'''''[http://www.nexuswar.com ''Nexus War'']''''' was a free browser-based [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] created and administrated by Brandon Harris (aka Jorm). It is similar in style to [[Urban Dead]], and much of the player base is shared between the two games. See its archived [[The Wiki Rule|wiki]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20090202080502/http://wiki.nexuswar.com/index.php/Main_Page here].
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]
** Angels: Seraphs (and Lightspeakers to a lesser extent) are mechanical representations of order. Divine Champions are Old Testament-style messengers of the Word, who can turn into fire or mist or steel. Advocates are closest to the pop-culture version.
** Demons: Dark Oppressors are [[Horny Devils]] or Faustian tempters. Infernal Behemoths are more like [[The Lord of the Rings|Balrogs]] than anything else, while Wyrm Masters, Doom Howlers, and Void Walkers are different flavors of [[H.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraftian horror.]]
** Vampires and werewolves: Revenants are burned by acting in sunlight and take double damage from tarnished (silver) swords. They can learn to turn into either wolves or bats.
* [[Player Versus Player]], [[PVP-Balanced]]: Almost all combat is player vs. player. The few wandering monsters that exist require dozens of characters to bring down. No monsters in Clash yet, but give it time.
