Automaton Physiology

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by V1VUS, Created by Omnitox.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

On the outside, V1VUS, doesn't look that advanced, more like a movie prop. However, their junky metal plating coats a system of highly advanced internal subsystems that of which the world has never seen. They have equipped a set of basic tools that a mechanical engineer may use such as wrenches, screwdrivers, soldering iron, etc.

Bill Roger, a shy yet brilliant man, came up with the idea for V1VUS from his love of old sci-fi films, explaining the robot's odd appearance.
