Creation - 4 Might
Conceptual
Name: Vowzra's Victors
Description: A large Order of some 1,000 individuals dedicated to Vowzra, Belruarc and Illunabar, as well as Belvast and The Bard. The Order is made up of loyal adherents whose base is New Chronos and who are a central part of its ever-expanding, undying community. On New Chronos, they forge their specialised weapons and their unique spider-silk armour, and are trained on a perpetual basis in preparation for a time when they would have to protect New Chronos or venture into the Universe outside in order to carry out the will of their guardian gods.
Vowzra's Victors are specialised in the use of weaponry and 'Wi', a form of magic heavily centred around telekinesis which the Victors unlocked over their eons in Chronos with the aid of both Vowzra and the Bard.
They are distinguished by their spider-silk armour, which covers them from head to toe, and which is impossibly light while offering protection far beyond anything most naturally-occuring metals can provide. The silk is harvested from the Chronos Silk-Spider with a special technique known only to the Victors, and the armour is likewise created using another such technique.
They are also distinguished for their
viciously curved short-swords which have an extra long grip for two-handed use when necessary. In addition to that, also usually wield
pole-swords which have a razor-sharp naginata blade at one end and a spearhead at the other.
The Victors are staunchly loyal and religious, they have faith in all their guardian gods and truly believe that they are protected - whether it is by the 'Celestial Above', Chronos itself, 'Our Master the Bard and Our Master Belvast', or by 'Our Mother of the Cherry' or 'Our Mother of the Words'. They follow them all and do their bidding as it best deserves to be done. Years of meditation, contemplation and rigorous study, as well as training and living together have also given them increased mental capacity, focus, discipline, organisation, and skill with 'Wi'. On the battlefield or in the temple, these are warriors famed, models of human character and morals, and unmatched worshippers of their guardian gods.
Amongst the Victors are also those who are specialists in covert action and are nigh impossible to detect in their covert form, even by low-level gods. These particular brothers, given the honorific 'Silent Brother' or 'Silent Sister', are capable of becoming invisible (hiding their presence completely and making them nigh impossible to detect) and teleporting long distances. This has limits. They cannot, for instance, teleport from one planet to another as such would require Wi reserves which they simply do not have.
One of the key differences between Victors and normal inhabitants of New Chronos is that even when they leave Chronos. Moreover, the Time energies within them mean that, when a guardian god intervenes, they are capable of recovering from the most serious injuries and even come back to life after being slain (this is a complete return to life and not 'undeath').
Victors usually refer to one another with the honorific, 'Brother' or 'Sister'. Particularly powerful Victors, who are not of the 'Silent' variation, are given the honorific 'Battle Brother' or 'Battle Sister'.
Appearance: All Victors, when going into battle, are dressed the same. They are covered from head to toe, much like mummies, in Spider-Silk. The head is likewise
covered, but has on it the
Vowzrid Mark. Above this first layer comes the second, a white silk-spider
robe with a wide hood. This is exceptionally thick and can absorb blunt damage just as well as it resists being cut. Above this comes the final layer, which is a white
full-body cloak also of spider-silk. The back of this last layer also sports the Vowzrid Mark.
