Devoted

The Devoted are Deviants who remain loyal to a conspiracy, contrasted with Renegades, who oppose conspiracies.

Overview

The Devoted live in service to the conspiracies that own them. Many are given a degree of freedom, while others are tightly controlled, but all of them are treated as property. Their lives are dictated by the conspiracy.

Most Devoted understand that they are no longer human, and that they are dangerous to the world around them. They have trouble dealing with the changes that Divergence brings. Living an ordinary life is impossible for the Remade. These Devoted stay with a conspiracy because they believe the conspiracy can make life easier for them, or perhaps even fix them. Renegades are often pursued by conspiracies, but when one returns by choice, the conspiracy accepts him with open arms.

Devoted are common antagonists for Renegades. Conspiracies understand that the best way to capture a Deviant is to send a fellow Deviant after them. Sometimes, when a Renegade is too troublesome to capture alive, a Devoted is sent as an assassin.

Regardless of how a Deviant feels about being Devoted, he still sacrifices freedom for security. Even if he believes he is serving a just cause or protecting himself, he still lives under the conspiracy's thumb, watched day and night and expected to obey.

Conviction and Loyalty

Unlike Renegades, the Devoted begin with more Loyalty than Conviction, but pursuing Conviction is more rewarding to them.

If a Devoted's Conviction increases higher than her Loyalty, she enters a state of Fury and becomes a Nemesis. She becomes obsessed with chasing down Renegades, and will often stop at nothing to capture or destroy them.
