Cloud Striders are [[Neomuni]] who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with [[cytomachine|nanotechnology]], granting them enhanced strength and agility, and increasing their height, making them taller than even [[Empress Caiatl]]. Additionally, this nanotechnology affords the Cloud Striders powerful weapons, including a compact silver surfboard-like device that both allows the Cloud Striders to quickly move about Neomuna and can be used as a shield, as well as a transforming gun powerful enough to strike a [[Pyramid]]. | Cloud Striders are [[Neomuni]] who have volunteered to undergo a process to enhance themselves with [[cytomachine|nanotechnology]], granting them enhanced strength and agility, and increasing their height, making them taller than even [[Empress Caiatl]].

However, these augmentations have drawbacks. In addition to a shortened lifespan of about a decade, only two Cloud Striders can exist at any given time. Commonly, these Cloud Strider pairs consist of an older one and a younger one (presumably a mentor and pupil, respectively).<ref name= "Dev Interview"/> | However, these augmentations have drawbacks.
