The Nanomei
Wild. Reckless. Free. No matter the cost.
The Mask
The Nanomei are and extraordinarily disparate, loosely-formed, and decentralized Collective – though even that vague description might be at once too generous and too constrictive. Nevertheless, the Collective Nanomei movement takes a singular image as its guiding principle: The Mask.
Innately gifted hackers can bend the Aetherium’s fluid reality, and the wildly talented Nanomei hackers have an extraordinary ability to manipulate their immediate surroundings. Though they lack the material resources of the massive corporate houses and governmental channels of power, they have instead embraced the anonymity afforded by their profoundly coded representation in the Aetherium. One noted personality in the movement is rumored to present a calling card that repeats an old adage, “give a man a mask and he will show you his true face.”
Inevitably, mayhem follows.
The Hollow Force
The members of the Nanomei remain wildly elusive, anonymous. Even under close scrutiny, they appear not to be an organization at all but, rather, tumultuous gales of human expression, of free will spat aggressively in the face of much larger, much more powerful entities. It is as much an event as a method; The Nanomei seem a spontaneous manifestation – like a hurricane shifting mercilessly around a calm, empty center. It a hollow force. Thus the Nanomei, acting without a coherent, identifiable structure, and only modest hints of leadership in the conventional sense, are still mercilessly potent, wildly unpredictable – strong enough to gut an entire cityscape, subtle enough to leave one thin tree untouched amid the ruin.
What the movement lacks in structure it compensates in raw charismatic force. As mentioned, several of the personalities, none entirely distinct, none seemingly ranked above the other, have emerged in the Aetherium only to disappear in this air a moment later. At times, this seems the only undeniable method beneath Nanomei’s madness – the assertion of pure chaotic mayhem against a fatal tide of oppressive control. The Nanomei movement shouts against this tide:
Your spirit is not lost. You are an agent in this universe. You make decisions about your own fate and free will. Your mask is your liberation. In this virtual space, you can find your soul. Break the systems that control you. Resist. Engage.
