Description
Tall yet surprisingly lean in build, 316 has a simple face carved into his metal head and glowing eyes within deep sockets. His form is visibly withered, tarnished, and rusted, while countless battle scars cover his metal form.
Unlike modern warforged, 316 has several extra hinges and moving parts - metal plates can slide over to cover his eyes and ears, a corner of his chest "peels" back to reveal his unit number in the marks of old, and even his hands can be safely pulled off and reattached without issue.
Personality
316 is softly spoken and inquisitive, seemingly eager to learn of the many changes to the world that occured while he slept.
Despite his generally demure nature and eagerness to be helpful, he remains a warrior still seeing visions of The Archon War. At the slightest provocation he prepares for battle, immediately readying of his arcane weapons to strike at any strange sounds or movements.
Abilities
In addition to the strength granted by his metal form, 316, like all of
The First Battalion, is a trained martialist able to hold his own in a fight and survive powerful blows.
More impressive and noteworthy than his melee abilities are his ranged weapons, hidden away within the arms and made availalbe by removing his hands. Within one arm rests an arcane cannon, capable of firing bolts of force at a safe range, able to support a front line from afar. Within the other rests an elemental cannon which fires a burst of fire or lightning in an area, able to burn away several close foes at once.
History
The Archonomachy
The first warforged were born at the hands of
Katas to fight in the largest war The Cosmos has ever seen. Hopefully the largest war it ever
will see. The battles seemed endless and unwinnable, but eventually, finally, the world prevailed.
Sleep of Ages
Following the war, the survivors from each battallion had a decision to make, for their purpose was complete. The Second and Third Battallions followed
theiri general into the next age, serving at her side for many years to come.
The First chose differently; they travelled to an island far from civilisation, and went to sleep. The war ended and the age turned almost 700 years ago, and they have remained all that time.
Awakening
Recently things have begun to change.
The Exotics and consuls of The Republic visited the island of The First to check on the ancient warriors, and decided to wake one up for information. 316 was the chosen soldier, and after a brief moment of panic and attempted combat, settled down to converse with those around for hours.
A New Home
Following their discussions, 316 was offered the chance to come with The Exotics, both to help guard
their new city and to have a safe space to learn of this fresh new age he has found himself in.
