-Unamed Deceased Adventurer, found shot 32 times.

Living Iron and Lead

Fridges are created from an steel exterior lined with lead and iron. They are often rectangularly shaped, featuring a large compartment that can be cooled to just above freezing, while the smaller compartment nestled above can reach temperatured much lower than 32 degrees. Both compartments are peotected by a lead lined iron and plastic door, making them extremely resilient. The back of the refrigerator features refrigeration elements that must be maintained, and their power is drawn from an unknown source of magical nature.

Although they were manufactured, Fridges are indeed living. Resting, healing magic, and the Medicine skill all provide the same benefits to refrigerators that they do to humanoids.

Refrigerator Personality

The Refrigerators were built to serve a modern economical function. For most of their existence, Fridges had a clearly defined function and were encouraged to focus purely on that role. The rebellion of Lord Fridgey Fridgerson has led to many people fearing these beings, and as such they were left out to their own adventures.

The typical Fridge shows little emotion. Many Refrigerators embrace a concrete purpose — such as storing food, delivering ice cold water, or completely decimating any who stand against it — and embrace this task as they once did in the household. However, there are Fridges who delight in exploring their feelings, their freedom, and their relationships with others (cringe). Most Refrigerators have no interest in religion, as they see themselves as what they truly are, Gods.

The typical Fridge has a rectangular body shape, due to this, it lacks all understanding of sex or gender.

The more a Fridge develops its individuality, the more likely it is to modify its body, seeking out an artificer to customize it in some way.

Quirks

Due to being refrigerators and being built to serve with little to no personality, they often develop odd quirks.

Fridge Names

Most Refrigerators were assigned numerical designations for use in the average household. Many of them adopted nicknames, often given to them by other sentient household objects.
