KAVOD (ka-vod)

Nature

The true nature of Kavod (habriu, “glory” & “armaments”) is that it originates from the supernatural divine realm, possessing power & authority that is beyond all reality. This means that Kavod operates beyond the laws of reality itself, allowing its users to bring into existence whatever effects or phenomena they desire. Kavod uses Energeia (meaning “divine energy”) as the fuel to the vast powers of the users of Kavod. Kavod is unique in that it comes with an special kind of covering that is called Brandeum (which in ancient latinus means “Holy Covering.”) Brandeum is apart of the overall power that Kavod provides, yet it is not tied to the energy that is used to fuel the powers of Kavod users. Instead, it is a manifestation of the Kavod each Sanctis wields.
Like Dunamai, Kavod originates from the Great Source and has the innate power to affect reality easily. Kavod is outside of the laws of reality itself meaning that Kavod can affect & bring into existence whatever phenomena the Sanctis desires. Kavod generates Energeia that acts as the fuel for the powers that Kavod grants.
Kavod does not use anything found in the magical world (spells, incantations, etc) as it is the very antithesis of such phenomena. Kavod grants all Sanctis a vast number of divine powers that affects both the divine & natural realms. Sanctis also possesses powers that are unique to them due to the nature of Kavod itself.
   

Brandeum

The supernatural covering called Brandeum (brand-e-um) means “Holy Covering”, and is also unique to each individual. Each Sanctis’ covering is tied to their power, and are not separate. The look of each armor is unique, and can range to be more form-fitting to being more bulky. Brandeum can only use their full power when completely in their covering, although they can use part of their powers when using only parts of their Brandeum. Sancti can will the Brandeum to manifest, disappear, & change form at will. Brandeum is not made of metal, but instead is a type of divine substance that can become harder than the hardest material. Yet is can become more flexible than any fabric. Brandeum can also be both hard & flexible at the same time.
Base Power Usage: All Sanctis are able to use their base power without having to wear their Brandeum anytime they please, which allows them to engage in battle very quickly. This applies only to their base power, however.
Partial Brandeum Usage: Sanctis can use part of their Brandeum at will, which allows them to use only what power they need to deal with whatever situation they are in. However, this does not allow them to use their full power but only partial amounts of power, which is beyond their base power. The partial amount of Brandeum that Sancti use is connected to how much of their power they can use outside of their base.
Full Brandeum Usage: In order to use their full power, every Sanctis must wear their full Brandeum by simply willing it to manifest. There is no other way for Sancti access the full depth of their power without wearing their Brandeum. Sanctis can wear their Brandeum instantly.
Metaphysical form: Sanctis can transform their Brandeum into any type of clothing at will, allowing them to remain in full gear while being able to keep it hidden in plain sight. However, in order to use their full power Sanctis must transform their Brandeum back into its true form.
 

Attributes

Divine Empowerment: All Sanctis receives their powers from their Kavod, which has a very similar nature to the power source of Dynami. Kavod comes from the Great Source.
Transfigured physiology: The physiology of both Human & Beast Sanctis is permanently altered via exposure to the full presence of the Great Source. The very Presence of the Great Source causes the attributes of all Sanctis to be elevated to a type of divine body in a state called transfiguration. The transfigured bodies of all Sanctis are able to operate in the natural realm easily, but also has the capabilities to interact with the Divine realm as well. There are legends that say that the Humans & Beasts of Eden at one time possessed transfigured bodies, allowing them to walk within the supernatural Garden. The unique trait about the transfigured bodies of the Sanctis is that there is no genetic mutation/alteration, hybrid traits, nor anything of the like at all. The transfigured bodies of Human & Beast Sanctis are still intact, but elevated to a higher state by the Great Source’s very Presence.
Supernatural power: Sanctis possess varying degrees of supernatural power which acts as the core from where all of their powers manifest from. These energies acts as the fuel for their powers, being harnessed into their various individual power each Sanctis wields. In the case of Sanctis, their energies are tied to their armor. The amount of power each Sanctis has is dependent on what power class they are part of, and within that class what level he or she either currently has or has attained. Essentially, the more powerful the Sanctis is, the more power he or she wields.
Total supernatural control: All Sanctis have full control over their powers, making it impossible for other beings to siphon them.
Supernatural strength: All Sanctis possess supernatural strength, which is dimensions above the strength of even other beings whose strength is not supernatural at all. The supernatural strength of Sanctis varies on each individual.
Supernatural invulnerability: All Sanctis have supernatural invulnerability that ensures that they cannot be affected by anything that is not supernatural in nature. There is nothing that can affect them at all that is not supernatural, which means that no force, superpowered being, not weaponry, nor anything else that can affect them. Only the supernatural can affect them, though how much depends on the power level of each Sanctis. Sanctis can withstand impact forces, fall from great heights, exposure to temperatures, pressure extremes, and powerful force blasts.
Supernatural Durability: Sanctis possess extraordinary amounts of durability that enables them to withstand damage from various sources, in the event that their invulnerability may be bypassed. Sanctis can withstand impact forces, fall from great heights, exposure to temperatures, pressure extremes, powerful force blasts, etc.

Supernatural speed & reflexes: All Sanctis possesses the power to move at superhuman speeds, which is far beyond supersonic. They can also perform complex actions at blinding speeds. Sanctis can move that speeds ranging from near the speed of light to far beyond the speed of light. Their reflexes give them reaction times that allow them to dodge point-blank assaults, etc. Due to the fact that their speed is supernatural in nature, Brandeum are not bound to the natural laws of physics at all.
Supernatural agility: All Sanctis’ agility, balance, and bodily coordination are increased to levels that are beyond the physical limits of even other superpowered beings, due to their supernatural powers.

Supernatural healing & regeneration: Despite their great resilience, it is possible to injure Sanctis. However, they are capable of recovering from injuries with superhuman speed and efficiency. All Sanctis are resistant to all known diseases and infections. They can regenerate missing limbs and organs easily. They also can extend their supernatural healing ability to another living being to ensure their survival.
Supernatural healing extension: Sanctis who are deeply connected to the Great Source can also heal the injuries of other people or bestiary easily by waving their hand at the patient speaking in a UNKNOWN TONGUE. This can only be done by Sanctis who are deeply faithful to the Great Source.
Supernatural perception & awareness: Sanctis possess supernatural awareness that allows them to be aware of many things, and gain deeper understanding of various things. The depth of this supernatural awareness varies on each individual.
Supernatural perception: Sanctis possess supernatural perception that allow them to sense other living beings, as to determine their abilities. They can even tell what supernatural influences are occurred within their range, regardless of their nature and origin. They can even sense the presence of technological beings such as paratek forces. They also can see supernatural beings that normally would be invisible. It is nearly impossible to sneak up on Sanctis.

Supernatural teleportation: All Sanctis have the power to supernaturally teleport in any location they can determine at will.
Apporting: Sanctis can teleport anyone from one location to one another through a chosen motion: a simple wave of their hand, a snap of their fingers, or doing so without any gesture at all.
Supernatural translocation: Sanctis have the ability to move from one place to another supernaturally, displacing themselves to do so. This is done by warping from one place to another. The action happens in the physical plane; the translocation is a supernatural act that renders the user invulnerable to any physical interaction. This is not the same as teleportation.
Matter translocation: Sanctis also have the ability to translocate matter and move it elsewhere in a manner very similar to their own translocation. Sanctis can move objects, humans, animals (including Bestiary), buildings, other living beings, etc.
Innate power restoration: All Sanctis have the innate ability to automatically restore their powers within moments, even after suffering extreme degrees of direst.
Self-sustenance: Sanctis' supernatural energies can sustain them to the point where each individual Sanctis can go without food or water for indefinite periods of time. They literally can go without food and water for their entire lifespan.
Environmental adaptation: All Sanctis can live in any environment as they cannot be affect by that environment. They can live in the harshest environmental conditions indefinitely and they can survive in the vacuum of space. They are immune to the harshest temperatures of cold and heat.
Life Resonance: Sanctis also generate a resonance called a Life resonance, which is the same type of resonance that covers all of Eretz. This resonance allows Brandeum to fly above Eretz to the cosmos while ensuring that they do not suffer any mental damage while they are above the life resonance field of Eretz. The life resonance frequency that every Sanctis generates is 7.83.
  There are also a vast number of power sets that are available to the Sanctis within Kavod, which any of them can wield through their individual nature and personal preference.

Users

There are many wielders of Kavod that have existed in several eras of time in history, and there are Kavod users currently as well. Within these people are certain users who are granted even greater Kavod that enables them to project even greater heights of power.
Kavod has many empowered wielders but those users only come from certain kinds of individuals. These kinds are Humans & Beasts who are chosen to wield Kavod by The Source, which will turn them into Sanctis. This does not mean that they are a separate kind of being at all. Instead, Sanctis is a collection of Humans & Beasts who are called to be a type of “knight." Many Sanctis who wield Kavod recognize this as their acceptance of their election.
