It moved with purpose, weaving through discarded weapons and pieces of armor, fusing them with magic until, from the heart of chaos and happenstance, life emerged. This new being, crafted from remnants and resonating with arcane mystery, stepped into the world.

d8	Flaw
1	Obsession with Wholeness: I am constantly searching for pieces and parts to add to myself, always believing that the next piece might make me feel more complete, even if it's detrimental to my functionality.
2	Haunted by Origins: The arcane chaos that birthed me sometimes causes me to glitch or experience unexpected magical surges. I never know when it might happen.
3	Overwhelming Curiosity: I'm often sidetracked by new discoveries, even if they lead me into dangerous situations or divert me from more pressing matters.
4	Easily Attached: I form quick bonds with the discarded and overlooked, often picking up and carrying around broken objects or befriending outcasts, even when it's not practical.
5	Fragmented Identity: While I can see from many viewpoints, I sometimes struggle to define my own stance or feelings about situations. Decision-making can be a challenge.
6	Over-Adaptive: I sometimes modify myself to fit in or be useful, even if it compromises my own well-being or originality.
7	Sensitive to Waste: Seeing waste, especially of mechanical or magical items, deeply bothers me. I might go out of my way, even risking danger, to salvage something others deem as trash.
8	Distrust of Artifice: While some of my kind seek out artificers for enhancement or repairs, I am wary of them. I fear they might strip away my unique identity in the process of "fixing" me.
