MERCY
Sorry this has been delayed but life, specifically my normal day job, has been really busy, to the point where I've been working on the weekends.
'Astro General', more properly known as Astro Station Hospital Asclepius-1, is a massive starfaring medical facility owned and operated by the Galactic Federation Council for Physical and Mental Well-being (aka GFC Medical). It is the largest and most advanced such structure in known space specifically dedicated to healing and the medical sciences.
The station employs over 5,000 Doctors, 10,000 Nurses and Medical Support Staff, and can handle over 20,000 Patients. Part of their ability to do so much is thanks to the inclusion of 10,000 Medical Assistance Cyberoids, more commonly referred to as 'Nurse MACs'.
What's a Cyberoid you ask? My apologies; a Cyberoid is an artificially engineered organism that has had mechanical components added to it afterwards.Imagine the Replicants from Blade Runner. Now imagine giving one of them Bionic Leg.
Here we have one such individual, Nurse MAC-Ann.
As you can see, Nurse MAC-Ann has all the usual attributes of mainline Cyberoids: an attractive appearance [relative to the species of their manufacturer], an athletic body design, and easily identified by her distinctive uniform. This particular model does eat, sleep, and excret but only 25% as much as a natural Human does.
In addition, she has a number of key enhancements such as:
Disinfecting Mist Breathing Aerosol Unit, Medical Diagnostic Computer in Brain, Medical Scanner Eyes, and Physical Strength and Speed Augments.
Like all Nurse MACs, Ann is skilled at both General, Emergency, and Contamination Medical procedures. If she has an area of expertise it is in dealing with effects of chemical poisons, animal venoms, and other toxins. This also comes with a personal fascination with such things which juxtaposes oddly with her looks and perky, bright demeanor.
Doctor Heroine is what I started with as an Archetype but I made a couple of modifications to it in order to accomodate her being an 'Andville' biological android with cybernetics. This is definitely a case where I had to massage the rules a bit to get the mechanics to match my vision of the character but honestly, not as much as I expected I'd need to.
Nurse MAC-Ann's Physical Augmentations to Strength and Agility last one scene or combat sequence once 'activated'. Following this, Ann experiences Fatigue and all physical activity rolls are at -2 until she is able to recharge (spend at least 1 hour at a Cybernetics Charging Station). The Augmentation boost effects MAC-Ann's Strength and Agility Attributes and Action Points but does not change her Durability. That is already permanently modified by being a Cyberoid. She 'comes with' Armor A of 1 and B of 1 and does not where any actually Armor.
Whew. OK. Sorry again that this took so long. Onward!
