The Cleansed

## About

The Cleansed, led by the Fates Triumvirate, believe that the world needs a reset. Their main goal is to eliminate all conflicts, disease and crime by cleansing the entire world. Unfortunately, they do this, not with warm water and soap, but with a great big laser cannon that burns away everything except your bones.

## Troops

### Built:

Golden robots with single eyes, treads for feet and armed with 4 laser gatling guns, 2 rocket launchers and two high powered beam guns. These are the standard units of The Cleansed.

### Husks:

Husks are humans or animals (of any kind) that did not pass cleansing. They have been genetically rebuilt and turned into cyborgs, their brains coded with complete loyalty to The Cleansed along with every known combat maneuver in the world. They wear gold colored suits with black highlights, and a HUD screen on their helmet. Their arms can turn into pulse cannons with two settings (stun and kill) and they can also fire grappling hooks from their forearms. Special forces of the Cleansed.

### Apollos:

Apollos are essentially 2.0 Husks. They are Husks that have proven themselves to be exceptional and have been upgraded with bows that fire laser arrows and dual Xiphos (greek swords) that can launch energy waves, as well as a cloaking device. They wear Gold colored armor with white highlights and their helmets have a laurel wreath pattern around the top. Elite Cleansed forces.

### Zeus:

These are humans or animals (of any kind) that **did**pass cleansing. Their memories have been altered to be loyal to the Cleaned, along with every recorded combat maneuver in the world. They are utterly massive, standing at over 15' tall for humans, 8' for dogs. They are the field commanders of the Cleansed and are insanely powerful. They can shoot lightning from their hands or paws, which can be adjusted between widespread field of lightning or into a single powerful beam of annihilation. They wear gold armor with glowing golden highlights and lightning bolt emblems on the shoulders and knees (but not the head and toes). In melee combat, they wield laser swords with blades shaped like lightning bolts.

### Cyclops:

The biggest units in the cleansed army, standing at over 8 stories high. They are robots, meaning they are unfortunately some of the more commonly seen units. They are gold with red highlights, a single, but large, red eye, and a large red core in their chest. Aside from their sheer strength, they also weird large hammers that create a shockwave upon impact, as well as shoulder mounted, laser guided missile launchers and the ability to shoot an unstoppable, devastating laser beam from their eye.

## The Fates Triumvirate

The leading council of The Cleansed. They wear long, golden robes, with variations in highlights to tell who they are. Hoods conceals their faces in shadows. When together, they are virtually unstoppable, so facing them in the rare occasion that they are alone is recommended.

### Matter (black):

Matter, as he is referred to by his fellows, is silent, but powerful, able to levitate, terraform and use telekinesis. He also has super strength.

### Time (silver):

Time is the smartest of the three, and speaks in a smooth, skillful voice. He is capable of speeding up his movement and reaction time, giving him the appearance of super speed. He is also able to project a ray that slows down the time of other things, as well as being telepathic, allowing him to see what your next move will be.

### Energy (green):

The only girl of the Triumvirate, who does most of the talking for the group. She can shoot energy blasts from her hands, as well as absorb energy from her opponents, leaving them too tired to fight. She can also absorb energy from incoming projectiles, stopping bullets in mid air and completely draining laser blasts.

## History

Around 2016, as the world spiraled further and further into madness, three brave individuals took it upon themselves to bring peace and order. Their solution was as simple as it was old: Remove all free will.

They started quietly, with cybernetics experiments on volunteers, but eventually began mass-abductions and forceful conversions. It grew further and faster, with subterranean factories constructed by workers who need not sleep, nor drink, nor eat, nor question.

Eventually, the Cleansed revealed themselves to the world, with multiple incursion forces striking simultaneously, their gleaming mechanical hordes killing hundreds of people, and converting thousands more into soulless Husks.

They found themselves with many enemies: Reaper's Brigade and their allies were in completion for them with world domination, while Trussian forces sough to stop them for moral reasons. But chief among their foes was White Fence Security, who fought them tooth-to-gear with ferocious torched-terrafirma-tactics.

Eventually, the Fates Triumvirate's view of a perfect world would indeed come to pass in the form of the Corpus Federation. Their considerable metallic might fell under the control of the Cyber Legion, while the Triumvirate themselves because Underlords, and put their knowledge to work making sure the Federation ran like clockwork.
