Warforged

Warforged are constructed in a humanoid form with two legs and two arms. Some designs were originally attempted using other body plans but for whatever reason, these proved unsuccessful. As a generally purpose-built species, warforged tend to be constructed with their planned conscripted service purpose in mind. For example, warforged designed to be scouts tend to have slimmer, more dexterous forms, while those designed to be front-line infantry tend to have more heavy, sturdy, builds.

Warforged production is a secret closely guarded by the KDD.

When warforged are first constructed, they initiated with pre-programmed knowledge and skills to accomplish a specific station or task, and tend to be fully focused on their designated/conscripted role for the duration of their service. Over time, they develop their own personalities, preferences, and wants. Based on current research, the average transition time of individuality overtaking initial programming tends to be around 5 years post-activation. As a result, the KDD has decreed the 5 year mark as the milestone concluding their conscription. In uncommon cases, warforged have been known to develop their individuality at much faster or even slower rates as well.

When waforged are initially produced by the Kore Department of Development, they are given a designation associated with their primary assignment as a default title, but are also able to choose their own names. Most warforged choose a single name, usually something associated with their assignment or adapted from their designation. Some warforged only choose a name for the first time once their conscripted service concludes, while others who have already chosen a name occasionally choose to change their name at this milestone.

All warfoged are provided an initial wardrobe of uniforms for their designated service. Once their service concludes, they are provided with standard issue common clothes. Beyond their service roles, there is no unifying dress code for the species.

That said, a general lack of the organs other species may tend to traditionally hide or mask with their clothes has led to a movement of some warforged who choose to wear little to no clothes at all. In some cases, warforged have been known to just wear accessories, apply coats of paint, or to modify their bodies with novel materials as an analog for clothing.

When first introduced to society, warforged were an unknown magitek marvel, inspiring a wide range of emotions and reactions from other species. Over time, as the first generation of warforged began to gain sentience, the KDD introduced programs to integrate them into society as average, contributing members. While still an uncommon sight overall, especially outside of larger cities, warforged have become generally accepted into normal society. That said, there are certainly some more accepting than others of the novel species suddenly being introduced into their daily lives.
