Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 1825757" data-attributes="member: 7006">Bronze, Apostle of the Lord of BladesHere is the character concept that I submitted to the Wizards.com UnCon charater creation contest, and I'm submitting it now to you to hopefully play in your Eberron game.  Hope you like it!>>>>>>>>>>“I live to serve. He who has created me gave me life and I use that life to serve Him. He is my Creator. My Lord. My Lord of Blades. Within the creation forge from which I emerged, my Lord designed a new breed. A breed of Warforged designed expressly to be His conduit to the world. My brethren and I have been placed upon the land of Eberron to bring forth His message to others of our kind… they who have not yet looked into their futures and seen He who shall free us and lead us home.We must all embrace our Lord. My soul is His soul, and He shall bring us divinity.”Bronze, Apostle of the Lord of Blades The “living construct”-- at once an oxymoron and a reality. For the race of the warforged, to be granted life through a machine rather than a womb is a concept that is at once mystifying and enlightening. How a creature of metal and wood could be born with a soul is a mystery that only the members of House Cannith have an answer to. However, now that this oxymoron is in fact a reality, there is one warforged in particular who is bringing all his children together as the singular race that they are. For many years the Lord of Blades has been a messianic figure for a good number of warforged, but he never looked upon himself in any sort of divine way. Until now.The Lord of Blades has begun using his creation forges to birth a new breed of warforged… a breed which have a soul stronger than any others that have come before them. An enlightened soul… a divine soul… a Favored Soul. And these Favored Souls follow the tenets of their savior, and no one else.Background:It was just over a year ago that Bronze and his five brethren (Platnium, Gold, Silver, Copper, and Brass) came out of the secret creation forge of the Lord of Blades, hidden somewhere in the depths of the Mournland. Almost immediately upon his birthing he discovered the divine power coursing through his mechanical body, and spend a solid six months in a monastic lifestyle as he pondered the reason of his existance and the power his Lord had granted him. He and his brethren studied and trained at the foot of their Lord, learning His Message of one day rising up and assuming the mantle of their birthright-- leadership of Khorvaire itself. They each were taught that the very reason for their life was to extend the reach of the Lord’s swordarm to those areas of Khorvaire where simple heresay of the Lord's deeds alone would not do the trick. Although many warforged had already heeded their Lord’s call and come on a pilgrimage to what was once Cyre, there were still many other 'forged who as yet had not. These six would go out across the land and pass on the knowledge they were given, in hopes of bringing more of their people into the fold.At the end of the six months of training, each of the six apostles went off to a different corner of the continent to pass on the Lord’s message of solidarity within the warforged race. Bronze has now spent the last seven months working within [Area of Campaign Start] passing on the tenets of the Lord of Blades, and slowly but surely more and more Warforged are leaving their posts and positions to indeed travel to the Mournlands.  Every day Bronze continues his work, walking and adventuring amongst all the races and doing his best to pass on his Lord's message to every warforged he meets. Personality:Bronze works subtly as he walks amongst his fellow creatures of Khorvaire.  He does not out and out declare the eventual downfall of humanity (as that would be a death sentence), but rather he speaks in soothing tones of devious propoganda about what the warforged are truly capable of if they throw off their shackles of their previous rolls of servitude.  Those around him might not even realize of what he truly speaks, so Bronze is able to walk freely and indeed adventure with members of the "other" races.  But regardless of what duty or job he might be currently employed to do, he will always continue to promote the independance and rise of the warforged race in whatever sublte manner he might find. In addition, although he tends to be more of a sermonizer, negotiator and a speaker of truths, he will willing pick up his blade when he needs to emphasize his point.  Sometimes the only way to get people to understand is to beat the truth into them... something he has no problems doing.Appearance:Bronze is built very muscular and well-designed... one might almost say "beautiful". His body is laced with mithril, iron, and many plates of deep bronze, and the wood inside of him has been stained to match. In honor of his place at the foot of the Lord of Blades, his body has been adorned with precious diamonds and topaz, and his torso is carved with intricate patterns, almost like a dragonmark itself.</blockquote>
