Homebrew Automaton Species Details

Automatons are native to Infernus. They look and act like regular humanoids, just with metallic skin in a range of colors. Some get body modifications to have different abilities, or to enhance their current abilities. Automatons run on a highly advanced AI, giving them the ability to learn and behave like organic life.

Automatons were created in the city of Scientia to be helpers to the scholars originally, but ended up becoming more advanced as time went on. They eventually became recognized as their own race, although some of the old scholars still view them as lesser.
