I'll be going on a two week vacation starting tomorrow and don't know how often I'll have Internet access. Thank you for your patience. I'll try to be more regular when I get back.
Sorry, @Lmpkio, I hate Bethesda for ruining Mass Effect: Andromeda. Just kidding, I'm not one to stop other people when they have a creative character idea.
Lexus Dominiel is an automaton, a magical construct similar to a golem, though in this case, Lexus is a darkness elemental. Lexus' default form is their mortal guise, that of a young, androgynous child with silver hair and violet eyes, but in combat, angelic armor is summoned from a pocket dimension, while the form of the child becomes a dense, shadowy mass that inhabits the armor. In combat form, Lexus has a halo behind their head that is an accretion disc.
Racial Class:
Lv. 15 Angelic Guardian Lv. 15 Divine Construct
Job Classes:
Lv. 15 Paladin Lv. 15 Armored Mage
Fighting Style:
Crowd Control. Area Control. Bruiser. Tank. Juggernaut. Channeler. Slow and ponderous, Lexus Dominiel does not chase, rather, it relies on its enemies coming to it, or it uses gravity magic to pull opponents within range. Lexus Dominiel operates much better at defending a position, acting as a literal wall, or in helping allies suppress enemies through the use of gravity spells. Lexus Dominiel's forte is thus area control, and anyone who gets close enough must deal with its oppressive, crushing power. Lexus Dominiel is also quite capable at casting high-level spells which require long cast-times, but thanks to its impervious nature, Lexus Dominiel can maintain the channeling uninterrupted. Lexus Dominiel is also no slouch when it comes to melee combat, relying on its massive hammer and tower shield to pummel and repel enemies.
Strengths:
Lexus Dominiel is a divine construct, so its physical form is held in place with magic, making it incredibly resistant to physical and magical damage, with a few exceptions. Lexus Dominiel is highly skilled with casting Gravity Magic, and is capable of performing magical rituals. In combat, Lexus Dominiel usually keeps several auras active simultaneously, whether they be supportive or offensive. Lexus Dominiel also weighs a tremendous amount and cannot be moved against its will.
Weaknesses:
Lexus Dominiel is slow and its movements are simple. As a construct, Lexus Dominiel is susceptible to lightning damage, which it refers to as the 'Irresistible Judgment of God', to which Lexus Dominiel must succumb. As a practitioner of Gravity Magic, a subset of Dark Magic, Lexus Dominiel is also weak to Light or Holy Magic, which it refers to as the 'Compassion of God', and since Lexus Dominiel sees itself as an aspect of the Wrath of God, and God's Compassion is greater than His Wrath, therefore, Lexus Dominiel must also succumb to Light. It uses these names to explain that its weaknesses have some divine reason, rather than 'game mechanics'.

How a normal human would view me:
A normal human would see Lexus Dominiel's true form as a Holy and Divine entity, God's Judgment descended, to act as either savior or harbinger of damnation. The 'pious' may think themselves safe, but such arrogance is worthy of the greatest punishment. Lexus Dominiel's mortal guise would be seen as an uncanny and impish child of indeterminate gender.
Personality:
Stoic, and self-righteous, Lexus Dominiel believes that its analysis is always objective, and that it is therefore, always right. This arrogance conflicts with its overpowering need to be somewhat obedient to the Player Characters. However, it demands obedience from those beneath it, and does not tolerate insubordination either to itself or to any established structure. Other considerations mean nothing to Lexus Dominiel, all must bend to Absolute Universal Law. Human life is, therefore simply something that can be measured, bought, and spent as currency to establish order, and more and more, Lexus Dominiel has come to see the sacrifice of lawless humans as not only necessary, but desirable. Though before it comes to that, it would like to see if the humans can establish a new world order, a hegemony, an oppressive dystopia where Law reigns supreme, for their own good, of course. Lexus Dominiel is passionate, but not like the flame which is active and bright, its passion is like the cold relentless passion of ice, that in their need to crystallize and create order the water molecules will shatter even rock. However, layered on top of this is its zeal of servitude, which expresses itself as a precocious, cherubic, almost child-like desire to please its masters.
Bio/Lore:
Lexus Dominiel was created by Ophiuchus @Zelosse as the 'perfect mage's companion' and is also angel-themed to match. Since waking up in the New World, Lexus Dominiel is devoted entirely to Ophiuchus and the other members of the Imperial Order, but desires for the denizens of the New World to worship the Guild; the only alternative is destruction, since, as far as Lexus Dominiel is concerned, the Apocalypse is already happening, since its last memory of the game was that it was ending.
Dieselpunk entered the portal with the rest, stretching and raising her arms above her head, popping her neck from side to side; a quick and dirty job with a few hiccups, but overall, it seems everything had turned out well. Or so she thought. Upon returning to the Stray Sheep, she was greeted by a sight of horror, with Shade Walker, more than happy to explain the current situation.
"No...it can't be true..." Kyouran said, as she headed towards the slightly limp Karma. Grabbing his face in her palms, she looked into his eyes, saying, "You called me Big Sis!" But she could see from his vacant expression that he probably couldn't even hear her. Kyouran pulled back and looked at Shade Walker expecting to find some sort of misunderstanding on his face, but there was none. It might seem quite silly to the others that Kyouran would have formed a bond of trust so quickly with an absolute stranger, but that was just the kind of (stupid) person she was. Part of her wanted to believe Shade Walker was wrong, that he had made a mistake, or that this was some underhanded plot, but she had to rule out the first two options because she trusted The Black Tree to be professional enough not make mistakes of this magnitude, and she had to rule out the last option because it was too wild a suggestion. He's one of us! Kyouran thought to herself, but that thought was immediately followed by But he was planning to betray us. Snitches get stitches. The euphoria of their recent success and her desire to celebrate turned into pent-up, frustrated energy. She began pacing, balling and unballing her fists. She was angry. Angry at Shade Walker for presenting her with such a conundrum, angry at Aya who seemed to show no camaraderie for their ephemeral ally, angry at all the other callous bastards who stood by as Shade Walker acted as judge, jury, and possibly executioner if no one else decided to take him up on his offer. But mostly she was mad at Karma, who was already beyond her reach, even though she had vowed to protect him. She wanted answers. She wanted to ask him why, why, why until he made a repentant and tearful confession and a brotherly vow to atone for his mistake. She wanted Shade Walker to suddenly show a more compassionate side, to accept Karma's reformation and bring him back into the fold. But that wasn't going to happen. The Black Tree was too professional. This wasn't some two-bit hoodlum gang where loyalty and respect was gained through bro-hugs and drinking contests. Here they were playing for keeps and the operation had to be water-tight. "I can't do it," Kyouran declared weakly, "Even though it was only for a short time, he was my brother, as are all of you. Call me old-fashioned, call me a yankee or a yakuza, but this is my conviction. I won't hurt a brother unless he has caused harm to another member of my family." With that she turned her back on Shade Walker and Karma, heading towards the door to the stairs leading to the basement. Unless stopped, she would go and vent in the underground training room. She couldn't bring herself to watch the ending.
Alright, here's my second stab at submitting this character. Changed some graphics to be less mech-y as well as some descriptions. Also added images for the weapons. @Zelosse has agreed to be Lexus' official creator. Also, Lexus will be part of The Clergy.

@Stern Algorithm I'll cut you a break. Explain how you want to handle going out in public without people either writing you off as a bizarre ghostly apparition in need of exorcism, or an out of place monster and I'll let you roll with it. Because being completely honest it would be pretty boring for you in this circumstance as you won't be able to properly talk with NPCs, and some player character conversations you will be cut out of due to being an NPC, a group that shouldn't be informed about what the PC's actually are.
Lexus would spend most of their time exploring in their 'mortal guise', which looks like a human. Only in combat will they reveal their true form, and they will only do so with the intent to kill all witnesses. And I still think being an NPC would be fun since the interplay between humans playing gods and NPC's who actually believe them, and said humans trying to deal with the WTF of being transported into a game and hiding their non-godhood-ness from said NPC's is a great source of hilarity and drama.
@HueMan Appreciate the vote of confidence but I don't see much chance in that. Without involving spoilers the world I have built is going to be pretty political built later on. Well not that WE are going to be political more that the puny citizens of the world are and we're going to make it crumble around them because what's the point of an empire if there's no conquering. But that's for later plot points.
@Zelosse At the risk of sounding rude when I don't intend to I'm going to be lay this flat out: I want a straight up DnD style thing here Zelosse. Not steampunk, not semi futuristic. Rule 2 being invoked if need be I just want rogues, magic, necromancy, swords, and heroes. Not guns, robots, and victorian era fights. If I wanted the latter I would have made an Akame Ga Kill roleplay.
OK, how about if I change Lexus Dominiel to be essentially a darkness elemental? Still a construct by 'definition', it is robed in angelic armor during combat, but takes on a mortal guise at other times. I'm going for an "Angels are the perfect instruments through which God's Will is carried out", sort of vibe which is why, as the Angel of Law and Order, I wanted Lexus to be a machine, but I'm willing to forgo that. I still want to be an NPC, come what may. Some say angels are made of light, so I'm skewing it a bit by saying 'absence of light' counts. I'm choosing Darkness because of gravity and its association with consuming light, and because Lexus has the mentality of an 'apocalyptic angel' desiring to sit as judge (law) over an unworthy mankind. Lawful good gone wrong, so to speak. But don't worry, I'll reign in the zealotry to suit Player Character's/the Guild's wants, desires, and commands.
@Stern Algorithm coincidentally I am going to attempt a minor divine astronomancer. Why is your fella a gundam?
Shh... Divine Construct.
Technically, a machine golem or automaton or elemental from the elemental plane of order or whatever other fantasy equivalent of robot suits your fancy.
Since guild NPCs are created by guildmembers, would you consider having your character be mine's creator?
