The brownshirts are a community of descended energy beings from a universe consumed by self-replicating (Von Neumann) machines. They have been moving inwards in the multiverse structure seeking safety while fleeing an unknown entity or entities that is hunting them. They are hopeful that old alliances at their destination (The First World) are still in place. Unfortunately, The First World did not honor the old alliance, and imprisoned the brownshirts in Teskoy Prison, prior to their rescue by Danny's team.
The brownshirts are currently the only known entities who can rebuild the Outer Shield and stop The Crushing Fist
Traits:
While appearing human, members of this community are capable of perceiving and manipulating electromagnetic energy, as well as generating interdimensional portals through focused willpower. Manipulated by the Dreamer On High, a number of brownshirts were able to generate highly dangerous modified portals capable of allowing transition across both time as well as different quantum choice trees of a given universe.
Notes:
One known brownshirt is Thomas, last known to be working with Cristina Thompson, Danny and a number of other children.
A number of brownshirts are currently trapped on a Cordyceps Fungus infected parallel Earth. One member of this group was temporarily freed from entrapment by Cristina Thompson and Heath, but died shortly afterwards.
A group of brownshirts were imprisoned by The First World in Teskoy Prison, accused of bringing about The Crushing Fist. They have since escaped with the help of Danny's team.
