Description
M.E. (emmy) is a warforged cleric. Built by an eccentric designer, she has very human features.An idea, stolen from CLAMP, she was found deactivated in a pile of rubble. One of the other characters dusted her off and found a brass nameplate with the letters M.E. on her. He read aloud the word "me" and suddenly she awoke.
Unfortunately, for the first several months, she could only say the word "me". Drove the DM and other players nuts ^_^. I enjoyed it immensely. Now she talks normally.
Warforged do not sleep, M.E. works at the local temples and occasionally earns a little cash as a domestic servant or waitress.

Somebody posted this pic to 4ch. ^_^
Someone complained about the character concept. Someone else complained about the stats.
IIRC, the reason why her stats are so high (and I freely admit that they are quite a bit higher than normal) is because we were playing short handed (3) and the DM didn't want to run an NPC to fill out the party, so he just gave us amped stats and ran the modules as written.

Nice character depiction, and a very interesting backstory. For all those who say "warforged don't look like that," I have only one thing to say. This has been stated in several books over the years, in different ways, but it boils down to this: These are just guidelines. If you don't like something, change it. If the DM approved the character concept, then s/he didn't have any issues with it. If that DM approved a female warforged cleric/barmaid, then more power to that person. It's their campaign, and only the people involved should really concern themselves with the actual aspects of said campaign. The game is all about being creative. If one of my players had come to me with this concept, I'd most likely have approved it.

Love the concept, she looks a little R. Dorothy Wayneright to me (look up an anime called The Big O) but overall very nice.
Gotta love Eberron since it screams for detailed personalities. Of course it'd be interesting if her and my OC Blade [link] met at some point. (I'd love to find a second artist to refine the look for him)

Her look was influenced by R Dorothy, but the personality was a mashup of Chii and HMX-13 Serio.
Blade looks like serious trouble. Nobody in our group was much for HtH combat, M.E. ended up tanking most of the time.

Well since you figure that Blade would've been immune to non-lethal damage, crits, and sneak attack damage by 12 level yeah he was a decent wall to stand behind. But then again I've had practice refining D&D character tanks with the practice I call "Fortress Dwarf".

I have a ranger/bodyguard warforged that works in a brothel.
She is not as human looking as this, but put clothes on her, a wig and squint and she would look human enough in a dark alley. Somewhere between yours and this. [link] I enjoy using her as an NPC in my game as she is curious, and has no "tact" about asking questions.
She has integral punch katars in both arms, and yes, her master made her a "real girl". Too bad she can't have kids however. (Wizards are nerds after all, and this campaign is not on Eberron.)

Argh, warforged don't look like that. They all have the same body same almost, no warforged are craft witha female body for they have no gender. They adopt a male or female personality but thats it. No matter what, a warforge would never look like that.

they're constructs, so they look exactly like what their designers want them to.
If some eccentric designer wanted a bodyguard that could, with a wig and some cosmetics look superficially like some of the household staff yet was not susceptible to poison, disease, fatigue yadda yadda, didn't detect as magic and was capable of defending his household, this is one way of fulfilling that need.
It's like saying that there would never be a stretch limo hummer.

They are crafted to look all male, and to all look generally the same.

That might Be But What is the one that Made This One wanted something Diffrent?
The Creater make out how he Wants His Constrocts To look like.. Kinda like a Golem ijn Normal D&D No one say That a Iron Golem MUST! be A Hulking lump of iron it can Just as easly be a Huge Slender Constrot made for Lifting things high in the air.
So What if it Looks like a Woman..

They Might Build a Forge That make a Woman Body.
But Anyway It is just a Role-playing Game No Need to ague about it
Cattoy-bn Made a Female Warforged And That's it If her GM Says Go to it Then it is Okay
His Campain His Rules

The backstory for M.E. is that she was a prototype, so she was not technically a warforged, although she uses the race template. She was a scratchbuild, and one of a kind. M.E. and her 'siblings' were testbeds for the principles that were later put into production in the form of the warforged.

Ah, right, a homebrew.
I was wondering about that as it dosn't look like a Warforged at all, and dosn't fit the D&D description of the race. I guess if it is just a prototype construct that just uses the Warforged rules but is not actually a Warforged. I did similar for a character a while back, used the Dwarf racial stuff for a homebrew race that were kind-of-but-not-very-like dwarves. I guess as the character backstory for the non-warforged construct is valid in the homebrew game setting your GM created then it's all cool.

There is a forge, the ones who control them don't make the warforge. They just flip a switch basiclly, turning it on and off.

Neat! It calls to mind Gary Gygax's legendary fighter maid. Also, holy cow did you roll well. Or was there point-buy involved? Custom warforged build due to a custom origin? Pre-assigned stats? The mind boggles.

There was a very generous random system employed, so yes, the stats are unusually good. Granted, it was in the context of other characters with strong stats, so there you go.
In effect, it was very helpful because warforged make less than ideal clerics. The penalized stats (wis and cha) really make it tough on clerics because they need those stats for stuff. Of course, that's nothing compared to trying to make a warforged sorcerer...
She is a homage to several anime characters, through her first two months of games, she was only able to say one word...drove everyone nuts. Fun for me, though ^_^

I got the animuu references. And yes, I've had a fun time when the DM let us roll 5d6 and drop the low two. I've gotten multiple 18s on one character, basically free reign to play whatever.
Making a character against type is a helluva temptation. See also: the half-orc paladin or bard.

besides I don't really like warforged and anime, I like this one, nice style and coloring, but I think that a place with hammer-wielding waitress is a bit unfriendly

Just found the warforged cleric pic you commented on but the only thing I have to say is this:
You won't see the hammer unless you try to skip out on your bar tab.

This piece reminds me of an old character idea I once had: Warforged OS-tan that is also a Maid/Schoolgirl.
Funny line of convergent thinking, no?

It's kind of amusing injecting anime culture into D&D. Sometimes it wierds people out. ^_^
