Waiting for my friend to get back on so we can talk about the history and name, but otherwise complete. Also, I'm aware that it seems quite powerful and I'll nerf it wherever needed.
Name:
Age: Unknown
Gender: Assumed male
Weight: Between 2,600 and 2,800 pounds
Height: 7 feet
Hair color: N/A
Eye color: N/A
Occupation: Guardian
Personality: Although it is just a construct, the thing still has a personality, however shallow. It is incapable, at the moment, of deciphering between sarcasm and seriousness, between jokes and anger, nor can it express any true emotions, though it can mimic them to an extent. It has a single track of thought for the most part, and that would be the task at hand, be it guarding a friend or destroying an enemy.
Appearance: Standing seven feet tall with a weight exceeding two thousand pounds, the presence of this war machine can hardly be overlooked anywhere, be it a field of battle or in a town. Acting as an autonomous creature, capable of free will, individual thought, and the ability to learn, it is a wonder in its own right. Created for war, the construct is built of steel plates, most ranging from two to three inches in thickness, others between one and two inches. At first, it may be assumed that there's actually a person within the armor, but it'd be a lie to say such.
Being such a machine of war, the construct has several devastating weapons, ranging from the three claw-like fingers of its left hand, the foot-long spike housed within the left forearm, and the arcane cannon that makes up the majority of the right arm. All three of these weapons, unlike the rest of the construct, are made of Dehlar. The cannon, for all purposes, is fully capable of tapping into the reservoir of arcane energy housed within the body of the construct, and can use it to fire spheres of magical energy. However, it only has three chambers within the base of the cannon to store the energy to be fired, and once a case has been expended, it will take some time to restore it to a usable point.
Stored within the thick armor of the chest is a reservoir of arcane energy, channeled through a ten-pound stone of pure onyx. This is the lifeblood of the war machine, what gives it the ability to live. If ever the stone were removed, the creature would simply cease to function, until another channeling stone replaced the last. To ensure the reservoir of arcane energy would rarely become empty, the ability to tap into the residue left by a cast spell, or into the direct connection formed by another channeling energy, or the magic from an enchanted object was added.
Weapons:
---Left hand claws
---Left arm foot-long spike
---Right arm arcana cannon
Armor: Pretty much itself. Ranges from two to three inches for the cannon, body, arms, and legs, to one or two inches thick for everything else.
Skills:
---Arcana cannon: The cannon taking up most of the right arm is capable of firing magical energy as a projectile attack by tapping into the arcane reservoir of magic stored within itself. However, depending on how powerful the attack is going to be is determined by how many posts the attack is charged for. It can only fire as many times as a chamber is prepared, and after firing, a newly emptied chamber will slowly begin to refill with energy, and take at least five posts to fully fill. The required number of posts to fill will increase, depending on how powerful the attack was.
One post: Yields the effect of a thrown baseball
Two posts: Somewhat stronger effect of a one-post charge
Three posts: Same power of a two-post charge, with an added ten foot diameter shockwave capable of unbalancing lightweight foes. (Unbalancing effect strongest within a three-foot area)
Four posts: Same power as a two-post charge, with an added fifteen foot diameter shockwave capable of knocking lightweight foes over (Knockdown effect strongest within a five-foot area)
Five posts: Somewhat more power than a two-post charge, with an added twenty foot diameter shockwave capable of unbalancing heavier foes (Unbalancing strongest within a five-foot area, knockdown of lighter foes effective between five and twelve feet, unbalancing of lightweight foes effective between twelve and twenty feet)
Abilities:
---Strength: Capable of lifting between 1,500 to 2,000 pounds, given position and situation.
---Endurance: Being made of iron has several points of interest. While the sheer weight makes it slower than an average man, it's quite notably harder to inflict actual damage on the creature.
---Sight: Lacking true sight, the war machine can see the essences of other creatures, living or dead. This makes it hard to discern between friend and foe.
---Sight: Utilizing infravision for actual sight, the war machine can see in low-light situations.
---Onyx stone is constantly searching for something to connect with to acquire more arcane energy to add to the reservoir. The drain isn't too noticable, more like a slow leeching.
History: Need to wait for my friend to get on again so we can collaborate on the history and name
