# Introducing Heroes ## We've added a special class of robots for added twists and turns. ### Why Heroes ### Ideation and Card Design Ideas for Peacemaker Design: Mechanical gray head Nuclear "exhaust pipe" high collar around neck Electrical chest divisions and torso proportions Solar panel cape or sashes down the chest sides Chemical tank shoulders and pipes down the limbs I imagined the Peacemaker created with the image of a priest in mind. Regal and possibly the largest robot created but designed to appear non-intimidating. If these robots have AI, it would be programmed as Lawful Good without humans, develop into a Neutral Good and would malfunction into Chaotic Good. ![rough-electrical-robot](./peacemaker-sketch.png) **Fig. 1. Initial concept and notes.** ![draft-electrical-robot](./peacemaker-hero-robot.png) **Fig 2. Cleaned up draft.** ### The Peacemaker Background/Lore ``` "We hope that our project, this massive undertaking to unify technologies, will be revealed to and welcomed by a unified Rennova." —PEACEMAKER, (514AR) ``` ``` With rumors of war spreading through the system like a flammavian flock attack on a Civardian wheat field, the greatest minds of the scientific community gathered and locked themselves inside the Rennova Hall of Interfactional Advancement on Radixplor, attracting the attention of every media outlet. A statement, signed "PEACEMAKER", informed the public that no one would exit the building until their project, a robotic representation of all energy types effectively working together, was complete. Over the next four years, they televised monthly discussion circles and interviews from the workshop, hoping to exemplify the greatness that could be achieved through communication and respect among factions. ``` ### Other Heroes ### TL;DR We are truly excited to share our universe with you. Stay tuned for more. If you have any feedback for us please email us directly at [tworobotsio@gmail.com](mailto:tworobotsio@gmail.com?subject=Reader%20Feedback&body=Dear%20Two%20Robots) or reach out to us via one of our social media channels.
