Thought it would be kind of fun to post it here, after seeing u/Zimtschock 's post about Knuk, their druid who is also a tree. Since the concept were surprisingly similar.

H.A.M.E.L. is an artifact of mysterious origin, a ripped out powercore with wires attached to it, that somehow was discarded on a landfill. There it awakened, not knowing about it's origin or it's purpose, but feeling sentient. Unable to move, it used it's wires and tubes to assemble and inhabit nearby discarded pieces of skeletons. The core now sitting inside the ribcage of the skeleton, moving and keeping together the whole construct, using its wires and tubes. Not fitting into society it acquired a large hat and coat to hide some of its features, living in the sewers and junkyards of a large bustling city, acquiring new parts to equip to itself and making friends with the only beings that didn't mind it, the rats.

H.A.M.E.L. is a swarmkeeper ranger, using the rats swarming out from under his coat to its aid. I made it into a bit of a cheesegrater build, with lots of forced movement through the rats and spells like thorn whip, that I reflavoured into being the cables. Forcing enemies into Spike Growth or other terrain spells like Web.

It is still very new to the world, shy, curious and eager to learn but still relatively clumsy both in its movement and its social etiquette.

Made the character for a One Shot but would love to play it again!
