Along with his great height, Cogman is also remarkably thin, his Warforged frame being composed of thin metals and minimal materials. As his name describes, he dons a head that contains the appearance of an industrial cog, however, he is unsure how he ended up with such an odd head upon his shoulders. [s]He's really insecure about it too, try not to bring it up.[/s] Cogman prefers to wear formal attire, though often finds it difficult to meet tailors who can meet his needs for thin and tall clothes. He also wears a small bowlers-style cap between the teeth in his cogs. He speaks in a resonating tone that comes from his chest. His voice is created by the very magic that holds him together. [hider=history][color=9e0b0f]History:[/color] Cogman's head was not always a cog, though he doesn't remember anything before it was. Back then, Cogman was a Warforged, a machine created for battle and adventures, bound together by magic and given life the exact same way. Unlike a construct or a robot, however, Warforgeds would be given to them by their masters, so in a way they are humans. Cogman has no recollection of his past and that is perhaps a result of his body failing the tests of time. When he was picked up by a traveling mage just a few days before being sold to the caravan, he was rusted, headless, and in a sense, completely dead, but thanks to the efforts of the mage who sold him, Cogman was resurrected and able to freely serve the young man who saved him. Before then, however, Cogman was a machine of war. He was created with the sole purpose of decimating waves of warriors for an old empire of man. Cogman was good at what he did, and every day he returned home from battle, gaining praise from his old master for a job well done. His master would clean the blood off of his body, and perform very minor damages to the Warforged, then Cogman was free to do what he wanted for the rest of his day. Being essentially what was a human in a metal shell, Cogman fell in love as many other "normal" humans do, but was always too afraid to confess his feelings to the man he fell for. He was a soldier from another kingdom, a tale as old as time itself, whom he met at a tavern many nights before battle. They had been seeing one another for years, sharing tales on the battlefield before one unfortunate day. There was no surrendering. It would have either been a victory or a defeat, but Cogman stared at the sky in disbelief as he lay, broken both mentally and physically. He couldn't find the courage to fight in himself and after the battle had been lost, he froze when he saw his love. Cogman lay, blinking slowly as the life began to slowly fade from his magical body of metal. [center]...[/center] Over 2000 years later, Cogman woke up one day in a magical workshop, with no recollection of his previous life, and his hands and arms rusted. Something had happened to him, but he didn't know what. He met a short mage, clearly a student for some sort of academia for magick, wearing robes and a floppy hat. Cogman didn't know where he was or how he knew that, but he knew this person in succession was his new master and felt indebted to this young spellcaster. And it wasn't very long before Cogman found himself fulfilling his debt by willingly letting himself get sold to a caravan shortly after getting cleaned and de-rusted. Now he had new masters, or would they be kind and befriend the Warforged? [/hider] [color=9e0b0f]Personality:[/color] Cogman is very kind and considerate Warforged despite being built purely for war, which may be in part to his soul being incredibly sensitive and gentle. He is often seen as the Gentle Giant of the caravan as his skill in combat does not reflect his personality. He is also incredibly hardworking, performing duties to the best of his abilities at all times, and fighting for causes he believes are just and right. Cogman is also naturally a fighting spirit. He prefers to resolve conflicts with combat rather than dragging matters out. The strongest man wins. Cogman is a very flirtatious soul and will often compliment and flirt with those who find either attractive or that he likes. Quite odd for what many people would consider a machine. [color=9e0b0f]Motivation:[/color] Cogman believes his debt for being rescued has not been fully paid off despite letting the young traveling mage sell him for coin, so he serves the caravan as an indirect way to do so. Cogman also seeks answers for what happened to him before he woke up in debt to the mage.
