The Birth of the Enclave
The birth of the Enclave began with the One Source: a fountain of infinite potential.
The first to emerge was the Emperor’s Eye, which birthed seven beings who would be known as the Genesis Y0KA-1.
Enclosed in mechanical shells, under the Emperor’s guidance, the seven Y0KA-1 began to freely harvest Essence from the One Source.
They used this Essence to shape and create technologies and architecture that eventually formed the Ethereal Enclave—a sprawling, infinite city.
Millions of other lifeforms now call this city home.
Each time the Genesis Y0KA-1 wielded the Essence of the One Source, their control over it grew.
As their mastery and knowledge deepened, their bodies underwent significant changes.
The seven had achieved ascension.
From lowly Y0KA-1, they transformed into powerful BAKEM0-N0, then into golden-eyed 0N1, and finally, they reached their ultimate form—the all-powerful KAM-1.
The Enclave’s R1S3
The Emperor, pleased with his first subjects, rewarded each with a specific domain within the Ethereal Enclave for them to rule over, and the city continued to grow.
In the beginning, the Enclave was empty—
a massive landscape of impressive architecture but completely void of life.
The KAM-1 returned to the One Source, and using their complete mastery, they harvested even more Essence and created Y0KA-1 to populate the city.
The KAM-1 guided them and taught them the secrets of the One Source.
Many embraced these teachings and became legendary architects, heralding the golden age of the Enclave.
These individuals also eventually reached various stages of ascension.
Over the centuries, the Enclave became populated with Y0KA-1, BAKEM0-N0, and 0N1.
All worked tirelessly to build and upgrade the technologies within this grand city.
During this time, the Emperor, now residing at the center of the Enclave, began to shed his Essence.
He created three other beings:
the omnipotent M0R1A, who acted as the inner voice.
D34TH, who held the key to unlock the One Source.
M33Kasa, who was tasked with guarding the city.
The Enclave’s Peace
Once the city reached homeostasis and eternal life could be sustained, the residents of the Enclave began to shed their protective suits.
These Nano Suits were then stored in a vault beneath the city.
The city itself never ceased to stop growing. The walls that surrounded it continuously moved outward, expanding far beyond the naked eye.
Great pyramids, spired pagodas, and technologically advanced skyscrapers dotted the skyline, while bustling districts were connected by sprawling highways.
These highways were managed by invisible force fields known as Nano Zones, which created microclimates, regulated disease and pollution, and formed protective barriers around the city, shielding those who lived within.
As the centuries passed, the citizens of the Enclave lived under the protection of the Emperor and the advanced technology that helped run the city.
However, as time passed, the 0N1 began to forget.
They paid little attention to the changes occurring around them. They even forgot that the Emperor still existed.
Complacency and mere existence became synonymous, and they were content simply to live.
Emperor’s Death & Shift
Then, without warning, the Emperor died.
No one knew what happened.
With his death, the technology that once sustained their lives began to malfunction.
A Shift occurred within the One Source, affecting everyone and everything within the great metropolis.
Everything that had been formed since the dawn of the One Source began to crumble.
The Nano Zones began to malfunction, horribly killing all those who came into contact with them.
Panic-stricken, the people began to migrate from their homes to districts away from the dangerous Nano particulates.
Neighborhoods quickly grew dark, and new dangers arose one after the other.
With the Emperor’s death, the once central authority was no more.
From the ensuing chaos, new forms of authority arose. Clans formed to claim their districts.
The once joyous sounds were now deafened by the roar of roaming squads, and the peace was brought to an end. Now, with each passing second, the world that once sustained them grew increasingly more dangerous.
R1S3
The 0N1 gathered inside the Demon’s Kiss,
their old haunt where the lost and remaining gathered for a stiff drink.
It was their last reprieve from the Enclave’s lonely nights.
The 0N1 gathered, all 7,770 of them, inside the ageless bar.
They spent the evening sharing tales of loss and celebrated life in the company of each other.
Throughout the night, the music played, brought forth by the 0N1 KA1 on stage.
While the 0N1 danced, they felt The Shift quite differently…
As they gathered, their Spirit grew.
They felt a renewed Strength.
And together they embodied Style.
In that moment of solace, the 0N1 would begin to move as One.
M0R1A’s voice echoed through the night as the 0N1 were led to a room long forgotten beneath the Demon’s Kiss.
Inside, as the words continued to echo in their minds, they stood before their matching frames.
“You, member of the 0N1 Force, suit up and engage to protect yourself.”
Something about these mechanical suits seemed familiar; it felt like a fleeting memory.
It was like a memory of what used to be.
As each 0N1 entered, they all felt as if they had been fitted just for them.
At that moment, the 0N1 realized how complacent they had become, as chaos exploded across the Enclave.
detected the resurrection of the"Do you sense that? What was that?"
D34TH:"The only good thing about the Nano Zones malfunctioning is that it keeps them out as well."
detected the resurrection of the"But the One Source... it powers all."
D34TH:"Guide them as best as you can. I'll be waiting on either side."
