Description
Clink-clacks are intelligent constructs of bronze and carved wood invented by the late Dr. Delheim, used by the city of Gearhold as aides, guards, and maids. They are known for their tendency to develop a personality, their generally passive nature, and their ability to switch between two forms. Clink-clacks aren’t, however, known for their stealth or subtlety, as any motion from a clink-clack (including speech) causes their clockwork internals to become rather noisy, hence the naming of the clink-clacks.
Clink-clacks are all content with the roles given to them by fate, or at least, they follow them anyway. Some scholars theorize that because clink-clacks have no need for sustenance, they never developed a sense of personal “need” at all. Clink-clack personalities are almost as varied as humans’, and fully develop by the eighth month of activity.
Clink-clack searchers are built like small, stout humanoids with lenses over their eyes. In clink form, searchers are designed for careful analysis and inspection, which form is often used to provide service as clerks, record keepers, and researchers. Searchers' clink forms have full-length, scholar-like robes of wooden blocks and an array of rune-engraved bronze plates on their round heads that focus the searcher’s thoughts.
In clack form, searchers are designed for acute detection and sweeping, and are often used as detectives or librarians. When in this form, the wooden robe shortens to a coatlike garment, the remainder blocks moving to the arms for added power in self-defense encounters. The bronze plates on the head also turn over, switching from focusing runes to those that heighten awareness of the searcher’s surroundings.
