Ah, Seekers. Rulers of the Skies, Death from Above, and most grounders agree, some of the most frustrating mecha to ever be built.

Seekers are part of the warbuild line; built for battle and trained for war However, they are also the only warbuilds that had a rank and standing in the caste system of the Golden Age. Somehow, while the rest of the warbuilds were far more oppressed and controlled, Seekers managed to maintain their unique culture and at least a voice (if not complete autonomy) in the the rule of their City, in the form of the Air Commander.

Graceful, prideful and dangerous, Seekers tend to draw the attention of all others who interact with them. However, they are also notoriously short-tempered and vicious when they feel they’ve been crossed or rejected. Many find them seemingly changeable at a whim and confusingly hard to read.

This is mainly because of the highly-developed Seeker wing-language and their attention to body language. Grounders often leave a conversation with a Seeker feeling as if they had missed half the conversation – with the Seeker leaving the same conversation thinking that the grounder was uncommonly dense. A mere tilt or flick of the wing could have a dozen meanings from invitation to a warning that the owner is becoming irritated beyond tolerance.
