Diesel Gear

The Diesel Gear is a modern marvel of Spiral engineering; utilizing pliable metals and complex circuitry, Volkeris natives have been able to breathe life into once-dormant machines. Thus is born the Diesel Gear; a menacing, albeit rudimentary sentry drone that defends against foreign threats. While no means as impressive as some of the other technological feats in Avashesh, the Diesel Gear makes up for it in reliability and durability.

Appearance
Diesel Gears have variance in appearance, given how modular they can be. The most common model sits around 12 to 14 feet tall, with a brass/bronze metal used throughout the outer surface. Dependent on age, the Diesel Gear's outer shell will turn green due to oxidization. True to their name, Diesel Gears operate off of gas power, with smoke constantly being expelled through the gaps of the outer shell. Most models come equipped with a 3 foot arm blade, easily capable of piercing the thick carapaces of monsters native to Volkeris. Lastly, red eyes denote an extensive sensory array, able to pick up distant threats.

Diet
As a machine, Diesel Gears do not traditionally eat; rather, they fueled entirely through gasoline. Given how rare fossil fuels are in the current day and age, Diesel Gears have an operational lifetime of roughly 3-4 hours before they need to be serviced again. Likewise, the fuel economy issue ensures that only 20 Diesel Gear models are ever active at any given point in time; even less outside of Veidle.

Habitat
Diesel Gears mostly exist within the island of Volkeris, as they are a product of genius minds building with what limited materials they have. While not entirely uncommon outside the city walls, the Volkeran capital of Veidle houses the main factory that produces them, and really has the best means to service the maintenance-heavy Diesel Gear. They can mostly be seen patrolling the city's high walls at night, with their red glow and aura of smoke visible at a distance.
