Infamous in the streets for their calamitous war games, the Erisoldiers have an inherent distrust of everything other than themselves, often including members of their own race.The streets and wastelands surrounding the city serve as a permanent and ever-shifting battleground for the numerous armies and factions of soldiers that form the Erisoldier populace, the sound of laser fire and the din of clashing weapons constantly emitting from the backroads. Going into an Erisoldier territory dispute is akin to a death wish, because if anyone going in isn’t immediately killed by laser fire, they often end up being kidnapped, pressed for information, and then forcibly thrust into the battle themselves. They are masters of surprise tactics, and surround themselves with an air of mystery to outsiders.
Despite their well-earned reputation as murderous psychopaths, Erisoldiers are also experienced inventors and progenitors of advanced weaponry. In fact, their war is the main reason laser weaponry and several forms of rifle made their way into popular usage by citizens. The Erisoldiers’ will to crush enemies under their will inspires them to constantly improve themselves and their weapons, a tactic responsible for both new factions forming under a powerful commander and traitorous deceit by jealous underlings. A weapon taken from a fallen foe is often taken and improved by the victor of a battle, a process that repeats ad naseum until a weapon is completely perfected or crushed in spite. Through this, many of the armed forces’ best weapons never see the light of the city streets and lie in ruins with their makers.
Why exactly Erisoldiers have such intense xenophobia is unknown, but if testimony from survivors from indoctrination serve true, then it seems to be based on the idea that anyone who disagrees with their morals and culture is to be treated as an enemy to be eliminated. Arguments seem to spring from such simple matters as what to wear, how to identify and treat comrades, to the treatment of children and separate identities.
