Another Player Character race from the upcoming Monster Commute RPG that I’ve been working on.

Patchwork Wonder

Patchworks are oddities of the new art of Electromajik, combining the “best” of Science and Majik to create and animate new “things”. Patchworks can be made of of flesh and blood parts, Automat pieces, as well as inanimate objects. One could have hand carved wooden arms and legs, the torso of a zombie, and a metal skull for a head. Others might be entirely created out of carved pine.

Invented by Teslan the Keen, they were intended to be simple puppets to amuse Abraham Lincolnstein, but soon they were harnessed to be laborers and servants. A few have even managed to create lives of freedom for themselves, though this is still a novelty.

Most Patchworks:

  • Were made for some specific task, such as Butlery, mining, or street sweeping
  • Have a rather shallow understanding of culture, being a race that is less than a decade old
  • Are socially inexperienced, much like children
  • Are registered with the Authority, and require a permit to exist
  • Have some innate fault to their being or construction; none are perfect
  • Are held together with wires, string, chain and Majik
  • Admire Teslan the Keen, and revere him as the greatest figure in all of Monstru
  • Can see in black and white only
  • Are ill trusted by the Automats

Some Patchworks

  • Just want to fit in
  • Are very interested in the cultures of the other monsters
  • Ask a lot of questions
  • Feel like foreigners in this world
  • Can consume food and drink, but yet taste nothing
  • Hate fire more than anything else
