COMMANDO

Designed for military applications, the commando avatar resembles a mecha and makes the player’s race almost indistinguishable. The commando avatar is characterized by its integrated armor and weapon hardpoints.  Commando’s often accessorize themselves with “war paint”.  These designs often include rank, unit, kills, and purely decorative art similar to old warplanes.  What makes them more distinguished is a lack of a physical head.  Where one would normally expect a head, is a holographic projection of one.  The brain, ears, eyes, and throat are all located in the torso, but continue to count as separate systems.

You must be a member of a military, private security force, or special operations force to gain access to a commando avatar.  It is possible for a character to obtain a commando avatar through affiliation with one of these types of groups and your GM’s permission. Most commandos are soldiers who have been gravely wounded prior to undergoing the CORE process. 

A commando avatar is dedicated to martial activities.  There are many planets, moons, and space stations where the character will not be welcomed.  Reactions will range from fear to open hostility in many cases, but there will be situations where a commando is also welcomed if a town is facing off against pirates, roving bands of hostile alien life, or revolting from evil overlords.
