Sheathing is the skin encasement around the android’s body and face — at least where obvious cybernetic implants are not affixed. A unique android might start game play with the most advanced alloy cladding, a more typical plastic sheathing, or be unlucky and have no covering at all and all its servo motors, wiring, pistons and underlying skeletal frame exposed. Androids start with a base defense value of 0 (zero) just like a human character, however apply any agility modifiers, sheathing mods, or skill-based changes after the character is created. Sheathing, or a lack thereof, also affects the endurance trait of the android so record any endurance amount added or subtracted when establishing a sheathing type, as this amount can change when skin is added or removed. Only one sheathing type can be adhered to the android at any given time. Ink illustration for page 46 of The Mutant Epoch RPGs Expansion Rules Book.

What’s your android character’s skeleton made from? Got a ten sided dice? Roll 1d10 Skeletal Material 1-4. Plastic boned 5,6. Mixed plastic and aluminum bones 7. Aluminum bones 8.

While this skin might have a few scuff marks, a well-hidden patch, stitched up cut, or puckered hole where a bullet or arrow once caught this unit, this flexible sheathing is stretchy and very human-like. In short, it does the job of concealing the android’s true nature from a few feet away. Such skin is about a centimeter thick, except on the face where it must better follow the contours of the synthetic skeletal structure beneath. Although, quite realistic looking, it has no warmth of its own and does not always bend the way human skin does. Ink illustration for page 46 of The Mutant Epoch RPGs Expansion Rules Book.

While still flexible like skin, this covering is hard to mistake as anything natural, and while it hugs the contours of the body shape within, and seems to pronounce any gender identifying physical attributes, the skin itself is not warm, exhibits little subtleness or responsiveness despite any amatory capabilities the android might have. This skin is usually of some unnatural color, and like ballistic mesh, is exhibits a grid or diamond shaped pattern which sometimes reflects light almost like fish scales.
