Homebrew Eco Binary Species Details

Eco Binary are robotic lifeforms that were brought about after a dimensional fuse. The Electromagnetic energies of the world combined with the magical energies and brought the Eco Binary Factory to life. When the factory was given life so too were all the Eco Binary across the world. Most live in or near old technology sites or power stations. Being robotic themselves They have a natural talent for tinkering, particularly when it comes to electronics.

Specialized and Mechanized

The Eco Binary were created as helper robots for various task from household chores to complex military operations. While their numbers are not great, the diversity that the Eco Binary display is impressive. Some were built for speed, some for strength and others for intelligence. Regardless of why the E.B. was built you can be sure they were very well suited to their task.

The Eco Binary were merely Robots until magic brought them to life. Inside their robotic shells they developed organs and tissues of silicon. Their wiring began to flow like blood to and from their now pumping power supplies. The Eco Binary were from that point on truly alive. They are slightly shorter than most humans at 5 feet tall. They are however quite heavy for their size. Their dense metal skeletons make up a considerable portion of their staggering average weight of 300 pounds.

A Timeless Perspective

It is not known how long the Eco Binary can live. None have died of natural causes or old age, but many of the original Eco binary are still living with no signs of aging. A long life gives them a deeper understanding of history and the interactions between people. They also have incredible memories, and never forget. With such a long lifespan E.B. can become highly skilled in any profession they choose. Highly logical and motivated, they set their realistic goals, and achieve them at record speeds.

Having been originally designed as helper robots, they are naturally charismatic. Their interactions with most people are quite pleasant. They make friends quickly as a result, but their warmth and generosity is sometimes taken advantage of. Be careful not to cross an Eco Binary, for they will likely remember it. The Eco Binary have incredible memories due to their robotic data storage framework. Most have photographic memories, and their memory recall is as precise as the moment it was experienced. This talent makes them well suited cartographers, scouts, tinkerers, and wizards.

Techno Junkies

Nearly all Eco Binary live in or near old technology sites, or power stations. Partially because they are the best places to salvage electronic devices. Since the Eco Binary are the only race that can power these devices most travelers and scavengers treat them like junk. Most Eco Binary however, have collections of functioning tools, weapons, and entertainment devices. They also tend to have huge piles of non functional devices for tinkering. 

Exploration and Adventure

While most Eco Binary live in or near old technology sites, some venture out into the world. These reasons can vary from trade, to defense of their home, to fighting for morality, to fame and fortune. Whatever their reason for leaving the comforts of home, they will most assuredly have a sound plan in place before making their decision.

 

Curios but Cautious

Although they can be curious, Eco Binary also have impeccable memories which steer their logical minds towards caution. Gaining favor with an Eco Binary may be difficult at first, but once you are part of their inner circle they will treat you like family.

Eco Binary Names

Eco Binary are created with a unique 9 digit serial number. When referring to one another in a formal setting it is customary to use the last two digits of the Eco Binary's serial number. The last two digits are always a letter and number in that order.

In more informal settings, particularly with family and friends, they use nicknames based on technology. 

Formal Names: F2, R7, J5, L6, K8, O1

Informal Names: Chip, Terra, Circuit, Rom, Bit, Cable, Byte, Ram, Chord
