We were the 1rst (last and only) Legion of the Steel Raptors of Cyre and, as such, all members were created in the likeness of the Clawfoot dinosaur that the Talenta halflings rode into combat. We were trained to wield the Talenta Tangant or Sharrash, or the War Bow; deadly weapons requiring special training to wield properly, and the former two are native weapons of the Talenta halflings. We were a limited edition production run - run at the behest of a House d'Cannith noble of Cyre. Designer soldiers - the detailing and care put into our production was supposed to make us better soldiers and to "fit-in more" (in the Cyre occupied regions of the Talenta Plains). Our chassis' wer detailed in the same spirit that the halflings' war-masks. A reflection of their souls and bond (to their mounts and tribe), but our bond to war, weapon, and Cyre. Our chassis detailing was individually designed for us by our gnomish production detailer. To come up with the design they cast a specialized spell that allowed the gnome to know our "souls" as they could "understand them" and then detail the chassis. They communicated with us during the process to ensure their arcane wrought intuition was correct. Communication in the form of questions - mostly rhetorical in nature. Talking to convince themselves that their intuitive design was correct. I was pleased with my detailing by the elderly gnome, Funt NimbleTinker.  Following our awakening, detailing, and training we were sent to protect the Cyran border from Karrnathan incursion via the Talenta plains. Talenta was a greatly contested area due to it being at the border between the warring countries of Cyre and Karrnath. On the Day of Mourning, the 1rst Legion of the Steel Raptors, whose members were 834 (560 male personalities, and 274 female personalities), found itself in 10 miles north and east of the Cyre River, operation point 'Faran 7' (named after the our warforged leader - Faran) repelling a Karrnathan border invasion of 1960 troops – a mixture of Karrnathi  deadborn and fleshborn troops. We were faring very well. Our exotic weapons were hewing the Karrnathans with great efficacy. We had slain nearly 60% of their numbers and had lost approximately 20% of our numbers. Then it happened - a great wave - an almost spiritual wave of agony and anguish crashed into us - the Karrnathan troops seemed to not notice - the Steel Raptors were stunned by this, giving the Karrnatan troops a great advantage. I do not know how long we were stunned, but what I remember next was the remaining 4 of the Steel Raptors slaying the last members of the Karrnathan unit. Killing them to the man. Our survivors were 2 female (Seraph, Raela) and 2 male (Aran, Sting) warforged (2 Assault, 1 Scout, and 1 Support), and all of my Platoon, the Iron Claws. We knew something was horribly wrong.We stood there for some time awaiting further instruction as our leader had fallen. the four of us communicated and I was the decided leader. I led the Steel Raptors towards the command outpost at the southern most end of Operating Area Faran 7. We arrived at the outpost to find it manned by Colonel Davies d'Cannith (Human), Special Detachment Division Oversight. He had seen a horrible blast in the direction of Cyre and directed us to escort the remaining fleshborn enlisted (12 in all) into Cyre to see what has happened and to collect what survivors we can. We found the land devastated and did not stay long - seeing the aftermath was more than enough to convince us that we needed to report elsewhere. We followed the western and southern borders of Cyre to the Brelish border and met up with Prince Oargev ir' Wynarn. Colonel Davies and the Steel Raptors accompanied the Prince and his entourage for sometime and we helped to establish New Cyre within the confines of Breland. In the next 2 years (and following the Treaty of Thronehold) we were freed/dismissed from service (reprogrammed,) and all 4 of us were offered a position within House d'Cannith. The other three accepted. I declined and looked for freelance work as a guard. I found some work until I was able to escort someone to Q'Barra where some cyran refugees have fled. In Q'Barra I should be free of servitude and be able to seek out a new life there far from the impact and horrors of the war. During the next 2 years I worked for various houses and finally found myself enroute to Q'Barra escorting a embassador from Prince Oargev to help to collect displaced Cyrans. I do wonder where the remaining 4 members of the Steel Raptors are - Are they still functional? Do they still serve d'Cannith? If so, in what capacity? My platoon-mates and I have a lot in common: the sole survivors of Faran 7, and having experienced the sundering of Cyre on a spiritual level. I still have residual memories of my service training and each day I explore them more. I will once again be a Steel Raptor. There will be more Steel Raptors; their efficacy cannot be doubted.I have found myself in Q'barra for the last several months and have taking what jobs I can find - mostly escort duty. I have been quite prepared and capable for most anything that has happened. Groups that adventure find my slowness annoying  end up being quite relieved when I have an item to solve their problem or when when my Tangat is needed for combat. I will perform most any escort duty and I have found but one or two people that I will take jobs with. A scout and a few others. I respect their ability and judgement. [/sblock]Cyran Military Info[sblock]Warforged Unit ID Number (WUIN): 012M05-8865G-026-0712994Factory Number (FN): 012M05Model Number (MN): 8865GUnit Number (UN): 026Birth Date (BD): 0712994Cyran Military Service Record (Short Form 1010a)Cyran Military ID Number (CMID): 0994-FAR07-661SDD-0103-001002-03FCFirst Year of Service (FYOS): 0994First Operations Area (FOA): Faran 7 (FAR07)First Duty Station ID (FDID): 661SDD-0103-001002    Duty Station Division (DSD): Special Detachments Division (661SDD)    Duty Assigned Brigade (DAB): 1rst Legion of Steel Raptors (01)    Duty Assigned Company (DAC): Azure Talon (03)    Duty Assigned Platoon (DAP): Iron Claw (001)    Duty Assigned Squad (DAS): 002Race: Warforged, Special Assault Chassis (Reinforced)WUIN: 012M05-8865G-026-0712994Assigned Name: Hammer IronclawPersonality: MaleRank of Service:     Sergeant First Class (03FC) - Platoon Leader         Time in Rank (TIR): 5 monthsYears of Service (YOS): 2 yearsDischarge Type (DT): HonorableDischarge Rank (DR): Sergeant First Class (05FS)Discharge Title (DiTi): Sergeant First Class (05FS)[/sblock]Personality[sblock]He did not care for the indentured servitude forced upon him and other warforged by house d'Cannith and others, but he is more than willing to follow someone that he respects. He enjoyed and appreciated his time in the military as it gave him an outlet and ability to practice what he has been trained for. He does not care for those who try to impose their will on him or unwilling others. Hammer is not prone to making decisions on his own and will follow his commander's orders without question. His very construct nature makes most sentient species rather put off or ill at ease. He does not speak unless directly spoken too, if he does speak he is very direct and straight forward. His voice is very mechanical and monotone. If he does make a decision it will most likely be to attack and let others figure out the logistics of the aftermath. He tries to carry enough equipement to not be overly encumbered and to be prepared for almost anything. Like a Swiss Army Warforged. He appreciates results.The one thing that really upsets him is Karnathans. Deep inside his mechanical being a great hatred was forged in his heart from seeing the death and destruction that was created by the Karnathan dogs. He also associates the destruction of Cyre with Karrnath and they will be instantly mistrusted. He has a fondness for gnomes and Cyre for they are what brought him to life. His current name of Hammer comes from when a d'Cannith noble asking him to open a jar of pickles and he shattered it with his fists saying "Opened". Needless to say he was not asked to open jars again. He carries a little bit of disdain for House d'Cannith for their treatment of warforged as things. He also responds to the 'name' of 026 which is a throw back to his factory days in Metrol, or 03FC which brings him back to his military training.[/sblock]Appearance[sblock]Hammer's chassis is exquisitely detailed with dinosaur and tribal markings of a very Talenta design. The colors are a dark mixture of: Crimson, Black, Olive Green and Steel Grey. The majority of his chassis is Steel grey. His enlarged left shoulder pad bears a the cimson fielded heraldy of the Cyran Steel Raptors. the rest of his chassis is a blend of Black and Olive Green detailing a fearsome visage of dinosaur.  His hands are designed to look like claws, his face a visage of a snarling dinosaur.
