To be born into the Diamond Tribe is to keep the secrets of the Diamond Tribe. Most are Dead-strains, and those that aren’t are pitied for the fact they have less of a relationship with the AI, and often feel they have to do more to prove themselves. They are small and focused on their own affairs- that is self preservation.

Leadership

The Diamond Tribe is led by an Advanced AI, “The Diamond”, that some believe to be the AI of the original founder of the Tribe, made eternal. This AI is slow to decide, but when it does it is vehement in its decisions, all of which are focused on the continuing survival of the Tribe, and to attempt to fight against the decline of the world. It has been VERY interested in the re-opening of the Citadel, moving out of the despondence that has afflicted it in the last few decades.

Any member of the Diamond Tribe can partially house “The Diamond”; this is a “Greeter” partial housing. See the AI rules for what this means. Dead-strains of this Tribe may begin with “The Diamond” partially housed in their ka already.

Reputation

The ‘Diamond’ Tribe are one of the least friendly Tribes of the Outlook. They engage in no outright violence, and are not aggressive, but they have an insular attitude; their Tribe before all else. This is based heavily on the fact they feel the other groups are far too accepting of the situation that they are in now, on a dying world.

Religion

Their religious beliefs are based around worship of the AI; AIs represent the possibility of salvation from the inevitability of death. They are seen as more perfect than humans, and their core backups are regularly kept in elegant boxes.

Defining Trait

They have a hatred of death, and a fear of it, many spend their lives attempting to create AI constructs of themselves that will survive after they have gone, but they are held back by the knowledge that their attempts create facsimiles too simplistic to truly be a entity that could meaningfully reflect them when they are gone.

Aesthetic

All members seek to bear a black box, that they have strapped to them, usually to their waist, in mimicry of the AI core backups.
