Quantriux

Deadly machines hailing from an ancient Timeline. They seem focused on an unknown task regarding the Hive and the Darkness, and seek to rid Adrioth of all instances of Darkness....

## Appearance

The Quantriux are virtually identical to the Vex, except for certain modifications, such as more aggressive body parts with razor-sharp edges and more advances weaponry. They are bursting with a red, particle energy known as CEVA. Their eyes glow a vibrant red even more so than ordinary Vex, and their bodies are made of an extremely light and tough material. Their are multiple variants of Quantriux, and stronger units begin to look less Vex and more alien. Nonetheless, they are still brimming with CEVA, the telltale signature of the Quantriux forces.

## Lifespan and Lifestyle

The Quantriux are mechanical beings, and thus can live for thousands of years. Although normal Vex often live for more than 5000 years, CEVA continuously maintains the Quantriux, allowing them to live forever. As mechanical beings, Quantriux do not eat, drink, or sleep, and because of CEVA, do not fuel of any sort. Even among machine races, they are considered "nonliving" because they require zero maintenance or effort to exist. If they are damaged or die, they can simply transfer their consciousness to themselves in the past before returning them to the future, becoming virtually invincible.

## Religion

Quantriux do not appear to have free will, even though they actually do. Like Alta, the majority of their emotional receptors are sealed, making them act more like a hivemind. HIgher ranked units such as Axis Minds are capable of showing a high degree of emotion, although no Quantriux will ever disobey Alta, no matter their personality. Whether this is pre-progammed behavior to prevent betrayal, or they are simply loyal to her as their creator, is unknown. They also worship CEVA to a concerning effect, despite the fact that CEVA itself is not alive. Like certain Vex groups, the Quantriux have also taken self-interest in the darkness and the light, although they always put Alta and CEVA first.

## Culture

The Quantriux have no culture, as they have no form of society. Their entire lifestyle is baed on their collective, the Hive Mind through which they operate. The Quantriux have no goals beyond following Alta's orders, so are either following her orders, replenishing their energy, or on standby for orders. The Quantriux do not care whatsoever about other races, and have no remorse in killing them if told to do so. However, Quantriux also never stray from their orders, and will not go out of their way to harm innocents or attack nations unless directly told to do so. Just as in the Vex and Sirens, "Culture" is almost nonexistent for the Quantriux. Emotions are almost nonexistent in Quantriux culture, since it is rarely necessary to get the job done. They do help each other in combat, but this may be programmed behavior, rather than compassion.

## Race Policy

The Quantriux initially prioritized expanding themselves across Adrioth, but stopped after establishing their main base of Operations out of River City. The focused entirely after that to eliminating the Taken threat, as well as making regular attacks on the Hive, and any other races associated with the Darkness. The Quantriux by no means are open to communicate, and most of them aren't even capable of direct speech. They can speak telepathically to mechanical races, but have no way of communicating to living beings. Usually the only way Quantriux can speak to Exceed are through rare vessel units, or through Constructs such as Lucia and Luna. Quantriux have a governing system surrounding "Minds" and seem to have laws and morals in line with Alta.

## Nation

The Quantriux have no nation, although they are born somewhere on the Arbatel, their Mothership and home dimension, the Conflux. The Conflux is a Vex dimension housed within the Arbatel, stolen by Akros from Atheon and Kronii's Vex. It is a space that allows for the birth of new Quantriux minds and units, but also a recovery system; any units that die can be replaced with units from the past, ensuring an ever growing and never ending amount of Quantriux.

## Capability

The Quantriux are extremely proficient in physical and ranged attacks, and while their technology may appear to be magical, it is simply very advanced. They excel in all forms of combat, but are completely unable to use true magic. They are still dangerous however, because of their replicator weapons. If a magical attack is used against and kills a Quantriux unit, other nearby units can copy the attack against the offender. Once the magical attack is learned, it can be sent through the Vex network, permanently allowing all Quantriux to use the magical attack. Advanced Quantriux units also have shields that block all magic, making magic attacks against them useless. In addition to this, they have an arsenal of advanced technology for various ranges of combat and defense.
