Animated Object

Some constructs are made with souls imbued into them; born to be their own complex person to set out into the world. Other constructs are imbued with magic, perhaps made to aid in combat or work, and may not have as complex of a personality. However, they are the most common type of construct. And then there are constructs who are born from curses; burdened with wandering the world and seeking out their purpose in life.

Regardless of how you came to be, your adventure will always begin the same: To carve out your path in existence, whether by serving your maker or chasing some wild wind of destiny. Unlike warforged or a battlesmith's steel defender, you are an animated object; like a suit of armor, or a cape.
