Warforged

"Forged in allunite, made for war."

Warforged are inorganic lifeforms in the Alluvia; they make up a minority of The Concord's infantry as specialized weapons of war. Made from processed allunite steel, their metallic armor is almost nigh indestructible. While there are exceptions like Albedo T'wan, most Warforged are not sentient and follow through with a set amount of codes, programming as well as limited understanding.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Warforged come in many different physiques, sizes, and bodily forms. The standard issue Warforged infantry soldier is built akin to a humanoid physique with humanoid appendages such as arms, legs, a torso, and a head. They also possess a skeletal structure similar to humans but crafted differently, so each limb operates on an inhuman level of flexibility and reaction time.

Some Warforged were built to suit different needs in war, such as the Warsieges - a Warforged variant built to fire large explosive mortar shells to break down even the strongest of defenses and clear out large swathes of enemy infantry at a moment's notice. Warforged anatomy is quite flexible in its design as they are inorganic constructs that can be molded to fit whatever the creator deems fit.

Their power source is mostly raw allunite concentrated into a stable product, as pure, unfettered raw allunite can cause overheat and explode. However, a newly manufactured prototype Warforged like Albedo T'wan is outfitted with a special Luxon core to enhance their executive functions better as well as their AI automation processes.

Genetics and Reproduction

Warforged cannot sexually or asexually reproduce as they are inorganic beings and therefore cannot conceive the way organic beings can. The only way Warforged reproduce is through inorganic construction.

Ecology and Habitats

Warforged can adapt to almost any environment; they were created with the intent of being able to handle even the most inhospitable of climates. However, the only environment these beings cannot thrive in is large expanses of water, such as oceans and seas. Warforged, due to their low mass and high density, are susceptible to sinking and therefore have limited functions while in water, such as reduced mobility and the possibility of malfunctioning due to the crushing and immense sea pressure.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Warforged do not need food or water - however, they require their power source to be recharged once every few years. Special cases like Albedo T'wan—a Warforged with a Luxon—has an infinite power source. As long as it is not internally damaged, it can sustain the Warforged forever.

Biological Cycle

As inorganic beings, Warforged do not age and therefore are virtually immortal. Only when their power source runs out do Warforged experience a temporary death. But as they are powered up again, they are brought back from the brink of this temporary death. The allunite steel on some Warforged do not rust or decay in any way, but the elements may break down a Warforged created by anything less due to the quality of the material.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

These constructs are spread all across the Concord but are centralized within Excelsior  in the kingdom of Geneva.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Warforged are equipped with a heightened sense of perception, hearing, and even advanced senses such as echolocation, infrared vision, artificial darkvision, and tremor sense through the use of modifications. However, base models of Warforged have the same sensory capabilities as regular humans. The way this was designed was so that the Warforged could serve multiple purposes. And because of the limitations in the technological arcane research, societies have deemed that Warforged powered by allunite alone cannot handle the capacity of too many modifications to their system. Therefore, the Warforged were only equipped with whatever was deemed necessary to complete their directive.

Lifespan

Indefinite (varies)

Conservation Status

Warforged are largely protected by the sovereign states of the Concord as they are more or less weapons of warfare. While they do possess limited intelligence, some consider Warforged to be a species itself.

Average Height

Depending on construction, Warforged can reach heights of 6'0" to over 10'0" tall.

Average Weight

Due to their high density, Warforged can weigh up to 300 to 10,000 lbs.
