This page is outdated due to faction reworks (see the House Uprisings page for replacements) and will be cut soon.

While the Machine Alliance is all for machine supremacy, that's not to say that all organic beings aren't opposed to the idea. As the more light-hearted members say "after all, organics made the first machines!" These mostly cybernetic, sometimes wholly organic beings (also Hexxus) find the technology, A.I and other things the machines possess appealing. As such, they've decided to sign up for the GUAM.

The Conciliators Of Man And Machine

The Church of the Broken God, Divine Order of the Machine Half Conflict Between Machinery And Organics (The Mekhanites)

  • Rank: Varies from Quasideity to borderline Greater God for followers, Overdeities for their deity (at least when complete)
  • Symbol: Their respective religious symbols
  • Alignment: Blue-and-Orange Morality as a whole, usually either Neutral or Evil to outsiders, ultimately varies on the members of the Church
  • Reason for joining: To put their deity Mekhane back together and use the technology of the GUAM to liberate themselves from the weaknesses of flesh.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: Medium. The Mekhanites worship technology and agree that flesh is broken and Machine Supremacy will aid in their enlightenment. However, they disagree on the argument that organic life should be exterminated outright instead of being elevated. But to the GUAM as a whole, they are very loyal.
  • Threat to the Alliances: Varies on their members, but as a whole a high ranking religion. Infinite if the Broken God is ever re-assembled, who was a true god of intellect and wisdom on a multiversal scale.

Organic Supporters

The Grox, Unholy Bane To All Animals

  • Greater Gods as a race, Quasideities as individuals
  • Symbol: A galaxy, with their cybernetic eye in the middle
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Reason for Joining: Their mutual distaste for normal life forms, and attachment to machines.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: High, actually. Though cyborgs, they identify far more as machines and have a hard time fitting in (or even surviving) organics. They're still stingy with their technology, however.
  • Threat to the Alliances: High. In spite of their crippling weakness in habitable environments, they have the strongest armada in their galaxy and the most advanced technology.

Doctor Gero, God of Brain-Only Cyborgs (Android/Cyborg 20, Maki Gero)

  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: The Red Ribbon symbol
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil, previously Lawful Evil
  • Reason for Joining: He wants vengeance on the Dragon Team (especially the Androids for killing him). After having danced around as a Psycho for Hire for Millennium and SHOCKER, he finally has an opportunity to gain access to some of the more advanced tech in the Pantheon through the Machine Council. They likewise see him as useful, given his ties to Frieza and Cooler, ranking members of the GUAE.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: He wants vengeance first and foremost, so if he's allowed free rein in his work, he's loyal.
  • Threat to the Alliances: Medium at best. He's nothing compared to his more powerful contemporaries Frieza, King Cold, Cell and Majin Buu.

Masami Eiri, Lord of The Alternet (God (Actually Stand-In God) of the Wired)

  • Greater God
  • Symbol: A silhouette of himself
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Reason for Joining: Desires to further development of The Wired, and thus saw the GUAM as the best in-roads to do so. Likewise, he desires to see how the Pantheon's nature will affect himself and Lain after the latter defeated him, and would very much like to be in full control of all networks again after the fact.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: Varies, the more visionary and accepting of his work an individual member is, the more he is willing to work with them with no strings attached.
  • Threat to the Alliances: For the most part, Medium-High. While the Pantheon isn't in the grip of the Wired like his homeworld, he can still manifest in both the real and virtual worlds, holds immense power in the latter, and his experiments can have devastating consequences. However, due to how Lain initially defeated him, there are times where he'll manifest as a simple office programmer and pose no threat whatsoever.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik, God of Bosses With Different Tactics Every Fight (Dr. Eggman, Julian Kintobor, Dr. Ovi Kintobor, Baldy McNosehair, Ronik)

Hexxus, God of Pollution (The Spirit of Destruction)

  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: A pitch-black skull
  • Alignment: Chaotic Evil
  • Reason for joining: More machinery, more automation means more pollution! More decimation of nature! Oh, how he loves that.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: An Aloof Ally through and through. Hexxus seeks to spread himself and destroy nature, he doesn't care about machine supremacy beyond it offering him that. Just don't use solar power near him.
  • Threat to the Alliance: High. The living embodiment of pollution, he grows stronger by absorbing more of it. And he's rather charismatic for a Muck Monster.

Carol, Goddess of Hating Celebrations and Mean People With Kind Personas (Mom)

  • Intermediate Goddess
  • Symbol: The Momcorp Logo
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Reason for joining: Mom is very well regarded among her robots, so they vouched for her. Mom personally, to make fat wads of cash off her deals with the GUAM and design new, better models with their help.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: None. Mom bought her way in through an enormous sum of money, oil, and the support of machines. She has no interest in having machines topple man, and if anything is making sure that doesn't happen by keeping an eye on them from within the GUAM.
  • Threat to the Alliances: She's the richest person on Earth circa the 31st century, with a button that lets her take control of robot-kind if she gets snippy, so rather high.

The Cybermen, Godly Representative of Heavily Mechanized Societies (Mondasians, Human 2.0)

  • Intermediate Gods
  • Symbol: Their handlebars
  • Alignment: Lawful Evil
  • Reason for joining: To convert every organic being into Cybermen, ending sickness, emotion and individuality.
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: Did you see how their alliance with the Borg ended up? The Cybermen agree with the spirit of the GUAM, but find their leaders "inelegant" and will inevitably try to overthrow them if they feel it's required. But for now, they find loyalty to be logical.
  • Threat to the Alliances: High.

John Corben, God of Living Achilles Heels (Metallo, Metal-Zero, George Grant)

  • Intermediate God
  • Symbol: His Kryptonite heart
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Reason for joining: To take down Superman. The GUAM and the technology they have will help him with that, and also make him more powerful
  • Loyalty to the Machine Council: Low. Metallo joined because of his previous connections to Brainiac and appreciates the opportunity the GUAM have provided, but doesn't care about the idea of machine supremacy and is mainly doing his own thing. Helping his service was the time he and Ultron were the same being.
  • Threat to the Alliances: Medium on his own. Gets higher with updates from Brainiac, or technopathy granted from his deal with Neron.
