[QUOTE="Samnell, post: 2239027, member: 130"] Finally a DM who wants to know about my background! :) I can always elaborate. ;) He hasn't had much chance to. It didn't matter to him who the enemy was, just that he was pointed at a group of people and told to off them. As long as, you know, it's officially sanctioned and all. He's not a total psycho. He doesn't kill because he takes pleasure in killing hated foes or something. Rather when he's got a target to eliminate, he has the sense of everything going according to plan. It helps that he had the whole comradeship/military thing going. Just follow orders, do your best, and everything will be ok. He does have a real problem with couching it in polite terms, but that's what a Cha 6 is for. :) One of the best parts of the war was that he could do what he was built for, often and properly. There's some residual feeling about Cyre, but he classes it as militarily destroyed and thus not all that important anymore. A Cyrian, at least unarmed or unaggressive, is nothing worthy of, or permissable to kill. The hundreds of Cyrian soldiers figure assumes a lot of area attacks and a load of first level warriors, extended over several years. If anything, he's more likely to dismiss Cyrians now. His most powerful emotion isn't hate or anger. He's capable of very cold rationality. What he got out of life was the feeling of being part of some huge, anonymous mass greater than the sum of its parts. He was a living cog in this incredible machine that people poured their lives into; giving up themselves entirely. A soldier, to him, is not a person. A soldier ceases being a person and becomes a sort of object. It lives in one of two sharply-defined categories "us" and "them". Us is the important one. Clang wants to be a part of "us". Specifically, he wants to be the part of "us" that kills with its mind. It's what he's for. He conceptualizes himself as a weapon. I figure some sort of artificer interested in warforged curiosities, not directly affiliated with House Cannith. It was a legitimate, above-board contract. Probably at least a little bit eccentric to be gaga about warforged considering the post-War attitudes. I'm not terribly good with names, but the guy probably has a reputation for his little obsession. I hadn't planned any, but I am open to it. [/QUOTE]
