That's about it as far as I know. OpMegs has a more complete version, as he's the one that came up with it.
system for them that Crey uses for organizational plans.
Type 0: The Original Four, which, as Drogan noted, were vastly modded -33S copies of the original Sabers, for Largo's smear campaign in Red Eyes, but
stolen by Crey and taken back to CoH Earth.
Type 1: First generation copies, built around the -33S technology obtained from further covert tech raids on GENOM. Their brains are also identical to -33S
types, but given the fact Crey doesn't entirely understand them, a large proportion of these units have gone rogue, insane, or simply failed to function.
However, enough were successfully malleable that a majority of the Scimitars operating in the Rogue Isles are Type Ones. Sylvie, Anri, Meg, and Lou of the
Generaos quintet have been brought online through this method, and there appears to be a running theme that they're all based off fictional characters(we
have Gunsmith Cats, Those Who Hunt Elves, Fire Emblem, Revolutionary Girl Utena, and others)
Type 2: -33S bodies, without an artificial brain, are implanted with a human brain taken from an unwilling participant, usually someone that's been a
problem for Crey in the past, and brainwashed into loyal soldiers. The local Lisa Vanette was put on the scent of this story when Crey thought she'd make a
good tool. Unfortunately for Crey, it didn't work out. Blaze Sabre and Amp Scimitar are also of this type.
Unnofficial Type-3: Copycats and other armored folks that've taken up the Sabre mantle for whatever reason. Examples include Genki Sabre, Lost Sabre, and
presumably others. Most of these have been vetted by Sylia extensively before she actually opens up the group to them.
As for the Purrfects, the story basically went that Matrix had his catgirl character, Just Another Archer, which was her own snarky response to the registry
office asking her hero name. Eventually, as she became an established hero, she wanted to change it to something less....sarcastic, and of the suggestions put
out, Purrfect Archer was selected. And then Spud made Purrfect Scrapper, followed by Purrky Goth(Ebony) and Purrfect Storm(Fox), and the meme became
self-sustaining at that point. Of late, we've seen actual subversions with male Purrfects(Purrfect Arrow, Purrfect Knight, and Purrfect Kick, to my
knowledge).
