Homebrew Dragonborn Clockwork Species Details

Clockwork

Some clockworks are built as one of many, others are works of art, and some are rickety one of a kind machines but all are built with a soul or souls of some type in them but is buried in the machine so they can serve their creator. Why were you created? By whom? Does your purpose still drive you, or are you seeking a new purpose? Who's soul or souls is buried underneath all this metal?

Physical Description

You are a clockwork representation of a given race. Your shape and size are obviously of that race, but you are double the weight. Clockwork rarely share the same hair, skin, or eye color as the race they are modeled after. You are obviously built entirely out of mechanical parts.

History

Through ages past, clockwork have been made either for work or war. Those that survive share a few things in common; they usually outlive their creators, they are most often made from metal, and they are normally given as much consideration as one would an interesting rock near the road.

Aside from these, they have no traditions and only incidental similarities from one to the next.

Society

Normally built for the use of someone else, clockworks are generally seen as property instead of people. As such they are fringe members of the societies in which they live; they don't have any society of their own.
