### **Description**

#### **Appearance**

RX has been described as covered in black plating with orange highlights. His face is metallic, with bright blue lights for his eyes and multiple plates that form a jaw ending in a breathing vent. Being a Warforged, his armaments are attached to his body. He wears black pants with a dark leather chest piece. He wears a dark cloak and a loose scarf hanging from his neck with his longsword strapped to his back. While in *Quarry Hold* RX had a piece of Amber placed into the back of his left hand by Masq.

After their encounter with Kalistock Hgymire in *Kra'Kash*, RX and the rest of the party were branded with a mark on their left hand, in the form of two suns encased within a moon that appeared to be shattering, which Seren knew as the "Ruined Moon". While the marks were identical in design, the smaller sun in RX's mark has a yellow colour to it, sharing the same color as Tabernacle's. Attempting to hide the mark, RX covered it with makeshift material by ripping his scarf. After reuniting with Ob and hearing more of the Ruined Moon's history, Ob changed his color, as well as the others, to a deep purple with gold outlining.

#### **Personality**

Due to only being powered on for a short time, RX has shown to be naive and quick to act, not caring for future consequences over immediate benefit. He is very interested in gathering knowledge of all sorts to improve his efficiency and effectiveness in any given situation. He can come off as impudent and unknowledgeable due to his lack of experience in social situations. He cares little for unnecessary conversations and is direct when it comes to reaching his current goal.

### **Biography**

#### **Background**

RX was found in a box on a ship by Killian and Quincy. The box had many shipping labels, and had been seen so many places it was impossible to tell where it came from. When RX was later awakened by Ob, It was revealed that RX’s was created by someone named Twynn and that his intended purpose was “subdued”. Something savage is inside him that could very well “destroy cities”.

After much searching and coming up with several dead ends, RX was finally given a lead that could prove fruitful in *Krak*. When asking a local who had moved from *Vayilcor* to *Krak*, they suggested RX see a man who lived beyond the walls of the city in a metal house that produced purple smoke. The next day, the party ventured out of the city and found that a human looking man lived there who, upon seeing RX, promptly fainted. In the following questioning, RX learned significant details about himself from the man who introduced himself as Twynn Roderick, later clarifying he was Twynn Roderick III.

Twynn explained to RX that it was his grandfather who started RX's design as the first Technomancer of *Vayilcor* and it being his job to advance technology for the betterment of society. Twynn Roderick II was the one to complete him, though, as Twynn Roderick III had left home before he was complete and his grandfather died before he could see the project finished. Twynn explained that RX name stood for "Random Experiment" and the number was the number of attempts made, making this version of RX the 5,284th attempt to create a warforged that could think for itself. Twynn explained that that is what made RX so hard to design, making something free thinking was no simple task and Twynn and his father had started adding new and different things to the mix to see what all it would take.

Twyn asked RX was element or power RX was most fond of, Quincy offering that RX seemed fond of lightning which appeared to click something into place for Twynn. Twynn explained that last he heard of his father, he had recently visited the *Elemental Plane of Air* and returned with some ideas, Twynn believing that RX was powered by the contained essence of an Elder Tempest Elemental.

After some work was down by Twynn, RX became heavier and sturdier as Twynn removed the less useful programming designed for quicker reflexes.

RX eventually met his creator, learned he was originally created as an unsleeping bodyguard for the Holy Enclave, but after lightning from the elder tempest successfully created him realized didn't think it was a good idea to hand such power over to the *Skorian Empire* and instead put RX on a boat with a trusted acquaintance and told them to keep moving with out him knowing the destination so it couldn’t be pried from him later. He also learned, from reading Twynn's notes, that Arcus Malasana was the one who requested his construction as a defence bodyguard.
