Homebrew Automaton Species Details
Automatons are machines created in the image and likeness of mankind. Though they were originally created for war, there are many roles and functions an automaton can take. An automaton is "born" into a life of service and cast aside once their purpose has been fulfilled. While more fortunate automatons are given their freedom by more merciful creators, the vast majority of automatons not destroyed after they complete their necessary objective, find themselves awakening into sentience in a world that thinks of them as mere machines
