SANCTIS (san-t-is)

OVERVIEW

Sanctis are a empowered group of Humans & Beasts who are the wielders of Kavod, which is the actual glory of The Source. Sanctis are the counterparts of the Dynami, the wielders of the power of The Source called Dunamai. Consisting of Humans & Beasts of different backgrounds, the Sanctis act as the Lord Protectors over the lands of Spera and connected dominions.

WHO ARE THE SANCTIS?

The Sanctis are a not a separate race with unusual traits that marks them as different. Instead, the Sanctis are a collection of empowered Humans and Beasts (Pantara, Saurid, Ursida) coming from various backgrounds who have banded together to form an powerful congregation. They have operated as the second half of the Lord Protectors over Spera and connected domains for a long time. Sanctis are dedicated to their Calling such as they have a reputation for their staunch mindset.

KAVOD-REALM OF DIVINE EMPOWERING GLORY

Kavod is the realm of divine glory that is given by The Source to chosen Human & Beast wielders called Sanctis ("sanctified ones"). Kavod (“glory” & “armaments”) is a realm of glory that has actual weighty substance that affects both the Natural realm & Divine realm, and grants powers based on its very nature. Kavod can be used for combative & non-combative purposes, yet it has unique properties that is exclusive to Kavod. Kavod is an anti-mystical realm that clashes against the mystical world, a trait shared with Dunamai. Thereby making it an opposing presence to Mageia. Kavod also are given a divine covering called Brandeum (“holy covering”), which is the “armaments” of Kavod. Other beings who cannot are immediately affected profoundly in many ways, ranging from passing out to even certain death if the Sanctis wills it. Kavod also gives off a sound resembling multiple claps of thunder occurring at the same time.
Kavod grants all Sanctis two incredible capabilities: divine powers that allows them to supercede the laws of the natural realm & operate in the laws of the divine realm, which is the “strength” of Kavod. These powers allow the Sanctis to perform many of the same feats of power as the Dynami, but also have certain powers exclusive to them.
Intense divine presence: The Kavod of all Sanctis carries an extremely intense & heavy divine presence, which affects all beings (mortal & divine) & environments regardless to their nature. A Sanctis’ Kavod manifests as divine fire with fervert heat & flames, which can literally burn anything the Sanctis wills. Kavod also can be so intense that many beings will not be able to approach the Sanctis unless the Sanctis wills it or have enough power to withstand effects (to varying degrees).
Thunderous presence: The Kavod of each Sanctis makes a very audible sound whenever it is manifested, which is the sound of divine thunder. This sound is so piercing that it can affect mortal & divine beings during actual combat.

BRANDEUM-ARMAMENTS OF KAVOD

The supernatural covering called Brandeum means “Holy Covering”, and is also unique to each individual. Each Sanctis’ covering is tied to their power, and are not separate. The look of each armor is unique, and can range to be more form-fitting to being more bulky. Brandeum can only use their full power when completely in their covering, although they can use part of their powers when using only parts of their Brandeum. Sanctis can will the Brandeum to manifest, disappear, & change form at will. Brandeum is not made of metal, but instead is a type of celestial substance that can become harder than the hardest material. Yet is can become more flexible than any fabric. Brandeum can also be both hard & flexible at the same time.
Base Power Usage: All Sanctis are able to use their base power without having to wear their Brandeum anytime they please, which allows them to engage in battle very quickly. This applies only to their base power, however.
Partial Brandeum Usage: Sanctis can use part of their Brandeum at will, which allows them to use only what power they need to deal with whatever situation they are in. However, this does not allow them to use their full power but only partial amounts of power, which is beyond their base power. The partial amount of Brandeum that Sancti use is connected to how much of their power they can use outside of their base.
Full Brandeum Usage: In order to use their full power, every Sanctis must wear their full Brandeum by simply willing it to manifest. There is no other way for Sancti access the full depth of their power without wearing their Brandeum. Sanctis can wear their Brandeum instantly.
Metaphysical form: Sanctis can transform their Brandeum into any type of clothing at will, allowing them to remain in full gear while being able to keep it hidden in plain sight. However, in order to use their full power Sanctis must transform their Brandeum back into its true form.

UNIVERSAL ATTRIBUTES

Divine Empowerment: All Sanctis receives their powers from their Kavod, which is actually the glory of The Source itself.
Transfigured physiology: The physiology of both Human & Beast Sanctis is permanently altered via exposure to the full presence of The Source. The very Presence of The Source causes the attributes of all Sanctis to be elevated to a type of divine body in a state called transfiguration. The transfigured bodies of all Sanctis are able to operate in the natural realm easily, but also has the capabilities to interact with the Divine realm as well. The unique trait about the transfigured bodies of the Sanctis is that there is no genetic mutation/alteration, hybrid traits, nor anything of the like at all. The transfigured bodies of Human & Beast Sanctis are still intact, but elevated to a higher state by The Source’s very Presence.
Supernatural power: Sanctis possess varying degrees of supernatural power which acts as the core from where all of their powers manifest from. These energies acts as the fuel for their powers, being harnessed into their various individual power each Sanctis wields. In the case of Sanctis, their energies are tied to their armor. The amount of power each Sanctis has is dependent on what power class they are part of, and within that class what level he or she either currently has or has attained. Essentially, the more powerful the Sanctis is, the more power he or she wields.

Sanctis can move that speeds ranging from near the speed of light to far beyond the speed of light.

It is nearly impossible to sneak up on Sanctis.

Supernatural translocation: Sanctis have the ability to move from one place to another supernaturally, displacing themselves to do so. This is done by warping from one place to another. The action happens in the physical plane; the translocation is a supernatural act that renders the user invulnerable to any physical interaction. This is not the same as teleportation.
Matter translocation: Sanctis also have the ability to translocate matter and move it elsewhere in a manner very similar to their own translocation. Sanctis can move objects, buildings, other living beings, etc.

Life Resonance: Sanctis also generate a resonance called a Life resonance, which is the same type of resonance that covers all of Aretz. This resonance allows Brandeum to fly above Eretz to the cosmos while ensuring that they do not suffer any mental damage while they are above the life resonance field of Aretz. The life resonance frequency that every Sanctis generates is 7.83.

In addition, Sanctis have access to a vast multitude of power sets that enable them to perform feats and phenomena that can be either beneficial or utter devastating.

BIOLOGY

All individual Sanctis possess the same biology as the race of their birth, with the unique trait being that their biological structure has been elevated to supernatural levels due to the influence of Kavod. Much like the Sanctis, Sanctis have no foreign alterations of any kind within their overall biology. There is ongoing research within the various scientific institutions of Spera regarding how this is possible. The Sanctis' elevated biology is called Superphysicality, with said biology being ascended permanently.
Another unique trait about Sanctis biology is that there is no offspring of a Sanctis that will inherit the attributes of that parent for certain. A Human Sanctis who builds a family cannot inherently pass on their superphysicality to their children, meaning that the children would be normal when born. It is believed to be a safety feature built within all Sanctis to prevent misuse of their superphysicality. However, there are cases where a child is born with superphysicality with their parents being completely non-powered. Ultimately, the Sanctis believe that those who are meant to be a Sanctis will become one by The Source regardless of the lineage.
