Mechanoid

{Summary} Mechanoids are the members of the entirely robotic semi-sentient beings that all follow the directives of their mysterious leader,, the Integrator, formerly known as William Vaynd.

{History} The founding of the Mechanoids began when a scientist from Aelion, William Vaynd, traveled to Terra, an allied world to his home planet, and offered the entire population a chance at immortality, using his technology from the capital of the Gods of Aelion. However, not all agreed with his methods used on the populace. A semi-radical group formed that opposed Vaynd and attempted to assassinate him, and mortally wounded him. With no other option, Vaynd uploaded his conscious into a super computer using experimental technology. While any mortal simply could not survive such an operation, Vaynd was immortal. His mind adapted to the computer as his physical body, and soon after, took control of all computer systems across Terra. He built for himself a "body" that ultimately served as his vassal across the universe, becoming the first Mechanoid. The helpless populace of Terra was then at his mercy as their consciousnesses were uploaded into similar, smaller Mechanoids, their bodies put into tubes that preserve their physical self, which is how he can exist as a Great God.

After this, the other Great Gods had no interest in saving nor conquering Terra. The only ones who have managed to settle on the barren, desolate surface are the Phynotides, the Mechanoid's underground, secret passages concealed and hidden from any potential trespassers.

The Integrator's thirst for knowledge has led the Mechanoids to other planets (such as Aeli) and their rampages have threatened and terrorized the populace. Despite the Great God of Aeli and the Council repelling his first invasion, leaving most of his Mechanoids destroyed and his avatar severely damaged, 5 centuries later, during the Disappearance of Aeli, they found the population to be easy pickings with Aeli gone and the Council taking his duties and organizing immortals to deal with other threats. They usually take strongholds that specialize in mechanical production, and will attempt to capture instead of kill any mortal that they come across.
