change team/occupation to 'warden of the fallen kingdom' or something similar, it just sounds better.

aura/effects, N/A will suffice. that bit about its mater or whatevr just feel out of place.

nothing to say on appearance,

Just pick a height, if you want this thing to be intimidating, go with the apprxoimately 7'6" that a head above Yatsuhashi would be, if you want it to be somewhat less conspicuous, go with 6'

as for weight, brass is FUCKING HEAVY, about 15% heavier than steel, so based on height, it should be 300-400lbs depending on height and how much of it is actually brass.

how is it a manipulator if it kills everything it sees? No agreement there.

Actually, its master has performed some experiments regarding the Soul of sentient lifeforms. And I have considered having him use automatons such as this as part of some of those.

The thing's meant to be swift and agile, yet also intimidating. Eh, might just make 7 feet tall, enough for it to come faceplate-to-face with Yarsuhashi.

The metal bastard's supposed to be sneaky as hell, but that might just come from its usage of wings. I suppose having that much weight can act as an intimidation factor.

That doesn't mean that it'll kill on sight. It might've been designed as a foot (or wing rather)-soldier, but it's not dumb. The tide of battle can turn at anypoint, so it pays to develop some adaptability. In times of war, brute strength alone wouldn't help you survive. It's pretty much a requirement in its programming. So in its optics, some of those intruders are much more valuable alive than dead.

This is remnant, they didn't require tesla or some other really bright person to discover electricity, they essentially appear to have had it since the harnessing of fire and air, meaning that AI work could have theoretically begun at around the time of combustion engines... still a stretch... but entirely possible, especially if this is not the Humans Home-world and they lost centuries of development to war/grimm. A lot of its Kingdom's tech was lost to time. In its days, it was a bit like Atlas, being a major figure in technology. In some areas, it lags behind the countries of the present day. In other fields, it makes the Atleasians look like cavemen. However, many of those advancements came with some... controversy.
