The main antagonist forthis story of mine...

1) Basic Info


 * Name: N/A. While it does have a designation, I don't exactly plan on revealing it right now. For now, it'll be called the "Brass Demon".
 * Team/occupation: N/A, currently functions as the remaining wardens of its fallen Kingdom
 * Species: N/A. It's a mechanical automaton.
 * Age: Unknown. At the the very least, possibly a century. At most, possible thousands of years old.
 * Sex: N/A. While Penny might have a "gender", this construct doesn't. It's a cold, calculating killing machine, especially in the literal sense.
 * Handedness: Ambidextrous. Considering its robotic nature, it has no problem using either hand (or claws, rather).
 * Aura/Effects: N/A (although there is the possibility of me diving into some... darker aspects of it's master's past. And its role in it.
 * Symbol: The faction it belongs to has its own symbol. Basically, it consists of an eye with a gear replacing the pupil.
 * Physical traits: The construct is vaguely modeled after a human skeleton, possessing a torso carved like a ribcage and skull-like head. It possesses a part of wings on its back, utilizing an early form of the modern folding-frame technology seen today. Small turbines or fans are near these, with a "thruster" wielded at the center of its backside. Both its feet and servos are clawed.
 * Misc traits: This particular specimen appears to have made some type of alterations to itself. Some parts of its body might be of a slightly different color or condition. This implies that the automaton has had to do some maintenance on itself prior to the arrival of the protagonists and every other unfortunate soldier arriving at its domain.
 * Nickname(s): Brass Demon, Flyer, Bomber (Think that might've been a bit of a spoiler?), Iron Wraith, Metalhead

2) Appearance:


 * Height: At least over 6 feet tall. Might be around seven. Hell, it might even be a head taller than Yatsuhashi.
 * Weight: Possibly between a hundred or two pounds.
 * Eyes: It's optics are basically ruby/bloodshot red.
 * Face: The head is vaguely modeled after that of a skull (although lacking the lower jaw).
 * Hair: N/A
 * Physique: It's not really as broad as Yatsuhashi, but it stand at about his height. It's a rather lean figure, being able to slip through a light of stuff.
 * Combat Outfit: N/A
 * Casual Outfit: N/A

3) Characteristics:


 * Personality: This, by all means, is a cold and calculating machine . It will do whatever it's master tells to, even if the old man died out long ago. It has no problems with butchering anything standing in its way: Human, Faunus, Grimm, they're all hardly any different from the optics of this abomination. At best, minor distractions or objects of interest. At words, obstacles and enemies of its master. As a machine, its willing to do anything to advance its goals, and it isn't shy about getting dirt on its talons. If need-be, however, it may also prove to be a skilled manipulator.
 * Background: Back when its Kingdom still exists, this model of automaton were designed for war. They would rain bullets and hell-fire (or rather Dust) on their enemies, tear them to ribbons, pluck them from the ground and drop them like seagulls with clams, and so much more. And then... something happened. Whatever it was, many of its kin were rendered inoperable, and whatever robotic creation still function had to make survival their primary objective. Right now, they're all stranded on a forgotten island, rusting away. That was, until The War came. Soldiers from all sides washed ashore on their soil, bringing in their wrecked ships and some technology with them. What they don't realize is that they bring... opportunity to this dead land as well. And this automaton has some things in store for these confused fools and puppets.

4) Combat info:


 * Position/Class: How does "Stalker" or "Hunter" sound?
 * Landing strategy: Dude, it's got wings. And turbines and a thruster to boot. Granted, the last thing is primarily used for lift-off, but anyway...
 * Weapon: Mainly its claws, but its model are often outfitted with a melee and/or gun in each of its arms. However, it can discard these weapons and integrate new ones into its chassis. Course, they'd have to be small to fit in, or have to be broken-down and reverse engineered. The wings are believed to be as strong as steel and razor sharp, so they work as makeshift blades and shield as well. They can also fire dust from certain openings, typically either from where the "jaw" should be or from converting their arms into "Dust-throwers".
 * Semblance: Considering that it has no soul, it'd be rather pointless to have this around. Although, it might have some... methods to emulate a Semblance.
 * Fighting style: In the past, these things would be unleashed upon their enemies by the hundreds, drowning them in fire and bullet. Nowadays however, this unit has resorted to being something of a scavenger, looking for basic materials to maintain itself. Now that someone's set foot on this rusting corpse of a nation, however, it's bound to stalk and observe them. And once its learned enough, it'll strike without warning. If the target manages to survive the first attack, though, they won't last long. It's about as savage and unrelenting as a Grimm, and as cunning and intelligent as a Human/Faunus. It's about as swift as the wind, and its steel chassis makes it difficult for any lone soldier to take down. Even a First-Year Student would have a hell of a fight. In sort, this abomination is what happens when you try to blend a Xenomorph or Predator with a Terminator.

5) Trivia:


 * Relationships: This construct was a bit of a devout follower of the leader of this dead country. Even after he died, it continued to heed his words. Beyond that, however, it doesn't really take too kindly with outsiders (considering that it started out its "life" as a war machine). Still, it might allow its prey to live should it consider them to be of some use. Might even toy with them a bit.
 * Notes: The main inspiration for this entity came from the "raptors" of Goerge Mann's steam punk novel "Ghosts of War". After seeing the Xenomorph in action in "Alien: Isolation", part of me wanted to try the concept of a cunning hunter/stalker, one that's very much aware of its environment.
 * Tropes: This, and possibly a dash of these as well.
