Ironclad



"Ironclad" is the general name of the humans on Earth circa 2042 who began an uprising to fight against the oppressive force brought on by the MechaGod and its followers.

Definition
''An Ironclad, by definition, is any human being on Earth that is strongly and militantly in opposition to the MechaGod, its presence, or any of its followers or beliefs. The name derives from the tendency for Ironclad soldiers or warriors to wear makeshift armor consisting of spare metals found in their surrounding area.''

"The Ironclad" specifically refers to any Ironclad human organizationally or loosely affiliated with the general cause of defeating and dissipating the MechaGod's presence.

Society
The Ironclad are an "old-world" society. From stubborn idealists to spiritual purists, The Ironclad all share a common goal and cause: end the new reign of the MechaGod by whatever means necessary. All Ironclads find a means for battle by using whatever resources are available for victory against their enemies. There are different social and militaristic sects of the Ironclad society:


 * 1) P.A.V.E. (The Pessicon Anonymous Vigilante Enterprise) - Established by Pessicon in 2041, P.A.V.E. is an anonymous activist group dedicated to exploiting problems with the new common practice of Transhumanism by means of political, social, and other non-violent efforts. This gives common humans and other non-militants alike a way to do their part in the fight against Transhumanism without compromising their identity and risking a violent, homicidal death. P.A.V.E. truly does "pave the way" for the majority of the Ironclad effort. Though non-violent, they achieve progress that any militant sect of The Ironclad could never attain.


 * 1) Dreadnauts - The Dreadnauts are a fearless militant sect of The Ironclad society dedicated to ruthless, near-kamikaze combat techniques. Typically dressing in makeshift astronaut suits, Dreadnauts will often charge into a combat situation rigged with highly experimental explosives weaponry and weapons systems. Dreadnauts are trained specifically to fear nothing, even the most daunting of chances, hideous of creatures, or death itself. Because of this, Dreadnauts are some of the most intimidating soldiers within The Ironclad society and are feared by anything on Earth human enough to feel fear. These destroyers are a site for sore eyes to any combat-weary inhabitants of Earth.


 * 1) Ironclad Soldiers - As one might suspect, Ironclad Soldiers make up a majority of The Ironclad's resistance force.
