Adept

An Adept is a person whose soul has been imprinted with an attribute of God. This occurs on a metaphysical level after a powerful encounter with the spirit of the infinite being. Adepts can be created from any race or category of sentient being so long as they posses a soul.
== Orders: ==
Each Adept is placed into a group of other Adepts with the same attribute, a group known commonly as an Order. Each Order of Adepts has a name based on an epithet appropriate for their overall makeup and nature. Those Adepts imprinted with God's sense of justice are known as the Order of Judges, because the title of judge is appropriate for just such a people. Most Orders usually have differences in name based on regional histories and languages. 
The use of the term 'Order' has dominated the Adept community since the early medieval ages, although the various Orders go by other systems of naming. This is especially true across the Omniverse. Each Order will have it's own structure, habits and agenda based off of the divine attribute that unites them. Orders also keep Chantries which they operate as headquarters closed off to non-members of the Order. 
Adept Orders are often grouped into various lists such as the Arcane Orders, the Militant Orders, the Scholastic Orders, etc. These lists are unofficial and are merely a social norm common to Adept Society.
Most Orders are listed as the Minor Orders, these are small Orders with few Chantries and other assets. They make up the bulk of list of total Adept Orders although they exist only as weak Orders formed from people who have a loose and very specific connection to God.
Next is the Petitioner Orders. These are significantly more powerful Orders who draw their power both from God and from a specific group of Supernatural forces known as a Paradigm. The Order of Infinity is the premiere Petitioner Order, they can draw power from God Himself by calling upon Him using a specific Name.
Finally, there are the two Meta Orders. These are by far the largest of the Orders and together they make up the bulk of Adept Society. They are the Order of Creators and the Order of Destroyers. They are particularly powerful because they draw their power from God's very nature. 
== Chapters: ==
Finally there are the Chapters. The term Chapter is a very loose one and describes any organization of Adepts be it a military one, a business organization, a fraternal organization or even just a group of people who get together regularly and have an agenda. 
Like Orders, Chapters are often included on various lists but it also just a social norm.
