...You mean the Pictomancer from Final Fantasy?

I wanna say we got abilities like this in PF1E, also. I forget the name of the line, Celestial Ink or something I believe, but it was a series of discoveries for the alchemist that let you paint things into tangibility. It was very cool.

It would probably be fairly easy to reflavor it as a prepared Illusionist, give it some alternate class features (or the 2E equivalent) to make sure it fits into low-tech fantasy. Some of the alternate class features could be designed and flavored to fit into science fantasy as well by being applicable to holograms.

I think there could be a specific Cyborg archetypes (similar to the Sterling Dynamo archetype) but I think a Cyborg versatile heritage would be fun add for Starfinder. Can even give a ruling that it can be retrained into with the right circumstance. As a versatile heritage, Cyborg might work like a half-Android heritage and use the Android feats.

Mystic and Witchwarper subclasses leave a lot of room for various SciFantasy magic types.

I'd sooner point to that jerk from Neuromancer who specialized in holograms - a cyberpunk classic feels like fair game as inspiration for a Starfinder class!

EDIT: Come to think of it, I'd welcome a Razorgirl-equivalent, too. What's SF2's answer to the Monk, as a cyborg power fantasy?

In SF1, the answer to Monk was Vanguard. Used the power of entropy and shields, along with a resource generated by taking damage to pull of space magic.

I could also see a world where a shifter/evolutionist style shapeshifting martial class has a cyborg/nanobots subclass option.

The 10-foot reach attack may be combat tentacles to the eldritch subclass, but they're extending robot fists for you. Your teammate might turn their hand into tiger claws, but you have blades that swing out of your fingers like switchblades.

And I bet you could have plenty of unique feats, too. Your hand can pop off and act as the crawling claw familiar. Your head can fly off and act as a scouting drone. You can remotely attempt hacking checks with a computer in your brain, and your cyborg body gives special reactions when taking vitality or electric damage.

A netrunner type class could be the technological mirror of the mystic class, giving out passive buffs and actions by way of everybody's comms and augmetics being tied to a party network

There are also some pretty appropriate soldier fighting styles, too. The Qi Adept comes to mind as probably the best example, but there are a fair number of other brawling-focused styles that you could also mine for ideas.
