A son of the SAXONATE, an isolationist sub-culture obsessed with the extremes of trans-humanism, GAWAIN serves himself as an explorer, and unofficial feeler for the SAXONATE. He faithfully strives to find the lost technology of the ancients for his own benefit, but as well for his isolated people. Every forgotten piece of treasure is one step further to riches and another advancement to improve his own people. In time, GAWAIN hopes that one day his people could share themselves to the rest of the world as he has done, and perhaps earn his name among the 'Archived' of his collective. In the mean-time, he suffers the rigors of a world he still attempts to comprehend.

I'm here to kick ass, and find artifacts...

A son of the SAXONATE, an isolationist sub-culture obsessed with the extremes of trans-humanism, GAWAIN serves himself as an explorer, and unofficial feeler for the SAXONATE. He faithfully strives to find the lost technology of the ancients for his own benefit, but as well for his isolated people. Every forgotten piece of treasure is one step further to riches and another advancement to improve his own people. In time, GAWAIN hopes that one day his people could share themselves to the rest of the world as he has done, and perhaps earn his name among the 'Archived' of his collective. In the mean-time, he suffers the rigors of a world he still attempts to comprehend.

Notes

In SAXONATE culture, it's normal for people to pick names that are acronyms of their purpose or things that discribe them, such as GAWAIN, other examples include:

  • ESTHER (Ecological Survey Terminal and Horticultural Examination Researcher)
ESTHER is an Ecological Field Researcher, terminal might mean she likes to think she's as knowledgeable as any terminal you could query information from.
  • JIM (Judicial Itinerant Machine)
JIM is the SAXONATE's version of a Sheriff. Machine could mean he thinks he acts like a machine in the face of the law.
  • ALICE (Altitude Low Indepedent Civilian Engineer)
ALICE is a Freelancing engineer. Altitude Low means she might not be qualified to work in high altitudes, or that she's afraid of heights.
  • EDGAR (Excavator and Deconstruction with General Arson Reversal)
EDGAR is Demolition and Excavator specialist who is qualified to fight fires in case any pop up on the job. Like GAWAIN, his name is very purpose driven.

SAXONATE itself stands for Societal Artifice of a Xerarch Oligarchy Neutralizing All Trace of Error.

The SAXONATE originate from a dry set of islands consisting mostly of sand, hence their emphasis on explaining their society is a creation from a xerarch Oligarchy. That latter part is a continuing explanation, stating the goal of the SAXONATE, elimination of weakness through superior technology.
