Fiction:Brotherhood of Darklings/Servants

"Bow your knee, and accept my Father's blessing. He loves all his servants!"

- Gridlock

The Brotherhood relies on a variety of Servants and soldiers to carry out their bidding and command their cults of personality. Highly treacherous, and highly manipulative, few know when a servant of the Brotherhood will betray you, or when they still will strike at you. All that one can know is that they are all deceptive, vicious warriors.

Terikalinra prefers to recruit from the more highly intelligent, beings of the universe, those who seek knowledge from dark places, or scientists who have gown a step too far. He shows a very caring nature towards his servants, always blessing them with new weapons and abilities when they please him.

Brotherhood servants can, when they will it, enter a state called Shadow Titan. The Titan state can be entered when either A) They have pleased Dark and can gain the state from him by passing his tests, or sacrificing enemies, or B)By putting themselves through physical pain and concentrating on the dark energy in their bodies, allowing it to change themselves.

Once a Servant gains the right to use these abilities, being can enter and leave the state whenever they so choose. However, all must cause themselves a wound in order to enter it from hence forth. For example, Gridlock, Terikalinra's son, can enter the state by slitting both wrists with his claws. In this state, the Darkling servants gains all powers a Darkling has, nearly 60, and also gains increased strength speed, and durability. However, they must power down after battle, or risk their body imploding from the forces under their command.

Servants either know of Dark's true nature, if they are high ranking enough, or, if low ranking, are tricked into believing him a god or demon.
