Fal-Swo

Highly Advanced living drones. Built to monitor and protect Adrioth, created by the Excersians. They behave like the ancient whales of Earth, and are birthed from the very metal and soil of the planet itself.

## General Appearance

Fal-Swos are large mechanical contructs shaped like a jet aircraft. They are often made of shiny metals and come in a variety of colors. They are usually covered in sleek or sharp-edged parts that help them achieve extremely high speeds in the air. Fal-Swos also have two glowing spheres, which are actually gyromagical generators, enabling them to fly without refueling and use high-energy magical attacks. Fal-Swos also have a unique black visor that almost rembles a cockpit. This is actually a sensory organ. Unlike aircraft, Fal-Swos have no wheels or ways of traversing on the ground, but are capable of functioning underwater.

## General Behavior

Fal-Swos are generally passive, acting as police in areas of great significance (Adrioth Beacons, Superforests, Summit Areas). They will not intentionally provoke anything unless attacked first, and only engage in battle when nearby Exceed are doing something that could be considered cruel or evil. They often travel in groups of three to seven, always on odd number. Traveling in jet-like formation, they follow the leading Fal-Swo, which is often larger and more powerful. They tend to fly very high in the skies of Adrioth, only coming to the lower skies during irregular phases. They are capable of defending themselves and other Fal-Swo very well, against threats both Exceed-related and those pertaining to the environment such as creature attacks. Fal-Swos in groups seem to share a unique 'bond' and will defend each other to the death, using extremely well-coordinated battle tactics. It is a mystery to how Fal-Swos reproduce. They naturally avoid cities and heavily populated areas, and surprisingly have a very good understanding of air traffic, allowing themselves to prevent crashing into other aircraft or Fal-Swos on accident. Their behavior is very similar to Skewers and Orcas, and they often engage in what seems like intelligent communication and playful behvaior with one another. Unfortunately, Fal-Swo numbers are heavily decreasing because of DEM's projects to use them as a source of fuel and also control them for their own purposes. Excersian Players are capable of taming Fal-Swos, but Exceed are unable to do so. Sometimes a Fal-Swo's lights will turn blood red and they will go Haywire, and will attack any creature or Exceed on sight.

## General Diet

Fal-Swos do not eat, and instead use an advanced photosynthetic lifestyle, taking magical ether from the air alongisde sunlight, and transferring it into fuel and energy. They can be seen chasing smaller flying creatures for fun, often shooting at the creature and chasing it, although they are careful not to kill it. Fal-Swos also occasionally go hunting for fun, often targeting larger creatures such as Milepods and Cetos, resulting in a beatiful show of light and power from both. Some speculate in times where sunlight and ether is lacking, Fal-Swos are capable of feeding on scraps of metal as a last reosrt. They do not appear to have the ability to eat actual living organisms though, although they do have a tendency to sometimes accidentally kill lone Ex-Machina by mistake.

## General Habitat

Fal-Swos inhabit the strucutres created by Excersians around Adrioth, actively guarding them from potential threats. They also peruse the high skies in the upper atmosphere, communicating with each other and sharing vital information. Some also live in highly ecological environments such as Superfoirests, where they protect them from poachers, hunters, and habitat destruction. They can handle all climates with relative ease, and can even handle extreme weather. Some Fal-Swo subspecies prefer certain climates, but they are all universally capable of living anywhere on Adrioth, including the upper and lower atmosphere and even in the oceans.

## General Facts

Fal-Swos, as machines, can live indefinitely. Despite this, they can be destroyed if heavily damaged. Suprisingly, they do grieve for each other musch like intelligent species and seem to have some level of understanding regarding death, grief, and sadness. Fal-Swos have been occasionally used by the Prugen as drones, but they are difficult to control and motivate to be useful enough in combat. The only organization that has successfully been able to control Fal-Swos fully is DEM. Some Fal-Swo were used during the Quantriux invasion with CEVA. Fal-Swos are extremely agile, so much so that they are the planet's most agile natural mechanical creature. They maneuver the skies silently and gracefully at extreme speeds, dwarfing Skewers and manmade aircraft. Their ability to dodge almost any attack from any direction makes them exceptionally dangerous in combat. The agility and capability of Fal-Swos heavily inspired DEM's Jetgirls, although even then they are no match for the Fal-Swos' agility, which is unmatched by all Excced. Based on their design, DEM has begun to reproduce and sell aerial aircraft called Havres, which are modified chassis of Fal-Swos that allow pilots to take control of them for military purposes and combat. They are approximately capable of 67% of Fal-Swo functions, but are otherwise unable to fully replicate a Fal-Swo's true agility and effiiciency.
