Overview
For the longest time, all the Noble Houses fielded their own Spyrer Suits and participated in The Most Dangerous Game. Maybe they weren't as fancy as the suits the Helmawr's used, but considering the sacrifices the strongest suits required, the lesser houses Spyrers functioned roughly as efficiently.
But then the ruling Helmawr house decided that participation in The Most Dangerous Game, was a privilege that should be exclusive to them and seized any remaining suits for their sole use.
Hooded Butcher Bird - Hunt Master (Leader)
My house, long in decline, had lost our suits a century before the Helmawrs repossessed any that had left their noble line.
But we never lost the tradition that owning them entailed, the martial excellence and tactical thinking required to dominate.
And we never lost our connection to the Spyrer's prey, the rabble of the Underhive. We still owned crumbling manufactorums, employed the downtrodden masses to toil in our archeotech devices. Making just enough money to survive, but never enough to truly matter.
The scions of House Helmawr think the pain of connecting to a suit, the modifications made to their flesh, is some kind of character building sacrifice.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'VE SACRIFICED!
WHAT I'M WILLING TO SACRIFICE!
These brutal songbirds we have rendered in steel picked the flesh from my bones. Muscle replaced with steel sinew, nerves with neuroconductive cabling, organs suspended in ichor and threaded with wires.
The Helmawrs, in their arrogance, think it's the suit that makes a Spyrer.
But it's not the suit.
It's the software.
Software that has been installed directly into my artificial nervous system, that will flood my brain with dopamine after every act of violence, that will optimise the myriad of archeotech systems that now make up my physical form.
I am like clay, the Spyrer program my sculptor.
It will find no imperfection left in its materials.
