History
The Aurora Society (Japanese: 暁学会, Hepburn: Aurōra gakkai) were a secret society that existed in England during the Victorian era. It was founded by Rian Stoker who was the Director of Karnstein Hospital where alongside his fellow upper-ranked doctors they sought to find a way of reviving the dead as well as cure humanity of death. However, despite his best efforts, Rian was unable to revive the deceased with the medicine he possessed. Eventually, Rian met Undertaker who quickly became the true mastermind behind the resurrection experiments and is responsible for making the corpses move while Rian became completely reliant on Undertaker's powers. Although Rian was not able to comprehend the general notions of the treatment Undertaker had concocted, he used it on his patients. Undertaker created the moving corpses, which he refers to as Bizarre Dolls, by tampering with their Cinematic Records. He built the Device as a faux safeguard for Rian to keep up the illusion that he was reviving the corpses with technology. In 1888, the Aurora Society was sought out by Edgar Redmond, Lawrence Bluewer, Gregory Violet, and Herman Greenhill to revive Johann Agares, Derrick Arden, and some other Weston College students who they had murdered.
Overview
In appearance, the Aurora Society was a private association of elite doctors that operated from Karnstein Hospital where they conducted illegal human experimentation in an attempt to revive the dead. Their objective was to save mankind by developing a medicine that could stop the worst kind of health issue which was death itself.
Their motto was, "absolute salvation of mankind through medicine."
The signal to go to the meeting is when a waiter walks around the hall, carrying empty glasses. The attendees would take one and go to the meeting place. In order to enter, one must pay an extravagant price for a glass of water and acknowledge the fixed greeting, "The complete flame in our chests shall not be extinguished by anyone. We are 'The Phoenix.'" (完全なる胸の炎は何者にも消せやしない。我ら「不死鳥フェニックス」, Kanzen'naru mune no honō wa nanimono ni mo keseyashinai. Ware ra 'Fenikkusu') After saying so, one must pose as a phoenix. Once permitted, he or she, particularly first-timers, would receive a membership badge
As said by Rian Stoker, there exists a device that omits supersonic waves, rendering all patients subjected to the complete salvation inactive again.
The society was known to engage in experiments in artificial medicine that was to be the complete salvation. This was designed to revive the dead by implanting a special device that was placed in the brain of the deceased. These implants then generated a weak electric current so that the signals could animate the body. However, testing of the technology simply revived the dead as man-eating beings known as the Bizarre Dolls (歪んだ肉人形, Bizāru dōru).
