This is mostly a poll to see if the community thinks I should stay a bio-android or go Homunculi (as with the discussed removal of my PL gain from absorbing Athren.)
Race Name Homunuculi
Any Starting Planet Earth
Starting Power: Alien A 400-800.
Appearance:
To describe an Homunculi the best, one has to keep in mind the nature surrounding their species’ creation. Originally designed to represent one of the ‘mortal’ races, those artificial beings are said to possess the potential to ascend into something even greater.
While the first generation of those species have been known to be a female-only species, rumors say that if someone was to trace back to the process that was used to design them, that the potential of a male Homunculi is within reach. Nevertheless, most Homunculi are known to start in the form of a child, and ascend to adulthood as they increase in power. However, an Homunculi will always resemble a human being in looks, albeit minor alterations might be possible. Nevertheless, they will always retain a humanoid-like look.
Background:
Originally designed by Professor Grimm, an Earthling scientist who secretly desired to create a being that was capable of growing past the limits of mortality, and through this method obtain a means to become a deity and take their rightful place on the empty throne of the gods.
The idea was sparked through an ancient prophecy that hinted a mortal warrior had ascended to godhood through unknown means to challenge a powerful threat to the world, and this prophecy made Grimm believe that given the right stimulants certain beings could ascend into godhood.
Nevertheless, this process was once attempted before in the form of the creation of the beings known as Bio-androids. While those beings could be created from the genetic material of the strongest beings in existence, their growth potential seemed to be limited. Certainly, they could reach astonishing levels of power, but was it enough to call a perfect being, a deity? It was this question that led Grimm to develop a different approach.
What if a perfect being was to devour other perfect beings? Would it allow that apex predator to become a true deity in power? This led to the creation of Project Chimera, a dangerous and bloody experiment where eight bio-androids were raised with the lone goal of attaining perfection, and in the process absorb their fellow sisters to ascend to true perfection: Godhood.
It’s believed the first proper Homunculi was created when the bio-android Reikiko merged with her human self, but this is a wrong statement. In ages past a Makaioshin had constructed an actual artificial construct that resembled a human woman, but with power far beyond a regular mortal’s limits. In the end, while the secrets surrounding Homunculi construction have faded away into the passage of time, the recent reemergence of the aforementioned Homunculi who curiously enough seems to be embodied by Reikiko, has led to various attempts to decipher the remnants of Professor Grimm’s research to figure out a means to create a Homunculi.
It’s important to note that all Homunculi are mostly designed from genetic material found by connecting a character through the Chimera project’s designs (meaning they’d have the genetic material of Reikiko), there might be the occasional Homunculi that survived the past conflict between the Kaioshin and Makaioshin that have led to the destruction of most Homunculi.
Name Pun Theme(s): The name pun depends on the origin of the Homunculi.
Chimera Project: All are Japanese names with a ‘ko’ suffix (ko = child so Reikiko = Cold Air Child)
Ancient Homunculi: Usually are referred to by a title rather than a name (Reinforce being an improper/username and ‘Book of Darkness’ being the title of the Homunculi who dwelled inside the human side of Reikiko)
Unique Characteristics:
Chasing Perfection: Homunculi are at their core are created with the purpose of becoming a deity. To become something beyond the reach of any human being. As a result the Homunculi is capable of mastering things much faster than the average person, this translates to a technique learned every 4000 PL
Blessing of the Dark Goddess: A gift born from the first-created Homunculus. The Blessing of the Dark Goddess bestows a potent magical ability onto them that is often labeled something borderline of a miracle. By using their own spiritual energy as a fuel for this magic, the Homunculi is capable of creating a healing effect on themselves or an ally. However, this healing effect seems to also possess an affinity toward regeneration, like the Namekian race are known for. Depending on the PL of the healer, they are able to regenerate lost limbs a certain amount of times per thread.
However, it’s important to note that the blessing is considered a cursed/dark ability, for depending on the healer’s choice, those under its influence tend to find their ki warped into a more malicious nature, and their minds corroded into a more darker nature, often more maniacal compared to normally. –Only if willingly, aka this aspect is a flavor-only aspect-
Transformations:
Artificial Child - x2 Available upon creation, this is kind of considered a base form for the Homunculus
Artificial Adult - x6 70,000 A Homunculus who reached this level has learned to properly tap into their powers. At this point a Homunculus will be able to unlock their mature forms. Of course it looks different among each Homunculi
Perfect Homunculus - x15 150,000 At this point the Homunculus has learned to properly use their adult form permanently. This allows them to stay within their full power form, should they desire to. Nevertheless, the power of a Perfect Homunculus is nothing to be laughed at, for while they might look normal their power has vastly increased.
Ascension - Type A x25 250,000 Ascension is the act of properly ascending to a power beyond most mortals. While it takes a lot of effort to reach this point, a Homunculus at this level will find their artificial souls to have grown so powerful that their bodies demand to release ki outwards to reduce the strain on the body. This usually manifests as a burning ki aura, or other physical features formed from energy.
Artificial Deity - Type A x42 400,000 The goal of every Homunculus. At this point they will have ascended to such a power they are almost akin to deities on terms of power alone already! While there aren’t any physical signs, their ki presence will feel like a raw fount of power
God-slayer - Type A x48 460,000 The ‘real’ final form of a Homunculus. Created as a weapon to slay the Kaioshin, or the ‘gods’ At this point they will have properly obtained a power that could put any mortal to think twice about crossing their path. Not only will their Ascension traits be shown permanently, but it’s said that their aura alone can already influence people…
