Fiction:Tul'kaarin

"We are the Tul'kaarin. Though Ada did not create us, we have risen to fight and die for him. It is through death, that we may finally embrace him, and all our foes shall soon embrace Lord Xizothano!"

- Overlord Mavarla

The Tul'Kaarin are a cult of personality dedicated to, a powerful being who came close to ascending to godhood, before his defeat at the hands of the Unified Alliance of Enlightenment and it's allies. After, a number of Volver began to question their believes, with many turning away from worship of Ada. However, many took on the worship further, attempting to continue his ideals. Due to adopting Volver customs into their cultures, many Ugandalorians where left vulnerable to this corruption, and, indeed, joined these rebel and cult movements against the UAE.

While many served loyally, especially among the main faction known as the, many Ugandalorians wished to escape the fate of the failing faction, and splintered off under a demagogue and master warrior known as Mavarla Atrass, taking on the Title of "The Claw of Ada", and leading his forces on his own.

Made up of Ugandalorians, Kodalorians, and a number of Walgolorian that have turn their backs on their Culture and rulers, the Tul'Kaarin also feature a number of other races, from Orgaat, Kadalian, and others, as well as Volver, and maintain a well-supplied and dangerous military force. Though the main faction of the Mendel Pact remain unaware of the Tul'kaarin, their numbers continue to grow, and are becoming a greater and greater threat to the Pact.

Early Years
The Tul'kaarin where not actually an entity onto themselves for many years. Although many Mendel of various races followed The Blood Knights and their worship of Xizothano Ada, most where of only moderate rank, due to the Volver's believes in their own inherent superiority, and distrust for alien help. Though not of the same respect as the Volver, the Mendel mostly kept silent of their treatment, mostly out of loyalty, somewhat out of fear, and many for the duty they saw for their god.

As numerous cults and Clans joined, one leader made himself known among the Cult called the Blood Knights, Mavarla Atrass. Although an alien, Volver leaders among the Blood Knights could not help but respect his skill in battle. Though a high ranking figure, Mavarla merely kept to himself, rarely speaking, though his presence was a source of pride among the Ugandalorians among the Blood Knights. Though largely unknown by, Mavarla did become famous among some of the lesser leaders of the Blood Knights, for his loyalty and command skill, as well as his silent nature and straight forward nature regarding combat and loyalty.

Part of the reason that Mavarla attained such high rank was that a high-ranking Blood Knight commandant,, saw potential in the fanatical Ugandalorian and gave him significant sway among his troops. However, Iyoka was actually an atheist manipulating the Blood Knights on behalf of his own secretive clan. Mavarla didn't find this out until much later, however. So he served loyally and without question, believing he was serving the will of Ada.

Then, many things changed.

Formation
As the Blood Knights began to collapse from repeated Volver and allied attacks on their territory and followers, Mavarla and many Mendel questioned the Anthil's right to rule. Would someone else not make a better ruler? Gathering the Mendel leaders, as well as several Volver, Mavarla spoke that he could lead them to glory, that he had been gifted with visions of glory and bloodshed since his joining of the Blood Knights, and had been gifted with such by Lord Ada himself. Gaining the loyalty of the many alien and Volver within the Blood Knights, Atrass split off his forces from the Blood Knights, taking with him a sizeable number of troops, and weakening the Blood Knights further.

What Mavarla didn't know was that this was a setup from Iyoka to weaken the organization he himself had rebelled from. Inspiring many other Ugandalorians to rebel from Anthil's failing rule, he was able to split the organization's Ugandlaorians from the Knights' servitude. Then, he sprung the second phase of his plan. His Ugandlaorian followers, actually atheists like him, followed him into rebellion and service of the. While this weakened the fledgeling Tul'kaarin, it didn't stop its formation and it quickly recovered from this betrayal, much to Iyoka's dismay.

After setting up his forces away from UAE holdings, Atrass remodeled his forces and, selecting a group of leaders to serve under him, took the name Tul'kaarin, translating out into a word for a Demon of the Void that haunts the stars in Ugandalorian myth. With his forces firmly rooted and stable, his enemies unaware, and his rivals on the verge of defeat, Mavarla began his plans to make his presence known once more, with the defeat of his foes.

Culture
The Tul'kaarin, as a religious organization/cult of personality, are utterly loyal and dedicated to Xizothano Ada, and believe him the source of power and freedom from the bonds of mortality, as well as he who will reshape the universe and guide his followers upon the path to Godhood. Though blood-thirsty against "heretics" who defile the ways and relics of Ada himself, but are very honorable and still follow many of the honor codes and conventions established by the loyalist members of their kin.

Outside of this, The Tul'kaarin are dedicated towards gathering the ability to use Void Energy, with Brygon, King of the Volver a target for their members. Many Tul'kaarin have displayed an interest in the Brotherhood of Darklings, mostly for their connection to Lord Ada himself.

All members glorify Battle and see it as the mantle upon wish their devotion to Ada is shown. Death is seen as the highest honor, as they believe all death feeds Ada, and ultimately a death on the field of battle is the greatest a Warrior of the Tul'Karrin can achieve in life. Those that fail to die a proper death are treated with slight distaste until they gain another chance at a good death.

Religion
The Tul'Kaarin follow Xizothano Ada and the other Dark Gods of the Volver more so then Mendel and other deities. Despite their loyalty to Ada, they care little for other deities. As far as they are concerned, you may worship who ever you like in private, but you must submit to Lord Ada when the time comes.

Part of their faith includes dying in battle for Lord Ada, which they see as a glorious chance to earn a way into the divine beyond and become one with Lord Ada once more, adding their strength to his so he may rise from death and become a god once more.

Species
Ugandalorian= The Ugandalorians are the leaders of the Tul'kaarin and it's military, religious, and political masters. Although not creations of Ada, or his original worshippers, the Ugandalorians adopted Volver religious believes into their own as a sign of their alliance and the closeness of their people. Unfortunately, many darker practices and believes have managed to make their way into the Mendel culture, including the worship of Volver Dark gods. Although must ignored and disregarded these believes, many clung to them, and continued to weave them into their believes, more and more.
 * Species - Ugandalorian (Mendel Primus)
 * Homeworld -
 * Role - Military, religious, and political leaders.

While many Ugandalorians joined the worshippers of Ada, few had high position, until now. The dark worshippers of Ada now lead the organization ahead of all other races, eager to appease Lord Ada and fight in his name. They fight all the more zealously under The Claw of Ada then before, their armor different, and their tactics far more dangerous then their loyal kin, for they place no regard for employing survival and evasive attacks. Kill or be killed, it all serves Lord Ada in the End.

The use of the Breath of the Void has altered a number of their appearances, causing them to become more bestial in appearance and more reptilian, though their genetics remain largely the same.

Kodalorian= A number of Kodalorians joined the Ugandalorians. While a private, aloof people, not all where immune to he temptations that Ada brought them. A number of cults and warriors where swayed by their cousins the Ugandalorians into joining their ranks, and promised the power of the void if they fought for Ada, and to become part of something greater in death. These Kodalorians, mostly from the outer regions, and more feudal and barbaric in attitude and nature, eagerly joined. Due to the nature of Kodalorian worship, many cults where merely brushed off as eccentric religious groups, all the while hiding their true intentions.
 * Species - Kodalorian (Mendel Secundus)
 * Homeworld - Kodalon 5
 * Role - Military and religious leaders

With the birth of the Blood Brothers and the Tul'kaarin, the Kodalorians who where part of these cults joined in force, bringing their indomitable will and massive strength to bear as shock troops for the Tul'kaarin. They are deployed often as shock troopers, sent to break holes and open up openings for other soldiers to charge into, and destroying as many enemies for Lord Ada as they can. Kodalorians, also act as religious leaders, commonly leading younger members in a sermon to Lord Ada before a battle begins.

Kodalorians do not imbibe the breath of the void as much as the Ugandalorians, preferring to rely on their skill and strength over mere essence, even if it is Lord Ada's own that empowers their kin.

Walgolorian= Walgolorian are surprisingly number, though they still are quite common among the Tul'kaarin ranks. Though the Walgolorian people abide by the Word of their Empyreals to the letter, some where turned away by the words of the Tul'kaarin's deacons long ago, promising them something greater then the Abiding Truth. Many of these Walgolorian where embittered, the repeated attacks by the likes of the Eldarisian and others on their kindred leading them to believe the rest of the universe was unfit for the Walgolorian and their kindred, and had to be remade for the better.
 * Species - Walgolorian (Mendel Tridus)
 * Homeworld -
 * Role - Military and diplomatic leaders.

These Walgolorian act in their military forces, providing the same ranged combat and stealth actions that they did in the Old pact, bring their battlesuits and various weapons with them that they had in the Pact/Dominion. Falling to Ada's promises has not reduced their abilities, with each Walgolorian a capable warrior and expert marksmen all the same. Outside of this, many act as diplomats for the Ascendant Council, contacting groups to join the Tul'kaarin, being very charismatic and capable of bringing many under their fold.

Volver= The Volver were the first species to truly worship Ada as their creator. From thousands of years ago to now, some Vovler strongly worship Ada and would love to see him return once more. These knights are ruthless products of the Blood Knights and the Crimson Splinter cults. They are the sons and daughters of the original members of the Knights of Ascon, the first Volver Separatist group.

Their skills and knowledge of Volver culture serve them well against their foes and former brothers in arms. Unfortunately, these "Knights" are no where near as skilled as the Imperial Volver Knights that are loyal to the, due to the lack of former Volver Knights to instruct the new generation after 's extermination of most rouge Knights. However, they are currently learning from their Ugandalorian allies, even if it's against the old ways.

Ground Forces
The Tul'kaarin still use the traditional ranks the Ugandalorians used when they were part of the Blood Knights. Unlike the Suicide Watch, who changed their rank names when the atheist Blood Knight rebels joined with Dead Watcher defectors, the ranks remain relatively unchanged but for a few exceptions. Mavarla has also edited them to be more centered around him than before, when the ranks were looser and more traditional.

Tul'kaarin, unlike the Mendel, have no issue with dying in battle, and in fact view it favorably, believing that in death, they become one with Ada and strengthen him. Otherwise, their tactics and maneuvers are generally the same, though changed to focus more on violent bloodshed and "glorious" killing, without care for if they live or die.

Tul'kaarin soldiers answer to Ascendants, advisers specifically chosen by Mavarla for their loyalty and skill in battle, and ability to lead through inspiration rather then intimidation. Still Ascendants have no qualms about killing their subordinates if they step out of line, content to let fear rule their lessers so they know their place. Still, the Tul'kaarin are still somewhat honorable, refraining from killing too brutally, and believe in doing so quickly and efficiently so their foes can become one with Ada all the faster. Torture, they believe, leaves Ada wanting.

 Votary= Votaries are the basic foot soldiers of the Tul'kaarin who have yet to achieve great success in battle. They are the bulk of the Tul'kaarin forces, made up of newcomers chosen from their Cults under Mavarla's thrall and captured enemies and newcomers, being a cross between the Militia and Conscript from the Mendel Pact, made up of both Ugandalorians and aliens, younger warriors, and elder joiners. This does not distract from their main purpose; to add bulk to Tul'laarin armies and give them extra fire power. Little care is placed on them individually, so long as they can fire upon the enemy and do it well.
 * Role - Basic infantry
 * Weapons - Varies
 * Defenses - Light combat harnesses

As befits their low rank, they wear little armor compared to their Blood Knight predecessors. because the Tul'kaarin, as of now, lack equipment and manufacturing, Votaries have armor only on their chest, legs and a basic helmet. Unlike other forces, who dress in standard-issue uniform armors, Votaries have no such regulations, because the Tul'kaarin see no reason to waste good armor on cannon fodder, and commonly wear whatever color of armor and clothing they prefer. Often uniforms are threadbare, and could barely be considered armor.

Votaries have little regulation for weapons and arms, and while many are well-armed with good blaster rifles and other weapons, some use simple ballistic weapons, and others are even forced onto the field with basic melee weapons, such as swords and spears. Due to this, to keep them in line, Tul'kaarin commonly let their religious leaders practically indoctrinate them with unshakable faith in their cause, causing them to develop an almost suicidal need to accomplish their goals, even on suicide missions.

Votary Major= The result of Votaries proving their worth, and becoming "Bloodied", Majors are officers among the lower ranking members of the Tul'kaarin, designed to keep their charges in line and lead them with greater experience. Either made up of Ugandalorians who perform averagely on the field (Young Ugandalorians who move up commonly move to another rank based on their skills) or alien Votaries who still have much to learn. They are to keep their Votaries in order and keep them fighting, as Votaries commonly are deployed so that Tul'kaarin forces can retreat, while they stall the foe. If Votaries retreat too soon, or at all, it can ruin Tul'kaarin operations.
 * Role - Squad commanders, frontal assault troopers
 * Weapons - Varies, usually plasma rifles or repeaters
 * Defenses - Light combat harness

Majors receive better armor, blood-red armor reinforced and with the addition of a set of small horns on their helmet to distinguish them. Votary Majors armor is considered the average of which all other armor is based upon and upgraded from, with Votary Majors usually be seen as akin to Troopers of the Mendel Pact, though, due to lacking the industrial base of the main Pact, much of their armor is considered sub-bar compared to the main Pact's own armor systems. Majors quite often are found looting the armor used by other Mendel factions after battle and during raids.

Votary Majors, while commonly field officers in service to the Tul'kaarin, are just as likely to form squads and packs of their own to operate away from the lowly Votary grunts that are so often used as canon fodder. Though lacking in the discipline of the Mendel Troopers, due to being, on average, younger and more impulsive, still hold their own against most enemies, armed with far more dangerous weapons, usually looted from far-off Mendel colonies and give a boost in power, and instability. While more prone to explosion and other malfunctions, the Votary Majors care not, for in the end, their deaths feed Ada all the same.

Deacon= Deacons are battlefield commanders who have achieved a great amount of success, enough to be noticed by another Deacon. This Deacon will take his selected trainee, educating and indoctrinating him even further. The training makes them extremely deadly in combat, strong leaders, and almost completely immune to pain. They wear strong, brown-colored armor with a curved, conical helmet. This armor is equipped with very powerful shielding, enough where they can survive a rifle shot to the head.
 * Role - Battlefield commanders
 * Weapons - Plasma rifles, plasma repeaters, concussion guns
 * Defenses - Strong shields and armor

Deacons are not exactly a promoted rank, since the candidate must be noticed and trained by another Deacon. In fact, if one is not careful, they can remain a Votary or Major all of their lives, which won't be long in that case, though, like with all Tul'kaarin ranks, the minor Votary and Majors may challenge a deacon for his or her position through the Right of Kal'sharii. Once a Tul'kaarin fighter becomes a Deacon, they cannot achieve the ranks of Warrior or Ascetic. Instead, they may become Zealots, or with luck an Ascendant.

A typical battlefield Deacon supports his troops right on the ground, battling his foes with advanced plasma weaponry while chanting morale-boosting prayers. As a result, they are often priority targets for the enemy, though quite often are followed around by a cadre of Warriors who have dedicated, or often forced into following the Deacon as bodyguards. These are often minor Warriors, with more loyalty to potential blood that can be split, rather then actual dedication to their commander.

Warrior= Warriors are Tul'kaarin fighters with prior battlefield experience, such as during the Mirusian Conflicts. Then again, most battlefield experience counts, even if it was against the Tul'kaarin or Blood Knights before the individual in question defects and joins the Tul'kaarin. Though, if the individual has fought Ada's servants in the past, he usually undergoes a self-inflicted torture ritual to prove his newfound loyalty.
 * Role - Heavy combat support, leadership
 * Weapons - Plasma launcher, exchange turret, vibrosword, uro-launcher
 * Defenses - Heavy armor and shields

This ritual is long and brutal, and ensures only Ada's most faithful attain this rank. First, the fighter starves himself for thirteen days while training vigorously. When this fasting is over, the fighter finds a quiet location, erects a shrine to Ada, then runs meathooks through his biceps. Then, he stands in place, leaning backwards until the hooks rip through his muscles. Salt is rubbed into the wounds, after which the fighter must stitch them up with no anesthetic. If the fighter is strong enough to survive all this, his survival on the battlefield is almost guaranteed, at least for a while. Warriors commonly act as Shock troopers, opening up holes in enemy lines and attacking weak points in enemy formations to ensure maximum damage.

The reason is that Warriors have some of the strongest armor and weapons available to the Tul'kaarin. Their armor is golden, with a curved helmet. The shields are something to be envied, able to protect him from even heavy weapons. As a sign of defiance and loyalty, the Warriors leave their arms bare so all their allies and foes can see their scars. As they move up in rank and attain more kills and power with the Tul'kaarin, a Warrior may add more scars to his arms to symbolize his growing strength.

Zealot= Zealots are very experienced Tul'kaarin fighters, selected by an enigmatic organization known only as the Academy and trained in all known forms of combat. Everything from skill with the enemy's weapons to martial arts from their, Volver, Raptoranean, and even Biskin culture is taught in the brutal concentration training centers. But it is well worth the effort, as the Zealots are the true hand of the Tul'kaarin. They are sent in when all other forces fail. As such, they are silent, ruthless, and completely without a hint of mercy, will to execute their Highlord's orders without reservation in the slightest.
 * Role - Battlefield commanders, special units, stealth fighters
 * Weapons - Ultrawave Sword, Plasma ripper, Pyro pistol
 * Defenses - Strong shielding, active camouflage

Their duties range from assassination, troop commanding, and artifact retrieval. To perform their duties, they are armed with the best Tul'kaarin tech available, including active camo units. Despite their skill, they don't work well alongside other Tul'kaarin units due to their style of fighting not melding well with basic battlefield tactics. As a result, they are usually deployed alone or in small teams. For this reason, as well as their elite training and secretive nature, Zealots are commonly compared to Super Commando units within the Pact, or Blood Guard within Dead Watch factions.

The presence of Zealots indicates an extreme interest from the Tul'kaarin leadership in that particular area. This makes them a priority target for enemy forces should they even be able to find them. The Tul'kaarin's leader, Mavarla Atrass, was once a Zealot and continues to wear a modified version of his old armor. Zealots are loyal to the Highlord above all else, and are commonly sent to assist members of the Ascendants in battle, or keep an eye on them. When someone wants the position of highlord for themselves, Zealots are not allowed to partake in the ritual of Kal'sharii, unlike other Tul'Kaarin forces.

Ascetic= Ascetics are the special ops troops of sorts, having lots of experience in warfare. They are known for their complete devotion to Ada. As a pre-battle ritual, they often starve themselves for days before having a banquet. They consider themselves as Ada's personal influence in this dimension. As a result, they go into battle bare-chested to show their devotion and faith, their bodies adorned with tattoos, ritual scars, and other markings of Ada, and like all worshippers, are prone to carving quotes and scripture from Ada that mean something important to them on their chest. They have helmets with long dreadlocks made from their enemies' sinew sticking out.
 * Role - Shock troopers
 * Weapons - Curvic sword, Proton repeater
 * Defenses - Strong shields and armor

Ascetics fight ferociously in battle, screaming war cries and intimidating animalistic calls to scare their foes before cutting them down. They originate from an ancient sect of Ugandal tribal warriors, who rode mounts into battle as cavalry. The Ascetics carry on this tradition to the present day, riding trained war mounts. This can greatly compliment a Tul'kaarin ground assault. But Ascetics rarely participate in indoor or enclosed battles, because they hate being inside. This also makes it difficult to transport them into battle, and, as such, when they join a Death Fleet, they commonly will be in small numbers.

Ascetics are probably most well known for their habit of collecting the corpses of their foes. They pile up their kills in individual piles on their ships after a retreat, and burn them to ash. They keep this ash and, before the next battle, cover themselves in it, giving them a ghostly, intimidating appearance. This has earned them great loathing and disgust from the True Ugandalorians, who view the desecration of the fallen as abhorrent.

Ascendant= Ascendants are the highest ranking leaders of the Tul'kaarin, made up of warriors who have fought and battled their way through battlefields and rivals alike to attain their position in power. Ascendants are feared and respected by their lessers for their fearsome abilities in warfare, and for their devotion to the Great Lord of the Void. Their position is nearly absolute, their power, almost unquestionable.
 * Role - Commanders, cult leaders, fleet commanders.
 * Weapons - Varies, telepathic powers.
 * Defenses - Heavy battle armor.

Ascendants command on a council made up of exact 100 other Ascendants. The lower the number, the higher an Ascendant is ranked. For exampled, First Ascendant is considered the second highest rank, and second only to the Claw od Ada himself in power. An Ascendant can move higher up the Council by killing the next Ascendant higher up then he. This means that the Tul'kaarin are always lead by the strongest and most capable. The Ascendants convene on important times to discuss the future of the Tul'kaarin Cult, as well as diplomacy and trade with others, if they are deemed worthy.

All Ascendants command their own forces, though the higher their rank, the larger their forces, and more fearsome their technology. The First Ascendant commands much of the Tul'kaarin fleet into battle, where's the 89th Ascendant commands only a small Clan's worth of warriors. Likewise, The Claw of Ada, being above the First Ascendant, leads the entire military might of the faction.

Their weapons in battle vary depending on which Ascendant is in battle. Some prefer heavy, long ranged ordinance, though most prefer melee weapons, combined with incredible essence powers. These powers come from a drug called the breath of the void, and the Tul'kaarin imbibe it in order to become one with their god and gain a fraction of his power. The higher ranking a Tul'kaarin, the more of this drug they may take, which explains why only Ascendants display such profound essence powers.



Star Fleet
The Tul'kaarin War fleet, otherwise called the Death Fleet, is the vast collection of starships maintained by the Tul'kaarin for war, colonization and expansion efforts across the galaxy. Incredibly vicious and powerful, but also organized and efficient in battle, the Death Fleet could bring death to thousands of sectors across the galaxy if they so wished, but currently act to maintain their power base.

The Tul'kaarin have always taken what they needed from the Ruins Hand, the Mendel Pact, and other Mendel splinter factions in raids on the out-skirts of their territory, stealing and repurposing technology to suite their needs and fight for them. As such, while they may not be able to maintain as good a technology level as the Mendel Pact, their weapons commonly use more alien forms of weaponry and equipment the main Pact is unexperienced with, and may have never seen before.

The Death Fleet itself relies heavily on fast, daring raids before the battle is joined, weakening enemies as much as possible before they begin their attack. When they feels the enemy is softened up enough, they deploy their full force to strike the killing blow and hit their enemies with fast, deadly attacks meant to hurt as much as possible. While having full armaments of Frigates, capital ships and other large vessels, they have fewer fighters then one might expect for a fleet their size.

Individuals
Mavarla Atrass= Mavarla Atrass is the current High Lord and Claw of Ada among the Tul'kaarin, and their supreme leader and warrior. Mavarla formed the Tul'kaarin to serve Ada, as well as his own interests, believing himself a better leader then Anthil Agna, and seeking to establish his own empire in the Mirus galaxy. Whether or not Ada is actually a god or not matters little to him, but it keeps his troops in order, and so allows him to maintain his own private empire. Mavarla is a powerful speaker and orator, using it to bind even the Volver within the Blood Brothers to his will, and continues to act the part of a zealous crusader.
 * Name - Mavarla
 * Position - Claw of Ada
 * Species - Ugandalorian
 * Gender - Male
 * Status - Active

Mavarla is an extremely charismatic individual, though relies mostly on his savage nature and nature among his warriors to keep them in line. Even if they do not agree with his way of worshipping the Void King, few have the courage to truly challenge him. Many say Mavarla has turned torture and misery into an art, able to keep his enemies on the brink of death, yet never quite able to die until Mavarla wills it. As such, many follow him out of a need to be closer to Ada, out of respect for Mavarla, or, most often, a fear of him.

Altraak= Altraak is an Ascendant of the Tul'kaarin and second in command of the entire organization. Her rise to power started at around the same time as Mavarla's, and was known for her twisted sense of honor and cunning compared to the more straight forward Mavarla. Unlike many Tul'kaarin and Mendel who had joined the Void cults, Altraak has never found need to carve the Words of Ada into her body like so many of her kindred, for she has memorized each and every text and mantra Ada had given his followers, by heart. Indeed, few doubted Altraak's loyalty to the cause, and has always been a devout follower of Ada.
 * Name - Altraak
 * Position - Ascendant
 * Species - Ugandalorian
 * Gender - Female
 * Status - Active

Of the two, Altraak was the more noted for her skills in rallying warriors to her cause, though Mavarla's power as a warlord and conqueror made it easier for him to attract Ugandalorian followers. When Mavarla proposed splinting from Anthil's forces, Altraak decided to join him, as he clearly had more warriors under his command, and she herself has something else in mind for the organization.

To serve him is to understand him for what he truly is, not to follow him as the god he never pretended to be in the first place!
