery, they can change out their mods and feats as well.

This option is super simple, granting the player drone mods instead of their pet, but it is extremely flavorful and appropriate for any robotic playable species. You can pretty much treat these mechanics as almost pseudo-evolutionists, adding mods alongside augmentations to add abilities and enhance their bodies towards their build as needed. Want to wield multiple heavy weapons at once? Load up on weapon mounts. Want gadgets for every situation, load up on utility mods and augments, and so on!

The entire vibe of this option being about the character deciding for themselves what they want to look like and be able to do speaks heavily to transgender and transhumanist themes, and I can see a lot of folks exploring themselves through playing a robotic character exploring their own identity. Or maybe you just wanna be a cool robot with a plasma gun built into your arms. Either or both is good.

Survivors of the Rustracket tribe tell tales of how their former chief’s “new killbot” suddenly went on a rampage, slaughtering them and stealing their best scrap to incorporate into their own body. The goblins want revenge and are willing to pay others to get it, but keen-eyed hunters will notice evidence that the machine has been stripping away perfectly good armor and replacing it again and again, as if testing what appearance it likes. Perhaps there is more to this machine than a mechanical monstrosity?

Already a rarity as an android built to resemble an ijtikri, Valence-34 has never felt satisfied with their cephalopodic form, and has taken to modifying themselves repeatedly, to the point their employer is becoming concerned. She has called for a specialist in android psychology, who has hired the party to ferry them their.

Wheeler the SRO has been bartender and part-time mechanic for the Kalia Jo, a spacecraft turned orbital flotilla bar for decades now, doing odd-jobs to keep the ramshackle station of cobbled-together ships running in his rusty, antique chassis. None realize, however, that this is not his original job, nor his original form, as he was once an assassin robot before awakening.
