Species
Tectonic Forged, Foundry-Tempered
Appearance
Muster-Eight is a broad, genderless war-construct built from dense grey granite fitted with bronze-plated iron at the joints, ribs, and throat. A steady amber Star-Sand core glows behind a thick chest grate, throwing honey-colored light across the dust whenever they breathe out through their furnace vents. Their reinforced shoulder plates are scarred by decades of shield impacts, but the damage has been polished smooth by repeated maintenance. Their jaw is a hinged wedge of dark iron, and when they laugh, which is rare, rows of small brass pressure-teeth click together like a smith's tool chest. They move with deliberate weight, each step pressing grit into the yard, yet their hands are unexpectedly gentle when adjusting a recruit's grip or tightening a frightened soldier's armor strap. The contradictory impression is immediate: they look like a siege engine and handle people like fragile pottery.
“Measured and resonant, with a low metallic undertone. Their words emerge between controlled venting breaths, and important names are spoken with careful emphasis.”

Distinguishing Features
A warm amber Star-Sand core shines steadily behind a heavy chest grate.
Their bronze pressure-teeth click softly whenever they laugh, chew, or consider an answer.
Eight parallel bronze lines are engraved into their shield, each representing a company they rebuilt after a disastrous drill.
Their granite knuckles are worn smooth from years of physically correcting shield grips and breaking up brawls.
Their footsteps leave faint rectangular impressions in soft ash because of the squared soles of their iron feet.
Voice
“A deep furnace hum shaped into calm, deliberate speech, like stones settling inside a kiln”
Clothing
A soot-dark training harness crosses their chest beneath the grate, reinforced leather wraps protect the joints, and a faded red drill sash hangs from the waist. Their shield bears eight shallow bronze lines, one for each recruit company they have trained to survive its first battle.
Body Language
Muster-Eight stands squarely, with their weight distributed like a braced gate. Their head turns before their torso, studying a person in pieces. When listening, they lower their shoulders and angle the amber core toward the speaker. Anger appears as tightening plates, a faint grinding in the jaw, and dust trembling from their knuckles.
