Advocates (@CGC)

Author's Note: This page details a space-faring, militaristic and often villainous order of mystics - who are set to exist in the Champions Universe. Using information I've managed to find about the universe, I've taken as much care as possible to make them fit into the setting without contradicting established canon. If you see something that doesn't work with existing lore and/or have useful information concerning information I've used, please leave comments in the discussion page of this entry. Thanks!

((Major WIP))

Overview

The Advocate Ascendancy is a powerful and political movement of ether controllers who use their power over elements to enforce their ideals, laws and practices over those inferior. Advocates believe in self promotion and utilizing the ether and other races to further their own agendas.

Rites of Ascension

1: Meditate and battle your way to a Locus, fighting spirits or threats often placed in your path by your master. Upon reaching the Holy place, meditate and fashion a Foci from the ambient Ether, and preferably from the residual echoes of the released spirits of the enemies killed to reach the location. ( Besides the physical battle to reach this location, this method is actually Easier then the Adept to yield the Etheral Gem (Foci) as the released spiritual energy of the dead, helps catalyst the process )

2: Construct a personal Lumen, with limited guidance from a master ( usually in the means of making the weapon deadlier then more stable, or durable ) and defeat a declared champion of the master's choosing in single combat using only this weapon (no Ether, the disciple is usually clad in only a loincloth or similarly exposing attire); and consume the etheral essence of the fallen champion to further strengthen the Foci of the Lumen, this process cements its creation.

3: Challenge a Master, who usually declares his own Advocate disciple as his champion, in a duel to the death. This battle is usually witnessed by both masters with Disciples in question, and is often a means to demonstrate power and to remove Political opponents from another Master's path. Everything goes in this duel, the Disciple is entitle to utilize any of his training, power of Ether, his personal cunning and willpower to win the duel. If the Disciple defeats his opponent, they are granted the Title of Advocate and are recognized as ascended.

Notes

• (Ether: A mystical force that permeates creation, it ebbs and flows around all things, and is considered the fabric that unifies the elements. Manipulation of the elements can be utilized with proficiency in the tapping of ether.)
• (The Lure: The allure, the calling to use the power of ether for personal gain, to oppress those who do not have it, and to seek ever more, and more impressive and dangerous control and mastery over the ether.)

These dangerous figures bear the familiar weapons known as Lumen:

• (Lumen: A device created from the focused manifestation of ether into a raw physical form; (produced by the disciple, during their right of passage, through intensive meditation and focus, in a Locus.)(NOTE: the blade is not capable of cleaving questionite, but it does damage it!)
• (Locus: a place flowing strongly in the Ether, many fights have been broken out over control of these precious locations) the Device focuses a continuous plasma charge through the semisolid ether Foci, to yield an incredible blade of energy.)

Advocates and the Advocate Ascendancy are just one of the many organizations of the Galactic Federation!
