Tremerus

The Petran Treasurer sat in his office when the marching orders were distributed throughout the capital. He read through them, nodding as his role as a member of a trebuchet team was mentioned. He'd finish reading and replaced the orders he held with the ledger keeping track of the tax status of the commonwealth's citizens and vassals. "Hmm. There's an unpaid debt from their time with the commonwealth. It's about time we collect." And with that, Theoderic von Theonus began gathering supplies for trebuchet ammunition.

"I am very glad I'm not on the receiving end of their fury." mused a knight of the Petrine Laurel. "Though they have my shield anytime they need it." Theoderic von Theonus would say proudly after seeing the mages of Hohkmat rally in support of the commonwealth. 

Sir Theoderic von Theonus read through the poem while smiling from ear to ear. He would show off his squire's work to anyone he could find in the streets of Vallagne.  "This will be the first of many such poems! Just you wait and see." After some time he'd fold the paper and put it away. 

Aurel von Theonus read the posters that were posted throughout the city. He'd hurriedly scribble his name on the registration list. "A game? I can't wait to win! I wonder who else is going to join..." The 10 year old muttered while looking to see if any other children of the Petra had joined.

Theoderic von Theonus read the missive aloud in front of the fireplace in his home and surrounded by his family who were all in one place again. 

"She's a good leader, and treated us more than fairly after we moved here."

He'd set the paper down and return his focus on his children, they were likely plotting some sort of prank against him and he'd decide he must strike first. 

"Let it be known that I do NOT support the first initiative. The rest, however, I support. " the treasurer, Theoderic von Theonus would clarify under threat of being beaten by his wife with a broom.

Theoderic von Theonus stopped to read it after many frantic moments pacing the Petran tax office and muttering about collecting taxes. He came to a sudden stop after a realization. "Someone's finally done it. The curse is broken!"

Theoderic von Theonus read through the missive, nodding as he went. He'd drive his fork into the last piece of trout in the city and chuckle as he ate. "No one's gonna be eating any of those for a while."

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Automatons are created through advanced alchemical means by people known as automaton crafters. They're made with non-organic materials and contain a soul on creation. Automatons require lifeblood to power their bodies and modules, of which there are five – Intelligence, visual, voice, audio and obedience. These constructs are humanoid in appearance.

Creating the skeleton is the first step in the process to building an automaton. Once complete, the crafter would fill in the internals consisting of various clockwork and tubing – most important is the gear heart. If the gear heart is destroyed, the automaton would shut down as the lifeblood wouldn’t be able to circulate to the various modules powering the creation. Additionally, if too much lifeblood is lost, the automaton would need to be recovered and repaired by its creator or someone with the appropriate level of knowledge. 

Appearance wise, automatons are generally humanoid, but can be modified for looks or functionality sake. A tradeoff has to be made if the automaton is built larger than the typical human, however and would lose speed in order to gain strength due to the need for a stronger skeleton. Their size would affect their processing speed as well, limiting how fast the robot could process and react to events happening around them. 

Automatons have increased stamina than their descendant counterparts, but have a flaw in that after an extended period of use their internals would seize up after long periods of exertion. This can be seen in more extreme cases with overclocking, where the automaton could access more strength and speed for a very short period of time before operating at reduced strength or just outright shutting down. Other flaws include the lack of a self-sealing function, where if punctured, the lifeblood would continue to flow from the ‘wound’ until some sort of patch was applied.

Potential players should note that aside from whatever basic communication ability and basic skills the creator implements in the automation, it would have to go through the process to learn more complicated concepts. Players should also keep in mind whatever directive the automaton’s creator instilled in their creation, and play in a way that’s in line with the directive.

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

This particular automaton would take on a human features and height, and would look as though a human was wearing a blue and gold suit of armor. The automaton's head would appear as though it was wearing a helmet of sorts and would have glowing blue eyes.

Theoderic von Theonus reads through the oath as presented by his older cousin Godric. He'd sign his name after his eyes reached the bottom of the missive. 

Theoderic von Theonus read the missive over his wife's shoulder as she sipped her tea "What? The Archduchess is evolving!" he'd then look to his children and chuckled as they played and argued amongst themselves.

Arthur Veiel-Lynott scanned the missive after hearing the halflings are friends of Minitz now, nodding as he looked over the page. "Mama, ich don't know how to read."

A younger Waldenian is saddened to hear the news of his close friend's passing. The first of the group, and he'd pray it'd be the last for quite some time. He'd set out to find his betrothed in the hopes of comforting her through such a difficult time. During his journey he'd swear to do a better job of protecting those close to him and to help shoulder whatever burdens may face them.

Gutte luck to mein competition, Theodoric von Theonus said as he'd cast his vote and nodded toward Peter and his brother, Magnus.

Theoderic would pick up the kit he had set aside for the execution. "It was an honor fighting alongside you all." He'd move to rejoin the Minitz contingent, saying a quiet prayer as he caught up with his brothers in arms.

7 minutes ago, Deets said:

Karl beams as he read the missive aloud to his cousin, Theoderic von Theonus. "Gott does watch down on us." He said a quick prayer after having finished reading, his resolve strengthened for the coming days. Donning his armor once more he walked into the square of Neu Brandthof. A hand resting firmly upon the hilt of his blade, ready for whatever came next.

Theoderic nods along as his cousin reads the missive. "That He does, cousin." He picks up his armor and sword and follows behind Karl while making an attempt to calm his nerves.
