Name: Bolster
Race: Warforged
Class: Artificer
Role: Area Control Defender
Gender: Female
Age: 10
Background: Guild Artisan
Alignment: Neutral
Height & Weight: 7'0" 300 lbs
Hair Color: None
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Tone: Silver
Scent: Oil, metal, and ozone
Voice: Feminine, but stilted and mechanical.
Personality Traits:
-Logical to a fault.
-Obsessed with her work, will use anything and anyone she can to carry out her experiments.
-Will help you immediately and without question, will also insult you the entire time.
Ideals
-Creativity: The world is mired in backwards, close-minded thinking. Innovation is the key to progress.
-Science: Everything can be quantified and understood. Even the beings that call themselves Gods.
-Discovery: Everything can be learned from. Each new experience is a chance for new knowledge.
Bonds
-She was created to be a guardian of life and protector of the weak. Much to her chagrin.
-She doesn't know who her creator was, but it was her guild who taught her about the world, and about her craft. They're the only people she can stand.
-Her greatest duty is to science itself. Organics are fragile things, and magic and faith have thus far not proved enough to shield them.
Flaws
-She has to save everyone, even if doing so would put her life at risk.
-She can't willingly harm someone, unless doing so would be saving someone else. She's managed to get a pretty liberal interpretation of that one, but It's still a hindrance.
-She's fully aware of both the above restrictions, and it's made her rather abrasive to the people she's supposed to be protecting.
Backstory: Bolster awoke in the ruins of what had once been a laboratory, with nothing but her name and a directive: Protect those who can't protect themselves. For the first few years of her life, it was a directive she embraced gladly, wandering the land and lending her strength to those who needed it. Of course, she was inexperienced, and she couldn't always save everyone. At first, it weighed heavily on her. She always thought there was something she could have done differently to save them, some tactic or skill she could have used. As the years went by, her perspective slowly began to change. Organics weren't soft, delicate flowers that needed to be protected, they were stupid, fragile weeds that needed shepherding out of all the messes they found themselves in. She still protected them, she was literally unable to do otherwise, but her interventions slowly began to take on a more cynical tone.
She happened upon the tinker's guild mostly by accident. They were fascinated by her construction, and she was more than happy to have a place to stay where people wouldn't go running off and getting themselves in over their heads. Sure, there was the occasional explosion, or broken bone, or other minor injury, but she could handle those just fine. Plus, while they studied her, she could study them, learning their art and becoming a tinker herself. She was fairly adept at it, to the point where she began to modify herself, augmenting her body to better protect those around her.
Of course she couldn't stay at the guild forever. The drive to protect still tugged at the back of her mind, and there was only so much she could learn from the guild. Still, working there had given her a new perspective on how best to go about fulfilling her duty. If magic and faith were not enough to save the masses from themselves, then technology might just be enough to fill the gaps. It wouldn't be easy, of course. She would need prototypes, and they would need to be tested. Which, of course, meant test subjects. That she would probably have to protect from everything else. Which was unfortunate, but unavoidable. Adventuring would be a good place to start, and the invitation she'd received to the kingdom of Dasfodel would be an excellent spot to find some willing subjects.
Appearance: Bolster is an imposing figure, towering over all but the tallest organics and built to take hits. Her body is forged in equal parts gleaming steel and rich, dark wood, the magical symbols that animate her inlaid in precious gems all across her form. She's augmented herself with heavier armor plating, giving her the appearance of someone wearing a set of full plate armor of a sleek, angular design. A shield adorns her left arm, in the same style as her armor, and notably thicker than most shields would be. This is less for added protection and more to allow space for all the various gadgets concealed within the shield. She carries no weapons, as her hands have been modified to emit destructive sonic pulses on contact with an enemy, damaging and disorienting them in equal measure. She usually wears a cowled hood to hide her robotic visage, but there's no covering up her vibrant blue eyes, Shining like stars in her gleaming silver face.
Origin: Technically, she originated from a ruined workshop in the middle of nowhere, but she would say she hails from Alieri, the large port city where her guild was located
Family: Her creator, whoever they might be, is deceased. She considers her guild to be her family.
Relationship details: She isn't in any relationship, and doesn't plan on it.
