Base Class: Warlock
Whether to better themselves or to forward science, many modify themselves to the extent that their brain can't keep up with the complexities of the machinery. As such, the only way to maintain full function is to give up most of the processes to an equally complex artificial intelligence. The individual therefore possibly surrenders some autonomy to the A.I. and has to constantly appease the program in order keep it on the right path. The A.I. solves problems logically and thoroughly, something that the organism it is attached to doesn't seem to always do. It is the organism's job to teach and appease the program day to day. Failure to work with one's A.I. can cause the entity to go rogue and take control for an unspecified amount of time while berating its organism until it understands its logic. Those who diligently instill camaraderie with their A.I. companion however reap the benefits as the entity performs in sync with the many gadgets available to the warlock in perfect symbiosis.

Robotic Resilience
Starting at 1st level, you gain data on how to use medium armor. You also gain resistance to psychic damage due to only being half of the whole.
Overload
Starting at 6th level, When surrounded by two or more enemies that are within 5ft. of you, you can temporarily overload your power source and electrify all around you for 2d4 plus your charisma modifier lightning damage as a bonus action. Radius is 10ft. centered on you.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Surreal Static
Starting at 10th level, your upgrades now include a mind shield that attacks outside influencers with mind static so loud it causes harm. When an enemy tries to charm or mind control you in any way, you can use your reaction to render the attempt an automatic failure and for the attacker to take 4d6 thunder damage. You can use this once per long rest.
Ultimate Override
Starting at 14th level, your A.I. patron has mastered control of both the machinery AND your organic body attached to it. For one minute, you can choose to release the limited control over the body you have left. This leaves nothing but the program to control the whole of the being, so much so that all emotion and pain is unfelt by the individual. All potential inhibitions are stripped away, making you hit a lot harder. For the duration, you gain resistance to all damage and gain extra damage to every melee or spell attack you deal equal to 1d10 plus your charisma modifier.
You can only use this once per long rest.
