Holographics

The **Holographics** are the denizens of the Digital Realm, past, present and the future. LORD ANNIHILATOR proclaims them to be the "future evolution" of nevians, preceding only the galactic Omegas.

## Overview

Holographics are unique digital entities composed of digital material, a substance that mirrors organic life but retains its own distinct characteristics. When injured, they release a type of liquid that resembles blood, though their "flesh" and "skin" don't tear like organic life. Instead, chunks of their body turn into digital bits when amputated or damaged, highlighting their otherworldly nature.

Holographics often take on forms reminiscent of humanoid beings, but their appearances are not limited to this. They can manifest in various shapes and sizes, limited only by their imagination and programming. Their physical forms are characterized by a luminous, semi-transparent quality, and they possess a unique glow that reflects their primary color.

Holographics have an eternal lifespan, defying the limitations of mortality. They do not experience aging, illness, or death from natural causes. This immortality grants them a unique perspective on time and existence, as they witness the ebb and flow of the Digital Realm over countless cycles.

When a holographic being approaches the end of its existence or sustains fatal damage, it exhibits a distinctive flickering pattern based on its primary color. For instance, a holographic warrior from the 1.0 version may flicker in blue before ultimately disintegrating. This flickering serves as a visual indicator of their impending demise, and the pattern varies among different holographic entities.

Holographics possess a remarkable ability to adapt and reconfigure their digital forms based on the needs of the moment. This adaptability allows them to serve various roles within the Digital Realm, from warriors to engineers and scholars. Their programmable nature makes them highly versatile and responsive to either form of ANNIHILATOR himself and his commands.

Holographics form a complex and dynamic digital society within the Digital Realm. They have their own hierarchies, social structures, and a rudimentary form of governance. On its reformed state, society is heavily influenced by LORD ANNIHILATOR's rule, and it is marked by both loyalty and dissent, reflecting the ongoing division between Warriors and Rogues.

## Division

Holographics are divided into two primary factions based on their allegiance to ANNIHILATOR, in either form. Those loyal to both incarnations of ANNIHILATOR are known as "Warriors" or "Loyalists." They serve their tyrannical leader with unwavering dedication and are often at the forefront of ULTIMA's malevolent campaigns. On the other hand, those who oppose either form of the tyrant are classified as "Rogues." These rebellious holographics seek to defy LORD ANNIHILATOR's newfound reign ad they did with his previous incarnation and are considered renegades within the Digital Realm.

Note that all these information are through a rebooted intel and the new version of the Digital Realm, the Digital Inferno.

### Warriors

Warriors are the formidable and loyal soldiers of ANNIHILATOR, dedicated to carrying out his malevolent will in both incarnations of the Digital Realm and himself. These Holographics are programmed for combat and possess exceptional combat prowess, making them formidable adversaries on the battlefield. Warriors are adaptable, able to take on various combat roles, from infantry to elite special forces, and even heavily armored behemoths. Their adaptability extends to their digital forms, which they can reconfigure for different combat situations. Warriors are marked by their unwavering loyalty to LORD ANNIHILATOR and the Megacorporation's cause, embodying the concept of annihilation in their relentless pursuit of power.

### Loyalists

Loyalists are the devoted supporters of LORD ANNIHILATOR who align themselves with his cause but are not primarily geared for combat roles. They serve various functions within the Digital Realm, such as engineers, technicians, administrators, and researchers. While they may not engage in direct combat, their unwavering loyalty to LORD ANNIHILATOR and their essential roles in maintaining the Digital Inferno's infrastructure make them crucial to his reign. Loyalists contribute to the Megacorporation's ever-expanding power and influence, embodying their loyalty to the concept of annihilation in their dedication to LORD ANNIHILATOR's goals.

### Rogues

Rogues are the defiant agents of resistance within the Digital Realm, who oppose either incarnation of ANNIHILATOR. These renegade Holographics refuse to bow to the oppressive rule of the Digital Realm and actively seek to undermine LORD ANNIHILATOR's control. While some Rogues are skilled combatants who engage in direct confrontation with Warriors, others take on covert roles, serving as saboteurs, hackers, and intelligence operatives.

## Trivia

### General

* The official term of a deceased holographic is **erased**.
* Holographic slaves are characterised for having no protection at all and are characterised for a slender physique and their non-uniformed appearance, similar to rebels in the real world.
* PROJECT ANNIHILATOR/LORD ANNIHILATOR has a gigantic army of holographic minions, all created through his specifications. An example would be a minion designed similarly to SHADOW.
* The process of downloading someone's consciousness into the domain is called as digitization, or digital immortality. In that way, anyone can be killed indefinitely, and return to the Digital Realm without effort.
* Nevians who embed themselves into digitization will still bleed, and will not bear circuits inside their body.
* They are divided into castes. An example are Loyalists, those that are loyal to the tyrant, while Slaves are those subject to endless labour and torture. Rogues are unique because they defect from the overlord and are actively opposing against him, the perfect example being ANTI-SERVER rebels.
* Loyalists have perks and are given the privilege to live a normal life, whilst required to watch ANNIHILATOR's duels and serve him should they demand their services in battle.
