Name: Asura Courtland
Age: 11,538 years old
Race: Asuran Nanomorph (nanite-based semi-organic sentient being)
Gender: Male
Role: Engineer (science and engineering)
Moderate medical, moderate survival, moderate combat
Skills: equipment/technology specialist (create/repair/identify/assimilate)

Special Skill:
Upon activation, an energy shield is created (2 meter radius) around me. The energy shield absorbs kinetic and energy attacks for one minute. Kinetic/physical attacks are converted into nanites, and energy attacks are stored in a temporary capacitor.
After the one minute is up, two things can happen:
1. Within that force shield, the converted nanites and stored energy swarm the inside, damaging enemies and healing/helping allies.
2.The converted nanites and stored energy are combined, then focused with my arms. I can then release a deadly and destructive nanite/energy beam from my hands at a target of my choosing.
*(This power will drain me of a huge store of my energy reserves, therefore, this can only happen once per charge.)

Equipment:
-1 quick deploy nanite-fiber tent
-1 sewing kit
-1 basic tool/tech kit
-1 basic cooking equipment
-1 military rucksack
-1 basic survival kit (auto adjusting compass {for different planets}, fire starter, etc)

Electronics:
-1 portable Mk V Naquadria-Neutronium generator
-A new prototype generator developed by the Asurans as a drastic improvement to the Tau'ri Naquadah generators. It houses the unstable isotope of Naquadah that is stabilized by enhanced pure neutronium nanites. It can output the equivalent of 1 Terrawatt of energy and comes with adjustable output and a built-in adjustable transformer.
-1 Alteran LSD (Life Signs Detector)
-A small iPod sized device developed by the Alterans that shows any and all life signs within a 50 meter radius.
-#integral in body# 1 Asuran Collective uplink module
-A built-in module that all Asurans have, that lets them uplink to the Asuran Collective via subspace to communicate and send/receive information.

Weapons:
-1 Asuran Neutralizer energy pistol
-An energy pistol that fires compressed energy bursts. It has two settings: Kill and Stun. Kill can injure/kill the target, while Stun can temporarily incapacitate/stun the target for 5-10 minutes. It comes with a built-in energy crystal that slowly recharges from subspace, but can be recharged with any power source (if powerful enough).
-#integral in body# Since Asurans are basically a local collective of nanites, most Asurans can modify the integral structure of their body to perform specific functions, such as making their arms into blades, fingers into keys, and feet into something that can make them swim better, etc.

Appearance:
Clothes: Matte black = baseball-style cap, military pants, military rucksack, and military jacket. Matte coyote tan = shirt, utility belt, military boots, combat gloves, and socks. Matte black/ matte coyote tan Shemagh scarf wrapped around neck. Utility belt has a pouch for the LSD and a holster for the Neutralizer.
Body: Medium build (large lag mass, medium arm mass), 6'2", thick black head hair, full trimmed beard, intricate tattoo/scar on upper left cheek, no hair anywhere else, pale white skin, light purple eyes.

Personality:
Quiet, keeps mostly to himself, creative, active in groups, doesn't like to be a leader (but will if the situation arises), determined, focused, loves his job/specialty, loyal to his people and race, helpful.

Race Biology:
Asurans are a nanomorphic race. Basically, each separate Asuran is a collection of millions and trillions of cell-like nanites. This makes Asurans extremely resilient and adaptive. There is another aspect of the Asuran nanites that makes them stand out from the other nanomorphic/android races: each separate nanite has the ability to collect raw material and replicate itself, kind of like organic cells performing mitosis. Because of this, any injury an Asuran receives can be quickly healed, making them very effective.
Every Asuran is independent and by him/herself, sentient. Each Asuran has the ability to connect to the Asuran Collective, a network in subspace of many, many Asuran nanites communicating and sharing information with each other.
Asurans have a very unique way of getting energy for themselves. In the Asuran body, a special designated cluster of nanites acts as a sort of generator. These nanites draw energy from subspace, making the amount of energy they can have almost infinite. Each nanite can also act as a capacitor. They can also draw power from other sources, such as power sources (nuclear, solar, etc), but they can also produce energy like other organic life forms by consuming materials, such as food.
There is a down side to drawing energy through subspace, though. When drawing energy from subspace, the activity can be monitored and tracked, making this technique ineffective when in situations requiring stealth. To counter this, the Asurans can shut themselves down for about an hour, and draw energy through subspace slowly, making the subspace activity undetectable.
Even though Asurans come with many advantages, they also come with disadvantages:
Pros:
-extreme regenerative abilities and resistance
-super computers
-perfect memory
-each Asuran can be 'backed up' in the Asuran Collective, so if they die, they can literally 'respawn' (on home planet or outposts)
-sentient
-conventional weapons are ineffective against Asurans
-Asuran Collective network
-able to work for long periods of time
-can choose to be organic instead of nanomorphic
-long life
-assimilation
-can artificially ascend by uploading themselves to subspace
-very adaptive
-regular EMPs not effective
Cons:
-can be stunned for a few seconds from energy pulses and high doses of electricity
-need neutronium for mass replication
-nanite disrupting technology (Alteran/Asgard/Tau'ri) can kill them
-explosions can sever the links between the nanites
-vacuum space and direct solar radiation can disable them
-cannot use personal cloaking devices, because the radiation given off by cloaking devices disrupts inter-nanite communication
-subspace recharging can be tracked
-EMP from nukes (or larger) can disable them
-cannot ascend in nanomorphic form
