Sophia

Lore:

Regardless of what you think of golems, good or bad, ethical or immoral, you can't deny the impact they have on society, for both good and bad. They help in whatever situation they are created for, whether it'd be for combat, recreation, medicine, or any other occupation you can think of. Although for the most part, they are only as competent as what their algorithms dictate, at least when it comes to the mechanical ones. Any other golems from any other material can achieve much more, probably because they were created entirely from magic, or some other thing that isn't dictated by electricity and cables. However, even the mechanical ones can surprise from time to time, and the most notable example of such a golem is arguably the one that goes by the name of Sophia. Originally created as a prototype by Professor Archibald Manning, Sophia was supposed to be the precursor for what would become a series of automatons for the betterment of Piltover. As the prototype, her purpose was to teach others whatever they desired in order to become better in that particular subject. And she did exactly that, and quite successfully too. Although Manning initially thought that Sophia's algorithms would only allow her to be proficient in only one subject, therefore rendering her ineffective for the long-term as an individual golem, which would incentivize the need for a series of golems just like her. However, there were some unprecedented surprises, as Sophia quickly showed her capability for adaptation. She would observe her surrounding and learn endlessly of the world around her; an automaton as equally effective as it is curious, she would never cease to surprise, far exceeding what was expected of her. She was so effective as an identity of herself that Manning grew attached to her, to the point where he reconsidered creating more of her, as it would take away what made her special as an individual. But she would soon prove herself to the majority of Piltover in one particular event. On one bright day, a robbery occurred in some random store in Piltover. There was nothing special in particular about the robbery, except that that the robbers were more than evasive of the authorities chasing them. Incidentally, Manning and Sophia just happened to witness the explosion that created the escape route for the robbers. Sophia, knowing only that she must help society for the better, rushed to the Wardens' side. Throughout the chase, she told them what they must do in order to capture the robbers, whether it be to take this road or where to shoot. Not even ten minutes have passed, and the robbers were already caught. Impressed with her performance, the Wardens requested that Sophia become part of their team, as she will surely assist her in all of their needs. Seeing this as an opportunity for Sophia to be effective like how she was planned, Manning repurposed her into a combat oriented golem, without comprising her propensity for learning and teaching. Now suited for both fighting and assisting, Sophia will become part of Piltover's authority, always making sure that everything is in place, always standing by the side of those that uphold the law. And maybe, she will also tell the rookies how they need to act on the field. And if they can't get it right, then she might as well do it herself. Because now, she definitely can.

Appearance:

Sophia is a Piltovan golem colored silver. Her design is supposed to give the idea that she's a "smart" robot (imagine what you will, since I didn't have anything specific for her). However, after her recruitment to the Wardens, she has also been equipped with weapons to make her a more combat-oriented robot without comprising her identity as a teacher. So she's a smart-looking armed Warden golem… of sorts
