Relations

Other Groups

Cyborg relations are pragmatic, strained, and deeply shaped by memory.

  • Baseline Humans: Viewed with protectiveness, pity, or frustration. Cyborgs remember what humans lost — and what they refused to become.

  • Traditional Mages: Distrusted. Magic without structure is seen as irresponsible, especially post-Monicue.

  • The Ardrathi: Respected cousins-in-chaos. Their invention is admired, though Cyborgs consider them reckless with consequence.

  • The Ascendant Algorith: Feared enemy and philosophical mirror. Where the Algorith seeks purity and erasure, Cyborgs value memory and scarred continuity.

  • Vivis Codex Followers: Often allied. Both embrace transformation, though Cyborgs favor steel over flesh and controlled evolution over instinct.

Cyborgs are rarely welcomed in polite society — but when catastrophe strikes, they are often the first called and the last standing.

Notable Members

Praetor Nivex

Voice of the Shrouded Signal
A strategic philosopher-general whose body exists partially in broadcast state. His words reach entire enclaves simultaneously. Rumored to have died three times — and returned each time with fewer emotions and more clarity.

Delta-Ash

Woundforge Sentinel
A towering guardian fused with a broken forge-core. Speaks rarely. When they move, gravity hesitates. Believed to house the memories of an entire lost city.

Orison-K3

Memory-Walker and Archivist
Specialist in memory retrieval and psychological repair. Can extract trauma without deleting identity — a rare and dangerous skill.

Unit-Seven “Shiver”

Nomad Hunter
A Monicue-killer who wanders alone, rejecting permanent Signal linkage. Leaves behind scrap-totems marking zones made safe — or emptied.

Mother Coil

Rustlight Elder
An ancient Cyborg who rejected full conversion and now exists as a network of semi-autonomous prosthetics. Each limb teaches a different philosophy.
