Springbound (5e Race)
Springbound[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Springbound look human at first, but there's more to them then that, they can extend body parts, and on the inside, they are robots with a small programming computer, and its always going bonkers! Also their extendable spring body parts bind them together, giving them the name Springbound. Also they have hidden buttons in the programming computer, when it is pressed the Springbound instantly turns off.
History[edit]
Springbound used to be helper robots, they're extendable and they extend with springs, making them able to grab things far away making them great helpers, but when their owners (keep in mind they're robots) tried to make their programming make them seem human, it messed up, and it made them have a personality and everything! The people were overjoyed that they made their robots more human-like then they even wanted, but the robots, being human-like, had an opinion, and they were mad! So they used their extendable legs to jump out of the factory and jump far away.
Springbound Names[edit]
Their names, being robots, are are often a series of numbers and letters, but they like changing their names to more human like names (meaning you choose the name just 'cuz I cant think of any names so names are your problem)
