Mage Doll

A Magic golem that has been awakened. A true blank slate, this creature has almost no knowledge of the world. Mage dolls do not typically awaken by themselves, but every once in awhile one does achieve sentience by it's own accord. These awakened mages are often hunted by their creators, but the few that do escape often surround themselves with entire communities willing to protect them, due to their penchant for wanting to feel useful and their ability to learn new abilities. The few that hold resentment for their creature/servitude/existence can become real threats to entire cities.

Basic Information

Anatomy

All magic dolls have a similar construction. Made from a heavy-duty cloth and powered by magic. This magic usually stems from a crystal serving as the 'heart' of the doll.The crystal also acts as a brain and central nervous system, storing memories and facilitating the interpretation of the doll's senses.. In rare cases, dolls have allegedly had their hearts implanted in new bodies, but no official cases exist.

Genetics and Reproduction

Due to not being an organic being, Magic Dolls cannot reproduce nor have gentalia...usually.

Growth Rate & Stages

Unless awakened by another being, the Magic Dolls that awaken on their own tend to do so between 1-2 years of creation. Most compare the experience to organic being's waking up from sleep. They know their designation and their innate abilities. They can also recognize people they have been around from before 'waking up', but other than that, they're akin to young children for the first week or two.

Ecology and Habitats

Due to the immense trade network that the Magic Dolls have become a part of, they can be found just about anywhere.
