    We don't know much about the background lore of anyone else but the Avians, but pulling from that document:

    "While scanning FL1-4, the orbiting Avian research vessel finds traces of robot
    habitation - in particular, a field near the equator strewn with parts of
    dismembered robots, adjacent to a large blast scar (partly overgrown).
    ⁃ Armed with this knowledge, the reigning Avian ruler contacts the nearest robot
    sub-station and demands to speak with their leading unit. Upon the ruler’s arrival
    (the first off-world sojourn by an Avian ruler), the truth is revealed, though it was
    never specifically hidden: the robots conducted a research mission on the very
    same planet, but lost their entire research crew due to a surprise attack from the
    hyper-aggressive locals (who had been raiding them regularly). Their ship, after an
    unspecified period of time, engaged auto-pilot and left the planet of its own
    volition."

    The Florans attacked the first Glitch party who made direct contact with them, quickly reverse-engineering and assimilating their technology for their own purposes. I don't think they're on good terms. They aren't engaged in the same degree of cultural/social rivalry as the Avians and Florians are (as a whole) but there must be some remaining tensions from that first contact.

    I personally thought the Apex were quite awesome, and would play them 3rd after the Floran.
    I would have picked them first and stuck with them if there weren't any robots.

    *Apex fades away*
    Apex 1: It attacked the hologram much faster than expected. I guess this gives us very conclusive results.
    Apex 2: So it's true, all Florans are savages on the inside. Given the chance they will destroy civilisation. Imagine the chaos...
    Apex 1: Let's take no chances, we have all the proof we need, and we don't want this one escaping. Turn on the incinerator.
    Apex 2: At once, comrade.
    *Apex 2 presses red button, followed by screaming from the test chamber. Floran is burnt to a crisp.*
    Apex 1: Well done. Let's send our report to the MiniKnog, Big Ape needs to know about this. Maybe we'll get a banana.

    That explains it! I am not big into movies, I never really liked them
    granted this is also the same person who does not like bacon [the food product not the forum post he is pretty cool.]

    So I guess I am quite the anomaly.

    Wonderful race. So many different fashion methods, its a race that can prove itself in PvP well if played well.

    Couldn't that statement apply to all the races?

    Yes. However you can use a floran like an empty canvas to paint upon; it just requires the right artist. Plants, (or flowers as an example) have a lot of different assets that can present colors well. The other races have too little area for colorizing or look blocky and mechanical. Florans on the other hand have artistic use and have an almost perfect structure for presenting colors.

    Still undecided on what race to play first, but I am leaning toward the Florans. They seem to be the most fun to get in character for, but we still haven't been introduced to ourselves, or the Hylotl, so.. we'll see.

    Join the robots side, I am peaceful, but jump into action when need.
    Plus you can go *beep boop* :p

    Beep boop son! Beep boop...

    Would not be hard to join them either all they need is your brain to transplant it right on in a shell.

    But then what would you be? A Human in a Glitch body, or a Glitch with a human Brain?

    come to think of it, where do the Glitch get their organic brains from? The zombies demand to know.

    Slave races of the highly intelligent race that decided to make the glitch in the first place!

    Putting a brain preserved by cybernetics in to help the machine emulate emotion I imagine is much easier then programing a billion personality's.

    Edit:also if you look at glitch head mods in the creator you will see some of them DO have brains so your answer to the first question is a Glitch.

    Maybe we have great maker village elders, that pass down from one elder to the next.
    They are the only ones with the knowledge to create new Glitch.
    I don't know since not much lore has been released yet.

    "The Glitch reproduce by finding a mate and physically building a new Glitch together."

    But it doesn't tell us who the mate candidates are, could be a council, or a loved one.

    Considering they feel just like humans do and there in a medieval period
    as part of a simulation of a civilization's social advancement I am going to have to go with whoever they feel
    like.

    That and if it was a council they would probably have dismantled the "Faulty" glitch on
    the spot. lover's however would have probably protected and raised them despite the
    "Faulty" programing they had.
