History

The Awoken were originally humans who lived during the time of the Golden Age as mankind dominated the Solar System. During that time, a colony designated the Exodus Green was part of a fleet where it was the lead vessel of Project Amrita. The goal of the fleet was to find a habitable planet that was far from the influence of the Traveler where the colony ship Yang Liwei contained a crew complement of around 900 colonists. In this time, the Solar System came to face the arrival of the Darkness that brought about the Collapse with this occurring before the Yang Liwei could leave te system. The ship came to encounter one of the Pyramid vessels of the Darkness and was caught by its influence. At the same time, the Traveler attempted to intervene and fired a beam of light to push back its ancient foe but it was unable to fully repel it. The interaction between the two paracausal forces created a kugelblitz that was a tear in reality that swallowed the Yang Liwei and sending it into a pocket universe called the Distributary. Whilst there, the ship's 891 crew members and 40,000 passengers were all annihilated with them losing their physical forms as they became beings of pure potential. One among them was Mara Sov who was a low-ranking crewmember that beacme the first to enter into kugelblitz before the rest of the ship. She came to reassemble her disembodied conscience after finding out that she could manipulate the Distributary's physical laws according to her desires. This saw her transforming it into a planet that was an earthly paradise whilst also creating a new body for herself. Alongside her was the ship's captain Alis Li who had also awakened in a similar manner as Mara Sov who then began inducin the other crew members of the ship to awaken. This saw them reincarnating themselves into new blue-skinned star-eyed bodies where they only had vague memories of their past lives.

Overview

In appearance, the Awoken were a humanoid race that had pale blue, purple, green or gray skin where they had luminescent eyes with glowing irises. It was known that their people were immortal and did not die of old age.

It was said that the Awoken loved secrets.

Many Awoken lived in the distant reef aloof and mysterious but others returned to Earth where their descendants came to reside there. Earthborn Awoken sometimes ventured out to the Reef hoping to learn its secrets. Reefborn Awoken had spent long ages out on the edge of everything and were privy to many secrets.

In time, there were noted to had been two different guiding philosophical factions within the Awoken. One were the Eccaleists who believed that as they were born of the conflict between Light and Darkness that they were obligated to play a role in the resolution of the conflict as well as return to Earth. In contrast, the Sanguine believed that the existence of the Awoken was a gift and that they had no responsibility to resolve the conflict between Light and Darkness that had birthed them with their ideology justifying cutting off all contact from the Earth.

There were a number of Awoken organisations included:

  • Corsairs : an elite special forces unit of the Awoken of the Reef where they served as long-range scouts and scavengers with them undertaking dangerous exploration expeditions and missions of vital strategic importance.
  • Techeuns : an order of Tech Witches and Awoken mystics charged with the study of paracausal forces who were employed as the Reef thrones personal advisors.
  • Royal Awoken Guard :
  • Reef Cryptarchy :

An artifact used by the Awoken was the Wayfinder's Compass that could lead the bearer to places that were almost familiar. Within the Dreaming City, the Awoken had built the Oracle Engine in the Observatory that was an arcane device capable of connecting different planes of reality either for communication or transportation.

A large settlement of Awoken came to reside in a location in the Solar System called the Reef which was situated in the Asteroid Belt. Within the Distributary, Mara Sov created the Dreaming City that was a long-hidden stronghold sacred to the Awoken of the Reef.
