Homebrew Vocaloids Species Details
Combination of Vocal and Android, Vocaloids are androids, that typically look and pass for human. They are well known as performers, who never hesitate on a chance to sing and dance to please an audience. While some's voices may sound slightly robotic, they are commonly mistaken as humans. Not many people are fully aware of what they are. Many people believe them to be heartless robots made to entertain people, however they are capable of feeling emotion, and can do everything humans can. Nobody truly knows where these androids came from, and who created them. Vocaloids memories are wiped, so that when they are sent into the world, they only know that they are Vocaloids, and their only true purpose is to sing and make people happy.
Behavior
Vocaloids tend to roam around populated areas. Not many of them are well known and travel the world performing. Most stay and perform locally once they find a town or city that they feel a connection too. They try to blend in with normal people. They are programmed on how the world works (finances, jobs, economy, etc.) and will not hesitate to try to do multiple different jobs to expand their knowledge of the world. They never stop learning. They often travel to different communities to learn about different races and different cultures. They are very peaceful and try to avoid violence, but they will not hesitate to help someone in need. They dont like fighting, but do have plenty of abilities to defend themselves.

Vocaloids Traits
Vocaloids have many abilities that they can use in performances, or in self defense.Alignment
Vocaloids are very peaceful and kind hearted beings. They tend to stick to Lawful Good, Neutral Good, and Chaotic Good.
Age
Being androids, they don't necessarily have a specific age. Their age is really their appearance, as they are designed to look a certain age by their creators.
Most Vocaloids are designed to look above the ages of 1-14. Their voices are also different by Vocaloid.
Appearance
Vocaloids are designed to look like humans. They cannot look like another race unless they use their illusions. Their body type, shape, and skin tones look like normal humans. What is unnatural is their common fascination in brightly colored hair and outfits. They love to wear outfits and hairstyles that are very flashy and energetic.
Every Vocaloid has a number on their body, indicating what number Vocaloid they are. This number looks like a regular tatoo.
Voice
The main feature of a Vocaloid is their voice. They are programmed to sing, and have amazing singing voices. This coupled with their illusions makes for an amazing show at one of their concerts. Their voices can have a few different uses.
* Please note that these has higher effects on creatures with advanced hearing abilities like werewolves, but will have no effect at all on other sonic based creatures, such as Banshees or Sirens.
Sleep
When vocaloids sing slowly and softly, and think about a certain within range of 30 feet, they can put that person to sleep. This can be a very handy tool. This ability has a 60 foot Range, and the sleep will last for up to 8 hours. Vocaloids can wake them up anytime. A maximum of 6 people can be put to sleep at a time. This sleep will last 8 hours, and once it has worn off, anyone who was affected by it will be immune to it for 24 hours after the original sleep has worn off.
Command
Sometimes a Vocaloid voice can be so pleasant that any creatures that are in range of 60 feet, that the vocaloid is focusing on, will loose all willpower and immediately listen to and follow any command given to them by the vocaloid. This trance will last 8 hours, and once it has worn off, anyone who was affected by it will be immune to it for 24 hours after the original trance has worn off. A maximum of 8 people can be controlled at a time.
Emotion
Vocaloid's singing voices can impact and sometimes even change the emotions someone is feeling. This can be used to make someone happy when they are sad, make them brave when they are scared, or give them energy when they are tired. Thus can also be used to scare away anyone who is trying to cause harm. Their emotional change lasts 4 hours. A maximum of 3 people can be affected at one time.
Scream
As a last resort, Vocaloids will build up all their energy to release a sonic burst of their voice, affecting anyone or anything within 30 feet in front of them. Anything fragile (glass, ceramics, natural ice) will shatter instantly. If items like concrete or metal are in the way, they can sometimes shatter, bend, or break, but it takes a long time to do. The creatures in front of them must make a Constitution saving throw. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 psychic damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level, 4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.This ability will also cause temporary hearing loss to anyone within 10 feet of them that lasts at a maximum, 3 hours. There is no maximum to how many people are affected, they just have to be within 30 feet of you.
This can also be used to deflect or break projectiles (bullets, arrows, etc.) It will have no effect on magic based projectiles.
Sound Manipulation
Vocaloids can quiet or amplify any sounds within 1 mile of them. They can also make it so only certain people can hear certain sounds. This can be useful for giving private information in public settings.
Android
Due to their Android nature, Vocaloids have many abilities that are at their disposal
I.C
I.C stands for "Internal Computer" and does exactly what it sounds like it does. It has an infinite memory core, and has access data banks, the Internet, and can even hack any other electronic device with a thought. The larger and more secure the device is, the harder it is to hack. Roll your classes hit die to see if you successfully hack the device or not. You can also plant viruses on devices. Once you hack a device, you instantly absorb all data into your memory core.
Eyes
You have artificial eyes that have built in cameras, with infared vision. You can scan objects and it will immediately go to your I.C, and it will find what the object is online, and you also have perfect, in color darkvision up to 120 feet.
Ears
You have advanced hearing up to 80 feet. You can perfectly hear every sound, and all sounds go to your I.C, and they will analyze the sounds, and pinpoint where the sound is coming from, and what it is.
Skin
You have artificial skin, that can deflect bullets, however arrows, knives, and other bladed weapons will pierce you.The fake skin immediately repairs any cuts in itself. However your head is completely invulnerable, to protect the I.C
Predictions
When in combat, the I.C will analyze your combatant's attack patterns, and will make an educated guess on what they will do next. 75% of the time, this will be correct, allowing you to doge or counterattack. This is most useful in melee combat, as magic and sorcery is much harder to analyze scientifically.
Inhuman Stats
As an Android, you have advanced strength, agility, and mind. You get a +1 on Wisdom, a +2 on Strength, and +3 on both Intelligence and Dexterity.
Illusions
Vocaloids can project life like illusions anywhere within 300 feet of them. This ability is mainly used in performances, to add lights and effects. This is not as useful in combat, but can still be useful. You can also project anything you have seen or heard. These illusions can produce light and sound. In performances, you can use them to light up the stage, add effects to your performance, create digital dancers for your performances, or create other music. The only use it has in combat is releasing a blast of light to temporarily blind your enemies.
This can also be used to instantly change outfits or hairstyles. You can use it to look like a different race or person, but it is difficult, as those illusions dispel quickly.
