Appearance: The Queen strikes an imposing figure at seven foot, five inches tall. The only remains of her humanity are her head and her respiratory system. Her eyes have been replaced with an advanced camera system and targeting matrix making it so only the bottom half of her face and her hair betray her human origin. Her neck has been encased in armor leading into her body which is nothing more than a glass case reinforced with bronze containing a portion of her power systems and her respiratory system, all sustained within a thick blue fluid. Her waist is a simple pivoting system that leads to her porcelain made legs which would look human if not for the large gaps between the plates and their see-through nature showing the clockwork within. Her left arm resembles the same machinery of her legs but with no porcelain to cover it. The scabbard for her sword ‘Snickersnack’ is located inside her arm, she can draw her sword by launching it and grabbing it mid launch when she needs it. On the right side of her torso replacing an arm is a massive gear which is used to pivot/position a monstrous contraption made by her, a combination of an UAN Lincoln autocannon and a R.T Phosphorous thrower. Her only clothes are her crown, her cape, and four tabards around her waist

Personality: Generally tries to be friendly the Queen only has the best of intentions for her people but like most R.Ts her methods are questionable. Her personality is extremely volatile, Ancillia knows this well as to call someone Qog-like in northern Ancillia is a common insult to one who is acting petty (though none are brave enough to use it around her or her people.). The most famous example this is any attempted diplomatic discussion with her. Any diplomat dispatched by his lord to meet with her knows that any offer besides total acceptance of her demands will result in death, this is such common knowledge that most lords only use diplomacy as a way of slowing her with the ‘diplomats’ usually being the most well spoken of prisoners.

The Queen has a borderline obsession with children many declaring their value supersedes an adult’s this adoration goes to the point of her making her country, military, and even her image designed in a way that would “Put them at ease” Under her rule many laws have been passed to protect them and small fiefs on the Ancil-heim border have been smashed due to rumors of child slavery.

Despite all this the Queen claims herself to be anti violence and her main goal is to “remove strife globally.” She refuses to deter from her original plan despite R.T’s invitation to take the rank of RH, seeing all who don’t follow said plan as an opponent.

Due to her history as an independant R.T she has become an accomplished robotics expert and mechanic.

Relationships

Underlings

Jorn Kemmler: The Queen holds the utmost trust in this herald, assigning him a fairly large amount of resources in order to assist Alice’s group. Sadly this trust is misplaced.

The council of Nifleheim elders: The Queen holds a uneasy relationship with those in control of Nifleheim as the Queen sees them as a group of child killers who must be phased out, while they see her as tyrant that’s is trying to forcefully destroy their identity and kill their culture. But both need each other to fight off the threat of Ancillia in the south.

Allies

The Scholar: The Scholar of R’malth and the Queen have fairly neutral feelings to each other but their alliance is an important one besides sharing information about old technology, R’malth also imports wood from Queensland’s world trees and food in exchange for a safe fly zone and metal needed by the Queen’s military. The Scholar himself sees the Queen as a convenient partner who doesn’t bog down their interactions with religious bureaucracy while the Queen finds him inoffensive and largely out of the way of her plans.

Ronin: While not a fan of R.T it is hardly a unified force and the Queen is much more willing to listen to those that help her, Ronin’s group is exactly that. The two aren’t close at all but willing to trade favors.

Enemies

Jane: Jane and the Queen of Gears don't exactly see eye to eye on subjects such as slavery, the purpose of children, and basic rights. This has made her a major enemy of the Queen, groups of those wearing the colors of Jane are usually fair game for hunting in Queensland.

RH: Two unreasonable cyborgs with their own personal armies do not mix well, besides this with the Queen being the only living R.T with the traits required to be RH, the current one has no problem executing her for ‘treason’

Preacher: The Lich that terrorizes Queensland/Nifleheim has gotten under the Queen's skin for years but despite that his island has been unbreachable so far.

Powers/mutations

Bully: The Queen's body falls under R.T’s ‘bully’ classification of body types, making her eerily tall and unbearably heavy along with motive systems that make her deceptively fast runner.
R.T: The Queen is mostly droid and can replace broken body parts as well as upgrade them, her battery is also set to self destruct once her vital signs cease.

Snickersnack: The Queen’s sword is a falchion with a blade on each side, one of which counts as a mythic blade the other a vorpal one, an electric current runs through the blade, meant to stun those hit.

Kingbreaker: A Lincoln autocannon fused to an R.T Phosphorus thrower, she can fire both at once for deadly effect

History

Pre R.T (Early history): Like most R.T.s the Queen’s history is skewed. Logs recovered from factories state that the woman who would become the Queen of Gears was an elementary school teacher in New Nagasaki. She suffered from depression for most of her adult life until she suffered a miscarriage and murdered her husband a week later. Her file after that is blank and it’s assumed that RH found her at that point.

Accidental empire (Early but not quite as early) history: It’s assumed QoG was not put to sleep, recycled, or locked inside one of the factories like most other R.T.s as recordings of her activities date back before the end of RH’s sleep cycle. She was most likely intended to be used in a floating city’s garrison as her next appearance on record is at The Wheel, a fairly long distance from Japan. She eventually moved north to Nifleheim. After finding the dead body of a twelve year old with a spear she advanced to the nearest village to find who was responsible for using child soldiers. Upon finding it was the town itself that did so and her subsequent requests to stop being laughed at, she proceeded to slaughter all in power in the village, this according to the old laws of Nifleheim made her the leader. Later finding out that the rest of the country followed similar rules, she began building an army and cutting through the leadership of all villages around her. With half their country now under the control of a singular ruler along with the genocidal Ancillians to their south, the rest of Nifleheim gave in to diplomatic talks with the queen and agreed to begin the process of changing their ways in exchange for her support in the fight against Ancillia.
I feel like I'm starting to get better at this. Another character for what's hopefully a bretty good pen and paper rpg/story not sure which medium I wanna use yet. Art was once again commissioned from my friend shunketsunoponi.deviantart.com .

If you notice anything wrong please tell me, trying to get better at this after all.
