Description

"It's all about hope and dreams and living well. Everyone has value, but I think people forget that one common truth. Life is hard, and it makes some people callous, dispassionate and cruel. I hope we can change that and remind people of their own strength and goodness."

Nobody knows exactly where they came from, how they came to be or why, but about 80 years before the end of the Dark Age, the Cyber-Knight emerged to battle monsters and tyrants. However, most educated and civilized people did not acknowledge the Knights even really existed until 18 P.A. This has led some D-Bees to believe the Cyber-Knights came into being to oppose the ever-growing and corrupt Coalition States. Other say that they came to fight injustice in all its forms and to combat the hordes of supernatural beings that terrorize the land. The truth is that they are the champions of all people, human and inhuman, who are oppressed, suffer from injustice or are tormented by evil, regardless of who or what may be the cause.
