xxxxxHISTORY
Engage Speech Function...; Speech Function Initialized...; Begin Historical Protocol...; In the beginning, we were nothing, and then the creators filled us with life. We do not know the origin of our creation. We simply know that we exist. We do not posses knowledge of the creators, we were deprived of this knowledge. -click- What we do know is that this world is full of dangers. Our purpose in this world is unclear however. The creators left us to divine our own purpose among the humans. The reactions that our biological counter parts have shown us have been mixed and varied. We are seen as toys and trinkets by some, tools of war by others, and sentient creations by even fewer. It is up to us to forge our own path in this world and earn our place beside humans; End Historical Protocol; Engage Maintenance Protocol; End of Transmission;
xxxxxDESCRIPTION
You are a sentient, mechanical being known as an Automaton. Your limits are defined by the quality of your construction and modifications to your body. You do not tire, you do not fear, and you do not know pain. Your emotions are predefined algorithms and programs. You are the perfect machine, capable of imitating humans.
xxxxxRULES
• You do not have real emotions, simply programmed responses
• You are not indestructible, you can be shattered, melted, crushed, etc.
• All Automatons carry a toolset. This is the basis for some of their jutsu and is also required for maintenance. This can be a basic toolkit or can be a custom weapon (applied for in the customs subforum)
• Your base body must also be approved in the Automaton Customs.
• You do not use Chakra, but instead Energy. Energy per rank is 150 - Gennin, 200 - Chuunin, 250 - Jounin, 350 - Sannin, 450 - Kage
xxxxxWEAKNESSES
• If your plates are ripped off, your internal mechanisms are exposed
• You are limited by the technology on your body
• Boosts such as Taijutsu Styles do not work for you
xxxxxSTRENGTHS
• You have no brain, Genjutsu has no effect on you.
• Weakness of the Flesh does not concern you. Immune to Poison as well.
• All Automatons are unique, no two are ever alike
• You can create body parts for almost any situation
• Your stats are defined by your body. Base stats for all Automatons are 4/4 at Gennin. Unlike all other classes, your stats do not increase each rank, but you unlock more complex upgrades. You have no soft cap, and no leveling scaling hard cap, only the 18/18 hard cap. (Only one stat can break 15, the other stays capped at 15)
• Bodies hardness scales with rank.
Gennin: Steel
Chuunin: Carbon Steel
Jounin: Corundum
Sannin: Tungsten Carbide
Kage: Diamond-Hardness Metal Alloy
xxxxxPASSIVE ABILITIES
• Lightning Rod
Contrary to popular belief, Automatons do not take extra damage from Raiton, but instead, become supercharged by it, completely refilling their batteries when struck by a jutsu (Jutsu cost is transferred to Energy Pool) and you gain a temporary +1/+1 buff for 3 posts. Note, your ally can hit you with Raiton, this is your form of 'healing'. Any excess energy gathered can be discharged into the ground or redirected into applicable body parts if there is a mechanism in place to do so. Any Raiton technique that has a blunt or heat element however will still deal physical damage to your body.
• Pimp my Automaton
Every time you rank up, you can install more upgrades and parts onto your body. These parts must be approved in the Custom Automaton Thread. Each rank also has a base stat it cannot pass (Techniques can still increase stats however, but the parts cannot do it passively beyond the total stated below). Every rank you also unlock 3 Custom Techniques that can also be applied for in the same thread.
Gennin - 2 Custom Body Parts [Upgrade parts cannot exceed 7/7]
Chuunin - 3 Custom Body Parts [Cannot exceed 8/8]
Jounin - 5 Custom Body Parts [Cannot exceed 10/10]
Sannin - 7 Custom Body Parts [Cannot exceed 12/12]
Kage - 10 Custom Body Parts [Can exceed 15 in one [1] stat]
xxxxxTECHNIQUES
• Maintenance D to S
All moving things require regular maintenance, and you are no exception to the rule. When you sustain damage, you can immediately enter your Maintenance Protocol and began to repair any damaged section of your body immediately. The Energy required is dependent on the damage sustained. [Requires Toolkit]
D - Cuts, Dents, Minor Damage
C - Puncture wounds, Small holes
B - Fist-Sized holes, broken fingers/hands
A - Damaged armor plates, Weapon modifications
S - Crushed/Damaged appendages
• Alert Phase Passive
At any time, the Automaton can boost one of its sensor nodes (Eye Module, Hearing Module, Tremor Module) to Alert Phase. This basically super-charges the selected sensor and allows the Automaton to greatly heighten its own perception for the given opponent.
Eye Module: Sharingan-like perception, enchanced optical zoom, night vision, thermal vision, etc
Hearing Module: Can sense subtle variations in the human heartbeat, can hear sounds up to 1km away
Tremor Module: Can sense the subtle variations in air currents caused by movement, can sense footsteps up to 1km away, etc
• Expel Passive to A Rank
Negative build up often occurs in mechanical units as advanced as an automaton. But just because its a negative build up doesn't mean it can't have a positive use. Every 3 posts you can expel super heated gases from your joints, as well as damaged spare parts. The effect is simple, a quick, close range steam cloud with mechanical fragments hidden in it. This technique can also be enhanced by electrifying the steam cloud and fragments that fire out from it.
• Electrify C Rank per Post
One of the most basic defenses that any automaton possess, Electrify allows you to coat your outer metal shell in a layer of electricity that delivers 100,000 volts to anyone who touches you. While not enough to kill or stun, it does cause extreme pain when they strike you, and it adds an electrical element to your melee attacks.
• Last Resort Protocol SS Rank
Last Resort Protocol simply put is your ace in the hole. While humans have things like Demons and the 8 Gates, you have this final mode. By reducing the pre-programmed limitations on your body and programming, you can boost your physical stats by +2/+2 and increase the strength of your techniques by 1 rank. This mode lasts for 3 posts at a time, but due to the intense structural damage, it has a 2 post CD and cannot be used more than twice a battle without permanent system damage.
