Deus ex machine

Races and their position

All beings can be divided into several. These are gods, people, demigods and other beings. Gods are the main ones in the world, demigods are their main assistants, and people are slaves of gods (except for people who are married to gods). Other species of creatures can live peacefully and normally.

Deus ex machina (DEM)

This is a project created by the Valkyries (demi-goddesses). It involves creating weapons that would help humans fight the gods. In addition to weapons, there are also machines, implants, and mutations. All inventions are created with the help of an unknown metal. Once a year, the Valkyries select people who will be allowed to participate in the project. Participants in the project are divided into certain ranks. The lowest is the recruit, the highest is the Experienced

Authorities around the world (World Government)

Power in the world is in the hands of the Council of Gods, which is legislative and makes all important decisions. The God Wings are the organ of authority responsible for transmitting the orders of the Council of Gods to the world and may participate in council meetings. The Court of Themis is a global court that deals with issues of global crimes or crimes aimed at killing members of the Council of Gods. There are always 12 gods in the Council of Gods and the council changes every 500 years. God's Wings are made up of 2 gods from each "country" that is, in God's Wings there are 400 gods and demigods working The exact number of participants in the Court of Themis is unknown, but the number varies from 50 to 300 key persons.

Local authorities

Everything depends on the god who rules this or that "country". Most often, power is divided into three branches: executive, legislative and judicial (as with the world government). But there are exceptions, just like in the real world

Departments Deus ex machina

The DEM project has many departments. They can all be divided into several types Labs are places where mutations are studied and new ways to fight. Also studying the bodies of creatures from the "Rift" Engineering is the department that creates weapons, suits and machines for the project participants and for the battle. Residential spaces are not exactly a department, but they are also important. The project has purchased residential spaces, most often near the main bases. Project participants can live there. Survivor camps are places more suited to small towns. They house people who have been saved from particularly cruel gods. Later, people from the camp are sent to the cities of angels, where they will be accepted Bases are places where all important information is received, meetings are held and soldiers are prepared before a mission. Most often, a base is equipped with barracks, a cafeteria, etc. The strongholds are places that are built in the area of ​​the Rift. There are fighters of the project who make sure that no one gets out of the Rift

Why does Deus ex machina exist?

This is due to the existence of crevices When the Council of Gods changed for the third time, cracks began to appear in the world that led to other worlds. Monsters often appeared from these cracks, which could sometimes kill both gods and other creatures. Therefore, the Valkyrie Brunhilda through the God's Wings conveyed the idea of ​​her help in exchange for some privileges. During Brunhilde's meeting with the Council of Gods a contract in which it is written "We, the World Council of Gods, approve the organization "Deus ex Machine". It will be allowed to save people from especially dangerous gods and to do any actions within the framework of God's laws. In exchange for this, Deus ex machina is obliged to get rid of the "Rift" and all the creatures that will emerge from them."

The goal of Deus ex machine

Defending human rights and destroying the Rifts that lead to other worlds. Also killing Rift creatures that try to harm anyone.

What is Rift?

A rift is a crack in the universe, it can appear anywhere and looks like a huge crack in which another world is visible. Most often, monsters appear from cracks. The cracks disappear over time and there is no exact answer as to how long they can last.

Types of participants Deus ex machine

Fighters are those who work with the Rifts and take people away from particularly cruel gods The Valkyries are the leaders of most of the project's affairs, there are 13 of them in total. Scientists are people who work in the project's laboratories. There are also medics, cooks for survivor camps. Scouts who study the environment and report the emergence of Rifts

The reason for the appearance of Rifts

Many assume that this is due to the fact that the earth was not yet ready for the gods to settle on it. But the exact reason is unknown.

How do Rifts appear?

Unknown. Rifts can appear absolutely anywhere and for no known reason.

Who can participate in Deus ex machina?

Anyone. If a being passes the tests and proves their desire to help the world or humanity, they can be accepted. Even if they are a god

How Deus ex machina applies to all gods?

The project hates tyranny towards people, so it tries to get rid of cruel gods. If a god is not bad, the project will not touch him.

How does the Deus Ex Machine technique work?

Anyone can use the Deus Ex Machine technology, but the desired effect is achieved when the employee merges the neuronucleus given to him with the weapon

What is a neuronucleus?

The neurocore is a clot of energy that remains after the death of gods if the god is killed by a special weapon. The neuronuclei are collected and taken to scientists, who make another neuronucleus from one, then the neuronuclei are given to employees so that they can find a connection with them

How can I get a neuronucleus?

Neuronuclei are obtained from gods killed with special weapons, or by creating them in the laboratories of Deus Ex Machine

Who are the "Experimentals"?

Experimental are veterans of Deus Ex Machina. You can become one only for great merits or long service. Experimentals are much stronger than regular employees and are usually more experienced in missions. Experimentals are a mixture of gods and humans that are created through the connection of the heart with the neuronucleus.

What kind of technology does Deus Ex Machine have?

Deus Ex Machina has modern technology, from motorcycles to exosuits. Regular employees use modern versions of various weapons

What does it mean to find a connection with the neuronucleus?

Employees of Deus Ex Machine are given a neuronusleus and they must somehow find a "common language" with the neuronucleus. Neuronucleus are believed to understand speech and attitudes towards them, but they themselves are just glowing balls, who do nothing themselvesIn other words, an employee should treat the neuronucleus like a pet.

How do you know that the connection with the neuronucleus has been established?

If the neuronucleus begins to levitate in the hands of the owner, then the connection was successful

What does a neuronucleus look like?

Glowing transparent balls with a core inside, it slightly resembles jelly. The size is small, slightly larger than the palm of the hand

What does the neuronucleus give to employees?

For an ordinary employee, the neurocore serves as a temporary body enhancer or a permanent weapon enhancer. At any moment the owner can pull the neurocore out of the weapon or body so that it becomes a ball again. This can be repeated ad infinitum And the Experimentals merge with the neuronucleus and receive a permanent body enhancement, becoming "demigods". They can take an additional neuronusleus, but use it to enhance weapons In the ordinary life of all employees, the neuronucleus serves as a kind of pet

How does the neuronucleus start to behave when it establishes a connection with an employee?

The neuronucleus starts to constantly fly nearby with the owner and occasionally glows depending on the situation, it also develops a "sleep" state, the neuronucleus falls asleep when the owner sleeps. The neuronucleus begins to glow brightly if it or its owner is in danger, but it does not run away
