The Traditions
|
|
While I view all mages as family the V-Depts are my true brothers and sisters. I've only met a few since transitioning to this world but so far I haven't found a single one that I haven't clicked with.
|
|
|
My fellow Technomages. I'd heard of them of course, but here they are so much better organized. Met a few since coming and, I think, I'm very lucky that it was a member of the Society of Ether and her acolyte who met me first.
|
|
|
The Akashics, I knew one back home. Great fighter. Very focused and cerebral out of combat. Looking forward to meeting them here in this new world.
|
|
|
The Order of Hermes. It was a legend back home, their fragments were impressive even. Finally met one so far here... totally not living up to the hype so far.
|
|
|
Orphans. They may be viewed as unusual here, at least based on what little I've determined so far, but back home they were the majority. Why make a big deal about it?
|
|
|
Everyone else. I'm reserving my judgement for now until I actually meet them.
|
The Others
|
|
Sorcerers. They're not Mundanes. But they aren't truly Awakened either. Never met one back home. I've met a couple since coming to this world. They're interesting, that's for sure.
|
|
|
Psychics? Well, one of the Sorcerers I met says he used to be one of these. I get it in theory, powers of the mind and all. But how are they not just another flavor of a Sorcerer?
|

|
Back home we call hardliner members of the Technocratic Union "Feds" because in the ISA (Incorporated States of America) they have fairly completely infiltrated the government but the Technocrats weren't a uniform juggernaut, some were on friendly terms with the surviving. I haven't met any here yet (that I'm aware of at least) but I'm open to the possibility that they aren't universally vile like I've got the impression most Tradition mages here think they are.

Marauders are mages who have gone insane. Yeah, you've heard that right, a person who can bend reality to their will with a twisted and/or broken will. When a Marauder is in town there's going to be a mess.
|
|
|
Nobody's talked about the Nephandi much since my arrival in this new world but what little I've heard lines up with what I knew from home. They're bad news. Take a sociopath and awaken them. A monster's monster. Yeah, `nuff said.
