Homebrew Exo Species Details
Exos were constructed with as wide a range of physical variation as exists in natural human bodies. Since many people converted to Exos to serve as soldiers before the Collapse, the averages skew slightly toward leaner, taller bodies. However, Exos exist with almost every body type and stature found in human populations. Their external surfaces do not attempt to mimic skin, but Exos’ cladding exhibits a dazzling diversity of coloration and design. Its components may be assembled in almost any pattern that generally conforms to the underlying musculature, and finished with any coloration. Some Exos maintain subdued hues for a sleek, understated look, but many adopt bright splashes of brilliant color to accent their faces, or even cover their whole bodies in raucous patterns. Cranial configuration and facial features, far from being standardized, were constructed with immense variety, resulting in an individually distinct face for every Exo
Exo Traits
Exos share certain traits and abilities as a result of commonalities in their construction.Age
To all outside observation, Exos are ageless. However, Exos whose minds have been reset many times exhibit symptoms of senility.
Language
Exo vocal modulators are not simple speakers, but sophisticated electromechanical organs capable of producing all the sounds of human language. You can speak, read, and write City common.
Darkvision
Exo optical sensors are tuned to the human visible spectrum by default, but can also perceive additional wavelengths to achieve superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 30 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.
Living Machine
Even though you are a machine, your mind and much of the functionality of your body is no different from the average human. As such, you are considered a living creature, and you appear on scanners as one. You are immune to disease. You do not need to eat or drink, but you can if you want to. You do still need to sleep each day, but you typically only sleep for 4–6 hours, gaining the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep when you do. During your sleep, you sometimes experience dreams that feel like snatches of memory. In these dreams, you witness hideous, never-ending battles in dark, lifeless places, and see yourself fighting in them. Many other Exos have described similar dreams, and the experience, though unsettling, is considered normal.
