Blessed

A Blessed (adj. form) was a term used to describe a being that had been imbued with, quite literally, a Blessing from the Father (a common God envisioned by Humans, though many other species had many similar versions in their history), though of course many species described such aspects differently. The being in question was usually a good deal stronger, more alert and intelligent than most others of their kind, and possessed incredible growth potential in all these aspects. One ability that was shared with all was the ability to perform World Manipulation, a feat which, as the name suggests, allowed the user to control objects around them, almost like they were manipulating gravity. Most agreed that all of these actions, however, were truly at the command of the Father, who was giving the illusion of using the said being to act out his will. Blessed also tended to be calm, and at peace with the world around them, though this is not always true.

All Blessed also had an individual Aura, which all felt slightly different to all other Blessed, and could be easily detected unless one underwent training to hide it. When the Blessed felt a strong surge of emotion, the Aura was known to burst forth from their bodies, taking the physical manifestation of glowing flames around their body. The colour varied depending on one's temperament, but did not change depending on emotion. It did however sometimes alter itself slightly went the Blessed's beliefs and dispositions sharply changed, most notably when one became Corrupted and began using their powers for evil.

Auras can be transmitted through certain Favoured materials. This has lead most trained Blessed to adopt the use of a Stvan, a hand-selected and often hand-crafted weapon of their choice. Though most Stvans take the form of swords, lances; axes; maces; whips and all manner of weapons - some not even melee-based - have been observed. All Auras have slightly different effects upon concentrated contact with another being through a Stvan, though it usually amplifies the damage of the said weapon. Other common effects are increased gravitational knockback from impacts, burning effects or minor paralysation.

As mentioned, though many Blessed are instruments of good, not all are. Some become Corrupted, in which instance they typically exile themself from Saints and either join an existing band of Corrupted or create their own. A Corrupted's Aura usually grows redder or blacker in colouration after they grow evil; this change can sometimes be gradual.
