Somehow, despite your robotic nature lending you greater patience than a fleshy person, the military still managed to make waiting around annoying. They seemed to have timing locked down in the very small period of time where it was long enough to bring you to boredom, but short enough where entering standby mode would be a waste of time. Just as you're getting the irrational urge to fidget, the countdown for the drop starts.
"Dropping in 5. 4. 3. 2. Drop."
You drop right on time and hit atmosphere almost instantly. The friction of re-entry quickly ignites the air around the pod, causing a hellish heat and intense, rough rumbling. Not only that, but without any stabilization systems, your spherical pod begins to spin wildly, faster and faster, out of control. All that, plus the g-forces involved, take a rough toll on the body. Many of your fellow soldiers are probably already unconscious and you don't doubt that the weakest among them will die soon, their bodies unable to take the stress.
You are, quite literally, made of sterner stuff though, and you're hardly bothered at all. Your body isn't made of flesh and blood, but metal, and you could probably handle atmospheric re-entry even without a pod. You lack a digestive system to get nauseous and your internal gyroscopes prevent any sort of disorientation or dizziness. Your body even has the heat-shielding that the drop pod lacks, and while everyone else is burning up under the sweltering conditions inside the pod, you only feel slightly warmer than usual. The only issue is the noise. As an Android, your audio sensors are a couple of orders of magnitude more sensitive than the galactic standard for hearing. While the other soldiers' ears are probably going to be ringing for a while, you risk permanent damage to your sensors with the noise, not to mention that it's just. Fucking. Loud. So you turn them off and relax for the rest of the fall.
That's probably why when something slams into your pod, knocking it off course, you're completely caught off-guard. You didn't see anything coming, and with your audio sensors turned off, you didn't hear it coming either. You turn them back on briefly, checking to see if you can hear what attacked you, but it's no use. Not only can you hear almost nothing over the intense racket of your pod shaking, but the emergency alarms are blaring now too, making even more noise. You turn your sensors off once more and this time you don't turn them back on until after you've crashed.
Smashing the alarm to turn off that annoying alarm, you don't pop the door of your pod just yet. Taking advantage of the relative safety of the pod, you run a quick system diagnostic, checking if you suffered any damage from the mid-air impact or the crash landing. The results come up green for you general systems and your body doesn't seem injured at all, so you move onto your more special systems.
Pick Three.
[] Hidden Blades - A pair of extendable blades, two and a half feet long, housed in the backs of your wrists. When extended, they provide a sharper option than your fists, extend your reach and look damn cool.
[] Hand Blaster - One of your hands is capable of shifting into a basic energy blaster and back again. Powered by your internal battery, it will never run out of charge, but it doesn't have any additional features or modes.
-[] Charged Blast - An upgrade of the basic blaster, this allows you to charge shots for a more powerful attack.
[] Rocket Boots - A bit of a misnomer, considering you don't wear boots and they're built into your feet, these rockets allow you to fly. As rockets do. While not as quick, quiet or precise as the energy based flight of the more powerful Freeza soldiers, they certainly lend you added mobility.
[] Basic Energy Sensor - Basically, you've got a scouter built into your head. And just like the standard scouter, it allows you to measure the power level of your opponents, although it can't track low power levels over large distances and extremely high power levels may cause it to overload.
[] Multi-Arm System- Sometimes an Android needs to multi-task, and this system aids that. You have the ability to split your arms into three, granting you a total of six possible limbs. While split, each limb is slightly weaker than when whole, so be careful not to damage them.
[] Personal Hologram - A series of tiny holographic projectors built into your body that allow you to create a holographic disguise for yourself. Programmable with any image you desire, you can uses this to hide your non-organic nature, blend in with locals and even make yourself look like specific people. Note that the holograms are not solid and will be disrupted by physical objects.
[] Tactical Hologram - A larger type of projector grants you the ability to cast holograms into your environment, giving you a wide variety of tactical options. Basically the technological equivalent of illusions. Again, the holograms are not solid and can be disrupted by solid objects.
[] Wireless Connection - Allows you to communicate wirelessly with other computer systems, as well as produce a variety of wireless signals, from radio and infrared to more exotic ones. Allows you to contact the drop ship, as well as access any computer networks you encounter. Without this system, you'll be restricted to a wired connection.
[] Hacking Suite - A set of programs and protocol that should, theoretically, allow you to hack into any computer system you encounter.
[] Extreme Environment Protection - While your outer shell allows you to function in a variety of environments, including high and low temperatures, underwater and in a vacuum, if you ever get damaged, all your delicate insides will be exposed to the elements, potentially ruining your circuitry. This sub-system includes a variety of upgrades and redundancies that will ensure that no matter the environment, you'll be able to continue functioning at peak efficiency.
Sorry this took awhile guys, also for it being so short. I was planning for it to be longer, but the abilities vote had to be by plan, so that if people wanted specific combos they could get them, and that didn't mesh well with the next vote, so here we are.
