Eh, "mankind" has nothing to do with gender... besides, humankind

Only to the ignorant. It would have been more accurate to describe us as fanatical transhumanists, but because we pursue science with a fervor that most would reserve for their god(s) and, presumably, because the TR and NC have trouble with that whole science/magic thing they generally label us "religious" instead.

Like a fox.

Wait...

I think "techno-religious nutjobs" is appropriate given that from our non-Auraxian point of view (which T-Ray shares given he is an Earth human), we would likely view their own views as hogwash despite however (in)valid they might be.

Mankind means the human species. Sawry.

But if anyone has any input please shoot, I intend for this to be a collaboration or something.

Also I adopted the "techno-religious nutjobs", it almost feels like part of the Lore alredy

Yes you guys still have not made a good permanent heavy assault. How many have you been through since 03

That's because most of our scientists are more interested in making our weapons more blinky and sparkly then more destructive...

Really, just last week a breakthrough in assault weapons was announced. Our shock troops stormed the lab to get their hands on it...

Which turned out to be just a Lasher modified to fire orbs in alternating colors.
Though admittedly it was kinda pretty

Techno religious nut jobs was always the way I saw the VS; its why my Vindicators have religious ranks; Brother, Acolyte, Deacon, Chaplain, Templar, Priest, Bishop and Patriarch.

Hey now, we made some good tries! It's not our fault they keep degrading! *mutters something about destabilizing waveforms and quantum double reacharounds*

According to the lore as seen through American eyes, yes VS and TR are badguys and NC are the good guys.

Just like in real life, the majority of the world isn't american... so you will always find plenty of people who are happy to play the bad guys. Thats why there are two whole factions of them haha!
