Homebrew E.D.W. prototype Species Details

the Artians supposedly killed countless dragons to create one E.D.W. way back in ancient times about 100,000 years ago but what people don't know is that there were a bunch of smaller prototypes using parts from various creatures most of which are still around today they are often found wandering the world looking for a purpose and feeding on the life energy of various creatures to stay active they make great bodyguards and mercenaries because they don't need to sleep they could replace any lost or damaged parts and they don't care if you underpay them as long as they have purpose and are kept fed just don't stop paying them entirely as they prefer to be treated like people

they are made from multiple stitch together creatures and mechanical parts they are kept alive by an unknown power source in their chest no one has been able to take it apart and figure out how it works as it was rigged to self-destruct if anyone were to attempt doing so(the Artians weren't exactly keen on sharing their secrets) but from what people were able to observe it appears to be a device that drains life energy and uses it as a fuel source

every single one of these E.D.W. prototypes has been around since those dark days but there were attempts to create new ones those attempts failed since the only ones still alive that know the exact details as to how E.D.W. prototypes were created are the E.D.W. prototypes and they aren't exactly willing to share that information

E.D.W. prototype Traits

ancient abomination: due to the method through which you were created most consider your existence to be "wrong" and "unnatural" you consider it to be "unconventional"

that which should not exist

due to the horrific atrocities that were committed just to create one E.D.W. prototype and the legends about the E.D.W. all living things find your existence to be "disgusting" "horrific" and "wrong" and thus they fear you
