History
Exominds was mechanical beings created by humanity during the Golden Age where they were creations of the Clovis Bray Corporation. The Exo Project sought to digitally process a human consciousness and place it within a mechanical shell. Early experiments in encoding the human mind faced many challenges. One was the phenomena known as Dissociative Exomind Rejection (DER) whereby the nascent Proto-Exo's developed serious symptoms of cognitive disorder which eventually led to their death. This was attributed to the human mind being unable to recouncile its presence within a new body.
It was the discovery of the K1 artifact that changed everything for he project where the paracausal force was named 'Clarity' by Clovis Bray I. He wet forth on an expedition to Europa in a search for the secret for immortality that was promised by 'Clarity'. Once there, he received instructions from a mysterious entity that was called 'Clarity Control' where this dictated that he needed a specimen of the Vex race. Thus, he came to steal a Vex from the Ishtar Collective where he used it to build a gate to the Vex Forge Star megastructure. Whilst there, he studied samples of the Vex radiolarian fluid and observed its energy with 'Clarity'. From this, he created a 'Clarity'-altered radiolarian fluid that Clovis I named Alkahest that helped bypass the Exomind's loop/billboard/crash problem. However, this was not a permanent solution to the Dissociative Exomind Rejection matter.
Clovis Bray later founded Eventide as a Europan colony that was used to house clients that awaited uploading into Exo bodies.
In the Post-Collapse era, many Exo's in the resultant Dark Age joined alongside their organic brethren in helping build the Last City with a number of their kind becoming Guardians.
When the Darkness invaded the Sol system, the Fallen Eramis of the House of Salvation sought to harness the power afforded by the pyramid ships. This saw them arriving on Europa where they also sought to secure the Deep Stone Crypt and create Fallen Exominds.
Overview
In appearance, the Exo's were robotic beings that were designed in the form of their human creators.
The reboots did not entirely wipe away their past memories with some remaining that was amplified, scrambled and reshuffled like fragments.
Many of their kind traced their origins to the Deep Stone Crypt that was built on the moon of Europa. The Exo's believed in a famous subroutine known as the Deep Stone Crypt that was believed to had seeded the first of their kind's consciousness. Some of their number experienced a flashback of the subroutine that took the form of a dream where a tower lay on a black plain. During this moment, some of the dreamers made it to the tower in peace whilst others were forced to slay an army of everyone they ever met in order to reach it.
