Golems

Appearance

Golems appear in the 'living' form of whatever their maker decided for them.
- Most golems come in the form of whatever their wizard creator was.
They can look like just about any variation of the humanoid/beast as possible. Pink hair? Why not
Golems do not have to be human, though it may put them at a disadvantage in life if they aren't.
- A golem can look like an animal and still be able to talk as a humanoid would. They will be stuck in that form unless they evolve with a certain tidbit to change their form once a month.
They are able to turn into their elemental form on a whim. Their elemental form is typically just an elemental version of their casual form.
- Some golems have elemental forms which are vastly different form their casual forms. They can look underdeveloped if the golem isn't strong enough. In other cases, their elemental forms can resemble animal or monstrous shapes.
These are the available elements.

Origins

Golems originate from the planet Earth. There is no real recollection of them on Gilda until recent times.
To discover how the Golems came to be, one would have to ask someone from the planet earth for their history.

History:

As of the 7th of January, 2020, a portal was opened up south of Veldir. It connected Gilda to modern Earth. With a gateway opened, the Mother Tree's spirit linked to the new planet. Golems could now be created upon Gilda's soil.
The night it happened, wizards all over Gilda suddenly began to produce these strange little creatures. Some of them were young if built with weak amounts of wild arcane. Others appeared older if more arcane had been put into their creation.
Everyone was rather confused about them showing up out of the blue.

Advanced Lore:

Golems currently only live for one year.
When golems are created, depending on how much wild magic they were given will determine how old they appear.
- So, if a little bit of wild magic was used, they can appear as young as a newborn.
- If a lot of wild magic was used, they can be born immediately as a fully-grown adult.
- Some golems can appear as old as 50 or 60. They tend to not look any older unless they choose to change their appearance in that manner.
If a golem appears young, they will grow a year every day until they reach an appearance of 18. They will henceforth appear 18 until the end of their year.
Golems can evolve to do things that appear more human. (Check tidbits)
All golems may struggle to keep their tattoos and scars unless they are acquired through magical means.
