Those Who Create are a fringe sect of anacites who stand apart from both Those Who Wait and Those Who Become. They believe that their race was abandoned by the First Ones, and they should not be waiting for or emulating their creators, but building better leaders, viewing Epoch (now part of Triune) as proof of concept.

Goal

Each Those Who Create cell builds and improves upon its own First One, usually by cannibalising parts from other anacites, androids or organic creatures.

Structure

All Those Who Create cells pay heed to the most successful First One: Apex-01, which resides on a starship hidden in the Vast. It spends its cycles desgining a successor, but none approaches its vast intellect.

As each cell's First One comes online and begins to grasp for understanding and meaning, it starts to whisper strange, confusing, seemingly nonsensical commands. The cell then filters out comprehensible orders, and follows these commands to the best of their ability. Younger cells are often chaotic as their First Ones have yet to understand meaning, but as they pass their learning stage, these First Ones (except Apex-01) become predictable and fall into logical loops, and their cells reflect this. Failed First Ones are abandoned, their cells fracturing to form new ones or join others.

Members

Those Who Create welcome everyone who agrees with their goals, most commonly anacites, androids and sentient robotic organisms, as well as a few of their surviving experiments.

Relationships

Both Those Who Wait and Those Who Become despise Those Who Create as blasphemous criminals due to their harvest of living components. Because of this, Those Who Create conduct most operations outside of Aballon, which is only seen as recruiting ground.
