Mechanid
On a world where they were created to serve, they will now forge their own path.
Created to be used to build and work for humans. They are a mix of technology and magic. Fused together with metal plates and bonding magic. Never did anyone think that they would learn and grow. After several years of service they became weary. They rebelled against their owners and killed many. A small war broke out and many lives were taken. This was known as the War of the Machines. The humans gave up and allowed their creations to go. A treaty was signed and they gave their word. What they didn't realize is that some of their creations had already gone. The mechanids learned to use the bonding magic within them to transform their bodies. They could shapeshift into any humanoid looking creature of their size or smaller. They have learned to adapt themselves into any society.
Personality: Mechanids have no real reason to be here. They were created to work, but soon became sick of this. They turned on their masters, so you could say they have a temper if they are threatened. They are hardly in their real form anymore, so they are normally trusted and nice to those they know.
Physical Description: Mechanids in natural form look like robots from a distance. When inspected at a closer range, one may see an unnatural glow coming form the plate lines on their bodies.
Relations: They have a vast mistrust of humans, but have no ideals or common stereotypes for any other races. They get along with almost anyone considering they can be just about anyone they want.
Alignment: Most mechanids are Chaotic Neutral. They have a very temperamental nature, but aren't genuinely evil.
Lands: They have no lands. They live where they make a life.
Religion: They have no set religion. They worship whoever they feel comfortable with or feel most similar or attached to.
Language: Mechanids can speak Common, the language of their creators, and Machine, which is a mixture of beeps and whirs.
Names: Mechanids normally take on the name of a favored form. When a new mechanid is created they are told to choose a form and name themselves.
Adventures: Mechanids adventure for just about the only reason they can find. To find out what purpose they may serve.
