Fiction:Forecursors

The Persacron are massive race of superorganisms composed of nanobots. They were born when a mass of nanobots that decided to recreate the planet it had devoured in a grey goo type apocalypse. The Persacron were responsible for the creation of the, and hold their creations in especially high regard. Few remain now a days, and those who do dwell in their Sanctum Worlds where only the Vanara can disturb their rest without consequence.

Creation
The Persacron were once a form of biomechanical nano swarm created by beings known as the from their own flesh. This nano swarm grew out of control and devour the whole of the planet of. Sitting as a mere mass of nanos in space the grey goo began to contemplate its existence. It decided that life without others outside itself was boring and thus decided to create life in order to give itself some company. Thus the nanomass began to rebuild the planet of Alastor exactly as it had been, minus the Eitren who had fled into space, and kicked started the processes to create life upon its surface. To supervise this the nanomass split its conscious into several entities who would become the first Persacron.

Creating the Vanara
The Persacron supervised life on their world, watching it develop and helping it along at times. As time went on sentient life began to develop in the form of beings known as the Promen. The Promen were a war-like race that constantly fought among each other and ravaged the planet. After the third time of blasting themselves back into the stone age with a nuclear war (and right when they were about to accomplish interstellar travel no less), the Persacron had enough and sought to wipe out the Promen so something new could take their place. This would come to be when one of their top scientists Ava found a black crystal beneath the planet's surface. Upon contact Ava merged with the crystal and dissolved herself into a nanobot, sexual transmitted disease. Infesting the Promen she caused their children to be born as the first Vanara, who eradicated the Promen and took control of the planet. The other Persacron then created a shared empathy among the Vanara in order to prevent them from repeating the mistakes of the Promen.

Return of the Eitren
For the longest time the Persacron and Vanara shared the planet in an era of relative peace. This was brought to an end when the Eitren returned, changed as their souls had been burned away by an unknown force leaving them with a hunger that could never be filled. The Eitren enslaved the Persacron and used them as living weapons of mass destruction having them destroy any race or planet that dared defy the Eitren. The Persacron though grew tired of this role and wished to rebel, but had been reprogrammed so they could not defy their masters openly. So the Persacron contacted the Multus Esse, a rival power to the Persacron who to wished to see the Eitren's downfall and together the two concocted a plan to bring such about.

The Rebellion
While the Persacron could not defy and the Multus Esse could not kill the Eitren, as they would simply reincarnate, their was one race that could. The Vanara as they were but a feeble food race of the Eitren, a race they had neglected to reprogram and because they had Eitren DNA could absorb a slayen Eitrens conscious and nullify it. However, the Vanara were too weak and feeble to defy the Eitren. So the Persacron secretly resummoned, returning her from STD to a physical being, and sent her down to Accel Space where she met and mated with the Stitch. Ava then returned to Real Space and transformed back into a STD, infecting the Vanara and passing on a genetic program that spread to the whole species.

When the time came the program was activated and the Vanara were transformed to great beings of vast power wielding living weapon and armor and blessed by the powers of darkness. The Multus, the Persacron, and the Vanara fought the Eitren and slew most of them. The remaining Eitren fled to the rifts between galaxy where they were devoured by their queen Leless so they could be reborn as the monsters that would become Scelus.

Downfall
Unfortunately the vistory of the Persacron and the Vanara would be short lived. A group of rouge Lightlings (beings of light from another dimension that was destroyed) led by the one referred to as the Indomitable Sun feared and despised the Vanara for their connection to darkness. These Lightlings made a deal with the Eitren's favored creations the Affonire. Together the two slew most of the Persacron and reduced the Vanara to weaker form and used a shard of to inflict the Vanara with the a physiological affliction called the Bloody Thirst insuring that the Vanara to keep them from building a society. But Ava returned tp physical form and summoned Jura to use the crystal that Ava had merged with to gift the Vanara with the Burning Rage to fight the Bloody Thirst with. Ava and Jura then devastated the Affonire reducing them to a single planet. The remaining Persacron retreated to their Sanctum Worlds where they remain till this day.

Biology
The Persacron are mechanical beings of a massive size similar to that of the large saurapod dinosaurs of earth. The Persacron were not one machine, but rather were a colony of nano bots that shared a single mind and made up one great form. As a result the Persacron could shape shift, add or reduce the mass of their form, split apart into multiple entities, or merge into a greater being. They could even create and produce drones to serve them within the nanomachine mass of their body. All Persacron were powerful psychics in their own right, and by entering a meditative trance and "attuning" themselves to a planet they could alter the very course of the planet's development and the development of the species that lived upon it. They also possessed a stronge connection to Accel Space, allowing them to tear rifts into the strange realm and then "walk" from one planet to another. The Persacron did not perceive the flow of time (though they did have memories) and lived solely in the now, the passage of years having little to no meaning to them.

Behavior
Persacron were solitary beings who had little need for the company of their own or others. While they were capable of developing friendships, for them deep emotional connections were a want and not a need. As a result many remained distant, preferring to simply carry on with their experiments. Modern day Persacron are few and far between. They live alone, deep under the surface of their Sanctum Worlds, surrounded by unimaginable wealth and fantastical inventions, tended to by legions upon legions robotic servants. Any who enter the Sanctums are killed on sight, except for Vanara who can enter and pilfer whatever they want. Few Vanara do however, and only in times of great need. Multus Esse created races can also enter the Sanctum unharmed, but must take nothing or face the consequences.

Quotes from Others
"It was a pleasure encountering another race such as them. Considering our long age, and how so few of our brother remain, it weighs heavily on my mind how many of our brother-races are gone."
