Homebrew Droid Species Details

Made from rusty scraps, and shards of metal, with maybe even a few pieces of wood mixed in, droids were meant to do one purpose: serve their creator. Many though, lose them, as they go off to war, or are neglected. These pieces of scraps are determined though, and powered each by their own unique magical crystal, they'll go find their old master, or a new one. Some even learn to be totally independent, and help nature grow.

Unique Construction

Based upon the creativity of their creators, two droids can almost never look the same. They can vary in height, from 3 and a half feet, to 6 and a half, and because of all that metal, they can weigh a bit more, from 150 pounds, to 350. Droids also have a special crystal at their center. This crystal can vary in shapes and sizes, but also color. Each color can represent what it does as a Droid, and also allows to cast magic in certain cases. The height, weight, and crystal of a droid all depends on what they were made to do. Fighting Droids may be tall and slim, ready to move with agility and fierceness, with a blue crystal to match it.

Endless Determination

Droids were made to execute a goal, no matter what, and they'll never stop until they reach. They may stubborn and slow in some places, but until their power shuts down, they will be heading to help, or to get anything. Most droids were made to do the simple requests of their creator, but some aide theirs in battle, or in dangerous dungeons filled with dragons and beholders. If one ever needs to count on someone, a droid is their best bet, as long as their creator isn't some evil villain.

Mistrust

Many races look down upon droids. Some are afraid they're here to steal all the work, or that maybe one day they'll all turn evil, and kill everything natural. Some droids may fit in that criteria, some may not, yet everywhere a droid seems to go, there is always a percentage of people who will give them a nasty look, or throw a rotten fruit at them.

Powered by Loyalty

The vast majority of droids are loyal. That is, only to their creators, or masters, other than that, they may use you to reach their goals, but in many cases, they rather team up, and when they do, you'll have no other better companion than a droid. Droids also don't perceive in religion (unless they were made to do so), but instead, they see their creator or master as the topmost important thing, like a god. Many droids won't even dare to attack them, even in self-defense. Droids will do whatever it takes to make their master happy, as long as it is requested

Droid names

If one is ever to meet a droid, they'll find they either have the simplest of names, or the most complicated string of numbers and letters that would make your head turn. Many droids are named after their creators, or someone important to the creator. They can also be named after what their purpose was, and what number droid they are to be under that creator. Let's say a Fighter droid is the 12th droid in an army, their name could be F-12.
