Oculus

Conspiracy theories? In Clint City, they're alive and kicking... We're the Oculus, also known as the Government or the Eye, and we govern the city from the shadows. We infiltrate everything, pulling the strings to bend to our supreme will.

Bonus

Infiltrated: If only one other clan is present in the draw, the Oculus card is considered to be a part of that clan. If two other clans are present, the Oculus card will belong to the card of the sole clan, thus activating its bonus. If three other clans are present in the draw, or if you have more than one Oculus in your hand, the Infilitrated bonus has no effect.

Trivia

They are the first clan to be mentioned in the game, but the longest to be released.
Their name is a synonym for the word "eye", fitting their symbol, background and parasitic beings
Their logo is a red big eye in a triangle, surrounded by tentacles emitting from the triangle.
- The logo itself is a reference to the Illuminati.

They are based off the principle of parasitism, which is a symbiotic relationship between species where the one organism, the parasite, lives in or inside another organism, which is the host, causing the host harm, and they are both adapting structurally to this way of life.
- This was first seen, when the first two cards from the Oculus were named 'Hosts' and shown to inhabit special persons, as they were originally alien monsters.
They might also be based off the Horror Stories from H. P. Lovecraft, where in his stories, he described entities who possess mind control and are often portrayed as tentacle-like entities with only one eye in the middle of their bodies, fitting the Oculus's second name, the Eye.
Their second bio reads as: "We can adapt ourselves and appropriate the strength of other clans which makes us very discreet. However, we work alone and agreement with the Leaders is impossible... Avoid putting us side by side!"
Their parasitic beings seem to be some sort of smaller version of some alien entity while their hosts seem to be former or current members of the existing clans, leading to the assumption that some clans have been spied on since they were founded
They are the first clan released to not be featured in the New Blood packs, and instead being released in their own special pack, called Oculus.
- They are the first clan to be collectable via leveling up from Level 300 and above, making them unique in collecting.
They are the first clan seemingly fighting all other clans instead of only one or two like the other clans.
They seem to have a special rivalry with the Leader clan, probably due to the Leaders embodying hope in Clint City, and Oculus embodying corruption and destruction.
- Their team ability is even the opposite of the Leaders. While Leader's team ability enforces the cards to work solo, Oculus members focus on imitating and copying other clans' abilities.
They are the first clan whose abilities only activate when they are paired with other clans shown on their ability's field and only when their bonus is active.
Their colors are red and black, the same colors as GHEIST.
There was also an announcement post, clarifying the Oculus's clan's structure, the story goes as: "According to the most recent studies, the Oculus is organized into 2 Orders: The Senior Advisers who broach the link between the clans and the "higher sphere". The Higher Sphere (or GOVERNMENT), that governs crazy Clint City from the shadows. They are apparently the connection between the megapole and a dark force that has managed to find its way in through the numerous dimensional faults. Thanks to all these temporal and dimensional disturbances, the Oculus is partially revealed, a chance for our clans to outwit this extra-terrestrial organization whose sole objective remains unknown.
"Oculus" (AKA The Eye) was first teased and named in an Urban Rivals Site maintenance which happened Monday, September 25th, 2017. Urban Rivals admins made a background story about the maintenance and then posted the story on the website page to introduce "Oculus" as a character.: "If there's one thing you've got to hand Ethane, it's her unique talent for sniffing out traitors and plots in the making, however big or small they might be. And of course, she knew that by following Pilzken's and Bryan's orders to infiltrate the GHEIST, disguised as Vryer, she was sure to uncover something untoward. But what she found went far beyond anyone's imagination. No clan had been spared and there was not one part of the city that wasn't under constant control and surveillance. The Oculus was everywhere… Everyone had always thought the Government was the scourge of the city, its damned and invisible soul, the be-all and end-all of Clint City. But therein lay the genius of the Oculus. People often say the greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. But with the Oculus, their greatest trick was to have convinced people they existed, but under a whole other form and a whole other name. And now the great attack is about to commence. As of Monday, they'll be setting their sights on databases, computer servers, and the market. Nothing will ever be quite the same again..."
In Advisor's 1767 bio, it is revealed that for a citizen of Clint City to be taken over by the Oculus and become their puppet, they need a vice, an extreme one, depending on the citizen. In that case, it was Sobek's irresistible passion for murder.
The numbers that come after 'host' or 'advisor' on the cards' titles is a reference to the character in the artwork's id number.
- This is the reason why Phalloide Ld does not have numbers in her name, and is not called 'host' or 'advisor' because she was not an actual character in Clint City before being possessed.
In Advisors's 1658 bio, it is revealed that although they have been possessed, all Advisors retain some sort of conscience, meaning they might be fighting against the mental corruption, and can do some sort of action without being forced to.
- This, however, indicates that at least all Hosts are probably evil and completely lost their own mentality and have been effectively corrupted and controlled by the Oculus.
In Host's 1369 bio, it has been revealed that Nunavik was one of the first to encounter the Oculus as he already returned corrupted back to the Frozn village.
- It is further implied that the Oculus are picking their targets on purpose, as not only to spread chaos and destruction between the clans, but also to destroy their living places, as mentioned in Host's 1369 bio.
There was an extra explanation for the POLIT as part of the Oculus, with the following statement explaining its structure: "In Clint City, a small number of companies based in Oculus Valley have had a huge influence on our day-to-day lives for the past few years that their collective name has become synonymous with the Government. They are Profile, Oilz, Limitless, Infinity and Talks, aka the POLIT. They've even given rise to fledgling companies... These businesses have reignited the Clint City myth of gold and oil prospectors becoming millionaires in just a few strikes of a pickaxe..."
In Host 281's bio it was revealed, that usually the parasites have difficulties infecting their hosts, as the victims always resist and are desperately fighting to maintain their freedom and not being corrupted.
- However, there are apparently some individuals, that are not that resistant and embrace the parasites, like Estalt, who happens to also be Host 281.
So far, nearly all Advisors thus far have been revealed to be former leader or founders of the clans as well as high-ranking members, implying that all Advisors might be former leaders of the clans.
- This suggests, that the Oculus infect with system, as the Advisors have plenty of power and influence in the clans, further stretching the Oculus grip on the City.
In Advisor's 277's bio, it was stated that once infected and taken over by the parasite, the host will turn evil, losing all kindness it previously inhabited and just becomes nothing more than jealousy, violence and bitterness.
- It was further revealed that the parasite extinguishes the host's spirit, leaving an empty, void vessel.
For unknown reasons, so far the only one power to be able to cure someone from the Oculus's virus is Dounia Mt's power, as she was able to heal Memento from the Oculus virus.
