I second @Bruho , and I have done something related. I created a servitor that is like sentient armor, in my case styles after the power armor from the Warhammer 40k fantasy universe.
You could so something like that. Here is a free tutorial one of our members made, but there are a few books on the subject.
When I began creating servitors, it seemed like every resource I came across dealt only with creating servitors that were meant to last for a short time. I had a problem that met the criteria for a servitor in every way- I wanted it to run constantly in the background, on its own, doing what I told it to like a good little pet, or something.
I tried and looked, surely one more search would tell me exactly how to do what I wanted to do.
Not really. I managed to piece together a process that actually worked damned well for myself. Later on, I found author Taylor Ellwood uses pretty much the exact same process, so it was a really nice confirmation to me that I was on a similar track.
I understand everything a lot better than I did way back then, so hopefully this update will help you make servitors designed to outlive you, rather than just be throwaways.
Note: Steps 1 and 2 can be interchangeable. I sometimes select the media, then decide the purpose based on the materials properties. Either way works as well as the other.
Decide what you want your servitor to do. Be realistic but realize that if it can be done with magic or energy, a servitor can do it.
Pick the material, object, or type of artwork that you will use to represent your servitor. It doesn’t matter if you pick an item that is already completed, a figurine, a ring, or if your arts and craftsy- anything you can create can be used to make a servitor, be it physical, digital, or energetic- creation is creatio…
