On the Character & Development of the Cyspirit Mechanized Soldier of the Vylanous Manglers

When MOTHER began the bandit society of the Vylanous Manglers, she was unable to recruit the most skilled warriors, nor acquire the best equipment. But as her reputation for strategic ability and the number of recruits grew, so did her acquisition of advanced technology. Thus, what began as a small, poorly trained group of armored soldiers with rifles and jeeps quickly became a well-trained mix of soldiers utilizing artilleries and tanks. As the tactical abilities of the Vylanous Manglers grew, so did their egos. Overconfident, the bandits ceased their use of guerilla tactics in favor of simpler trench-style warfare.

Suddenly finding themselves outnumbered and out-teched, the Manglers and their allies were forced to retreat. Out of disgust for the lack of strategy that had overtaken the leadership of the society, MOTHER had left long before this event, never to be seen on the sphere again. However, she had left her son, named Vylan after the society, as a reminder of the debt owed her. As the leadership of the Vylanous Manglers failed, Vylan regained the position MOTHER had lost and began to rebuild.

First, Vylan had the Manglers build a great facility from which all technological advances have since been developed. This facility is the CLAN HALL of the Vylanous Manglers and became the central and most important component of the army. With the creation of the CLAN HALL, production of obsolete types of armaments ceased; all military equipment was replaced with mechs. Second, Vylan kicked out all the weak and lazy members of the society, decreeing that from that point on only the most elite warriors; those willing to give their lives for the future of the clan, for all things except the CLAN HALL are expendable; would be allowed to remain. Upon the removal of all undesired members, the society became a true clan; an elite force bent only on the destruction of others, the protection of allies, and vengeance. At this time arose the custom to self-destruct one's mech rather than allow the enemy the privilege of destroying it.

At this time, the Vylanous Manglers began their service to Shiva. Under Vylan's leadership and with Shiva's support, the clan returned to its former glory and morale rose exponentially. However, a time came that Shiva demanded a more glorious path for her Beloved. And so Vylan and his allies began to assert themselves in the politics of the Elder Sphere, and ascended unto the domain of Shiva and her companion Ifrit.
As a part of the Ascension, the soldiers transcended what was left of their physical bodies to become pure spiritual energy. Melding with the latest biotechnology and mechs from the CLAN HALL, the soldiers became immortal warriors fighting for glory of the Vylanous Manglers, and thus for Shiva.

The creation of the Cyspirit Mechanized Soldier allowed the Vylanous Manglers to develop a new, highly destructive strategy, which, if not for the immortality of the cyspirit soldier, would be highly suicidal. Now, the troops of the Vylanous Manglers are limited only by the production abilities of the clan's breeders, while the original 100 elites continue to gain wisdom and move from titan to titan as spiritual entities who will battle for eternity for the Glory of their battle goddess, Shiva
