The process also significantly increases their physical size, making them taller than even [[Empress Caiatl]]. The Cloud Striders' nanotechnology forms a layer of metallic armor over parts of their body, and affords them powerful weapons and tools, including a compact silver surfboard-like device, called a skyboard, that both allows the Cloud Striders to quickly move about Neomuna and can be used as a shield. | ||
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"/> New Cloud Striders are created at the [[Sidereal]], a device or facility where the augmentation is carried out. | However, these augmentations have drawbacks.
