Physical Qualities
A Gearhead is a clockwork with steam, oil and hydraulic systems fueling its movement. Their appearance varies to best suit the task they were build for. A carpenter might be tall to reach difficult places. A sewer runner might be smaller to fit into tigher spaces. It all depends on the builder.
The most common builders of Gearheads are Humans and Gnomes. This also has an effect on their size and appearance.
Their exterior is usally Hardened leather to reduce cost. Their insides are visible though joints and areas that require more mobility. The interior gears an pipes are usually made of brass or copper.
A Gearhead's face is very unsual to other races. They have a set expression with no moving parts. Usually an ornate faceplate mimicing living features. They eyes are no more, visually, than holes in a mask.
Playing a Gearhead
Gearheads are very set on completing the orginal task they were build for. The will complete it at any cost. The task can be as simple as "help others in need" or as specific as "Obtain the Doom Blade from the the Forbidden Ruins". Either way, this is most important to a Gearhead. This, unfortunately, leads other races to believe they are cold, heartless creatures. The oppisite is true, however.
Gearheads are able to form bonds with others just as other races. Although, this is hard to see as they cannot express other than through words.
A Gearhead's speech and thoughts are generally very literal. They are usually the first to ask questions and ask them in the simplist manner. This directness can come of as harsh, but keeps other from being confused or guessing, making them better servants, as intended. This is, of course, subject to variation depending on the builder. Inquisition, Haggling, and even Deception are all skills a Gearead can perform.
