Homebrew Lingering Sentiment Species Details
Beings of Pure Will
Lingering Sentiments are always full sets of armor that can move on their own and speak usually with a disembodied voice. their various pieces of plating seemingly unburdened by gravity and acts as if it was their skin, any damage inflicted upon their plating is damage to what would be their physical form if they were a living being. Should they sustain enough damage, the willpower that was holding their parts together will dissipate, leaving them to fall apart completely. While they have no physical presence inside the armor, they function like a person in a full suit of armor. Their weight and size, as well as their design and material, are usually dependent on whatever full set of armor the original self was wearing when they died.
Though they may not have any sensory organs whatsoever, the magic made manifest by their powerful thoughts has willed them to be able to perceive what is around them. They can see and hear things, though not always to the extent that other races can, even if they were once a living being however they cannot feel. To hide the fact that they are living suits of armor as opposed to warriors simply wearing suits of armor, Lingering Sentiments will use cloaks, scarves, or bandages to cover the gaps between their plating. Some Lingering Sentiments have arcane lights that are fixed in the space inside their helmets. These projections are meant to resemble eyes, and shift and move according to what expression the Lingering Sentiment might be making. Though they serve no function other than making it look like they have eyes, these lights are often enough to keep the average person from getting too suspicious.
