Black Heather

Family Structure
Due to a lack of romantic and sexual love experienced by Cyvians of the Family, the long-lived nature of robotic bodies and the importance of familial bonds, the family "tree" of a Family Cyvian is more of a web. The Web connects bonded family members such as siblings as well as close work connections and friends.

Leader
SIL - The Many-Faced - SIL has led the black heather for the past 200 years. Runour has it, they are not one Cyvian but three bonded, all inhabiting the same armature. They have a reputation as intelligent, charismatic, and cunning.

The Inner Circle
"Aunty" ADA - Personally knows every Cyvian on Gerix and consequentially has the most social power in all of the Black Heather. Known as both matronly and merciless.

MO(H) - The Programmer - In charge of handling requisitions for new Cyvians to be built. Not a god.

DEL - M.A.D. (Military And Defence) - Head of the military and defence arms of the Black Heather. Casually racist. Discontented with how small the BH's permitted military is.

COL - The Accountant - Handles the finances and day-to-day running of the Black Heather.

ESK - ''Deceased? ''- According to some, ESK was a traitor to the Black Heather, and SIL destroyed them personally; according to others, ESK got away and is in hiding on a far away system; according to a few, they still walk among the people of Gerix, though whether as an ally or an enemy, they do not know.

XXIV (24) REM - The All-knowing - There have been many REMs, though they always look the same so it is hard to tell. REM is head of intelligence for the Black Heather. Just a humble clerk - at least that's what they tell people.

KAM's Family
IST - An Explorer/Scout with a friendly, if eccentric disposition.

MAR III (3) - A Librarian working directly for COL.

LEL - A Diplomat/Alien relations expert.

KAM VI (6) - The first requisitioned "child" of IST, MAR, & LEL. Closest to MAR but inspired to travel the galaxy by IST. Older sibling to BER.

BER - The second requisitioned "child" of IST, MAR, & LEL. Always getting into trouble. Younger sibling to KAM.
