Now, just under one thousand RIZERs stalk the universe, leaving a trail of awe and terror in their wake. To terrified onlookers, they're death made manifest: sentient, devastatingly powerful, and utterly alien. Their destructive potential hangs heavy in the air, a stark contrast to the unsettling innocence that clings to them.

The nature of RIZERs are a closely guarded secret. Most believe them to be mere machines, but a select few have glimpsed the baffling reality – a biology that defies categorization, a horrifying blend of advanced circuitry and sentient fungi- Mechanite Technology. Eerie and unfathomable, the RIZERS are strangers to the social bonds that define humanity, and to the monetary bonds that see them exchanged. Their very existence is an ironic hypocrisy: created only to destroy one another, blissfully unaware of their own loneliness, a concept only challenged by their interaction with those unfortunate enough to pilot them.
