Technoarcana of the Ordo Luminen

The Devotees of the Motive Force also known as ‘Electropriests’ those of the sects covered by the Ordo Luminen believe in the sacred nature of what they call the Motive Force believing that all life and motion owes its continued existence to that ineffable divinity - unlike other Tech-Priests this veneration is presented by the manipulation of their own bioelectric energy enhanced by bionic implants.

Martian Device - Voltagheist Animus

The myriad subsects of the Electropriests each have their own ways of manipulating the bioelectric energy that flows through their forms though they can be roughly divided between the Corpuscarii and Fulgurite weaponry - when a Tech-Priest is inducted into this order they may pick one of these;

Fulgurite Weapons These end to be longer, staves and batons (42” or greater) often held in both hands granting reach to strike within melee.

• They strike with Rend or Shock in melee every 3s

Corpuscarii Weapons Are smaller (<36”), often short cudgels or rings of capacitors worn as gauntlets.

• They strike with Bolt at targets within 5 metres and if melee-safe may be used to strike with Bolt in melee. Used at range they must be reloaded (recharged) every 10 shots.

Rite Electrica Aspectu

The majority of Electropriests ritually blind themselves or wear veils to obscure their vision, instead relying on extrasensory perception of electrical currents from implants in their brain to see.;

You may call Scan up to three times no less than 10s apart at vocal range before needing to Recuperate and meditate.

Rite Vis Motiva

As the fanatics of the Machine Cult, the Electropriests augmentations mean they often keep going even after suffering horrific injuries;

• When reduced to Bleeding you may expend a Esoterica (volksgeist charge), after reacting to the final blow, keep acting as normal for 10s in order to complete one dramatic act (strike a blow, flip the power switch, hold the door, ect) before collapsing Bleeding. You must Recuperate before you can do this again.

You may push this rite to do the following;

• After you become Bloodied you may expend a Esoterica use Get it Together on yourself after 10s of animated roleplay of electrical charge running through your veils. This ability cannot be used again until you have Recuperated. You continue to Bleed through the roleplay period.
  • This is treated as the normal Get it Together call, subject to the same restrictions such as calls that prevent it from affecting you.

Rites Militaris Artes

Electropriests are primarily a cadre trained in close-ranged combat, building up charge by landing repeated blows on their foes - each time they strike a foe they charge their voltaghiest field further gaining increasing their charge and allowing them to transfer the energy for devastating effect

Each time your Martian Device hits you increase your charge level by 1 to a maximum of 5 you may push to use the ability at your current charge level at which point you reset back to 0 - your abilities are;

1. Your electrified weapons cause people to jerk back in shock call Shock or Haywire with your Voltagheist Animus.
2. You send out an arcing bolt of energy, call Bolt at a target within 5m or further if you have a Corpuscarii device.
3. You may Deflect one attack call you are aware of, this has no effect against calls of Sunder or those with Warp attached.
4. You may use Get it Together on yourself.
5. You unleash your stored energies in a coruscating blast call Mass Haywire centred on yourself (but you yourself are immune)

Feedback-Curses

Whenever you fail a power check you suffer the following effect;

The next time you use your device or push one of your rites you suffer the effects of Haywire and call Mass Shock centered on yourself as your voltaghiest field dissipates violently.

If you fail a power test MORE than once then the length of the Haywire increases by 10s for each failure you may spread these or take them all on one.
