    Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

             

    Automata, or alternatively known as Animatii, are constructs created through the further alchemical arts of automata crafting - clockwork creatures given sapience through science and alchemy, as opposed to any form of magic or sorcery. They are most often made of steel or other metals, given animation through a false-musculature of pulleys and pumping vessels, and powered through an alchemical marvel known as a 'Gear Heart'. This is a heart-shaped device composed of a dizzying number of cogs and springs, with a core of a conductive gemstone or material that, through poorly-understood science, 'kickstarts' the alchemical lifeblood which courses through an automaton to grant it life. Automata have a number of 'Modules' to grant them similar capabilities to other constructs such as hearing, sight, sapience, etc. and these are often no more efficient than their counterparts of flesh and blood. Likewise, they can be given a number of upgrades, within the limits of plausibility and the bounds of the lore itself such as a quill built to spring forth from the index finger, or weaponry integrated into the chassis of the automaton itself. They can typically only take a few strikes before their plating is punctured or dented, and their innards are exposed to attack - causing them to bleed out if their vital Vessels are cut and Lifeblood is allowed to bleed from their bodies. 

     

    Of note is the fact that extremely large automata are afflicted with a number of maluses befitting of their large size. Their movement speed is heavily restricted, approximately half of what any other mortal could move, and their mental processing is heavily delayed - leading them to be lethargic and unable to formulate any truly complex plans or actions, much less execute them. They are still perfectly intelligent and able to speak and reason, and engage in simple actions or basic combat, but without direction from another individual their capabilities are limited when it comes to such matters. Likewise, as they are already pushing the boundaries of what an automata can reasonably be in terms of size and brawn, their hearts are unable to enter a state of Overclock. 

     

    If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

    Morotoi Class Chassis - Mk.1

     

    A more recent development of the previous Custodian models, the Morotoi retains the golden rococo engravings and regal ornamentation of its kin, yet dulled down and clearly rushed in construction when compared to contemporary models of automata. Standing at a prodigious ten feet in height, the Morotoi known as Astraeus is broad and bulky, built for strength above all else and with little respect to finer dexterity or mobility. A large arbalest is mounted on its leftmost shoulder through clockwork integration, limiting the upward mobility of the left arm and requiring the automaton to remain still while it is in use. Of note is the model's wide legs and feet, not resembling humanoid digits but instead optimal support structures for stability and slow, lumbering movement.

     

    Astraeus' helm is sharp and angular in its design, shrouding two unblinking eyes which hum with crimson light. It bears the heraldry of Aeolus of Khamees across its pauldrons, displaying proudly its maker whom it serves in unflinching, dutiful fealty.

     

    Do you have a magic(s) you are dropping due to this app? If so, link it:

             Nay

     

    Do you agree to keep Story writers updated on the status of your magic app?:

             Ja

     

    Are you aware that if this creature is shelved, your character may be given the option to revert or be indefinitely shelved?

             Yes

     

    Memey RP or using this CA for subpar villain/bandit RP can lead to your app being denied, even after acceptance. Please put "I understand" as your response once you have read this part and understand the consequences.

             I understand

     

    Have you applied for this creature on this character before, and had it denied? If so, link the app:

             I have not!

  2. [!] Unto the 'Lord of the Xi'tharii' would a spectral Albatross fly - and to them, it delivered tidings from beyond.

     

    "We stand in defense of the Fourth's title - He who earned it rightly, and not an usurper who cowered until He slumbered to carry out the Promethean sin. 

     

    Stand and fight if you dare, False Lord. This sacrilege shall not be tolerated. The Will of The Four shall be maintained."
