Bioroid

Bioroids bleed, have to eat and drink, get fatigued when they don’t sleep, and function largely like humans. And this makes a lot of people nervous.
Bioroids are vat-grown humans who have a computer system installed in their brain pan. Most often used as replacement bodies for dubs, they’ve seen some serious negative press in the last couple years. After a series of murders that were linked to bioroids with faulty dubbing, human-looking bioroids were made illegal in most countries. However, bioroids marked with a matrix barcode genetically grafted to their skin somewhere (the shoulder or back of the neck are standard placements) are still allowed in many countries (most notably Japan)

Special Rules

EMP Vulnerability: Bioroids suffer full damage from EMP weapons.
Dual Processors: Bioroids start with a d6 in Smarts.
Marked or Secret: At character creation, the player needs to decide whether his bioroid is marked or not.
If he is marked, he gains the Outsider Hindrance, suffering a −2 Charisma penalty with people who view bioroids with suspicion or as “just a machine”.
Unmarked bioroids have the Secret (Major) Hindrance. Unmarked bioroids are illegal, and can be arrested or executed if they’re discovered.
Primary Protocol: Bioroids begin with a free d6 in one skill, representing their core operating system.
