Warforged
Basic Information
Anatomy
Warforged were physically impressive humanoids made up of magically enchanted materials. The "skin" of a warforged was made of hardened materials such as metal or stone. Beneath this lay the skeleton, made up of similar materials, and the "musculature" of the warforged, made up of leather, wooden fibers, or any leather-like material. Throughout the warforged's body were vessels resembling the circulatory system of organic creatures, complete with a blood-like fluid. The arms of a warforged ended in hands often with two fingers and a thumb while the feet of the constructs were likewise two-toed.
Genetics and Reproduction
Warforged were completely sexless—though some did "adopt" genders—and were incapable of reproduction. Each warforged was individually created through ritual, like any other construct.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Warforged's artificial nature also meant they did not need to eat, drink, or breathe.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
The faces of warforged were simple and vague in their features, with beak-like jaws, heavy brows, glowing eyes, runic markings, and little else. The most important marking for any warforged was their ghulra, the primordial word for "truth", a rune distinctive to each warforged that was placed upon their forehead.
Average Intelligence
Warforged as a whole had a strong work ethic and shared an aversion to failure. Warforged were capable of fear, often of death or pain, as much as other races and could come to hate the sources of these fears just as easily. Warforged were also capable of loyalty and joy, particularly in relation to friends and allies, and could be driven to anger when their loves or goals were threatened. However, warforged as a whole exhibited a simple-minded and reserved approach to life with straightforward goals and reactionary passions.
