"Find the name that makes you human. Not the one that lets you fit in."
— Glaive, the Lord of Automation and Victory

Glory. Victory. Heart.
The Nasod runs into battle, the wind slamming against his face. He dives onto the ground, sliding across the terrain as his hover module extents outward. A glaive flies at his side, ready to launch at a moment's notice. The blue exhaust being released from the rocket of the missile: frightening.
He launches over the ridge at a intensive pace, the gunfire drowning out all sound of war. Enemies collapse around as his allies support him with coverfire. The sun shines overhead. The Nasod screams.
"All hail Glaive! All hail victory! We all wish—for this war to be over!"
The Lord of Automation is closely related to the domains in which he governs. He is often considered the Lord of Victory by the races who worship him—Nasods and Warforged in particular. His priesthood typically advocate for Right By Might, and consist of warlike legions that serve various nations across the world.
His position in between these battling powers is as a familiar, united entity. A deity who connects the different ideologies of the warring tribes with a common manifesto; his commandments are deeply revered as the true path, with many constructs believing that fighting with a different set of ideals is not only sinful—it's inhumane.
Worshipers of Glaive do not relish in war. They believe war is an inevitability, and must fought—but war is a terrible reality. Enjoying such a thing would be a blatant disservice for those who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty.
Depiction
Glaive is generally pictured as being an aloof yet stalwart individual in early adulthood, with graying hair and muted blue eyes. His skin is pale, with his fingertips being particularly devoid of circulation—a sign of his constructed nature.
He is often detailed as being stern and honorable, yet remaining stoic in his actions and when he decides to speak up. A calculated individual who represents unity by those who fight under his name.
Commandments of Glaive:
- Honor and protect the lesser and the innocent.
- Honor and correction to those who obey the differing view.
- Respect and fealty to the rules which govern our war.
