Cloud Striders are [[ | Cloud Striders are [[Neomuni]] who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with [[cytomachine|nanotechnology]], granting them enhanced strength and agility, and increasing their height, making them taller than even [[Empress Caiatl]]. Additionally, this nanotechnology affords the Cloud Striders powerful weapons, including a compact silver surfboard-like device that both allows the Cloud Striders to quickly move about Neomuna and can be used as a shield, as well as a transforming gun powerful enough to strike a [[Pyramid]]. | ||
However, these augmentations have drawbacks. In addition to a shortened lifespan of about a decade, only two Cloud Striders can exist at any given time. | However, these augmentations have drawbacks. In addition to a shortened lifespan of about a decade, only two Cloud Striders can exist at any given time. Commonly, these Cloud Strider pairs consist of an older one and a younger one (presumably a mentor and pupil, respectively).<ref name= "Dev Interview"/> | ||

Many [[colony ship]]s sought to escape [[Earth]] during the [[Collapse]]. Most failed to flee [[Sol System|Sol]], and many ended up forming what is now known as the [[Reef]]. One ship, however, successfully transported a group of people to [[Neptune]], where they eventually settled and became the citizens of [[Neomuna]]. Some of these citizens chose to augment themselves with nanotechnology to protect the city from threats like the [[Vex]].<ref name= "Dev Interview"/> | |||

According to [[Nimbus]], no Cloud Strider prior to [[Rohan]] ever died in the line of duty, with all of them living out their full ten-year lifespan before succumbing to their augmentations. | |||
