Androchon Traits

Humanoid construct class

Created for Greatness

Several hundred years after the new Primus was chosen, the Primus desired machines that could travel beyond Mechanus more frequently than modrons can, and machines that were creative and capable of handling tasks more complicated that modrons ever could. To better the world of Mechanus and worlds beyond, the Primus ordered the construction of a new machine race, a race with a unique spark of life: the androchon. The androchon were created to be anything they wanted to be, go wherever they wanted to go, and to push the boundaries of what it meant to be a machine.

The Construction of an Androchon

Androchon are assembled in a complex factory hidden deep within Mechanus, the location and name of which are known only to the Primus and the factory’s operators. While the body of an androchon is entirely metal, each androchon is given a unique core crystal that contains their life essence. The composition of this crystal and how exactly it gives the androchon life is known only to the Primus and the highest-ranking modrons that handle them. It is impossible to remove this crystal, as it is fused to the inside of the body of an androchon. After an androchon is given life, it chooses which module it wants to adopt. The choice is permanent and cannot be reversed. The androchon is given a serial number, which is engraved in tiny Modron print at the base of the neck. A serial number is comprised of 2 letters and 4 digits. The first serial number was AA-0000. If the number of androchon exceeds the limit of possible serial numbers, four more digits are added to future serial numbers (ex. AA-0000-0000). The androchon is then allowed to choose a name for itself. The construction of an androchon takes a total of 72 hours. The date and time of construction are recorded as well as serial number, chosen name, and chosen module.

The Mind of a Machine

Androchon are incredibly good at math, science, magic, construction, and more. They constantly innovate and improve, pushing the technology of Mechanus forward at record pace. For all the things they understand, they struggle with understanding the things that more biological beings would understand. They don't always understand jokes or biological or social issues other races have. An androchon may also not understand the value of time to other races, as androchon live almost indefinitely. An androchon also does not feel emotion to the extent of other races. They can feel pleased and displeased and just a moderate amount of happy, angry, and sad.

Living Machine.

You have two creature types: humanoid and construct. You can be affected by a game effect if it works on either of your creature types.

Metal Body

• You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.

• Magic cannot put you to sleep and you cannot become unconscious unless you drop to 0 hit points.

• You don't need to sleep, instead you spend 6 hours a day in a semi-conscious ‘sleep mode’. After resting in this way, you gain the benefits of a long rest.

• You are immune to poison damage, the poisoned condition, and disease.

• Your unarmored AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier.

• You always know what time it is.

• You always know which cardinal direction you're facing.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Modron.

Floatation Device

Normally you would sink rapidly in water due to your weight and density, but due to an internal life vest and floatation devices on your arms and legs, you have the ability to swim (normal swim speed rules apply to you). These swimming aids are deployed when you enter a body of water and remain deployed until you exit the body of water or fall unconscious. Even though you have swimming aids, if you don't swim, you still sink.

Mechanical Repair

When you are affected by healing/restorative magic (and healing/restorative potions), damaged, dented, warped, scorched and rusted metal/parts are restored or replaced with new metal/parts (basically new metal being summoned from Mechanus). A blue light shines from your core crystal and around affected parts as this happens.
