SILHOUETTES
A silhouette is a remote-controlled cybernetic body similar in appearance and functional abilities to a cybernetic avatar. Unlike an avatar, a silhouette is designed for short excursions and not as a permanent host for a ghost.
Silhouettes have many practical applications and are most often put to use when the risk of true death is high or your encephalon cyberdeck would be left somewhere unrecoverable. Silhouettes are popular options for miners, soldiers, emergency personnel, ambassadors, jobs in the void, and blood sport participants. It also not uncommon for those who can afford the luxury of having several mission specific silhouettes.
SILHOUETTE GAME STATISTICS
Silhouettes are identical to the _About Cybernetic Avatars with the following exceptions;
- Silhouettes are 25% cheaper than the list price for an Avatar because they do not include a complete set of the biological systems.
- Due to a lack of biological systems a silhouette can only operate at peak efficiency for a number of hours equal to its item level. The silhouette gains a negative level each hour it operates beyond its normal operational limit. When the number of negative levels equals the silhouette’s item level it ceases to function.
- Silhouettes must be recharged for 8 hours between uses to operate at peak efficiency. Safety mechanisms in the silhouette’s circuitry prevent it from coming back online prior to a full recharge. This protection mechanism can be overridden with a successful Computers sill check (DC = 13 + item level of the silhouette). A silhouette brought back online with less than 4 hours of recharge activates with negative levels equal to the silhouette’s item level -1 and gains 1 negative level per hour of additional operation. A silhouette with more than 4 hours of recharge but less than 8 activates with 1 negative level and gains an additional negative level each hour of operation. When a silhouette’s negative levels equal it’s item level it shuts down.
- Every silhouette is equipped with a wreck deck.
- The lack of vital organs grants all silhouettes 20% fortification against critical hits. This fortification does not stack with fortification from other sources.
- Silhouettes have 2 torso augmentation slots.
