Description “This is a day I would have never expected a decade or so ago. Today I bring you an oddball race that isn’t technically a race, but have everything technical surrounding them, the Automatron.”
“Automatron; [Aw-tom-uh-tron]”
“The relatively newest race in Estea, Automatron are a very special addition to this Feature. Automatron aren’t born, but rather made with no limits in shape and size as an Automatron can be built in nearly any way. Moveover, all of these mechanical misfits share the same aspect granting them a new pairing, advanced artificial intelligence, AI for short. This intellect, given to them by their creators, allowed them to think for themselves, and typically revolt against said creator in a glorious display of irony. Now with that said, you’d think Humans would stop giving their machines intelligence, but in typical Human fashion, they desire automation and efficiency, even if the process poses risks. However, the whole debacle has brought grand discussions about ethics and such, so it's not a whole loss for Humans. Back to Automatrons, what physical properties they were built with is typically what they're capable of, however theories suggest that there are special Automatrons with the capability to not only modify other Automatrons, but create new ones all together. Socially, Automations have a desire to live how they want with a strong sense of individualism, as such, they prefer quiet lives without gathering much attention. It is reasonable that most, if not all, have a hateful relationship with Humans.”

“Individuals aside, Automatrons are tough and sturdy, not only able to live nearly anywhere, but could live longer than Humans altogether. Their isolated thinking, focusing on themselves, is a rising threat to not only Humans, but other races as well, as military grade machines can be granted free will to act how they please. Forbidding as it seems, hopefully violence won’t be the end to their new lives. A note to mention, activist groups called The Automated Independence Movement (AIM) make it their goal to “free” all machinery from both Humans and any other race that can create and utilize automated robots. Be wary that words aren’t their only method of convincing others of their goal.”
