The most basic type of the Homunculus artificial lifeform, created by Singularity through advanced application of nanomachine technology and capable of replicating any and all human body parts and organs.
The Stratus type can also fuse together to form various other types of Homunculi.
Possessed of no intelligence to speak of, they are incapable of acting autonomously and are controlled mentally by Singularity, and the ribbons of light that extend upward from their bodies are bundles of neural fibers that act as telepathic receivers.
In addition to being several times more agile than the average human, they can also liquify their bodies and transform their arms and hands into various weapons.
Appearance[]
Strati are humanoid Homunculi with a luminescent, cyan-green, androgynous, barefoot body adorned with the white, chitinous-like plating and the light tether, theirs coming from the base of their necks, characteristic of all Homunculi. Their heads have a white chitinous plate with a few markings where a face would normally be. Wavy, cloud-like vambraces cover their arms, while greaves adorned with cloud patterns and curved tassets cover their legs which have dark green coloured feet and cyan-green toenails.
Gameplay[]
The Stratus is the most basic, and consequentially, most common type of Homunculus. It's most often seen accompanying other Homunculi or being spawned by more specialized Homunculi such as the Genitus. They are usually equipped with rapier-like energy blades which they use for delivering their most basica attacks, three-bladed claws at the forearms, which are far faster with more powerful attacks, or golden longbows which allows them to attack from a distance with rows of three arrows.
Recommended Weapons[]
As the most basic form of Homunculus, Strati can be defeated with minimal difficulty regardless of the weapon chosen to fight them.
Trivia[]
"Stratus" (plural "strati") is Latin for "stretch", and is the name of a specific cloud formation distinguished by its low altitude, gray-to-white coloration, and flat, hazy appearance.
Despite the plural form of "stratus" being "strati", the game refers to a group of Stratus units as "Stratuses".
