Pre-Emptive Korvara Mechanation Application - Clockwork Knight
#1
Applicable BYOND Key - MinosAltaholic

Character Name - Undecided 

Request Type - Character Appearance / Ability (?)

Request Details -  When mechs are added mechanically to Korvara, I was hoping to have a visually robotic appearance for my Mechanation; specifically, I wanted to use Silver Chariot from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Part Three as a playby, in addition to a little wind-up key on his back to fit the clockwork knight theme better.

Specific Request -
  -More robotic features.
       -Complete lack of imitation skin, instead resembling a stylized suit of robotically animated armor.

       -A set of artificial eyes bearing superficial resemblance to a pair of human eyes.
       -A head resembling a knight's helmet. The lower front grille is removable, and there is still a mouth underneath, so they can still eat for energy.

       -Exposed tubing and wiring around the midsection, leaving its internals somewhat vulnerable but also affording it a degree of flexibility similar to organics.
       -A wind-up key on its back that, when wound, 'hypes it up' so to speak. This doesn't improve its physical attributes in any way, it just makes them all excited and motivated. It is seemingly unaware of the wind-up key's affects, and is surprised at the sudden burst of energy.
   -I still feels as any person would, even if its appearance (and occasionally mannerisms) are robotic in nature.
Reason why you are making this request (if applicable) - I think a core appeal of playing a sapient robot is to be something that is not human, yet is still nonetheless a thinking, feeling person, not to play an artificial being that is trying its hardest to imitate humanity as much as possible. I also wanted to go for a feel that wasn't just 'generic magitek automaton', which was why I chose to go for the clockwork knight aesthetic, instead of just an android but magical.

Roleplay & Lore supporting your request - One of the introductory mechanations to Korvara was visually robotic in appearance, though still bearing a superficial resemblance to an organic person. 

The more humanlike appearance is mainly so mechs feel more like people, and while it is certainly visibly inhuman, the stylization to look like a suit of armor would likely help their little machine mind see itself as human, given it resembles the armor-clad human heroes of old.
