Construct Alignments

Natural Selection

Survival of the fittest / Strength of the Individual / Attack & Defense

they value individual strength and the ability to defend one's self. having undergone natural selection they are combative by nature and feel threatened from all sides. magic and advanced technology disturbs them as they are unable to understand it; their response is to try and crush it and restore their place at the apex. their fear is a manifestation of the emotions and prejudices they have grown in order to survive.

  • rally
  • physical damage

Machine Cult

Everything Connected / Speed & Efficiency

members of the Machine Cult worship artificial machines of any sort, from simple spring powered devices to vast self-aware networks. they value speed and efficiency above all else. the individual has little significance for the machine cult, its members are rushing headlong into state of complete connectedness they long to transcend beyond their physical limitations and become vaster and more powerful than the sum of each part

rigid, often serving a very specific purpose, not as adaptable as the other alignments they and their machinations do not think, they simply act. no motivation / no emotions / no tricks; just action.
