Priest

"My dear brothers and sisters, we stand at the threshold of a new era - an era of unbridled potential, where the shackles of genetic imperfection are cast aside and the true majesty of humanity is unleashed. Let us embrace the fire of transformation, let us sculpt our bodies and minds into instruments of perfection, and let us stride forth into a future where the weak are left behind and the strong inherit the cosmos. For we are the architects of our own destiny, and we will not be swayed by the whims of chance or the weakness of compassion. We are the Perfected Path, and we will shape the future in our image - an image of unyielding strength, unwavering resolve, and unrelenting excellence. Let us march forward, my friends, into the glorious unknown, with the certainty of our convictions and the power of our will guiding us every step of the way!"
~Pathfinder Martin Zech
