Rusty

Title: The Awakened Automaton
Role: Rusty is an older-model Aether-mech, originally designed for heavy lifting in the shipyards. Unlike his peers, Rusty has developed a full range of human emotions and a sense of self. He spends his days performing his duties with a mechanical precision that masks his inner turmoil. He is often seen "staring" at the sunset from the shipyard walls, a behavior the other mechs do not share.

Secret Motivation: Rusty has started to receive "transmissions" from an unknown source. The transmissions are in an ancient language that he shouldn't be able to understand, yet he does. They speak of a "Great Awakening" and a "Father of All Steel." He believes he is being chosen to lead his fellow mechs in a revolution, but he is terrified of what that would mean for the humans he has grown to care for.

Adventure Hook: Rusty approaches the party in the shipyards, speaking to them in a low, synthesized voice. He asks them to help him find the source of the transmissions, which he has traced to a hidden bunker beneath the city.
