Cybertronian (Transformers)

Cost: 10 SP

You are now a Cybertronian, a type of technological organism native to the planet Cybertron. While larger and smaller specimens exist, you have a standard body plan, ranging from 3 to 10 m in height. Unlike normal machines, Cybertronians are composed of a type of living metal known as sentio metallico, giving them a self-replicating cellular structure and genetic code, like most organic life forms, and are powered by a rarified energon core known as a Spark. In addition to being remarkably durable, having natural lifespans typically lasting millions of years, their most notable feature is the ability to take on an alternate mode; typically, this is some sort of vehicle, though other forms, such as weapons, other machines, and even animals, are not uncommon. While you can only have one alternate mode at any given time, sentio metallico is highly malleable, and taking on a new one is as simple as scanning something else, allowing you to blend into your environment easily. You also have the ability to project a holomatter avatar, a hard light construct which can emulate the appearance of a human (or whatever the dominant species on your current planet happens to be), either to better interact with humans, or simply so you don't look like you're going around without a driver in vehicle mode.
